SIGNAL CORPS OF
UNCLE SAM KEEPS
FAITHFUL VIGIL
Among Deep Shows and
Lonely Places the Men
Do Their Work
IN FAR OFF ALASKA
The Signal Corps Works With Mer-
curry Way Down and Under
Many Hardships

VALDEZ, Alaska, April 26-Up
among deep SHOWS and fierce gales, in
some of the most lonely spots in the
world in winter time, where the mer-
curry sometimes is from SO to SO de-
grees below zero, the men of Uncle
Sans Signal Corps keep their faith
full vigil.
In lonely hamlets on the top Of soli-
tary mountains, their cabins buried
in snowdrifts, these men in khaki
watch in the white silences over the
slender wires of communication reach
ing from Valdez to the interior, and
thence to the farthest confines of the
territory, ending above Nome In the
great white wastes of the sub-Arctic.
From Maine, New York, Texas, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska and other states re-
cruits come to the service. There has
not yet been the first instance record
ed of a man failing to perform the
task allotted to him.
Seventeen nations are maintained
by the corps out of Valdez, each com
pletely outfitted. The Pacific-Alaska
cable after leaving Seattle, first
reaches the cost at Valdez. Here mes
sages are transferred from the cable
and sent out over the land lines
To reach his station, OF post of
duty, many of the Signal Corps men
have to walk hundreds of miles. Then
when the winter blasts hurl out over
the white wastes, begins the Signal
Corps Mans vigil. Copper wires that
link the great territory together and
carry the news of the world, pass
from Valdez through deep forests,
tundra and morass, over lofty hills
and through beautiful prairies to
Fairbanks, down the Tanana river to
fort Gibbons, down the Yukon to st.
Michael and thence to Nome. VI
Daily trails must be broken to other
stations, lines repaired, trees removed
from the vicinity of the wires. The
Signal Corps man must risk his life
time and again for the careless or un-

NEW YORK, April 26-Coincident
tn an announcement by United
|ates District Attorney Caffey, that
had received no instructions from
Washington to prosecute brewers
*stributing beer of 3-4 per cent
Eoholic content in violation of food
observation regulations promulgated
the internal revenue department,
vernment counsel stated that the
partment had taken steps to per-
It resumption Of beer bottling. Col
tors throughout the country have
en- directed, it swas stated, to un-
hl the locks onkbrewery pipe lines,
bich have remained idle since brew
was forbidden by presidential pro-
mation December /, last.
The two announcements were made
federal court in the course Of an
gument on the governments mo-
bn to dismiss the brewers suit to
strain official interference with the
oduction of 2 3-4 per cent brew,
legged to be nonintoxicant. Specu-
ton resulted as to whether the gov
fnment's attitude, including autho-
kation made early this week of the
lle of revenue stamps, hitherto de-
led the manufacturers, would con-
hue after the war time prohibition
ct becomes effective. District At
brney Caffey and Special United
tates Attorney Fits, appearing for
ttorney General Palmer in the in
inction proceedings, declared trey
ad no knowledge of the course, to
e e+puisued when the emergency act,
brbidding manufacture after April
., and sale after June 80 of "beer,
inc and other intoxicating malt OIL
nous beverages" goes into opera
pn.
The internal revenue department IS
versal of its earlier attitude which
I'd been based on a ruling that beer
" to 2 per cent or greater al
holic content was Intoxicating and
forbidden, under the modified reg
ations effective early this year per-
itting production of "near beer,'
as brought out during the argument
efore Judge A. N. Hand of. William
Guthrie, junior counsel, with Eli
Root, for the United States Brew
IS association.
The brewers, with immense prop
rty interests involved, were cup in
be air." the attorney asserted, add
hg that while withdrawal of the or
er prohibiting the sale of revenue
lamps had been announced in Wash
lgton, the tags were still unavailable

hpossible, because the collector re-
used to send agents to unseal locks
the pipe lines in brewery bottling
apartments.

