MEN OF NORTH
 GAN FLY HIGH
 IF THEY WANT
Government Has Made It Possible for Young Fellows to Get an
 Opportunity.
ONE ENTRY ALREADY IN

Word has been retcived in Juneau that young mon residents of Alaska, who wish to become trained ayiators, may now have the opportunity to do so under the provisions Of the recent act of Congress which sets ashe S13.2S1 .666 for aerial defense lt is tho plan to form trained aero squad. rons among the men of the 12 mil. itia sections. and to furnish training to any member Of the National Guard from those sections who desires and who can pass the necessary physi- cal examinations.
 The word was received today in a letter from the President of the Aero Club of America and one ap. pllcation has already been received from Alaska. Crit C. Holman, Of Seward. who was in Juneau last win ter and who is well known in all the coast towns Of Alaska, has filed his application for a course of training.
 Congress made appropriations for the organizing of twelve aero squad rons for the twelve militia divisions, the sum of SSOO,0OO being allowed for each squadron. The War De- partment is anxious to assist the militia in every way possible, and Lieut.. Colonel George O. SQuier com. manding officer of the Aeronautic Section of the army. in co-ordinating all the resources at his disposal to facilitate the training of the hun dreds of National Guardsmen from different States who are anxious to learn to fly.
 To get aviation training at the army aviation schools, the Guards men must apply to the Department of Militia Affairs at Washington, through -their adjutant generals, who will send the applications to the Department of Militia Affairs with their endorsement The Department will then give prompt consideration to Che application, and, if the candi- date passed the physical examina- tlons prescribed by the army for aviation service, the candidates will be sent to one of the army aviation schools. Aviation mechanics and as- sistants will make application in the same way, and will be sent to aero plane factories to get experience with aeroplanes and motors. After the National Guardsmen have learned to fly. they can go back to their states anl form aero companies and got the aeroplanes and equipment from the War Department.

The President Is understood to TO. gard the latter two incidents of much greater present importance and is anxious that they should be set. tied satisfactorily wlthrm the short est possible time.
 lt would not surprise the admin tratlon should Mir. Hughes assail tho President because of the restrictions imposed by tho British navy upon American trade, and this, too, it is contended, ought to make votes for Mr. Wilson, since the sentiment of the country is regarded as largely broadly. By putting an end to the blacklist and by stopping the treat ment Of mails now enforced by the British, it Is asserted that substan- ual relief will be accorded to Ameri- can trade and that when the broader questions involved in the blockade can be taken up again.
 Want Freedom of Action
 What the administration would like, according to its officials, is Co have foreign affairs treated in the United States as they are treated in England and some other foreign states. In those countries the oppo- sition is informed Of all that is trans 'piring, and only after all danger of trouble has passed does a debate take place
 The result is that the nation ap- pears united while the negotiations are in progress. and this adds tre- mendousIy to the strength of It's po- sitlon. There is no liklihood. how ever, of any such policy being pur' sued in the United States, certainly during the campaign.
 Mir. Hughes is being furnished with ammunition by Republicans who have followed the course of events here and he will fire lt at what he deems opportune moments during the campaign. As has been stated the President will make response when necessary, but he win do sc cautiously and in such fashion as Co becoming the center Of the political prevent the State Department from storm.

Third Power Involved

What is true of China is true of Mexico. A great deal of information obtained regarding developments in the neighboring country has come through a third power The reports have frequently modified the Presi- dents procedure. The power con veying the information might be seriously injured if the Carranza gov ernment knew of It's conduct.
 As matter of fact. with the pros pectiyc appointment Of a Mexican American commission to adjust ex. isting questions. the President does not expect much heed will be paid by the voters to Republican criti- cism. To this commission will be referred all matters in dispute. in- cluding any border raids or attacks on American troops which may oc- cur during the sittings of the tri- bunal
 To make Mexico an issue while the President is endeayoring to restore peace and order through diplomatic means necessarily. it is eontended, will hamper the work of the com missioners. At the same time it is argue that what Mir. Hughes has said will be helpful to an early set clement. for the Carranza govern ment will understand that its one friend is MT. Wilson and that if he should be defeated the Republican President will give it short thrift.
 Foreign Hands Strengthened
 The administration points out that Republican speeches also are apt to handicap 1t in the negotiations with the allies regarding the blockade. the trade blacklist and the censoring of mails. Secretary Lansing returned to his desk at the State Department today and following his arrival 1t developed that the expected note ip objection to the blockade will be delayed pending the determination Of the blacklist and mail matters.

