The coal area at Unalaklik is said to be we'll defined and is self ev- dent for about three miles along
 the coast, but the Geological Survey gives it a much larger area from Steamboat cabin to Poker creek, fol lowing the line of the coast about thirty miles. The part that was eX- amined has a capping of fire clay with bed of slate on end. There is evidence from the manner in which the rocks are folded that at one time there were titantic forces at work.

CLOSER RELATIONS

There have been several evidences during the last year of the develop ment of closer relationship among the South American republics as a result of the economic conditions that have grown out of the war. Before the war, writes an Asso- ci..ted Press correspondent, each South American republic dealt directly with the United States and European countries and paid little attention to it's neighbors in a com mercial way This has all been changed and these republics are now finding that they can supply each other with goods in exchange for things they need.
 The latest effort in this direction is the organization of South American International Exposition which is to be opened in Montevideo on January 26 for the display of cattle, agricultural and industrial exhibitions. Each South American republic has been asked to send exhibits and also to appoint jury to form part of the general jury of awards
 The exhibits of cattle and agri culture will include machinery anC implements used in connection witt cattle raising and farming in eacf of the countries and the industria exhibits have been planned so as t, include everything that is manu factured in South America.
 The Committee of Honor will in cIude the president of Uruguay, tn, members of the cabinet, the presi dents of the senate and deputies the president of the supreme cour and the diplomatic representatives O the countries which send exhibits

Two New Armies

The news of the day brings in
formation of two new armies to be
formed for auxiliary war work.
One is an industrial army of 100000
consisting of drafted men who have
been rejected for slight physical de-
fects, insufficient to bar them from
ordinary occupations. They will
be employed in producing or hand
ling equipment for the army, re-
leasing an equal number of men for
the fighting line.
The other is a mobile army of
agricultural laborers, who will be
used in the wheat harvest, gradually
working north from Oklahoma to
North Dakota as the season adj
vances.
To these, of course, will be added
hundreds of thousands of men of
draft age who will find employment
on the farms or in useful industries
before July 1, under Provost Mar
sinai Crowder's work-or-iight" order.
This order, by the way is one of
the most popular yet issued by Gen
Crowder. 1t is expected to clean
out the poolroom and street. corner
loafers and to put the Stacker stamp
upon those who deserve it.
In the meanwhile, the able-bodied
loafers just below or above the draft
age would do we'll to look out. The
nations man power must be fully
modified. the next problem is to
see that those not technically sub
ject to military duty be usefully en-
ployed, if physically capable, no
matter what their ages may be.
Deliveries of the 5000 motor
trucks recently ordered by the
Motor Transport Service of the War
Department are to be made be
tween August and December
These trucks. known as Glass B
Standard" will have a capacity of
from 3 to 5 tons, and will be dis
tributed as needed through the
various branches of the Army. Ten
thousand of these class B standard
lied trucks have previously been
ordered and are now in process of
manufacture and delivery.
There are 148,868 officers and
men in the Aviation Corps of the
United States Army, of whom 4,054
are flyers. Every flyer has the in
tention of becoming an ace by
bringing down five Boche planes.

POST IS IMPORTANT
Big Change Under Way.

In possible explanation of Gen.
Greene's surrender of his national
army command of major general
1t should be stated that there are
no national army troops in the
Philippines. As previously men
toned in these dispatches, there
has been a considerable movement
of regular army field officers to
the Philippines, according to pub
lished army reports, in recent
weeks.
The Philippine command man
ifestly would play a considerable
part in any possible American or
interallied military movement in
any part of Asia.
Pew General Coming.
The command of the 91st d.
vision devolves on Brig. Gen. s. F..
s. Foltz, the senior officer pres
ent, but the general staff said to-
day that major general presently
will be assigned to the command.
1t would give no indication OF
which one. Mai. Gen. Leonard
Wood Is free for such duty, but it
is doubtful that he will be chosen
in view of the present circum-
stances OF the division.

