SKETCHES OF THE MEN WHO
 RUN THE U. 8. NAVY
(By United Press)


 WASHINGTON, April IS. - Vice. Admiral Henry T. Mayo, commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet, is of the old school of American sea fighters. He is an officer after the American heart.
 It was Admiral Mayo, who upon his own responsibility, demanded that the Mexican government salute the Ameri- can flag when American marines were arrested and paraded through the streets of Tampico fin the heat of the Mexican embroglio. Mayo acted as he thought right and asked for authority from Washington afterwards - and he got it, with the full backing of the neyy department, even though the flag was never saluted.
 Mayo was the first yice-admiral ap- pointed under the provisions of the 1915 naval bill. His authority in hand. ling the fleet is virtually absolute. The navy department in choosing him for this heavy responsibility is said by naval men to have known the man it

"US FOR SAM"

While all Europe Is a shambles And the whole world is at war, And half the land the sun shines on Is drenehed in human gore When every nation counts the men It knows are tried and true We send this message to you Sam, Alaska stands with you" You never treated us quite right. You grabbed away our coal And reserved sii OUT fire weed And what we used we stole. You soaked us on our cable tolls But we don't give a damn, At twenty-eight cents per word we say We're with you, Uncle Sam. You squandered untold millions On the lousy Philippines. But you always made Alaskans Go and rustic for their beans. Your Black and Tan possessions While they cost you quite a few Can never be depended on, But, we'd go to hell for you. We're quite unsued to luxuries, We've always played alone, When we asked for help to build our
 trails
 You handed us a stone
 You four-flushed on the railroad, But we don't give a damn,
 If they monkey with the Eagle, We're with you, Uncle Sam.
 You gave us leave to make some laws | Then tied our hands behind. This gift to us was just the same As pictures to the blind.
 Your laws all have a joker
 Made to catch the sourdough, And it's hard to beat your game, Sam When it's framed up down below.
 We've always been the dumping
 ground
 For your political misfits,
 But, Sam, If you're in trouble, We're willing to cry quits" We've never had an even break,
 But we don't care a damn,
 If the Lion growls, remember this, We're with you, Uncle Sam.
 We're used to meeting troubles, | And if you put us to the test,
 You'll find Alaska loves you, Sam, Far better than the rest. But, Sam, when this is over AS morning follows night,
 Pray give us your attention And set some matters right. We need some decent cable rates,
 We need some decent mails,
 We need some decent coast lights. | And we need some decent trails.
 You've given these to all the rest, But we don't care a damn,
 If it's full grown men you're needin', We're with you, Uncle Sam. Pat O'COnnor, Seward

YOSEMITE

Yosemite, Cal, Aug. %. The
Yosemite valley, as viewed from Gla-
cier point. is, in he opinion of Wis.,
count X. Ishii, ambassador extraordi-
nary and plenipotentiary, "the most
beautiful sight in the world"
Members Of a Japanese mission now
at Washington were taken to Yosem-
ite National Park on their way east
The viscount, who bids fair to become
famous automatically for his silences,
was all enthusiasm.
"In Japan it is said, He who has not
seen Yosemite, has not seen Amer.
ica,'" he declared. 81 find that this
is true"
The ambassador, on his tour of the
valley picked out an unnamed pinnacle
with grotesque head and gave it the
name of "totem-pole rock" which Hor-
ace Marden Albright, acting superin-
tendent of national parks said would
be recognized as the crag's official
name.
