WE HAVE THE GOODS

Get the tourists. Capitalize your
scenery. Switzerland has done it
and has made success and now
Spain is following her example.
Alaska has them both beat"
This was the advice given Alas
kans by E. C. Mccormick. San
Francisco, vice-president of the
Southern Pacific Railroad during a
brief stop at Cordova recently, on
his return trip to the States. Mr..
Mccormick headed a federal com
mission sent North by the depart
ment of the interior to study the
territory's resources and possibilities
alaska is not the 'saw-toothed
range of mountains with people who
lie about the land as has SO often
been reported" Mr.. Mccormick de-
clared The mountains are here
but they are so wonderful that you
don't have to lie about them"
Mr.. Mccormick said he hoped to
return North next year and bring
with MIN Secretary of the Interior
Franklin X. Lane.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS

The Great Power Idea" as rep
resented by foreign offices. must be
done away with if the proposed
League of Nations is to be a sue
cess, declared H. C Wells, the novel
list and publicist, in an address de-
livered recently at London before a
large audience at the American
Officers club.
A League of Nations. he said, was
in accord with human nature and
the spirit of nationality. and it was
not opposed even to what Americans
would call the king business" But
the Great Power idea would have to
be exercised if mankind was not to
go down in bloodshed and ruin.
The Great Power idea. he ex-
planned, was that each state was in
conflict with all other states, and it
absolutely opposed the idea if the
common welfare of man.
ut was only little more active
in Berlin" he asserted, ethan in the
other capitals of Europe. Every
foreign office and admiralty has
been organized to carry out the
Great Power dreams.

by a subterfuge. He took up the
matter with F. D. Browne, who
sent a telegram to the commanding
officer at Fort Gibbon, advising him
of the facts of the case and request
ing that Fitzwiliams be returned
to undergo quarantine.
Lineman Morriss of the local Sig
nal Corps detachment who took Fitz-
william down as far as Mimic, reach
ed the quarantine station at about
6 p. m. on the 21st and was prompt
~ placed in quarantine. He will be
held at the quarantine station for
the full quarantine period pre-
scribed by the local Board of Health,
while Fitzwilliams is being held
temporarily at Tolovana. pending
the decision of the local Board of
Health, as to whether or not he will
be brought back to the quarantine
station.
The pass issued by the Board of
Health to the Signal Corps has now
been withdrawn, and the local de-
tachment have been notified that
passes will be issued to them when
ever they need it. The reason for
the withdrawal of the blank pass
is so that when passes are issued
the names of those in whose favor
the passes are issued can be men
toned and confusion and misunder-
standings avoided in the future. 1t
will also make it possible for the
Board of Health to keep an accu-
rate record of passes issued during
the period of quarantine for sta
tistical purposes.
1t is felt by the members of the
Health Board that there has been
Ia misunderstanding on the part of
the Signal Corps of the purposes
of the quara ,tine; that they assume
the attitude that the men of that
service should be given free per-
mission to go and come at will, even
though they come in contact with
travel on the trail.
The local Board of Health and
F. D. Browne, engineer in charge,
wish to enforce very strict quaran-
tine during the prevalence of the
influenza epidemic and are not will
ing to relax the rigid measures
adopted. Mr.. Browne stated that
the men of the Signal Corps will
always be given permission to go

The greatest thing a human soul
ever does in this world is to see
something and tell what 1t saw in a
plain way. Hundreds of peope can
talk for one who can think, but
thousands can think for one who
can see. To see clearly is poetry,

Studio

The Modernists in Chinese Art is an
interesting exhibit Of paintings on
paper shown by Mrs. Francis Ays-
cough at the studio OF Mrs. IL. Z.
Whitney, s West Eighth Street.
These great scrolls reach from cell
ing to floor and show wonderful dec
orative qualities, only achieved by the
mastery OF elimination. Flying ducks.
swaying reeds, snowy mountainous,
apple blossoms, goidishes are sug-
gested by the slightest OF brush
strokes. Exquisite delicacy OF color
ing and virility of touch characterize
the paintings, the swift drop OF a
great bird being Il masterpiece OF auG-
Gsstion.
The slightest of motives inspires the
decorations. A squirrel under q branch
of tender green leaves is named The
Joy of Life and beautiful panel OF
many -colored birds symbolizcs The
Cardinal Relations OF Mankind.'
Mrs. Ayscough. who lives in China
