C. P. Convention
 Here to Be Hot One
Will Be Attended by All the Leading
 Republicans of Territory.

By reading the exchanges on the last boats it is made clear that the Republican Territorial convention to be held here on the 10th of next month will be one of the most remark able, if not actually the most so, that was ever held in Alaska. All the big guns of the party in the Territory will be present. L. P. ShacklefOrd will attend in person and Rustgard will be here to meet him to fight his every move either by lobbying out side the convention or otherwise. An other stormy petrel of politics will be here in the shape of Tom Marquam of Fairbanks. From Seattle will come W. A. Gilmore, of Nome, and there is a sort of rumor that Gil will be fouLd on the side of Shack. There are still some sub rosa affairs to be cleared. The Valdez bunch is nearly all out against Wickersham but it is appar- ently a question whether the proposa; to nominate the present delegate will not receive strong support from the delegates from Fairbanks and all the interior where Wickersham has got big hold on the crowd. Between the delegates who will represent Seward, Cordova and Valdez there is now gO- ing on a quiet bit of work to frame up for the big event. Opinion seems to differ as to the relative strength of Wickersham's friends and his oppOn- ents but the thing is being studied out in preparation. The Seward Re publicans, for instance, have recently got in touch with the Valdez dele gates and to some extent with the Cordovans who, by the way, are al- most sure to fight Wickersham to a man. The intention of ShacklefOrd is evidently to secure a strong union be- tween himself and Wickersham to get together on the patronage question in the event that the Republicans win in the general elections. The fact that Wick has gone over unresevedly to the Republicans threaten to place him in charge of all Republican pat rOnage to the busting of ShacklefOrd and all others. Shacdeford, it is thought, will again be a candidate for national committeeman.

OF THE BRITISH
 NAVY FEARFULLY UGLY

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 ABOARD II. M. S. TORPEDO BOAT NO. %, SOMEWHERE IN THE NORTH SEA, March 1S.-visi- ble proof that British ship yards have not been idle since this war began was seen from the deck of this little craft today.
 Steaming slowly past a long double line of warships, observers aboard were able to look upon new type of sea fighters, many types in fact, built for war and not for looks. These ugly coIOred craft with mottled sides and daubed plates were the babies" of the fleet, infants" who have plunged their noses into the sea with out ceremony or publicity.
 The ship yards from whence they came are turning out sister ships as fast as men can put metal together. No time is being wasted veneering the officers cabins in mahogany or to putting the painters touch on the hull and super-structure. These newest craft are just plain ugly but they em- body all the last kinds of efficiency for which naval constructures have the experience of the war to thank.
 The makeup of these fleet babies" must remain a mystery until after the war. In the meantime they are the secret pride of the British navy,

SHAKESPEARE WOULD GO TO
 BED WITH THE CHICKENS

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 STRATFORD-ON-AvON, March 1. -(By MaiD-If William Shakespeare lived today he would not spend long night hours penning literature for future generations in his home on StratfOrd's main thoroughfare.
 Lights are prohibited in Stratford. The mayors council has decided that until the war is over StratfOrders shall go to bed with the chickens or spend their evenings in darkness. The recent Zeppelin raid on the Mid lands is responsible for the order.
 In peace time tourists from all parts of the world came here to see where and how Shakespeare lived. The town council is simply taking precautions in order that there will be something left for tourists to see after the war.

