May 25.-The Japanese admiralty announced tonight that a fleet of Japanese warships of all classes is now engaged in patroling the waters of the south Pacific ocean in search Of German submarines or raiders. It Is also stated that Japanese small craft are a3w cooperating with vessels of like status in expressing the ravages of German and Austrian subma. rines in the Mediterranean sea.
 The announcement regarding the presence of Japanese war ships in the South Pacific Is taken to mean that German raid CTS are operating in those wa. ters. although such a statement was not issued by the admiralty. IL is believed, however, that that is the reason for the sending of Japanese warships to the South Pacific. semi official statement being to the effect that a Ger man raider base is believed 10 have been established on one of the numerous islands in those waters.

Women are universally annoyed by having buttons torn from their moor ings in laundering clothes. This trouble is easily obviated as fol- lows: Work buttonholes exactly op- posite each other in both hens oi garment. Instead of sewing the bot tons to the garment, sew them to tape, being careful 10 have the dis tances between buttons correspond to the distances between buttonhOi"s. Fasten the buttons through the but tonholes of the lower hem and pin each end of the tape with small safety pin to the hem of the gar ment to prevent the last button from slipping out" and becoming useless. When the clothes are to be washed. remove the buttons and launder the tape at home. The extra time ana trouble taken in making the double row of buttonholes is repaid by avoiding the loss of buttons and use less wear and tear on the garment.

In putting lace insertion into tub dresses in such way as to bear strain. as in attaching flounce to skirt, or in the yoke of waist. cut strips of boobinette a little wider than the insertion, and place 1t under the lace. This strengthens the lace without spelling it's beauty. and adds much to the wearing quality of the gowns. If all the lace yokes placed in under garments are given net lining they not only wear longer, but fit better.

MOTOR BOAT RACES.

Very little is known locally con corning what can be done in the matter of a motor boat race. It is well known fact that there are several boats owned locally that would undoubtedly enter the race, but whether or not others could be induced to come in has not been learned. It is believed however. that the Engineering commission launch Sunbeam, understood to be one of the fastest craft on the river. will be entered. and it is thought probable that a launch or two may come to Fairbanks from Tanana tot the contest.
 It is expected that the executive board of the Commercial club will get busy in a few days on the com mittees which will have charge Of the celebration When the commit tees are named 1t is expected that complete plans for the celebration, as far as they have been fOrmulat- ed. will be announced.

THE TUG OF WAR.

It is expected that the tug Of wal of the celebration Heretofore it has been hard to get up a tug of war contest for the reason that Bloom Brothers team, of Olnes and Chata' nika, so far overshadowed every oth, CT aggregation that no other team wanted to go up against them. Last year, however Herman Bloom was pulled" for the first time in eighteen contests, his team going down to defeat before an aggrega ton of Russians.
 The defeat of the Blooms last year, it is believed, will have the effect of inspiring others to enter the game. For this reason it Is thought that good teams can be raised from among the soldiers al Fort Gibbon, from the ranks of the Engineering commission employees at Nenana and from among the min CTS of Brooks. It is probable tha' teams from various of the loca creek towns will also be entered No announcement of the prizes tha will be hung up for this and othel events has yet been made, but i is thought that 1t will be a substan tial one in the matter of the tut of war. as that event is to be played up as the big drawing card of th'

This method was tried when flour happened to be short. and it proved not only successful, but so superior to the ordinary that bread crumbs were always added to the flour afterwards.

 The Fairbanks band will. of course. furnish music for the occasion In the invitation 10 the Fort Gibbon contingent Of the army, however, an invita- ton for the Fort Gibbon band to come here on the Fourth of July has been extended and it is hoped the musical organization will take advantage Of the fact. It. Is also hoped that Captain Samuel E. Me Intyre, the commanding officer of the post. will see lit to bring a squad of his best trained men to Fairbanks in order that those who are drilling here at the present time may see d regularly organized unit of the United States army at work. This, in itself, it is thought, would have the effect of greatly assisting in the drilling.
 If delegations from the aforemen, toned places come to Fairbanks for the Fourth Of July celebration, all are expected to take part in the sports which will be arranged for their benefit. No details of the ar rangements for the sports have yet been announced, but it is certain that the three big features will be the baseball games, the motor boat ha nf

 There has been considera ble talk lately of organizing baseball league in the interior and calling it the Tanana league. This league would consist ot teams from Fort Gibbon. Brooks. Nenana and Fair banks. All are sufficiently near to each other for the members of the teams to spend several days each summer in visiting the various towns for at least one or two days, and it is therefore hoped that the com ing fathering of the baseball teams of the interior, if those from the other towns come. as is anticipated, will be the means of inaugurating such an organizat ton as an Interior Alaska baseball league. And it is d we'll known fact that i'll practi- cally all of the towns there are men enough 10 get up unusually good baseball teams.