RHODES TO
BUILD BIG
STRUCTURE

H. A. Rhodes, president OF
Rhodes Brothers, announced Fri
day that a large, complete, mod
ern apartment building would be
constructed for him this summer
with all possible speed at the
northeast corner of Ninth and
Market streets.
The building will have four
floors above the Market street
level. It will be about 60x100
feet in area and contain between
so and 60 two and three-room
apartments.
Some of these will be furn-
ished. All will be finished after
the most modern ideas, said Mr..
Rhodes.
In addition, the building will
contain three storerooms 'front.'
ing on Ninth and one on Market.
Plans are being prepared by
Heath & Cove, architects, and the
construction will be placed in the
hands of j. Il. Bonnell.
The property is now occupied
by a two-story store and room
ing house structure, which will be
torn down.
The cost of construction, Mr..
Rhodes said, has not yet been de-
termined, but the price is expect
ed to be double what it would
have been two years ago.
The avearge rental Of the apart
ments will average IS month
in excess of peace-times rates.
Work is expected to start the
first of July and the building be
ready for occupancy about Octo-
Der /.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 81.
1t is apparent here that the trans
fer of Maj. Gen. H. A. Greene
from Camp Lewis does not con-
tain any reflection on the soldier
ly abilities of Gen Greene.
He comes here to receive cer-
tain important instructions, after
which he goes to Manila to as
sumo command of the department
of the Philippines, relieving Brig.
Gen. r. M. Evans, retired off
Ger, who comes home.
Island Post Important.
The position OF department conf
mander of the Philippines now is
quite different from that of de-
partment commander in the Unit
ed States.
In the Philippines the depart
men commander actually COM
mands considerable army, for 1t
is revealed by army orders that
the Philippine scouts, part of his
command, have been greatly ex-
banded, and the Philippines ma
tional guard has become formid-
able body, all in addition to the
very considerable force stationed
in the islands.

TAC0MANS
MOVED Up
IN DRAFT

At least so per cent of the mar
ried men in Tacoma and vicinity
will be moved up from classes 3
and 4 in the draft to class 2 and
all wOuldbe slackers will be
placed in class 1.
This is in accordance with the
new work or fight ruling Of
Provost Marshal General Crowd
err, which requires all men be-
tween the ages of 81 and 81 to be
in some productive employment
which is of benefit to the govern
ment by July /, according to the
statement made to The Times by
Miss Charlotte Gaylord, clerk of
draft board No. 3, Friday morn
ing.
Fred A. Johnson, the head of
board No. 8, who is at the office
all of the time, with his assist
ant, Miss Gaylord, is devoting
great deal Of attention to indi-
vidual cases and trying to arrange
things for the men, so that those
who have families dependent on
them will not be caught unawares
by their ignorance as to their
status.

merely as l would want to be
treated, sNere.ss4e thsir--place,'" y.
said Mr. johnson.
There are some of them who
cannot arrange their business af-
fairs and change their employ
ment before July l, and to these
we are giving extensions of two
or three weeks so that they will
not be forced to lose a great deal
OF money.
There is one case that has
come before my notice of a win
dow trimmer and manager of a
department store here. He is
supporting mother, wife and
two small children, and we do not
believe that it would be fair to
take him away from this employ
ment where he can earn the most
money, to force him to manual
labor at lower salary. l be-
lieve that it is up to the men of
the draft boards to use justice as
we'll as judgment.

The police declare they have
absolute evidence that there was
a bitter quarrel between the girl
and her one-time lover, and that
Victor Howard, an army post bus
driver, who also is being held iii
jail, was the "other man in the
love triangle.
Howard Questioned.
In attempting to solve the mys-
terry the police Friday closely
questioned Howard. What infor-
nation they obtained from him
they declined to say.
According to the story OF
man who was with Geisert until
late Thursday night Geisert told
him as he was leaving that he
(Geisert) was just going to the
hotel to start something" This
was at a. m. Friday morning,
and Geisert's body was found
dead about 80 minutes later.
The Pierce hotel, where the
shooting occurred is at 919R
Broadway.
Lying by the side of Geisert's
body the police found a drug
syringe, charged. Geisert was ap-
parently about % years old and
registered at the hotel at p. m.
Thursday. Mrs. Barnhart, the
maid who showed him to his
room, says he appeared worried
and paced the floor for a long
while.
Clerk George w. Vanderbeck
was the first to rush into the
room after the shooting which
occurred about 1:15 Friday
morning. He found Geisert lying
across the bed with gun wound
thru his heart.
Girl Tells Story.
Startling revelations were made
by the girl Friday morning in
the city Jail.
She told a Times reporter that
Geisert called her over the tele-
phone Thursday and said:
"'I'm coming up to the
hotel and you'd better see
me unless you want your
friends to look at your body
in the undertaking parlOrs.'
Miss Moan said that Geisert,
whom she had known for several
years and with whom she had
lived with for over a year, was
jealous when he learned she was
going with Victor Howard. She
said Geisert was always full of
hop and travelled with a bunch Of

Hold 38 Miles

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 81.
American soldiers now hold
38 miles of trenches in France,
members of the house military
committee learned, according to
the war department today.
Troop movements have ben
kept up despite the necessity of
shipping increased supplies, be-
cause ships have been run on
schedule or better, the commit
tee was told.
The committee also received
encouraging figures on produc-
ton of machine guns and small
arms ammunition. One months
production of 80 caliber am
munition amounted to 2O5,000-
600 rounds.
The west front battle line from
the North sea to Switzerland to-
day is about 4S5 miles. The
Americans therefore are holding
slightly less than one-twelfth Of
the whole line today.
