 BY A SHADE
Personal Plea to Adiutant General Won Cause for Territory of
 Alaska

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 20, (By MaiO-Had not Delegate Charles A. Sulzer, of Alaska, discovered an omis- sion in the circular issued by the War Department on June 4, announcing the second series of training cafpS for of ficerS, the territory of Alaska would have been denied the privilege of hay ing any of her sons wear shoulder straps in Uncle Sam'S new armies. The circular in question made appor- tionmentS for all of the States of the Union, on the basis of population Michigan got 4S2; Washington got 240; Oregon got 13O; Arizona got 40, and so on. But Alaska was left out.
 Delegate Sulzer took up the matter immediately with the Adjutant Gen eral. He was informed that the Com manding General of the Western De- partment had the matter in hand. The Commanding General of the Western Department replied to Sulzer'S tele- graphic inquiries that a special order from the Adjutant General would be necessary. Sulzer again called on the Adjutant General and pleaded Alas ka'S cause. He pointed out that the Alaskan patriot would make a better officer and soldier than his Eastern brother and cited as an instance the case of Captain Dan Pullen, of Skag- way, who went to West Point from Alaska and graduated at the head of a class of men picked from all parts of the United States.
 The Adjutant General was convinced by the time Mir. Sulzer left and on June 19 the ormal order was issued allotting twenty places to AlaSkanS in the second officers reserve training camp at the Presidio, Cal. Nevada, with a greater population than Alaska, was allotted but sixteen men.

Last Saturday morning some one
killed two swans that were swimming
on the river opposite the coal tipple
in Marlinton, says the Marlinton Jour-
nal. The two were killed with one
shot, the miscreant evidently waiting
until the birds. were in direct range
of his rifle. Both were shot through
the neck. The swans were on the
river here for several days, and a
number OF persons tried their marks
manship on them. Deputy Game War
den Pat Simmons took up the case and
learned the names Of all who took a
part in the shooting and also the name
of the person who did the killing, but
learning that the swans belonged. to
the White Sulphur Springs Co. and
were not wild birds, he could do moth
ing under the game laws to bring the
parties to trial. 1t was learned the
birds escaped from their place OF con-
finement several weeks ago and were
evidently on their way north when
they met their death.

NO AUTOMATIC ARMY
WANTED BY PERSHING
u. S. Force Should Be One
Of Thinkers.

Paris, Aug. S.-Major General Per
shing, commander OF the American ex
petition in France said it was highly
essential that the men in America s
cOnscript army should be in excellent
physical condition. we'll disciplined
and capable of individual action.
He added that the army organization
must be built up from the bottom, ea~l
man and officer devoting all his ener
gies TO the work. The general said:
Our men must be in good physica
condition, keeping their morals clear
and thereby capable OF meeting the
trying conditions of modern warfare
The men must learn to obey orders
promptly, implicitly and willingly. but
not necessarily automatically.
II object to the word automatic be
cause we do not want machine made
men. Men with individuality, meI
fully capable and ready to assume
command of units. should their officers
be killed or incapacitated as sometime:
happens in trench warfare.
The men must be made to realiz,
that war is not sport or play, but seri
GUS work demanding the utmost ener
gy and attention TO insure success"
The general was optimistic and con
fident that Americas army would give
an excellent account OF itself ant
would come mp to the expectations o.
tho other entente allies deSDitp the
tremendous amount of work necessary
before active American participation
in trench warfare was possible.
