Washington, May 20.-FOrmal an
nouncement of the government poll

Zeppelins, was made today by the
Council of National Defense, through
Howard E. Coffin, member of the coun-
ellis Advisory Commission and head
of the Aircraft Production Board, re-
Gently created.
The objective aimed at for the first
year, according to Mr.. Coffin, is the
production of a minimum of $500 of
training and battle airplanes, the ed
ucation of from 5000 to 5000 aviators
and the doubling or more of the pros
ducing capacity during the second
year.

$61.S5, ration allowance of $1095O
and per cent for foreign service ($237.-
co., amounting in all to 81 ,60295. The
pay of a second lieutenant is $1,700
If you increase the sergeants pay SIS
per month he will receive on foreign
service a total Of 81 $685. Or 800
more than the second lieutenant who
commands him
At the time Of the last session We
had 112,000 enlisted men in the
army. An increase in base of pay
of S. would mean an increase of ST.
127,140. An increase of SIS would
mean $1690.710. Figuring increas-
ed pay for non-commissioned Off
ers under the eonferees' plan means
$1,405,961 for an army of 10000;
figuring this at SIS means S2,312,-
295. 1t would cost 5000 600 extra for
every 10000 men in the army if you
adopt this increase

obtaining wisdom. He clearly brought
out the fact that all the wisdom OBJ
tanned was, in the end of no value if
used wholly for selfish purposes. That
the one great aim and purpose of God
in creating each of us was that we
might make the world better by having
lived in it. He exhorted the gradu-
ates to find the place in life for which
they were suited and fill that place to
the very best of their ability
So many failures in life, he declared
were due to ambitious parents insist
ing that their children fill position
for which God never intended them.

THE REASON WHY.

The reason why the Democratic machine of Aa$sa is opposed to Governor Strong's reap IoineuenC has leaked out. The governor hung himself when he and Davidson declared Wicker shan elected delegate 0f Alaska Because his conscience dictated that he should put principle above party. he iS to be kicked out of office. At leaS- that is the determination of the machine He is accused of having refused to abide by the opinion of the Attorney General whose opinion the members Of the canyassing board requested.
 Now let Us see: Supposing we should go to friend for advice in business matter: and sup posing that our friend would advise uS contrary to our own opinion. we should not hold ourSelf obliged to follow that friends advice. As mat ter Of fact we would likely follow out our own opinion. And that is probably what Governor Strong did in this instance.
 According to the law applicable to the case. there is no doubt that Sulzer was elected The court upheld the opinion e the attorney General 1T egsrg respect and there < TO doubt either that both the court and the attorney interpreted me tzr correctly yer we fail to see how the gov =rra~ committed g mortal sin by disregarding the law in an endeayor to protect the voters. The court n,ay decide that a man must serve, say five years in prison. Eet the governor thru sympathy or otherwise can pardon that man even before he commences to serve his sentence. Obviously the governor in deciding for Wick" committed no moral sin for which he deserves c9 te punished. especially when the man against whom ae s..red has teen given by tne court that which he was after. The governor did his duty according -9 the dictate ot his own conscience and | re made mistake i should not be held ac-a:~S- him Governor S-ro~cr has made one 0r the best i not the best. governors the territory r@- -=-r had Give he Devil his duer is ap- rlcab.e here.
