was witnessed last night by approxi-
mately $4,000 people, most OF whom

preceded the presentation of The
Call Of the Allies" an allegory writ
ten and arranged by Mrs. Christian
Hemmick.
The singing was directed by Prof.
Stanfield, aided by the Marine Band
and a trained mixed chorus. Mrs.

ular feature OF the performances.
The Call OF the Allies" was opened
by characters representing Joy, Peace,
Liberty, and Freedom. They were
driven away by characters bearing
hrebrands and representing Brute
Force" The ensuing scenes showed
the various European nations battling
with the dark powers.

MADRID, May 10. - General Wey- Ter, captain general of Cuba during the most critical period of it's transi- tion, is one of the few remaining fig
 uIes of the Spanish-American war
 Practically all the others are gone Admiral Cervera, who was first bot
 tied up in Santiago harbor and then
 made the dash against the fleets of Sampson and Schley; General Linares. who fought the land fight at Santiago against Shafter, Leonard Wood. Roose- welt and the others; and General Blan- co, who was in command at Havana until the evacuation.
 General Weyler, as one of the cap
 tain generals of Spain, continues to be among the notable personalities of public life. His high military rank gives him a permanent place in the senate, and his short, stocky figure is
 seen often about the streets during the sessions. It is his old rank, however, and not his present part in public af- fairs, that gives him his prominence, for a new generation has come on since his time, and the memories of | the war are almost entirely forgotten The captain generals are received
 in royal audience each year. and this
 brought about a remarkable incident
 in the case of General Weyler when | he made his last call of ceremony 1 These calls are attended with great | formality. the king in full uniform
 and the captain generals also in bril- | liant uniform. with a staff of attend ants, General Weylers audience had
 concluded and he was about to with
 draw. As he passed through the outer | court one of the sentinels of the royal

ACTION IN ROAD MEASURE .IS ....
 URGED

owing to the fact that. the Alaska road appropriation was cut out Of the army bill at the last session of con. gross because the question was raised about it being properly an army mea- sure, there has been no provision made for financing the road work in the territory this year. Upon earnest solicitation from all parts of Alaska, various commercial bodies throughout the states have petitioned congress to make an appropriation for this pur- pose in order that the development of Alaska's resources may not be handi- capped.
 The executive committee of the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, in the interests of Alaska roads, passed the following re- solution and forwarded it to congress:
 Whereas, the development of Alaska's rich resources of mineral and food products is a national need and is dependent upon construction of both railroads and wagon roads, as recognized by congress in the authori- zation of the government railroad now being constructed in Alaska and in repeated appropriations since 1905 for the maintenance and construction of wagon roads:
 Therefore, The Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club respectfully urges on congress the necessity of appropri. ating such funds as will provide for comprehensive plan of wagon road construction that will supply the ne. cessary feeders for the government railroad and will open to settlement other vast areas of Alaska rich in min eral and food resources, and of appro. priating such funds as will provide for the proper maintenance of the wagon roads constructed by the government and which have tended greatly to the development of Alaska.
 Adopted by the executive commit tee of the Alaska bureau, Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commer cial Club, April IS, 1917"
