mittee, however, is continuing it's In
vestigation Of the hostile activities Of
Carranza and his followers, and it has
transmitted to the president lot Of
interesting facts. At the time OF
writing no reply had been received
from the Mexican government to Sec
rotary Lansing's latest note concern
ing Consular Agent Jenkins. It was
learned that the release Of Jenkins
was brought about by an American
who provided bail for him in the be.
lief that thus hostilities would DO
averted. The Mexicans, however,
yielded one point when their federal
court assumed full jurisdiction in the
case, removing 1t from the local court
at Puebla.
Meanwhile, Carranza is continuing
his efforts to prevent the shipping Of
fuel oil into this country and the
bringing In of new wells by Americans
on their own oil lands in Mexico. The
Mexican senate. on Wednesday, after
long debate, adopted the Oil bill SUBJ
mitted by Carranza, and it then went
to the lower house for approval.
The Republican national committee,
at it's session in Washington, fulfilled
expectations by selecting Chicago for
the national convention of 1920, and
set the date fer.=the opening of the
great gathering as June 8. That is
Tuesday, and@thes plan is to have the
convention adjourn on the following
Friday instead of Saturday as has
been customary. st. Louis made a
contest for the convention but received
only 9 votes out of 50. The conven-
ton will consist of 984 delegates,
seven fewer than in 1915. The basis
of representation was ordered in 1915,
one delegate for each senator and
member of congress and one addi-
tional in each congressional district
where as many as $500 votes were
cast for Hughes In 1916. By this New
York and North Carolina each gain
Arkansas 2, Massachusetts 1, Tennes-
see / and Texas 3.
The committee created a new party
council, consisting of twelve of its
members and twelve outsiders, four OF
them women. The council is to DELHI
crate on matters touching the party
welfare, to consider subjects to be en-
bodied in the national platform, and
to make recommendations for the con-
sideration of the national committee.
1t is intended that draft of the plat
form shall be made at least two weeks
before the convention opens and sub
mitted to the resolutions committee.

A WELCOME SERVICE,

The proposed establishment of an aerial service between Valdez and Fairbanks, as an nounccd in yesterdays issue of The Citizen, will be welcomed by all residents of this sec ton of the country Its benefits would be many and undoubtedly the enterprise would be given support by local merchants and private individuals in d measure that would materially aid in making the venture profitable one.
 The successful operation of such an aerial route would mean that the interior of Alaska would be brot several days closer to the Out side world. The size of the machines which the new corporation proposes to use would in sure the practical value of the route, The investment which the company is to make Is not an excessive one, and represents little more than is ordinarily tied up in equipment and stock by any stage company seeking to give adcQuatc service between Fairbanks and the coast.
 There is no reason why such a service should not be successful from the very outset The company is not experimenting with an un- tried machine, but with one that has dcmon- strated its serviccabity, The distance be- tween Fairbanks and Valdez is not great, and the country is of such nature that the air passage should not be difficult. The average winter weather should not be a great handicap and this can probably be entirely eliminated after a few trial trips.
 The local Commercial Club has for months been agitating the establishment of an aerial mail service from coast to interior It has taken the matter up with the postal de-
 
 of Commerce. Now that an Outside organza- tion has announced its intention of entering the field, the club should get into communica- ton with the promoters and give them any data. or other assistance, it is able to supply

MEXICAN DISTINCTIONS
{ (I<NChangc.)


 There is not the slightest necessary con- ncCtion between intervention in Mexico and what our troops actually did in Juarcz on Sunday and Mondav General Erwin. as his report to General Cabc shows, ordered his men across the river because bullets from the Mexican side were killing and wounding civilians and soldiers in Fl Paso. He ordered them to attack the NilIistas because he had what seemed to him convincing testimony that it was the NiIstas, not the Carranzistas, who were firing over the line. He might have confined himself strictly to disodging the NiI- Iistas from Juarcz. He did, in fact, take punitive measures which were not necessary for the immediate safety of Fl 'aso. He kill ed McNicans in order to demonstrate that Mcxcans cannot kill Americans with inn punity
 At this distance this logic may seem open to question. But one must remember that Texas opinion is colored with the frankly masculine ethics of the frontier; there are blood feuds along the Rio Grande that have nothing to do with international law This Is picturesque, but it does not yield impartial Ity Even the perennial Senator Fall, who knows a great deal about Mexico, is neither dispassionatc nor disintercsted. So until there has been an impartial investigation we may suspend judgment as to the practical wisdom of killing so many McNiCans in order to drive home the necessary moral axiom.
 Interventonists will of course utilize the incident to advertise their views upon the state Of AeNico and the cure thereof, a1tho there o no more reason for determining upon a Mcxi- can policy now than there has been for two or three years past. There have been rumors for long time that a movement was on foot, in this country and in this city, ta-forcc intervention in the interests of the larger American investors. It will be well if the interests concerned will take pains to avoid iustifying such suspicious. Americans have their rights in Mexico, including a certain minimum which our government will have to uphold, but in crises of this sort they should be like CHsar's wife. The conscience of the common people of this country will not in- dOrSc a war against Mexico for the sake of any mans, or any groups, pockctbooll

