ALASKA FETE |S EXPLOITED BY
 CARPENTER

Information regarding the arrivals and departures of ships at and from ports in Alaska will not be given out at the cable office as heretofore, in structions to this effect having been received from the secretary of war.
 This order is in accordance with an agreement entered into between the war and navy departments and the heads of the various press asso- citations short time ago, that the press of the country would refrain from publishing information, rumors or reports tending to disclose the mill tary or naval policies of the United States" The Associated Press volun- tarily agreed to observe the regula- tions and to use their influence to have the newspapers throughout the country observe them.
 Based upon this agreement the war and navy departments have prepared set of regulations covering the in- formation sought to be suppressed among which are the following:
 Departure of merchant vessels should not be mentioned and it is desired that the port of arrival be omitted.
 Assignment of movement, whether as groups or individuals of officers and men of the military and naval es- tablishments.
 Transportation of mails, supplies or munitions"
 AS a result of these regulations of ficers and men of the Signal Corps are instructed to give out no infor- nation covered by these regulations, which includes the movement of mer- chant vessels.

TIMES CORDOvA ALASKA MONDAY APRIL 16 1917
MOVE EMENTS OF SHIPS NUT bE
 REPORTED

Appearing last Sunday in many of the leading papers of the country with a combined circulation of more than 5,000000 readers, was three-quarter page article by Frank c. Carpenter, descriptive of Alaska's semi-centennial celebrations to be held in the north ern towns and the tour being arranged by the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Conner cial Club to participate in these cele- brations.
 After describing in most interest ing manner the principal features of interest in the different localities, Mr. Carpenter says
 This celebration of an event of national importance will be held in a unique manner, each town featuring the industries and resources of it's To- cality, making it in effect an All-Alas- ka celebration. The participating party Is being organized by the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club, and will be personally conducted by vet eran "sourdough." The towns are planning to hold celebrations of from one to three days duration.
 In closing, MT. Carpenter says
 This theory gives but little idea of the wonders of the Alaska expedition. In addition to the industrial features will be the scenic grandeur of the inside passage, surpassing that of the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence, the Inland Sea of Japan and the fiords of Norway. There will be the won ders of the Yukon, the following from it's source to its mouth of one of the mightiest rivers of our continent, go- ing through a wilderness which. in most places, is an untouched and un- described as was the James river and the Chesapeake bay before Captain John Smith came into Hampton Roads. It will include the sight of mountains as beautiful as any in Switzerland, and the exploration of glaciers far greater than any in the Alps and equalled only by those of Greenland and Antartica. In both excursions the ships will sail right under the great river of ice which breaks out into the sea at Taku; and at Cordova the cars take the travellers to two glac- iers, each of which is as high as the dome of the capitol at Washington. There will also be the fascination of the Eskimos and the Indians, of see ing game, large and small, in its na- tive wilds, of the wonders of the mid night sun and of the new world of vegetation and sky and sea which is peculiar to the Far North.

CRUISER COULD BLOW UP OUR
 COMMERC

Since war has been declared and preparedness for military assaults on the territory of the United States proper is engaging much attention it may not be improper to call attention to the modest needs of Alaska and the fact that the ports of this terri tory are without defense of any kind. A hostile cruiser could land marines without opposition at any town on the Alaska coast and burn it and de- stroy commerce between Alaska and the states exceeding $110,000,000 in 1916, and which promises to exceed that figure each year for an indefinite time to come.
 Alaskan ports, almost without ex- ception could be made impregnable at a minimum cost as military and naval expenditures run ordinarily. This is especially true of Seward and Anchor age, the two water terminals of the government syste moi railroads, points at which an assault at present would completely paralyze and largely de- stroy the chief industries of Alaska. Moreover, a small force of invaders could not only take the two terminals without opposition, but could quickly entrench themselves so that their sub sequent disdoldgement could be effect ed only at heavy cost in men and ma terial
 Seward, the headquarters of rail road activities, is located on Resurrec- tion bay, deep sheet of water far beyond gunshot from the open sea, and reached by a narrow, winding channel between lofty elevations, yer itable Gibraltars, one on either side. A few guns commanding the channel would make the place impregnable to the combined fleets of the world.
 To get within gunshot of Anchorage a warship would first have to pass within easy range of Fire island, a point leading itself to easy defense almost as readily as the Resurrection bay entrance.
 With Seward and Anchorage pro perly defended, the government rail ways and the great Matanuska coal fields would be safe. A direct attack on these great properties by landing would be impossible because of inter- vening impossible glaciers, while a flank attack could be made only after crossing mountain ranges which would make Hannibals descent upon Rome seem easy by comparison. - New York World.

SILK STOCKINGS AC TIVE IN
 ELECTIONS

TRINIDAD, Colo, April 16 - Silk stockings don't have anything to do with a lady's ability to cast her ballot intelligently, say the female ballotists of this town. And they are on the warpath today because some mere male person made disparaging re- marks about "women with silk stock ings and high-heeled shoes voting on questions that affect the common peo- ple." The women assert that "the womanhood of the town has been openly discredited," and they promise retaliation at the next election.
