IL In an address to young naval off
gers at Annapolis few days ago
Secretary Daniels said Not in your
day will there be any reduction in
naval power
I. 1t appears that neither Secretary
Daniels or Secretary Baker have any
idea that the league Of nations is 60
ting to prevent war. no doubt they
hope il will, but they seem to have
little faith in it. Secretary Daniels is
for an increased navy and Secretary
Baker wants an army of 100000 men
in time of peace. If these admiDistra.
tion officers have doubts of the eff
eacy of the league how can others be
expected to have confidence in it?

A Tribute to Pearl Dickerson.

Resolutions in memory of Bro. Pearl
Dickerson:
1t being eminently just and fitting
that those who are living and knew
him best should pay just and affection
ate tribute to him who was lost at sea
while helping his country in time of
need
If each kind act of his life were to
be rewarded with a rose; if every word
of good advice given to his fellow as
sociates were rewarded with a lily, he
would now be sleeping in wilderness
of flowers
In the death of Bro. Pearl Dicker-
son, Homer lodge, No. so, l. o. o. r.,
has lost more than brother because
we have lost a young man who in ev-
cry storm of life was an oak. a rock.
And. while his chair has been made
vacant in his home lodge, his memory
has been and ever will be cherished l.y
the brotherhood of the Homet lodge.
Resolutions and expressions of sym
pathy can little avail the dead, but il,
is both natural and proper that We, his
brother Odd Fellows, should express
to the father. sister and brothers ami
to others who were near and dear to
him, our profound sympathy and com-
miseration.
Therefore, be it resolved that these
expressions of respect and sympathy be
made a part Of the permanent records
of Homer lodge, No. so, of which he
was faithful member: that an en-
bossed copy be presented to the sister
and that the press be furnished copies
for publication.

 NEW NAVY.

WASHINGTON, C. D., Aug. 29. (P) The administration bill author izing the war department to retain lS,0OO extra officers in the United States army until next July passed the house today. There is but little objection to such action on the part of the government as far as can be learned and it is therefore thought that the senate will take like action on the bill.
 The officers, it is claimed, are need ed for the purpose of oilicering the various units of the reorganized Amer ican army It is understood that the smaller units will be formed into larger ones as the organization pro gresses and that the new organization will be able to dispense with the ser vices of the extra officers by the time that their time of service has expired.

VALDEZ, Aug. 29 Especial to The
 CitizrnD WiCkersham testified yes trrday in the contest against Grigsby for the delcgateship. He said he did tions from the signal corps because his friends feared that he would be Killed if hr undertook it. and that he had been advised by his attorney and a good many other respectable men that if they testified as to whom they yo ed for the signal corps men would falsely say they voted for WiCkcrsham aItho it has been notorious that most of them had voted for Sulzer. He thus directly accused signal corps men of intent to commit perjury and perhaps murder
 Wichcrah0m further testified to being severely beaten in an altorca- ton with Tom Selby last Saturday
 tnd that he had been unable to do any thing since The facts of the matter are that the voting of the signal corps men was probably about evenly diNlded between Sulzer and Wicker ~ham and the latter now realizes it.
 The signal corps men are all men of high character In the fight with young Selby Wickersham received d t,rl.t l.. i,1,- Il l,.,, tooth knocked out but was not wound cd otherwise WiCkerSham struck 5elby first and the fight really amount ed to nothing Wick ia only tryina the baby act now in order to get sym pa hy.
 Wick is also endeavoring to have the entire vote of the soldiers of t't l.iarum thrown out on the ground that they had not resided in the pre-
 ,u.t thirty days before voting, al ho they were all drafted or enlisted men from various parts of Alaska and all had resided in Alaska for several years prior to enlistment and had al ready been stationed at Liscum more than thirty days prior to election. He claims these men could gain no residence by being stationed at Lis cum and that therefore could not vote in that precinct He is thus try ing to disQualify as voters all Alas hans who were patriotic enough to enlist in the army during the war but who were compelled by military or dcrs to reside in other precincts than that in which they lived before enlist ment.
