VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

George B. Grigsby invited King AL bert to visit Alaska on a hunting and fishing trip. The king said that he would enjoy doing so, but that he had too many questions to settle at home, Sorry, king; we would be glad to have you give the country the once over and would have the game laws set aside for the duration of your visit Douglas News.

Retrieving Rarbed Wire.

The problem of retrieving the buried and broken barbed wire on the bat tlefieldS of Flanders and northern France is being tackled by the British war office salvage committee, and a machine for the purpose has been in- vented and built which is thus de scrihed:
 One truck and trailer carries the whole of the plant, which can work on the most uneven ground. A stout wire rope with number of hooks is worked by a winch. As the barbed wire is drawn up it passes through two sets of rollers, and the salved met al appears in blocks from one foot to IS inches square, and weighing from 70 to 80 pounds. For smelting it sells for about $25 a ton. The staff in charge of the scheme thinks that there are 100000 tons that can be removed, and if that Is the aggregate weight the cost of the 40 outfits said to have been ordered Shuold be amply justified.

Willard Really Means It.

1t begins to appear that Jess Will
lard is In dead earnest about wanting
return match with Jack Dempsey.
For any one who saw the terrific lac
ing Willard got at Toledo it is hard
to conceive that he should be looking
fer more, but he is, according to
Tex Richard. who promoted the scrap.
1t seems that Richard in the past
week has received several kilograms
from Willard stating he was very
anxious to see him on an important
matter, but he paid little attention to
them until he received another mes
sage from Wizards business mana
ger. Ray Archer, to the effect that
WIZARDS business was imperative
Richard is convinced that it is in re-
ward to obtaining a chance to regain
willard was deeply disappointed
over his poor showing in the Demp-
sey fight" says Richard. and l know
he is anxious to redeem himself in the
eyes of the public. Willard now sees
his mistake in not training conscien-
tiousIy for the fight and also sees
what a great mistake he made IN
holding Dempsey too cheaply: why;
the night before the fight willard
was SO sure Of winning easily thar ne
wanted me to arrange to come with
him to New York to help him organ
ixe his moving picture company. He
never dreamed that Dempsey couid
hurt him. and the possibility OF tne
challenger knocking him out never
occurred to him.
Archer told me that Willard mas
gone into the mountains, where ne
wanted to live a hard, rugged Are, 10
shake off the laziness that seized MIN
Turing his training season in Toledo;
Willard simply would not work marc
at that time and when any one tried
TO advise him to get down to bust
ness he simply laughed. He feels
pretty badly about that hght and Is
out for revenge. That is what l MINK
he wants to see me about.
Rickard is Of the opinion that vii
lard will not try to get a matcn WIN
dempsey until he thinks he is In nrst-
class condition. but probably will look
for bout with Fred Fulton, on, VINO nos Is
said to have improved greatly since
Dempsey stopped him SO abruptly:
Rickard thinks that If Willard really
can get into shape and prove ~, ~ o. ny
beating Fulton that the FORMER cna IAN
pion can get another chance win

CENTRAL AND TECH
T0PLAY FOR TITLE.
Great Game Expected To-
morrow in Struggle for High
School Grid Hon0rS.
BY II. G. BYRD.

Central High and Tech meet tomor-
row in the decisive game for the high
school foot ball championship. Neither
team has been defeated, though Tech
has engaged in one tie. Central beat
Eastern and Business by big scores
and SO did Tech; however. Tech was
tied by Western. while Central won
from the Red and White by margin
of two touchdoWnS. The winner OF
tomOrrow's struggle will have undis-
puted possession of the championship.
The game is to be played in the Cen
trail stadium at $3.50 o'clock.
One of the best scholastic games
here in years is fairly certain. Tech
and Central are stronger than usual
and each is we'll drilled in open and
close foot ball. Teens main problem
on defense will be to stop the wide
sweeping end runs Central has de-
veloped so well, particularly with
Newly carrying the ball; Centrars
rected toward diagnosing Techs de-
ceptive line plays and to stop the
heavy plunges of Pugh.
Central is worried more about the
game tomorrow than it has worried
about any high school game it has
White authorities said last night that
Central realized it would be up
against the strongest eleven it has
faced in the high school series. in
years and that Tech, stands an even
chance to win. This may or may not
be, but if confidence counts for any
thing Tech ought to be at least an
even bet to come out on the long end
Of the score.
No matter what the relative
strength of the contending teams, it is
difficult for any high school eleven to
beat Central in that stadium. When
any college eleven goes to play Yale
in the Yale bowl for the first time the
whole psychology of the situation is
against it. and the same condition
holds good for one of the other high
schools at Central. 1t is hard to meet
an enemy on his own ground and to
realize that his ground is better than
yours and that every advantage that
is gained by being on his ground is
against you. That is the psychology
cal factor that other high schools must
overcome against Central. That may
not seem to be a very material factor
in an actual occurrence. but, never

But no matter what the mental at
titude of the contending teams when
they tread the grass in the Central
stadium. some mighty good scholastic
foot ball is assured. One side or the
other is going to show some excellent
play, and probably both will. Central
is weakened by the loss of one of its
ends. but it is not unlikely that out

treasurer the sum of $4,000. part

The understanding among ma
jority of the club owners of the cir
cult is that the annual meeting Will
be called by Johnson to be held in
Chicago the second Tuesday in De-

constitution. II the call of the board

as to whether the power to call meet
ings is vested in the president or the

claim the document gives them the
power. but Johnson has been exercis-
ing 1t for years. SO it may require
q long legal Skirmish to decide the
question.
However. should Johnson agree to
the call of the board for the meeting
in Sew York he could go there with
the five club owners who are support

forms are those which protect the
homes. The best philanthropy Is
the philanthropy that makes pos
sible better homes, for the home
is the unit OF society. the corner

the nation, the prototype Of the
church, and the antitype Of Heaven.
In other words, Christian homes are
the hope Of the world.
Dur homes are more indebted to
the church for their happiness,
