USE OF GEOLOGICAL
 SURVEY MAPS Is
 STEADILY INCREASING
(From Thursdays Daily Miner.) T, n r...nsnnA nE n..--n-.s..-. H.. Q OO

(trOm Thursdays Daily mlner.)
 The project of covering the 3,000,000 square miles of the United States with accurate topographic surveys was defi- nitely adopted by the federal govern ment in 1882, and the work is even now less than half completed. The standards of accuracy and refinement in topographic surveying have been constantly raised by the topographic engineers, with the view of meeting adequately every use to which the re- sulting maps can be put. The law provides for the sale of ihe United States geological survey maps at the cost of printing, a charge that must be considered merely nominal when it is realized that the cost of an edition of the printed map may be only a small percentage of the cost of surveying the area it represents. The govern ment itself is making a large and in creasing use of these topographic maps, but the expenditure of public funds for these surveys is otherwise fully warranted only as the public uses the maps. To promote this use, the survey has recently given more at tention to the wider distribution of the maps.
 The distribution of a government map is largely problem of publicity, though the necessity of adopting com mercial business methods in handling orders for the maps when once a de- mand is created must not be over looked. In informing the public of the existence of authoritative maps pub lished by the federal government a special effort is now made to reach the communities in each area covered by a map, and to this end every map as issued is brought to the attention of the local and state press, as well as of postmasters and school teachers.
 Other methods of promoting wider distribution involve the cooperation of boy scout masters, school boys and hotel managers, as well as of a large number of bookstores as local agents.
 Within the last year the most help ful publicity has been gained through the voluntary cooperation of several press services and magazines of large circulation, in connection with their policy of bringing the people into closer touch with the work and pubh- cations of the federal government. The publication in one magazine of brief statement regarding the geological surveys maps resulted within month in orders for $50 maps and thousands of inquiries for the state indexes that show the areas already mapped.
 The periods of maximum demand for these government maps are the be- ginning of the vacation period and the beginning of the school year. The larger use of topographic maps in 1915-16, both in the open and in the classroom, is a gratifying index of the popular benefit already resulting from the increase in the work of publicity.

prices as the American farmers and traders, instead of underselling them. Thus they would root out another cause of ill-feeling.
 To accomplish these reforms Wis count Kaneko suggests the formation of a Japanese association at San Francisco to oversee the immigrants. If they persist in their ways they should be transported back to Japan. With true assimilation, the writer be- lieved, the Japanese immigrants could reasonably look forward to the right of citizenship and the right to vote. 'In short", he said, "they will be treated by the white men as their equals.'
 Dr. Kazutami Ukita, the historian and well-kmown editor of the Taiyo Magazine, discusses American ques- tions in leading article on the effect of the Russo-Japanese alliance in the control or domination of the Pacific. He believes that by the alliance Japan has strengthened her position in the Asiatic continent.
 Pointing out that during the war the Pacific Ocean will be exclusively dominated by Japan, Great Britain and the United States, Dr. Ukita says that the United States with it's steady naval expansion will become the great est naval power in the Pacific in the future. He added: "If Japan, Great Britain and the United States CO., operate peacefully in the Pacific, and derive the common benefits accruing therefrom, tranquility will reign in the Pacific Ocean; but if a peaceful CO., operation among these three powers should be found difficult, the Pacific may be turned into a hostile area and the world may witness another great war. At any rate the relations among these three powers in the Pacific are worthy of special study, and we have no doubt that the new Russo-Japanese agreement will have a very important effect thereon"
 But Dr. Uita thinks it is either impossible or unnecessary for any of these powers to monopolize the sea power in the Pacific. It will be sufficient for Japan, in his opinion, to maintain such a navy as will be com potent to protect her from foreign aggression and insure the peace of the Far East.
 Other writers participating in the forum include Professor Shigeo Suye- hiro, of the Imperial University of Kioto; Shintaro Inagah and Ejiro Professor Suyehiro is rather prominent from a trip he made to Mexico when he interviewed President Madero and was heartily welcomed. The other contributors are little known.
 Writing in the Central Review, Dr. Suyehiro expresses gloomy forebod- ings for the future of the so-called American problems. He fears that after the war America with her vast wealth will prove a keen competitor for Japan in the markets of China which may lead to political friction.
 Also, he believes that the immigra- tion question is a vital problem for the Japanese people whose future ex- pansion depends upon the manner in

 The vast number of pretty young maids and matrons who went to the depots to see the veterans off, made a striking picture in contrast to the fickle belief that all sentiment is dead They shool, hands, cheered and kissed those old men who bore the southern cross of honor Extra attaches were on hand to help those who were taxed with extra bag gage or incumbered by old age.

It is just possible that Birmingham may enjoy another huge parade on June to emphasize the fact that the people of Birmingham want preparedness against war.
 The following message from the Chicago Tribune was received in Birmingham yes terday:
 Mayors of 20 or more large cities are wiring joint appeal today throughout United States to hold non-partisan pre- paredness parades on June s Please get in touch with your mayor and ascertain what action is likely to be .akenr"

 T am now member or rae prepared ness movement organized in St. Louis. am satisfied the great majority of people in Birmingham and throughout the state of Alabama are in favor of preparedness, and of taking care of themselves against emergencies that might come up in these troublous times. There will be no trouble in organizing Birmingham. If a parade Is necessary to show how we feel about preparedness why we'll have a parade.
 GEORGE B. WAlsD.''
 Commissioner Ward further stated that he would urge another parade as the re- union affair was a grand success and he would enjoy riding another horse.
