RIGGS INSPECTS
 PIONEERS HOME

SITKA. Alaska, Dec. ?. - Alaska s aged and disabled pioneers-me men who helped to blaze the first trails across the golden northland, always seeking but seldom finding their elusive Eldor- ado-are cared for at the Alaska Pic neers' home at Sitka, the first capital of the Territory. At present there are sixty-ive old "sourdoughs" at the home.
 Governor Thos. Riggs, Jr.. of Alaska, recently spent several days inspect ing the home. He was at the home during most of his visit here. he took several meals with the men and talked with both the pioneers and employees. These old pioneers who have spent their lives coming and going as they wished, want few rules, so, as a re- suit, very few restrictions arc placed on their movements.
 Buildings used by the home once were barracks occupied by the United States marines before 1911 when a marine station was located here. In 1913 the buildings were turned over by the navy department to the depart ment of the interior, which has charge of the government of the Territory.

 ALARGE WIRELESSPLANT.

NOME, Dec. 2.-Eskimo wireless operators at Noorvik, a native village north of here, soon will be able to catch messages sent from as far away as San Francisco, 1t is expected.
 Delbert Replogle, government teacher at the Noorvik native school, who recently fitted the village with an electric light system and small wireless plant, arrived here recently with larger wireless equipment.
 The new machines will be installed at NoOrvik in the near future Ac- cording to Replogle, Noorvik then will be able to chatter" with stations in nearly every part of Alaska and listen to points far to the south and east.
 Nooryik is the only village in the Eskimo country with electric lights. With the installation of the new wireless. the envy of the other will lages will increase. Eskmos have been taught to operate both the wire less and the electric light systems.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2.-Public Improvements consisting of l25 sep arate projects, and involving expendi- lures totaling $11.000,0OO. will be be- gun in the near future in Los An. geles, when peace completes the lift ing of the ban placed on these i'm provemeats by the capital issues com mittee of the Federal Reserve bank. Some of these proposed improve ments have been hanging fire for two years, but the majority were out lined during the past six months and have been held in abeyance in ac- cordance with the request of the cap ital issues committee that bond is- sues be not floated during the period of the war
 The request of the committee was based on two reasons-the first, to conserve labor; the second to con serve materials. But with actual peace not far of and a general sta bilizing of the labor and material mar ket imminent, city officials here are planning to begin work on the various projects soon.
 Street work will comprise the great est single expenditure of the Sl1 ,00O,- 900 total. projects proposed in street grading. widening and paving amount ing to $3.346,900. Necessary improve ments at the San Pedro harbor will cost in the neighbOrhood of 8 ,250 ,000., according to the estimates of city en- gineers. The bureau of power and light plans expenditures of more than 1,00O,0O0 in improving and enlarging municipal power stations and advanC ing service Sewer work, it Is esti- mated, will amount to more than $500, 900. and the flood control plan. which will divert flood waters to the ocean and remove the menace to ranch lands, calls for the expenditure of al most s3,0000Oo.
 Improvements at the harbor ac cording to C. H Watson, traffic man ager, include the construction of d drydOck at the plant of the Los An geles Shipbuilding and Drydock Com pany, to cost $l,250.OOO; widening of trc main channel $S75.OOO; dredging of the west and east basins, $630 000.
 In the development and improve ment of the city's power and lighting system, 1,2350O0 will be required, ac cording to Howard Robertson of the public service commission. This will be spent in the construction of a new power plant, -saif>~n as No. g." in San Francisquito canyon, and in the con- struction of reservoirs and the laying of an intricate system of fumes and pipe lines at several points along the Los Angeles aqueduct, where water is diverted for the purpose of generating electrical energy.