UNITED STATES TO
Be FIRM AND JUST
WITH JAPANESE
Has Trained Army Intact
and Ready for Any
Eventuality
WILSON STANDS FIRM
1t Is Believed That the Recalcitrant
Nations Will Hesitate Before
| Making Trouble
WILSON STANDS FIRM

| WASHINGTON, April 26-The in
ternational showdown, recently pre-
cipitated by Japan and Mexico, with
| German influence as shadowy back.
! ground, is with us, is the belief here
today. There is a spirit pe1vading the
capital that President Wilson will moi
retract an iota from the precise text
and spirit of his statement issued last
night in which he declared that the
pre-war secret treaties between Great
Britain and France, on the one hand
and Japan and Italy on the other
must be replaced by the treaty of
Versailles, for the simple reason that
the United States now is vitality in
terested and cannot be bound by
trades in which she had no part.
America is ready for any eventual
ity, with a vast, trained army intact,
every facility ready, and with most of
the gold of the world and bumper
crops in prospect. Thus it is believed
that rccalcitrant nations, inspired by
Germany and manifested by the ac-
tion Of Japan, Mexico and Italy, viii
pause before they conclude to take
up the gage.
The department of state was inter-
ested in the despatch from Meico tell
ing of the official fouting of the Mon
roe doctrine by the Mexican govern
ment, along with Mexican derision of
France. This, it is felt, on top of the
Japanese land and iron purchases in
Mexico, officially announced and then
partly qualified, brings matters dam
gerously near rupture.
Salvador Diego Fernandez, in
charge of the foreign office, last night
in Mexico City gave out this signed
statement:
During the discussion of the Mon
roe doctrine at the Paris peace confer
ence several countries which are
friends of Mexico asked this country
our opinion with regard to this doc
trine. The Mexican ministry of for
eign relations answered that the Mex
lean governments will not recognize
the Monroe doctrine nor any other
doctrine affecting the sovereignty and
independence of Meico." ae
Senor fernandez, discussing the fact
that France has not officially received
Alberto Pani, Mexican minister to
France, although France had said he
was persona grata, said instructions
had been sent to Senior PAM to quit
French territory at once, taking with
him the entire personnel of the Mexi-
can legation in Paris and go to Spain.
In the mean time reports of Jap
anese insults to Americans in the
Orient intensity the feeling of ag-
gravation felt in official circles In
quiry has been directed into the as
sault by a Japanese soldier upon /.
w. Glass at small town near Muk
den in Manchuria, where, while tran
sacting business in behalf of the
British American Tobacco Company,
he was attacked by soldier, arrested
and taken to Japanese military head
quarters, where after detention he was
released and told to appear before the
Japanese high military command.
Glass disregarded the summons, and
left the town. The point of it is that
Glass was not within the Japanese
sphere of the South Manchurian rail
way zone.

half hour before one o'clock. He
turned into Beacon Street and the
parade was on. Then Boston was
a continual cheering tumult until the
last man in khaki had passed Park
Square.
Thousands upon thousands of re-
latives and friends lined the thor
oughfares, many of them from out
of town. The Governor and all of the
state dignitaries were out to review
the troops. Mayor Peters was also
hand to express Officially the city's
honor. All kinds of delicacies were
pressed upon the boys along the line
of march.
The parade course covered about
five miles and the long line of figures
occupied the better part of the after
noon covering the distance.
The war is over in earnest for the
boys of the Yankee Division now.
Complete rehabilitation comes next.
But there are 1850 families for whom
the war will never be over. There
were 1850 missing faces in the long
line of march yesterday, which lent
the only touch Of sadness to the oc-
casion.

Seldom has the greatest New Eng

12 Negroes Are Locked in Death
 Cells at Capital

Little Rock, Nov. 22.-Heavily shackled and surrounded by 12 off cers, the 12 Phillips county negroes under death sentences for murder during the recent negro insurrection near Elaine, Ark, arrived here early today and were immediately taken to the state penitentiary.
 During the morning each was searched and given prison clothing and then locked in the death cells, next to the death chamber. Some of the negroes showed indications of fright while others were sullen and defiant. Sheriff F. F Kitchens, in charge of the men, said no trouble had been experienced during the trip here from Helena.
 When the sheriff and his officers left Helena late yesterday they had 87 prisoners. Seventy-five of them, with prison sentences ranging up to 21 years, were left at the state con-

 Six of the condemned negroes are under sentence to die December 27 and the other six January ?. It is considered unlikely that Governor c. Ii. Trough will heed requests of northern negro organizations for clemency.
 The negroes condemned to die are: Ed Ware, Ed Coleman, Ed Hicks, Frank Moore, Paul Hall, Albert Giles, Joe Knox, Frank Hicks. Joe Fox, Alfred Banks, Jr., John Martin and William Wordlow.
