 The coal for this fueling base, it 1" proposed, will be brought from the Matanuska and other Alaska coal fields.
 It is estimated that by the es- tablishment of this base great ad- ditional amounts of cargo space would be created. Vessels engaged in trade with the Orient, would thus be required to carry only half of the fueling coal that is now necessary to take on board, as the station would be situated about half way between Puget Sound and Japan, and 1t would make 1t pos sible 'nr the bunkering of vessels thera either east or west bound.

WILL RAISE DRAFT AGE LIMIT.

AS soon as congress reassembles
Secretary Baker will ask that the law
be amended raising the age limit from
the present limitations of from 21 to
81 years to that of from 19 to Sc
years, or approximately these ages
Nothing definite has been decided up
on, but it is the general belief of the
army that few men who could make
good could be had over the age of SO
years. While this may be so it would
be better to raise the limit to at least
As, which would bring many non
workers into the fold where they
could be made to perform some SER
vice for their country. And yet
there are many men above 45 who
could be depended upon to perform
prodigious services on the firing line
or in any other place that war exig-
encies might place them.
