 In addition to these acts Alaska benefited from the sundry civil bill and other measures, in all of which Mir Sulzer played an important part before the committees.
 Besides the bills which were finally enacted into law, Mir. SulZcr has SC cured the favorable report of the com. mittee on two other measures and the matters are now on the calendar of the house of representatives and will be passed without question as soon as they can be reached. The delegate also has several other mat. ters before the committees. has had hearings on them, and hopes to get favorable reports before the new ses- sion starts in December. Some of the matters pending have been strongly in removing much of the opposition, and there appears every reason to hope for the final passage of the bills

Sulzer Secures Equal PriviIeges for Aiaskans in Regard to Officers
 Training Camps

In addition to the above activities it is shown that many Aaskans had the privilege of attending officers training camps and the opportunity of becoming officers in the United States army through the efforts Of Delegate SulZer. This is recalled by of the young men who entered the war service year ago August 2.
 In the first training camp for of ficers no provision was made for ad- mission of Alaskans. Men were ad- mitted from every state in the Union and aften intensive training were com. missioned Then the war department announced that the second training camp would open on August 21. 1917. When the plans were published the delegate noted that no provision was made for the admission of Alaskans. He lost no time in consulting with the adjutant general of the army. the secretary of war and others. and after a few days of hard work induced the department to make a change in the orders whereby twenty Alaskans would be admitted to the training camp. This order was changed few days later, the number being in. creased to 27.
 Mir. Sulzer was also largely respon- sible, the records show. for securing for Alaskans the same privileges in regard to the later training camps that were extended to young men in the States.

 "Of the bills passed by congress in the present session not pertaining di- rectly to the winning of the war, one seventh were measures introduced by Charles A. Sulzer, delegate from Alaska, and they were constructive laws for the bettcrment of the terri tory"
 Mir. Morrissey goes on to say that during the Sixty.ffth congress ap- proXimatcly 13,000 bills were intro duced in the house of representatives, hich body consists of 435 members Of these 13.O0O bills, only 52 have been enacted into law, which fact is
 some evidence that 1t has been a difficult matter during this session for any measure to receive favorable consideration.

 The securing of favorable consider l ation for those two bills was by no means the extent of the delegates work in the house, however. for he secured the adoption of an amend ment to the army appropriation bill, the largest appropriation ever made 1 by any legislative body. This bill carried with it an appropriation for S13, ,000, ,0N, ,O00. and notwithstanding the fact that 1t was passed by the house of representatives with less than two hours debate, MT.

The political opponents of Charles A.

Delegate SulZer has made really remarkable record of accomplishment in this direction.
