Bonus On Gold

The action of the International Mining Congress
Isitting in Seattle few days ago. and of the Ameri
can Mining Congress- which met at st. Louis last
fall in favor of bonus gold are powerful argu-
ments in the Other mining organizations and
boards of trade and leagues in every mining center
are rolling up their support to the idea
The proposition is not only to get a bonus
on gold produced but also to tax gold used in
manufacturing such degree that it will help
largely to pay the bonus.
Yukon is vitality interested in keeping it's gold

While the Yukon Council is in session timely
sideraton might be given by that body the fact
that during the present summer experiments to
be made extensive scale in the matter OF
flight with airpiane and drigbles in the northern
part of this continent. An aerial is planned to
take place along the Alaskan coast reports were
received some time ago of proposed flight with
dirigibes from New York to Winnipeg thence to
Hazelton, thence to Whtehorse and on past Dawson
to Nome
Dr. Alfred Thompson last year made urgen-
appeal to Parliament to consider the needs of the
Yukon for a quicker and closer communication and
urged an aerial route be established to give service
to Mackenzie river Arctic and Yukon valley
points He pointed out the great service the same
would be to prospectors, miners trappers and Others
in the North in the way of quick mail deliveries
and other rapid communications. Yukon should have
the best of service possible in respect the mails
and in all other matters. The Council could make
timely move now by passing memorial in favor
of aerial service for Yukon.

the reduction. Merchants were
forced to turn over their goods in

DANIELS RAPS
CRITICISM OF
Navy OFFICERS
Tells Senate He Did Take Adequate
Steps to Increase Navy Person.
mel Before U. 5. En.ered.

Washington, May 20.-Secretary
Daniels replied to the criticisms OF
naval officers that he did not take
adequate steps to secure sufficient
personnel for the navy before the
United States entered the war. He
told the senate committee investi-
eating the navy's conduct of the
war tnat efforts to link his personal
policies in 1914 with the world war
mad been "abortive."
He had been criticised by Rear
Admiral Fiske and other officers be-
cause in 1914 he only asked con-
gress for enough men to fill the
peace compliments of the ships, MIR.
Daniels SAID, although he was only
following recommendations of the
general board, made in conformity
with established policies of the de-
partment
Reports Navy Record.
Mr.. Daniels reviewed at length
all Of the personnel legislation dur
ing his term of office and told the
committee that what the navy did
in enrolling and training young
men during the world war has had
no precedent in any navy during
the last or any previous war.
The British navy, he said, totaled
415,lb2 officers and men when the
armistice was signed, against 520,-
021 for the United States.
In May. 1916, the general board
recommended 100000 men for ac-
tivities in the Atlantic, Mr.. Daniels
said. In August of that year he
recommended and congress author
lied just 10000 less than that num-
ber, he declared.
Need Of Larger Roll.
1t was not until alter the United
States entered the war that it be-
came evident that preparations
must be made on a much larger
scale than 100000 men, Mr.. Daniels
said
Efforts of Admiral Fiske to con-
vey to the committee an impression
that the secretary directed the gen.
eral board in 1914 to cut out GER
tain recommendations with regard
to the personnel were unjust to the
board and to him, Mr. Daniels said.
He did not ask for large increase
in personnel in the navy, he said,
because he did not believe congress
or the country was disposed to
spend the money necessary.
Tribute to Blue.
Mr.. Daniels paid tribute to the
work of Rear Admiral Victor Blue,
former chief of the bureau of navi-
CATION, and read letter from that
officer denying emphatically Rear
Admiral McKean's statement to the
committee that shortage of navy
personnel was largely due to an
error made by Admiral Blue in 1915
in estimating the compliments of
ships.

u. S. TIRED OF
| HAVING TOLOOK
IN AT KEYHOLE
American Voice in Spa
Conference Needed to
Guard Interests.
By DAVID LAWRENCE,
Especial to The Argus,)

Washington. D. c., May 2O.-The
United States government may be
officially represented at the meet
ing between the allies and Germany
at Spa where it is expected that a
definite sum will be fixed which
the Germans will be obligated to
pay as war indemnity.
Although America has not rati-
fed the peace treaty under which
the reparations commission was to
determine the amount of German
indemnity and America was
specifically designated for member
ship in that commission, question
has ben raised here whether it
would not be within the jurisdic-
tion and power Of President Wilson
to appoint a plenipotentiary to sit
in at these most important meet
ings.
If. it is contended, the president
could appoint commission to
negotiate peace, he can appoint a
commission or an envoy to dis
cuss further with the enemy the
working out Of the terms of the
armistice. All the meetings thus
far in Europe have been between
the associated powers and Ameri-
can diplomats have been unofficial
observers" without any opportun-
ity to participate in the discussions.
Tire of Humiliation.
Officials here are getting tired of
the humiliation of having European
governments discuss affairs vital to
Americas economic welfare with
American representative looking
in through the keyhole" as one OF
the treasury officials phrased it.
Strictly speaking. the president
has an important decision to make
in connection with the Spa con-
ference, for Germany really signed
the peace treaty and consented to
the vesting of big powers in the
reparatiOn commission on the ex-
pectation that America would be a
member Of that body. The presi-
dent asked Senator Lodge to CO.
operate in approving the appoint
ment of an American representa-
tive for the reparations commits
sion, but the Republican leader
published the presidents letter and
took no further action.
1t would not be surprising to find
the president adverting to this in
cident again when he returns
the treaty Of Versailles to the sen
ate for action. Cablegrams from
abroad within the last week have
told of the various plans and
schemes which are being concocted
abroad to cancel or postpone the
payment of the allied debt to the
United States. None of these plans
has the slightest chance of being
accepted either by the executive
branch of the government or con-
gress, which body must approve
any change in the existing status
of our foreign debt. But, it Is
pointed out. the United States could
save the allies considerable time
