ALASKA IS PREPARED
Organization of the Home Guards Mostly Due to Assist in Heading
 off Trouble.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-A Ma val Patrol of the Alaska coast has been established to forestall agita- tion by the leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World.

There have been underground Iumors for some time in Alaska that German agents and their sym pathizers were centering their at- tention on Alaska with view of hindering a. hampering war in- dustries. Inc above brief tele- gram is the first intimation that official notice had been taken by Washington. One idea of having Home Guards in each Alaska town was to be ready for any emergency that might arise in connection with enemies of the United States.
 The coast survey steamers Explor- CT and Patterson at Seattle have been turned over to the Navy De- partment, which will add them to other ships for patrol work. So far there has been no trouble or evidence of an outbreak in Aalska. The com ing season opens June 1st and 1t is believed preparations are under way to interfere with the work of pre- serving the food.

Table talk" says Leigh Hunt, "to

times grave, always agreeable, touch

s%easonable ones, and letting everybody
speak and be heard" There is a story
of a Frenchman at one of Rogers
breakfasts who listened to Macaulay's
endless eloquence, and, seeing another
talker waiting his chance, fastened his
eyes on Macaulay and muttered, ISL
tousse, IL est perdu." In regard TO the
part of anecdotes in table talk, I quote
two opinions. "He who has stored his
memory with slight anecdotes, private
incidents and personal peculiarities,"

fails to find his audience favorable"
