R|C NAVY YARDS ARE CAUSING
 ALARM

WASHINGTON, Jan. z. - The tes- timony of Rear Admiral Homer R. Stamford, chief of the bureau of yards of docks in the navy depart ment, before the house committee on military affairs, yesterday has occa- stoned considerable comment among the congressman concerning the pre- paredness of the nation to resist an invasion. The big navy yards at New York, Boston, Norfolk, Mare Island and at other places are not even de- pendable in theory, not to speak of being dependable in fact, according to the admiral The only deep water naval station in the whole country that is in theory properly located so that ships of all drafts could use it., and which is so situated as to make it possible to successfully defend it, is the yard on Puget Sound. Stand ford said that the biggest battleships would find no difficulty in entering the Sound and reaching a haven in the docks at the navy yard at Bremerton. Speaking of the navy yard at Brook lyn, N. Y, considered the most i'm rortant in the country, the admiral said: While the Puget Sound yard is in my opinion the best, on the ether hand I regard the situation at New York as rather serious"

INTEREST ALASKA COAL LEASING PLAN

addition the examination of isolated homestead surveys, and the execution of fragmentary surveys will be con tinued as the necessities dictate. In order to meet the requirements of survey along the lines herein indi- cated. provision should be made for the employment of nine field parties.
 "The usual yearly allotment to Alaska from the appropriation for sur veying the public lands is s25,000. On account of demands on this appropria- tion in the other surveying districts it would appear probable that this allot- ment could be considerably increased next season.
 Tt is therefore recommended that Congress be asked for a special ap- propriation of $5O.000 for the survey of public lands in Alaska. to be made continuously available until expended. After the exhaustion of the special appropriation it is believed that the usual yearly allotment from the gen. eral appropriation will be sufficient to meet the requirements of survey in the future"
 Legislation covering lands in cont mental United States recommended by Commissioner Tallman include the stock raising homestead bill, provid- ing for patenting $40 acres of land suitable for grazing to one entryman the water power bill, covering leases of water powers in the public lands and the general leasing bill, covering lands chiefly valuable for coal, oil nhosphates and potash.

SUGGE.S7 ECONOMY IN
 SALARIES

LONDON, Jan. '. -- After the cabi- net ministers made an earnest appeal to the trade union congress to defer demands for increased wages until after the war on the ground of na- tional economy, the suggestion came from the unions that the ministers themselves might set an example in economy by giving up part of their salaries, which in some offices are princely. It was indicated in parlia- ment that such a movement was con- templated by the ministers. But now a leading Liberal paper makes an in genious defence of the old scale of salaries.
 'Tt is an old saying" the paper argues, ''that a minister who gives his whole attention to the nations affairs has little time for his own, and in the case of some cabinet ministers sudden drop of a third to a half of their incomes would create private. financial problems, and therefore some distraction of mind Ministers are supposed to be of importance to the nations business. and distraction of mind is therefore a thing to be avoided. It Is not at all likely this consideration may prevail"

MAGNATE SAYS END WAR
 IN SIGHT

NEW YORK, Jan. '. - Chairman Gray, of the board of directors of the United States Steel Corporation, in a public statement issued yesterday said that the war was going to end much sooner than the ordinary per son anticipated. He asserted that all Of the belligerents were starving for men and money, and that they would be unable to continue the stupendous struggle much longer, as they would be both physically and financially ex- hausted. MT. Gray declared that at heart all of the nations at war were desirous of war and that their people were sick of the conflict, and that it would not take much longer before properly worded suggestions from neutral countries would be fayorably received by the contestants, and peace negotiations commenced. Gary felt confident that the war would not last beyond the coming summer, if it went that far.