SEATTLE AGAIN BEATS FRISCO
 FOR SHIPPING

SEATTLE. Aug. 1S.- Seattle's for. cign trade in July ran more than S2.4OO.OOO ahead of the foreign trade of the entire San Franciscod district, says the Times
 Seatte's foreign trade in that month aggregated $19,99l,S62, as against $lI5OO,221 for the San Fran cisco customs district
 The Seattle figures refer only to the commerce of this port the for eign trade of an other ports of the Washington customs district being excluded. The San Francisco stats- ties cover all the ports in California except Southern California.
 The comparison gives new and striking evidence Of the powerful po- sition now held by Seattle as the great foreign trade port of the Pa clfic Coast The exact lead of Seat tle over San Francisco proper meaning the city, not customs dis trict- cannot be determined until ,he San Francisco statistics have been segregated.
 But it is evident that Seattle has gone so far ahead of San Francisco that Elliott Bay stands in unchal- enged supremacy as the coasts pre- micr foreign trade port.
 The Scatte statistics arc taken from the July report of Port Warden A. A. Paysee. The San Francisco districts figures were made public by tho San Francisco Journal Of Commerce. A copy Of The Journal Of Commerce containing the statis- ties was received here this morning
 The entire San Francisco districts foreign exports in July had value of SS,622,O94 as compared with Seat ue's $7,S45.255 The entire San Fran cisco districts foreign imports in July had a total value of S8,S7S,127 as compared with Seattle's $12,1S7- 6O7.
 Seattle Leads In Imports
 Thus the entire san Francisco dis trict led Seattle in foreign exports by less than SSOO,OOO while in foreign imports Seattle led the entire San Francisco district by more than $3,- 25O.OOO.
 The San Francisco districts best cmuslomer in July was Russia. The districts exports to yladiyostok Si. beria. aggregated s2.O12.6S2. In the same period Seattle shipped goods valued at $S.1S6.617 to Vladiyostok.
 Seattle's great lead becomes all the more significant when it is known that the San Francisco dis trict's foreign trade in July smashed all the districts records for that month. N The San Francisco district never before had such a foreign trade in July
 In other words, Seattle's magnifi- cent lead is not due to any falling off in the San Francisco districts foreign trade. The southern ncgh- bors are increasing iheir foreign trade and are making splendid showing. California and Washington are both forging ahead, but where other coast ports are advancing at n trot, Seattle is advancing at gal lop.

Mrs. Albert Deatherage, of Row.
land was struck by an engine run

road crossing at Rowland this morn
ing about $50 o'clock and was in
stantly killed. Mrs. Deatherage had
been in poor health for some time,
and it is thought that she did not

when it came upon her. The pilot
struck her and carried her some dis
lance. A severe wound upon the
head is believed to have caused her
death.
Mrs. Deatherage was about so

TOUGH PROPOSITION TODAY
High School Team Plays Centre Col
lege Nine-Beat Mt. Vernon.

The Stanford High School base
ball team is working mighty hard to
keep its record clean this season, by
defeating the strong Centre College
nine here this afternoon. Of course,
the local lads are up against tough
proposition. A large crowd is out,
as much interest has been aroused
among the fans by the string of vic
chalked up. Mt. Vernon was the
latest victim, its nine being beaten
for the second time when it played
a return game here Wednesday. The
score was Is to 6 in favor of Stan
ford. The costly misplays of the Wis
itors, the batting of Sam Embry, Jr.,
and the work of the visitors twirler
were the outstanding features of the
game. Embry, who did not go into
the game until the 9Th, had a perfect
day at the bat, singing his first time
up and slamming out home-run
each of his other trips to the plate.
Payne, on the mound for the noun
taineers, played all of the game for
the visitors with the exception of
some nice work by Steamboat Bill"
Thompson. Payne got the poorest
sort of support behind the bat: how
ever, and from most Of the feeders.
He is 2aid to have played in the
South Atlantic League, and up un-
til the 9th had held Stanford to four
scattered hits. Bill Reinhart twirl-
ed nice game for Stanford and was
ably caught by young Spoonamore.
The work of Perkins, Shanks and Joe
Embry also was very fine. The

all the people be consulted enlighten-
ed upon these matters"
The situation again emphasizes
the absolute necessity in every
county that votes bonds of having
a commission to handle the money
and of employing competent road
engineer to direct the work of con-
struction.
In three of the counties, indict-
ments have been returned against
county officials for misuse of the
road funds.
In the case of Judge Asher, no
such accusation has been brought
or, we are confident, can be brought.
If he has made mistakes, they were
honest mistakes. If he erred, is has
been in trying to give Bell county
system of roads without calling to
his aid expert advice and co-opera-
ton.
The moral to be drawn is plain.
Road building is not a matter that
can be left solely in the hands of
County Judges and Fiscal Courts,
however, honest. The more money
voted for roads, the more impera-
tive the necessity of making road
building an undertaking not left to
the chance that county officials NAV
be both honest and efficient. tn.
county that is willing to vote bonds
to get roads is running an extreme
and needless risk if it fails at the
same time to provide the requisite
machinery to make assured the in
telligent, not less than honest, ex-
penditures on roads of the money SC
realized.
The counties of Kentucky have
already voted more than $4,000
600 of road bonds. That sum if
rightly expended, is sufficient in it.

tire county seat, statewide system
of roads at an average cost of $4,-

exercise a more efficient supervis-
ion than has been the case here
tofore, Kentucky will have neither
roads nor money to show for her
pains.-Louisville Times.

ULTIMATUM TO GERMANY.

President Wilson told Congress
assembled in joint session at one
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, he
has given Germany irrevocable no.
LITIGATION that the United States will
break off diplomatic relations, if her
illegal submarine campaign is con-
tinued. A note, Americas last word,
practically an ultimatum and demand
ing an immediate reply, presumably
was in the Berlin Foreign Office as
the President was speaking. The Pres
ident asked no action whatever to
Congress. He simply informed it of
the accumulation of facts proving
that Germany's assurances to the
United States are being violated; that
the submarine campaign, despite the
earnest protests of the United States
is being conducted with renewed Wig
or in contravention of all the laws of
nations and humanity, and that he
means to sever relations unless it is
brought within the law. Diplomatic
history of the world shows that such
a course is almost certain to be fol
lowed by war. The Presidents note
and his address to Congress are final.
They mark the end of diplomatic ex-
changes. A continuance of the long
friendly relations, the Pres
ident made clear, depends alone upon
Germany's conduct.
