The Anchorage Times, published by Charles E' Heron. former chairman of the Republican Terri'or' ial committee says:
 Every appeal that has been made to Deie'
 gate Wickersham by the commercial bodies
 and residents of the Territory has also been
 given his personal attention and Alaska IS
 recognized in a way that has redounded to the
 credit of the Delegate and satisfaction or the
 large number of people he represents to whom
 he Is ever willing to give his time and his
 services in behalf of any measure for the wei
 fare of this Northland.'
 So! Perhaps the Anchorage paper will inform The Tuneau City Council the Juneau School Board ana -be Juneau Commercial Club to just what personal attention the Delegate given to their requests Tor Ieeisation that would permit the people of this elty 10 vote on the question of raising money with Whch m bund very badly needed school house? PernspS r win inform the members Of the Territorial Legisa ture how much personal attention the Delegate has de voted to the memorial asking for additional powers Tor fhe people of the Territory Perhaps it will inform then, as to the Delegates personal attention to num- erous other memorials that they adopted m response 10 public demand? Perhaps it will explain what the Delegate meant when he, in speech delivered at Jul reau told the members Of the Legislature to keep their fool mmorals" and perhaps it will give list of the memorials adopted which the Delegate regards as fool memorials?'

SUBMARINE MINE LAYER
LATE PRIZE OF BRITISH
Prior to Capture Made Nineteen
Trips From Base I'm Germany
to English Coast.
BUILT FOR THIS ONE PURPOSE
Shows Signs OF Rapidity of Construc-
ton, but Appears Well Fitted for
Short Trips Across North Sea-To

LONDON. July 2l.-The German sub
marine mine layer which is one of the
U-3o class, one of the latest prizes of
the British navy. was visited by an
Associated Press representative to- da v
prior to its being placed on public ex-
hibition in the Thames.
The, prize. flying the German naval
ensign surmountcd by the British en-
sign, lay in a naval dockyard on the
east coast The vessel is designed
purely for mine laying The entire
forward part is composed of wells. Six
in number, each containing two power
full mines, which can be released by
levers. The ship has no torpedo tubes
or other armament except small arms
for the crew, and Is only 100 feet in
length.
Thirteen bluejackcts and five officers
comprise the crew OF the submarine
According to one OF the seamen she
made, prior to her capture, nineteen
trips from her base in Germany to the
British coast. and laid over 200 mines
in routes frequented by merchant yes
sells. She was on her twentieth trip
when she was captured by the British
patrol-boat
The sailors said that when the sub
patrol boat the crew tried to get rid
of her remaining mines. but had not
sufficient time. Seeing that capture
was inevitable the officers ordered tho
abandonment of the ship. destroyed the
log and other records. and virtually
demolished the six cylinder Diesel en-
CINE Of approximately o50-horse power.
All of the crew and officers were taken
prisoner.
The hull of the submarine Is in good
condition, but shows number Of dents
where it struck obstacles in it's under
water voyages. The craft shows signs
of rapidity OF construction. but appears
we'll fitted for short trips across the
North Sea. British naval officers point
ed out that the mines carried no ap-
paratus for rendering them harmless
