He has an honorable discharge from the U. s. army with excellent char acter. MT. Anderson is curious to know just what it takes to consti- tute an American citizen in Ketchi- kan.

HECKMAN'S POLICY.

"I have been sincerely urged for the past several months by my friends throughout the Territory to announce my candidacy for the of flee of national committeeman on the Republican ticket" said Senator ]. R. Heckman, of Ketchikan, re- gently, in consenting to the use of his name in the forthcoming primary election. "I have heretofore told my friends that I have no political aspirations and desire no office. but preferred to serve in the ranks of the party. My ambitions do not lie in this channel, and in accepting am really sacrificing my policy. My desire is always to further the interests of the Republican party, and I believe that my efforts in this respect will bear me out. How ever, the pressure, coming as it does from every division in the Ter ritory, makes it practically impossi- ble for me to refuse. In fact, my friends have taken the matter out of my hands and demand that 1 allow my name to be entered as d candidate in the coming primaries. I am going into the race reluctantly and with the distinct understanding that 1 am bound by no promises, nor am I under obligations to any individual or set of individuals, eX cept to use my influence always for the best interests of the party. If elected to the office of national com mitteeman, representing the Terri tory of Alaska, l will endcavor to secure the appointment of men to office best suited for the position, regardless of personal feelings; at the same time recognizing the wishes and expressed opinions of the Re publican organizations from the par ticular districts. My plan is to work in harmony with such organi- cations with the idea in view of ever strengthening the party in the Territory. l will devote my time and attention to the duties of the office and sincerely believe that throughout the Territory the Re- publican organizations should be careful in the selections of candi- dates for the legislature and other elective offices.
 "I will cooperate with my con stituents in all matters pertaining to the party's good and use nay influ- ence to secure the election of the candidates nominated at the Repub- lican primaries.

Britain Sees Little
Hope for Treaty
Till After Election
United States Senate Even
tually Will Ratify Pact
and Join League of Ma
tons, Newspapers Believe
Special Gable to The Tr;buxo


LONDON, March 23.--Whatever rea-
son for the apparent indifference Of the
British when the first news of the
treaty's defeat reached them, it is Gp-
parent that they are now kcenly awak-
ened to tho Importance ct the situa-
ton, and they are awaiting President
Wilson's next move with considerable
concern.
Some criticism of tho President and
the Senate is rather sharp, but as a
rule most Of the critics take rather
hopeful view, expressing the opinion
that eventually the United States will
join the league Of nations. The very
fact that American interests are in
volved in every phase of European af-
fairs compels her, they believe, to
work with them. Most British observ-
ers of American affairs are resigned to
further long delay, and thew see no
possible settlement before the Novem-
Der election.
Every shade of American opinion in
the treaty fight has its counterpart
here. There are those who consider
the treaty too lenient, those who be-
lieve it far too drastic, those who OPP
pose the league Of nations as med
dlesome and powerless body. those who
applaud the Senate, those who con-
denim it.
Hoover's Influence Urged
"The Westminster Gazette" cannot
see how America can be in the league

and be independent Of Europe, but It
hopes that America will Join, adding
mo one need cavil at the delay IL firm
in the conviction that this ia para
mount need of the world. II SO, the
rest will follow, and follow all the
more surely because the decision has
been taken deliberately by the Amcri-
can people and not merely by their Sem
ate or their President. But, in the
mean time, we'd ask Hoover, who
knows the present state Of Europe bet
ter than any man, to use his influence
so the economic measures SO urgently
needed by millions who are on the
verge OF starvation shall not be held
up indefinitely by action Of the SEN
ate"
The effect Of the treaty fight on in
ternational relations is handled by
The Globe" as follows:
The method by which the treaty
mas been wrecked is not less discred-
liable than the purpose by which the
Wreckers were inspired. It has been
cone by representing America as the
dupe. OF France and England, the dupe
whose blind strength will be utilized
to bolster up French imperialism and
British oppression. There is not a
Senator who cast vote against the
treaty who doesn't know France cher
she's no imperialistic designs and that
Britain is not the oppressor but Tue
savior of the people over whom and
with whom she rules.
yet the action of the Senate has
made these fictions necessary factors

passions will be excited and i'll feeling

Free Armenia Proposed

PARIS, March 23.--The Supreme
Council in London recently decided to
offer the protection Of the league Of
nations to an Independent Armenia,
which would comprise Russian Armenia
and certain of the territories taken
from Turkey. Armenia would not have
an outlet to the sea, but would use the
international port Of Batun.
The "Temps," commenting on the ac-
tion Of the council, says the only OBJ
lection to this solution is the question
of the authority which would be vested
in the league of nations in case it
should be called upon to command re-
spect for the independence of Armenia.
No satisfactory statement on this sub
ject has been made up to the present,
the newspaper adds.

Two Measures Already In

From TIE Tri5ume's TaslA;wotow Bxrean
WASHINGTON, March 2s.-Consid-
Grafton Of resolution establishing
separate peace with Germany will be
started at once by the Foreign Affairs
Committee Of the House Of Representa-
tives.
Representative Porter, Of Pennsyl-
vania, chairman of the committee, after
a conference to-day with Senator Lodge,
Of Massachusetts, chairman Of the For
eign Relations Committee of the Senate,
announced that q meeting of the House
committee will be called for tomorrow
or Thursday, at which the work of
drafting the proposed resolution will
be begun.
The situation In both houses Of Con-
gress regarding the adoption of such
resolution was discussed at length by
Senator Lodge and Representative Por-
ter.
Senator Lodge said that little diff
Guilty is anticipated in obtaining the
adoption of peace resolution in the
Senate. Numerous forms of such a
resolution have been proposed in the
House, however, and it was decided at
the conference to-day to have the
House committee work out the draft of
a resolution that would receive the
united support of the Republicans in
the House before the resolution is
brought into the Senate.
Chairman Porter announced that the
committee will consider the Tinkham
resolution and the Britten bill, which
already have been introduced in the
House. These will be used as the
basis for the draft Of the resolution
that will be reported to the House.
The Tinkham resolution, introduced
Immediately after the senate failed to
ratifv the treaty and sent the pact back
TO the President last Friday, follows
substantially the form of the Knox
resolution in the Senate. 1t repeats
the declaration of war, expresses the
concern of the United States whenever
the peace of Europe may be threatened
and provides for the carrying out Of
the American economic interests of the
rejected treaty.
The Britten bill, introduced yester-
day, would create an American trade
council, to be composed CT the Presi-
dent and the Secretaries of State,
Treasury, Commerce and Labor, who
would be instructed to work out Anne T.
lean economic problems that have re-
suited from the war and from the fail
ure of the treaty in the Senate.
