ARCHAEOLOGlSTS OF
STATE DESIRE TO
EXPLORE ITS RUINS

At the museum of the University of
Arizona recently special committee of
the archaeological Society of Arizona
met for the purpose of drafting a re-
quest to the secretary Of the interior
requesting that no more permits be
granted for excavating in the ruins of
Arizona other than those granted to
the University of Arizona and the
United States Bureau of Ethnology.
The committee was composed Of
Prof. Byron Cummings, Chas. P. Solo
mon, Thos. K. Marshall, John S. Bay
less, DR.. 1. J. Butler, President R. B.
Won Kleinsmid, Prof. A. o. Neal, Bis
hop Atwood, E. C. Clark and George
Babbitt. They drew up the following
request, copies Of which were sent to
the secretary of the interior and SEN
ators and representatives from Ari-
zona:
"Sinee the university has earnestly
taken hold of the development of mu-
seums in giving courses in anthropo-
logy and archaeology, and has in CO.
operation with the Arizona Archeo-
logy Society taken up the systematic
field work in the exploration and study
of the prehistoric culture of the state,
and proposes to continue that work
through succeeding year, we, the un-
dersigned, would respectfully suggest
that the remaining ruins in the state
be reserved for the investigation Of
the U. S. Bureau of Ethnology and the
University of Arizona.
"Many of the best ruins have been
already partially destroyed and the
contents carried away to grace mu-
scum collections in other countries and
other parts of the United States. The
best of these ruins must be repaired
and preserved. This can be effective
ly done only by the hearty coopera-
tion of the United States government
and the government and people of
Arizona. By restoring and protecting
the best of the ruins now surviving,
and by keeping the rest of their arts
and industries here where they were
produced, typical prehistoric homes
and evidences of their social and re-
ligious customs may be saved for a
thorough study of these first inhabit-
ants of the state.
"In view of the fact that the best
of Arizona's prehistoric teasures
have already been moved elsewhere,
and in view of the fact that we must
have the hearty cooperation of the
people of the state if the ruins and
relics are to be preserved for the in
struction and enjoyment of the peo-
pie of the whole country, is it not fit
ting that permits to excayate and re-
move material henceforth be confined
to the Investigators connected with
the Bureau of EthnolOgy and the Uni
versity of Arizona
Professor Cummings seemed very
anxious over the matter and said: 81
hope that the secretary of the interior
will grant US this request, as it is all
important. Last year permits were
granted to the American Museum of
New York and the Peabody Institute
of Cambridge.

SHIPPING.

The American shipping boom con-
tinues to grow in volume as the
worlds shipping is depleted by the
war. Experts say that nearly 10 per
Gent of all the nations merchant ton
mage has been destroyed, and the rate
of destruction is increasing. Great
Britain has lost at least one-eighth OF
her merchantmen. British shipbuild-
lers have made great efforts to replace
their losses, but not more than two
thirds of the sunken ships have been
made good A Norwegian shipbuider
says that there is at least three years
work in sight for all the shipyards in
the world merely in restoring the war
losses.
4 Our own yards gain an ever increas
ing share In this boom. Never in the
history OF the industry has there been
such a stimulus to construction. 1t is
announced that vessels with a capa-
city of 1,250,QGG tons will be launched
by American builders during the pres.
ent year And the greater part OF
them are expected to fly the Ameri-
can flag.
The activity is by no means con
dped to the seaboard. The oceanic
traffic and the shipyards that minister
to 1t have drawn attention from il.
land navigation. Shipping ON the
Great Lakes has reached tremendous
volume and Importance. During the
1916 season there were more than a.
OO0,0Go tons Of freight carried through
the 500 canals, far greater vol.
ume than that Of the Suez, Panama.
KieL Manchester and all other great
canals put together And siipbuild-
ing on the Lakes has naturally devel-
oped In proportion, to meet the press
Ing demand for new vessels.
There's been more money spent in
building ships lately than in making
munitions. And it's much cleaner and
more useful industry. The world can't
have too many ships.

Exodus Leads Major Green to
Act Lest They Attempt to
Evade Draft

No more Filipinos are to be allowed
to go to San Francisco from Honolulu
until after the Hawaii draft quota is
drawn. Major Francis E. Green made
this statement this morning, after or.
dering permits issued to six Filipino
plantation laborers who wanted to. go
to San Francisco. =
NO more Fiipinos to go to San
Francisco" said Major Green, ad-
dressing the leader of the party. "You
tell all your friends, no more Filipi-
nos go to San Francisco from Homo
lul while war lasts. Remember, too,
you can't get away from the draft in
San Francisco. An officer knows all
about you all the time"
Major Green said that there has
been a regular exodus of Filipinos
from the islands, and the numbers
who want to go have increased great.
ly since the new bonus was declared
by the plantations for the laborers.
'"They want to go to San Francisco
to spend their money" said the major
ALSO, they think that by going to
San Francisco they will escape the
draft. OF course they will not be able
to do this, but, their going simply
puts the government to the expense
Of keeping tab on them in San Fran
cisco, and of bringing them back if
they should be called to the service.
Not only Filipinos but Spaniards, too,
have been conspicuous around immi.
grafton quarters lately trying to get
permits to leave the islands. 1t is go.
ing to stop; in fact, it has stopped