Believe Germans
Will Rule World

London, June 2o.--(Correspondence
of The Associated Press.)-Despite
their four years of fighting, some OF
the German prisoners Of war still are
obsessed by the German idea OF con-
quering the world. That unadulterated
Prussianism still lexists in the German
ranks is the conclusion OF one British
officer who has interviewed a number
Of the G q aan prisoners. One Of them
he describes as IAN intelligent uni
versity man." The British officer
quotes their conversation as follows:
Il do not wish to insult you," said
the German, but you English are
well-intended fools. We who govern
in Germany are not like you. We gov
ern the fools: the fools govern you"
Your principles are sweeping" re-
piled the Briton. ITO come down to
practice, what have you to say about
the guilt of beginning the war;"
Guilt" demanded the German; sit
was glory. claim 1t for Germany"
That is hardly your official view
1.-The official view is for fools"
But you believe in the Prussian
purpose behind all this" asked the
British soldier.
81 do, as in nothing else" replied
the German. THE Prussian purpose
is God. There is no other. Prussia
will rend the veil of the temples, but
she viii destroy to create. Against
Prussian might the world as it exists
today will fall in ruins, but Prussia
will build a better and more virile
world In its place. Strength only will
survive. The life OF men is naturally
a fight. The strongest in force and
cunning will live
1T will be going back to the flood
said the Briton.
Prussia is the flood"
And when the old world is drowned,
virtue and all such weaknesses will go
with IL
THE old virtue was womanish,"
said the prisoner. The new virtue IS
strength"
I'm that blessed future will war
reign triumphant"
Life is war-all of life that is heal
thy. Peace is only striving for mas
terry with other weapons. That is the
law of nature"
so everyone will fight till everyone
is dead?'
THE weakest will go under. Thev
are the disease. The stronger will
live: and after that the stronger and
stronger. till there is perfect health"
But ii may be that Prussia will
keep a few slaves9"
Certainly" said the German.
Those who care not TO fight that they
may rule are in their nature slaves"
II had had enough OF it, the officer
concluded. 1T was nauseating.
the man was genuine in his belief
so obsessed by his elementary r~@ion
of virility that 1t was a taste of time
to argue with him. His conceptions
were quite difinite and not a doubt
assailed him. The hideous world OF
his vision seemed to him a natural
and glorious world"

United States.
Since the United States entered the
war, the campus and the many mag
nificent buildings of the university
have been at the call of the govern
ment for use as it saw fit in the train
ing of men for military service. The
university has conducted schools, I'M
der government direction, for the
training of army medical officers,
navigation, army ordnance, signal SER
vice, course for nurses as well as pre-
pairing men in other useful lines for
the army and navy.
Most members Of the aviation eX-
aiming boards throughout the coun-
try were trained at the parent unit,
organized at the University of Penn
Sylvania.
Three ambulance units, a base hos
pital, several Red Cross units and va
rious detached units have been or
ganized here. For the special use of
the army and navy, the university
hospital has set aside $50 beds and
many of the laboratories have been
placed at the disposal of government
experts.

Castor Punice
For Fertilizer

Il ~ expected that castor ponies,
the residue from the making of castor
OF. which is % be manufactured in
the big government mill at Gainesville
will be distributed to the farmers of
this and other states through chan
nels which the bureau of fertilizers
OF the United States department Of
agriculture will direct, according TO =
letter from Senator Fletcher to the
state marketing bureau.
1t is said that castor pornice pos
sesses fine fertilizing properties and
as fertilizer is scarce, this product
will be eagerly sought and it is the
plan of the department OF agriculture
to distribute it to the best advantage
OF the farmers Of Florida and the
south
II will be of interest to those who
may need fertilizer this season to
make known their needs to farm dem
onstration agents who in turn will
keep in touch with the Authorities in
Washington and prevent as far as pos
sible any profiteering in this very
necessary commodity.
A large acreage OF castor beans has
been planted in Florida and the oil
from them and from those grown in
neighboring states will be expressed
at the Gainesville mill There will of
course be a large residue for fertilizer.
The oil will be used by the government
to lubricate airplanes.
1t is said that a borer Is doing some
damage to the castor bean plants here
and there and representatives of the
state plant bureau and of the United
States plant bureau at Washington
are busy making investigations and
expect to head off any serious trouble.
