MINE LAYERS OF PACIFIC FLEET
 ARE PIONEERS

SAN FRANClCO, Aug, 13-- The two mine layers with the great Paci- fife fleet are pioneers of one of the greatest accomplishments in naval his tory the bottling up of the German fleet of submarines to the extent that the undcrsea boats lost much of the effectiveness.
 The Baltimore and ArooStock, with others of their kind flying the Amer ican flag, planted more than 50,000 American mines in European waters. The barrage they laid down against the submarines was 230 miles long and stretches from Scotland to Nor way. The British navy assisted, but the Americans laid so percent of that famous line of high explosives. There were more than 6,700 members of the navy engaged in this work.
 Night and day, fair weather and foul, the work went on. A slight mis- chance and a mine layer might itself be blown up meeting the quick fate intended for enemy craft. While they were at work enemy submarines, fast dcStroyerS and air machines constant ly haraSSed them.
 The mines these vessels laid were notable in themselves. They were an American invention. It is said the plan of a mine barrage also was due to American genius.
 The mine, deadly when anchored, was harmless if it tore loose and vert afloat. When the navy department de- sided on it's manufacture cons%actS were let with not dozens but hundreds of firms. One hundred thousand werr made.
 Each mine contained 200 pounds of Y. x. T. They were carried across the ocean to Scotland where ports were built for this one purpose and from .hcre taken out to berths in the sea-
 It has been said more than S5O,OO0,- 900 was spent between June, 1918 when the work was begun and German submarines at a high peak of their success. and November, II, 1919 when Germany surrendered.

CAMPAIGN IS STARTED
 TO MAN PACIFIC FLEET
 WITH MEN FROM WEST

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug, 13- "Man the Pacific fleet with Western men, is the slogan of the intensive recruit ing campaign launched at every port visited by the Pacific fleet.
 Men will be enlisted at war time pay for two, three or four years terms. The shorter term is expected to be especially attractive to young boys just completing their schooling. To these and all who enlist will be given opportunity, it has been announced to choose the ship they wish to join. Cruises to many ports in the Pacific at frequent intervals also is expected to lure many.
 Manning the ships with western men also. it was said, will tend to keep individual ships permanently stationed in Western waters, as the desire of the men and officers will be to have their ships based at homo ports.
 Tn this connection some navy men look to see some ships almost com. pletely manned by officers and crew from an individual city or district at which it would have it's base. In the east many times ships have been transferred from one base to another because a preponderancc of crew and officers lived at a certain port or base

sailing speed of thirty-five knots aa to make the round trip across the ocean without recoaling.
 "To prove that this new venture was practical the Renown was manned with a complete crew to make sec ret voyage across the Atlantic. She crossed and returned, between the nearest points on the European and American shores, in six days three days for each crossing.
 "It was small wonder that the few mariners who caught a glimpse of her decided she was a phantom ship. So quickly was the whole thing done that few outside of the British admiralty knew even of the exiStance of the cruisers"

LODGE IS AGAINST
 LEAGUE
By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Aug, 13- Sen ator Lodge, in a speech today, said that the League of Nations was aa experiment built upon noble pur- pose but that as an American citizen he could never accept certain features of the covenant.
 ~ "The League of nations would kill the Monroe doctrine" said Senator Lodge, "nullify any possibility for withdrawal from membership; impair Americas sovereign power of decid- ing domestic questions and plunge America into every controversy and conflict upon the globe"
The Seward gateway daily edition, and the Alaska weekly post., 1919-08-13

When the Prince of Wales reachei shore yesterday afternoon from the new cruiser RenoNn, it was not the first voyage of that mystery snip across the ocean, according to naval officers. The story of the Renown and the four other battle cruisers of the same type, was one of the most care fully guarded secrets of the British admiralty during the war. Built at that time they were called mystery ships.
 The Renown's trial trip was like the cruise of phantom ship, which fitted across the horizon and was gone SO quickly that many doubted their eyes and few would have believed the per formance possible even if they haa known of it.
 "After the battle of Jutland the Eng fish figured that the Germans wouii start building battleships of greater speed, in anticipation of another sea battle" said naval officer in first telling of the secret ships. "The Re nown and her four sister ships Re pulse, Glorious, Furious and Courage ous- were building at the time of the battle. The tonnage is about 26,5OO, with a complement around 1000 of- ficers and men.
 The three essentials of fighting ship are armament, armor and en- zines. One cannot be increased with out proportionate diminution of either the others. The British wanted the fastest cruiser afloat. They could not tighten her armament, but armed with such heavy long range guns and with such speed that she could out reach and outspeed any other battl. ship armor was superfluous. There fore, these ships were built without armor. A daring venture in unarmor- ed cruisers. More and powerful engIn' es replaced the weight of the usual heavy protection of armor.
 "Though not actually filled with en- zines and coal bunkers from stem to stern, she had enough to drive her weighted down as she was with an armament of fifteen inch guns at a