ENGLISH ARISTOCRATS
 WANT HEAVIER TAXES

Special to Gateway by United Press) LONDON, March l4.-There is a vigorous, growing demand throughout England for higher, much higher, taxes; not so much to raise more money for the war as to compel peO- pie to economize. At any rate, this is the way the movements packers express it.
 The argument is that even 8 man who can afford to do so, has no right to consume the country's sustenance extravagantly at such a time. It is charged that many of the working classes, whose wages have been greatly inflated by the war, insist on doing it. The higher taxes" ad- vocates want the government to com pei labor to economize.
 Incidentally, it is pointed out that increased taxation will enable Eng land to meet more of it's war bills as it goes along, instead of saddling them on to prosperity. A heavy tar if on the necessaries of life is the thing most generally urged. It has been noticed that, rather oddly, this programs supporters are mostly of the aristOcratic, capitalistic, cOnser- vative class. From this fact the fol- lowing conclusion has been drawn and freely expressed by many English men:
 Worldngmen are making so much money at present that their standard of living is much higher than before the war. After the war there will be a return to old conditions. This will result in bitter discOntent and the workers will object to a return to the old standard. If the capitalists can make the workingman's taxes so heavy now that his higher pay will do him no good, he will not find fault with a subsequent slump, correspond ingly, to lower wages and lower prices.
 As for the other argument, these same radicals reason that all the war bills the workers are forced to pay for now will be, by just that much, a lighter burden on the capitalists in the future. Whether this is a social istic argument or not, it is much heard in England at present.

SAYS VILLA DEFEATED

FL PASO March 21-In a wireless message to Columbus General Pershng says the Vaistas have been heavily defeated by the Carranza forces and are retreat ing into the Santa Clara mountains It is impossible to get any reports past the censos and it is even thought that some false stories are being circulated to deceive any possible Villa scouts The same tactics are being adopted by the military authorities adopted in the European belHgerent countries and today when 1t was an- nounced that Aviation Lieutenant Bowen who was scout ing ahead of the American expedition fell and was seri- ousy injured it was stated that the accident took place Somewhere in Mexico"

FL PASO, March 2l.-The force of Colonel Cano en- gagged in battle at 48O o'clock Monday afternoon with the bandits led by Villa at NamaQuipa. According to the dispatches received by General Gavra the Caanza com mander at Juarez the result of the fighting had not been decided at the time the last dispatch was received It is clear however, that some severe fighting has been in progress and that the Caranza troops have gained posi- tons where it was possible to force Villa to combat This fact leads to the hope that the mobile American columns will soon be in touch with the bandits

|: % % * * @ % * * % 6 ( |: GREAT WOMANS {" |: CONVENTION SOON {"

United Press Staff Correspondent,
 NEW YORK, March To- Father Knickerbocker will tip his three cornered hat to twenty thousand club women while two million others throughout the United States and its possessions watch from afar the opening of the biennial convention of Federated Women's Clubs of the United States, in New lors May 23.
 Scarce a city or town in the United States, Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Philip pines or Panama but whose mos, prominent clubwomen will journey to Gotham for the monster feminine meetings in the mammoth Seventh Regiment armory. This convention is looked forward to as one of the biggest and most important gather ings of women ever held.
 Every feminine and many a mas culine problem will be considered from the moment Mrs. P. V. Penny packer of Texas, President of the General Federation, bangs the block with her silver crusted gavel, untn the last argumentative female voice is stilled at the close of the sessions June End.
 The list of subjects will include the price of peace and petticoats, the length of love and lingerie; women's spheres and wOmen's tears; chops and chowder, paints and powder, babies, ballots, civic betterment and how to avoid crows-feet, the management of husbands and other hired help; war, divorce and hats, of course.
 To be sure, this does not begin to ap- proximate the length of the list, but when you pause to consider the num- Der of things one woman can think of to talk about, then multiply that by twenty thousand and start them all up with the avowed purpose of talking why, no wonder.
 The women want President Wilson to open the convention. William Howard Taft, Miss Jane Addams, Mayor Mitchell and other notables will speak. Mrs. John Hays Hammond is chairman of the Conventions Advi- sory committee. Mrs. William Todd Helmuth is honorary chairman of the convention. Mrs. Francis D. Everest of Chicago is chairman of the pro- gram committee. Mrs. William Grant Brown of New York is chairman of the local Biennial Board.
 A merry, merry session is fully ex- pected when it comes to the election of a new National President to suc- ceed Mrs. Pennypacker.
