BECAUSE,
 U. $. ENTERS WAR

ROME, Sept.-The entrance of the United States into the war as an ally of Italy was the indirect cause of the resignation of minister of ma rine Triangi and the nomination in his stead of Admiral Del Bono.
 During the recent secret session of parliament, Minister Triangi was called upon, as is customary, to an swer questions regarding the condi tion of his department. One of these was:
 What help will the United States give us presently"
 He answered with seamanlike frankness that it would be long time before the United States could be of any great service, since she was yet only preparing for war. His response was attacked by the oppo- sition to the ministry, and Triangi was so chagrined that he never at tempted any more speeches during the session.

MANY SCHEMES PROPOSED TO
 BEAT DIVERS

Associated Press Correspondence
 ROME, Sept-Numerou extraordi- nary inventions to undo the subma- rine have been submitted to the minister of marine of Italy, and to the various naval attaches here, par ticularly that of the United States. One of these inventions modestly in wolves the damming up of the subma- rines and forcing them into shal- low shore waters, where they may be caught like fish. This inventions calls for an immense steel net 30 or 40 miles long and 40 feet deep.
 Another original plan was submit ted to the United States naval at tache providing for the building Of dn unsuitable ship of solid wood. The inventor suggested that it be IOHtu Dy duOIueI StedLIoAiP, Uol ht didn't explain how the other ship would escape. Nor did he explain how a solid wood ship could carry freight and passengers.
 There seems to be no means of discouraging the brilliant minds o1 fresh water sailors and land tngin eers which evolve these schemes. As a matter of duty and precau- ton, all corners have their schemes examined, but when informed that they are "at present unadapted to the needs of the navy" they go on to the next naval office, generally winding up at that of the United States. The United States IS d country that knows a bright plan when presented and has the money and e1ergy to develop il" they argue.
 Oue plan involved the drying up of the Mediterranean by allowing It's waters to slip into the Sahara desert for few days until the 3ne- my submarines were all captured, when the water would again b. luln- d lack to it's original place This plan is Lot particularly original, 1t being an imitation of the great en- gineeIing pro,ect for watering the Sahara desert.
 One day two of these inventors met in d naval office One vas busy explaining how to protect dread naughts by an immense steel net, the net having on it's edge fringe of floating bombs which when they came into contact with the subma- rine's projectile would create coun- ter explosion and blow it up.
 Tt won't do" explained the naval officer. For one thing, your fringe would be sucked down and get en- tangled in the ships propellor.'
 T can overcome that objection, cried the other inventor. ''I have invented a ship that runs without a propellor."

LAST BOAT ID
 LEAVE HERE ON
 SEPTEMBER 3O

That the last scheduled sailing from Fairbanks of the American-Yu, kon Navigation company for White horse during the open season of 1917 will be on September 30, was the St atemcnt made yesterday by James {. Fairborn, general agent of the company, when interrogated regard ing the matter. IL is possible, how ever. that there will be another sail. ing after that date, but it is not defi- niteIy scheduled.
 The boat sailing of the thirtieth of the month will be the steamer Yu- kon, the flagship of the A-Y. N fleet. She will go through to White horse direct, where she will go into winter quarters along with her sister ship, the Alaska which is due here within the next few days on its last trip of the season.
 The steamer Panama, too, will win ter at Whitehorse It will be the boat which will start up the Yukon after the first of the month. Wheth- CT the Panama will sail from Fair banks or from Panama yet remains to be determined
 Not counting the unscheduled trip of the Panama, there will therefore be three more salings for White horse direct from Fairbanks. They will be the Canadian, sailing the last of this week; the Alaska, sailing about the middle of next week, and the Yukon, sailing on the thirtieth
 The Yukon, Alaska and Panama, of the boats which ply Panama river waters, will be the only ones that will winter at Whitehorse, with the exception of the Canadian and Sel kirk, Canadian bottom boats. The Washburn will winter at lower La Berge and will be the first boat to sail for lower Yukon and Tanana river points after the opening of navigation next spring. There will be other White Pass boats winter ing there, however, which will bring down full cargoes of over the-lake freight for transfer to the steamers Schwatka and Seattle No. 8, which are to go into winter quarters at Dawson. It is possible that both of the last named steamers will be sailed from Fairbanks for Dawson direct before the close of navigation
 The steamers Reliance and Alice will go on the ways here for the winter and will be ready next spring to make the first trips down the Panama from Fairbanks. All of the big Yukon river packets of the A.-Y N. Co.,, including the Susie, Sarah Louise and Herman, will winter at St. Michael

THOSE DRAWN

 OWN INTERESTS

On the recent mail from the Out. |s.do the district attorneys office was in receipt Of d letter from the de parrment oi justice relative 10 prep arations which are being made to i handle cases wherein men drawn for military service under the conscrip- ton law fail 10 make their where abouts known. No drawing has yet taken place in Alaska, but a DOT tion ol the contents of the letter Is published by the district attorney as warning to those who might consider evading the drawing when it comes up, It is as follows:
 l. will be of great value in SC curing prompt response to the not ices sent out by the local boards
 for you to give the widest publicIty through the press and otherwise, to 1 the following information. It has been determined by the provost marshal general that persons who fail to ap- pear for their physical examination after having received their notices 10 do 50 from the local boards, by such failure, waive their right to physical examination and are accept cd by the board without examina- ton. Their names will be certified to the district boards as chosen by the local boards for the national army If they do not then appear to claim eXempuons, they will waive thereby the right to such eXemp tions as they might have claimed, and their names will be certified by the district boards to the adjutant generals of their respective states as persons for the national army. The adjutant general will then mall them a notice to report for duty al specified time and place, and such notices will be given publicity ac- cording to the regulations of the conscription act. Such persons then become subject to the military au- thorities at the time designated by the adjutant general for them to report Should they fail to comply with this notice, they become desert CTS from the army, and will be treat ed as such by the military authori- ties.
 It is, therefore, matter of vital concern not so much to the govern ment as to the persons themselves to see that they give the correct ad- dress for their notices to be mailed to them. Should they fail to comply with these notices after receiving l them, they become automatically drafted without regard to physical examination or to exemption or dis charge.
 Where persons are known to be Wilfully refusing to comply with the requests of the local board and are so conducting themselves as to be menace to the proper enforcement of the conscription act, and their whereabouts are known they should be detained in jail on complaints charging violations of section six of the conscription act until the | time when they are ordered by the adjutant general to report for duty in the national army. They should, at that date, be turned over to the military authorities. No prosecution need be had as it will be unneces- sarily expensive and little is to be | gained therefrom.
 Very truly yours,
 A. B. Bielaski Chief