WHAT'S THE ANSWER

The present regulations governing the sale of game, imposed last year by the secre- tary of agriculture, whatever their purpose may be- do not really effect anything but a waste of meat in as much as they apply to the section of Alaska lying north of latitude 6 degrees If intended for the conservation of the wild game, they certainly fall short of their object, and while allowing the killing of game by hunters fix it so that the meat can not be disposed of, which, unless weather conditions are favorable, means that meat killed between August 1, and August l9, will spoil before it can be used.
 Secretary Houston last year issued the following regulation:
 "The sale, directly or indirectly, of moo meat in Alaska between latitude @ degrees and the Arctic Circle, between December ? and August l0 both dates inclusive, is here by prohibited, and no moose meat shall be pro cured for serving and served in any boarding house, Cannery eating house, hotel, mess house or restaurant by the proprietor thereof or his agent in Alaska between latitude 6 degrees and the Arctic Circle between Decem- Der g and August l9 both dates inclusive '
 TIO1l lC Sdllduldll DOl QCl lO lllC west ern outlet of I,ake Clarke, across Cook Inlet to the westward of Seward all that portion of Alaska lying south of latitude 6 degrees and between longitudes Al degrees and 155 degrees is even more serious y affected. In that section the sale of moose, caribou, noun tain sheep or mountain goat meat is prohibited at all times Nor can this meat be served at any eating place in the affected district at any time.
 These regulations were issued under au- thority bestowed on the secretary of agricul- ture by the amendment of 1908 to the Alaska game law of June /, 1902 They can be re- voked by the secretary without action by con- gress and if the matter is put up to the de- partment in its true light it is probable that they would be cancelled.
 It is not clear just what purpose was in mind when they were issued. The law allows moose to be killed after August 1 each year in this section. But the regulation now in force compels persons killing such animals to

OFFICERS WILL
 BE DISCHARGED
OVER ELEVEN HUNDRED MARINE CORPS OFFICERS BE DENOT-
 ED OR DISCHARGED

WASHINGTON, July 30 CP) The war department finds it necessary to discharge or reduce the ranks of over eleven hundred officers of the marine corps This action is a part of the program to reduce the corps from its war strength of seventy thousand officers and men to it's peace strength of twenty-five thousand. IL is be lieved that a great many of the of ficers will be willing to accept their discharge, now that the war is over and they are confronted with long years of routine duty.
 Nearly all the regular officers of the corps were promoted when war was declared and an increase in the number of men authorized. There were also a large number of new of ficers appointed and it is probable that these men will constitute the greater portion of the eleven hundred to be denoted or discharged.

SOME GENIUS HERE,
(Naldez Miner.)

The Seattle st-Inte1ligenccr has gcni- us working on it's local staff. If his over lords don't trim his imagination and hold down to facts and grind him into a regular reporter he will soon be writing historical novels. If there be folks who doubt that the young man IS genius let them give the once over to his account of the death of Ralph PulVer in an Alaska snow slide and then say whether anybody but genius could so buoy antly lose the facts and put together such a compound of imagination. Get this:
 "He and a companion attempted to make up time lost when they failed to arrive at Val dez in time to board boat which was to have taken them to their destination. The two ob- tained a smaller boat, intending to go to Port age bay, fourteen miles from Valdez. Three miles from Valdez, while running close to shore, snowslide buried the vessel"
 George Creel couldn't beat that It doesn't fade mite when hung in the picture gallery alongside Georges story of the battle between the American transport fleet and Hun sub marines, which George afterWard admitted he elaborated"
 May we not direct the attention of the editor and the city editor of the P.-I to the talent they have, working for them by stating the sombre facts from which the buddine novelist creeled his recital? Try this:
 Ralph Puver and companion were sta toned here at Fort Liscum They were taken in launch to Portage bay eighty miles dis tant because the government railroad was in its annual Information and the port of Anchor age was frozen up. From Portage bay they started on snoWshoes to cross "the portaee," thirteen miles to the railroad along Turnapain arm, and at the base of mountain, three miles from Portage bay, Pulver was caught in a snowslide, his companion escaping because he was short distance behind

FALL MALL. Tenn, July go (Pl Sergeant Alvin (.

He hopes to erect q university to be situated where it is convenient to the mountain people and will be gin work soon on a campaign to raise the necessary funds.
 York recently married his child hood sweetheart who waited for him to return from the war and she heartily endorses his plans to devote his life to the young people of the mountains.

hold them until August 20 before they can be generally used for food. Warm weather generally prevailing at that season ol tn, year makes it impracticabIc to keep the meat for any length oi time unless storage iacIi- ties are at hand and as consequence the regulation makes for a waste of good food n- stead of conserving it.
 This is matter which might we'll be talk cn up with Delegate Grigsby by local organi- cations. The longer the regulation is allowed to stand unprotected the more difficult it will be to ever get it revoked.

ARE TO SETTLE DEFINITELY
 WHICH Is THE BEST DRIVER WILL USE RACING MACHINES FOR THE EVENT
 In order to boost the benefit base ball game given by the Girls Rootcr l Club for Steve Wenzel and at the same time settle their personal dis. pute as to which is the better race driver. Bob Sommers and Tom Mar guam will run a 3O-mile race Sunday afternoon at Exposition park immcdi- ateIy following the ball game It will be a good race and will settle the question if both machines hold out
 Two raching Fords will be used in the race. It is stated that Sheldon will furnish his ear and Gibson will provide the other one. In order that there may be no dispute over the merits of the respective cars, at the end of the first 90 laps the drivers will exchange machines. A fresh start will be made al the pole, but the driver being in the lead at the time of the exchange will be given that much start when the second half of the race is begun
 The drivers are making the race to help the cause along and to decide their dispute Neither one wants any of the gate receipts but hope that the race will boost the sale of tickets for the benefit.
 Five hundred tickets had been sold by the girls last night. With the race to draw more people it + believed that many additional ones will be dis posed of before Sunday.
