The Seward gateway., 1916-04-18

The great majority of the delegates to the Republican Territorial comeu- tion arrived in Seward on the Admir- a. Evans this morning and the con
 will open in A. B. Hall to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock. 1t is still expected chat some delegates will arrive from Anchorage but if they left 1t is likely that word to tha, effect would have been telegraphed. Rev T. P Howard has the proxies for several of them and may have all the proxies before the convention opens. Charles Kennedy delegate from Candle in the Second division. is on the Northwestern. and also Charles E. Heron. chairman of tine Terutor- ial Republican committee. Both will arrive in time for the chief part of the work at least. but mo one knows whether lIr. Heron has a proxy or not. It is quite possible that some other bearers of proxies might come on the Northwestern.
 It would hardly be proper to spec ulate on the probable result of the convention now that the delegates are here. This paper has a pretty fairly accurate idea as to who are candj- dates for delegate nomination, for national committeeman, for delegates to the national convention. for attor- ney-geueral of the Territory and the rest but it is a matter for che dele gates themselves and the less prop hesyiug the better
 The convention will probably not get down to the real business until the second day. Temporary organi- zation will be effected tomorrow morning and committees appointed after which the permanent organiza- ton will take place and the big bat teries get in their work. It may be worthy of note, if it is not taking too much liberty, that a rumor was spread this morning that the appar- ent support of Wickersham by Shacdeford has shown signs of dis appearing during the trip along the coast. This may be only a rumor but as the two men and their mutual re- Iations seem to be the pivot of the whole thing just a note of this rumor may be permissible.
 The delegates here are as follows:

MILITIAMEN'S THRIFT
IMPRESSES CHAPLAIN
BY Staff Correspondent.

CAMP WILSON. San Antonio. (By
MaiD. Nov. 12.-Chaplain Arthur Lewis
Smith is loud In his praise Of the thrift
mess of the members of the Third
Regiment. He says he has also been
impressed with the faithfulness OF the
Washingtonians to their financial OBJ
legations at home. His enthusiasm Is
borne OF the fact that the District
militiamen sent more than $500 OF
their october pay back home to rela-
tives.
While the officers send substantial
checks and express and postal money
orders nome. the great bulk was sent
by the enlisted men. whose pay ranges
from SIS a month for a private to $45
for first sergeants. Scores OF the ex-
press money orders sold by Chaplain
Smith to the militiamen were for s..
$3.50. * and $40. In many instances
the amount sent home represented all
the militiamen had after paying their
bills at the canteen.
The militiamen have quieted down
considerably and most of them are
treadng the straight and narrow path.
The hike to New Braunfels. covering
sixty-four miles, which was In the ma
ture OF an endurance contest, con-
WINGED the militiamen that they must
keep themselves physically fit.
The Washingtonians' first pay day
here was characterized by scenes OF
jollity and mirth in strong contrast with
the soldiers crouch over the delay in
paying them. When Capt. E. W. Full
lam. regimental adjutant, instructed
Sergeant Loveless, chief OF the drum
and bugle corps. to sound pay CALL.
the sergeant jumped three feet in the
air and shouted with glee. At double
quick speed he rustled out the buglers
and drummers and began the ever.
welcome pay day parade.
After sounding pay call the buglers
played a little ditty known as You're
in the army now" The gist OF this
song is You're in the army now
you're not behind the pillow, you base
born boob the probabilities of your be-
coming wealthy are most remote. you're
in the army now" This Is not a yer.
batim copy of the words. but II Is al
near accurate as Is printable.
The exuberant militiamen did not like
this song following pay call, and chased
the buglers to their quarters.

BRITISH ADVOCATE
DOUBLY ARMED SHIP
Sentiment in London Favoring
Mounting Guns Fore and Aft
on Merchantmen.

LONDON. Nov. 20.-Under Secretary
Zimmerman's statement in Berlin,
claiming the right oil Germany to
sink unarmed ships. which was cabled
here in part, coincided with the re.
newed appeals to the British govern.
ment to bestir itself in the matter of
arming all merchant ships for defen.
sive purposes.
Winston Churchilrs assertion in
the House of Commons on Thursday
that, roughly, four-ffths OF the armed
ships had beaten of submarine at
lacks, while four.hfths of the un-
armed ships attacked perished, liz
generally accepted as accurate, and
forms the basis OF an argument
strongly advanced in some quarters
that British and allied merchantmen
should have guns mounted not only
AFT but fore as well, seeing that the
best method OF defense against the
submarine Is the offensive combina.
ton of ramming and gunfire.
Advocates OF this extreme view ad.
nit that ships so armed would not be
allowed to trade with American ports
but they urge that. while the Amer.
lean regulation could be complied with
In respect to vessels plying to Amer.
lea, no such restriction need apply to
ships touching only at British or al
lied ports.
