100000 acres
 of Alaskan Land
 Opened for Entry

Anchorage, Alaska, May 22.-Ac- cording to the report of Alexander T. Vogelsang, acting secretary of the in terior, over 1,000,000 acres of agricul- thral land has been surveyed in the territory of Alaska to the end that it may be available for entry and patent under the public domain laws. A considerable portion of this land is within country traversed by or tribu- tary to the government railroad now being constructed in Alaska.
 Under the coal lands leasing law enacted in October, 1914, coal lands in the Boring River, Cook Inlet, Matanu- ska and Nenana coal fields have been divided into leasing blocks or units, ready for sale. The two last named fields are tributary to the government railroad.
 New townsites have been establish ed upon the public lands along the line of the railroad and lots for busi- ness and residential purposes disposed of through the Land and Industrial Department of the Alaskan Engineer inng Commission.
 As soon as arrangements are com pleted for traffic on the government railroad large numbers of settlers are expected to rush into the agricultural districts.

TRUTH TRAILING TRADITION.

It is commonly easier to create
 than to explode myth. This will
 explain why Secretary Daniels has
 been forced by, the Admiral Sims con- troversy to submit fact or two in
 exposition of the mythical nature of the tradition of President Roosevelt
 as the greaat practical exponent of pre-
 paredness, says the Post-Dispatch.
 When the world began to build sdreadnoughts during MT. Roosevelts full presidential term, 19O5-1909, the United States authorized six capita, 1 ships, while Germany built IS, Sec retary Daniels tells the senate inves- tigating committee During the fol- lowing four years of MT. Roosevelt's appointed successor, President Taft, the United States authorized six cap ital ships, while in the same time Germany authorized 12. The United
 States in that time dropped from sec ond to third place among the naval 2 powers yOI the eaTCn. MT. DanlelS Iur- ther quoted from President Roose- svelt's messages to show that the lat ter wished only to have the navy's s strength maintained and not increas- ed. On the other hand, it was shown 2 that from 1913 to 1917, when the Unit ssed States entered the war, there was Ia greater increase in the personnel z and power and efficiency of the navy
 than during any equal prior periad of { peace.
 These are the salient facts as s against the more or less popular le- gend of "preparedness" which Admi- s.ral Sims had ventured to repeat. They 8Iare simple and easy to remember. They represent truth stripped for the s trace to overtake particularly we'll aInurtured falsity of republican poli- Cities, and in time truth is certain to a]succeed.

THE COMING CONVENTIONS.

With the republican convention at Chicago less than fortnight away and the democratic convention at San Francisco soon to follow, the nomina- : ton in either organization is any bodys.
 General Wood has more pledged delegates than any other candidate sbut he has not enough to make his election certain. Attorney General Palmer has more pledged delegates
 chan any other democrat. He has \ dven less than Wood, and his chances of receiving the nomination are less than are the generals
 <I It is possible that both conventions eNill choose men who have done no campaigning. This will satisfy a great many leaders in both parties . 4ho have steadfastly pleaded for un- { Instructed conventions. The league, We have been told, will be the big is- xdue. Yet in certain quarters it is ev- i5ient that the league will not matter much. The situation in the conner scial and industrial world is going ? to have greater bearing.
 Those things that loomed as issues some months ago no longer hold the interest of the people. They were weak enough to begin with and have hqan talked tO death.

Southern Baptist
 Head Was Scout,
 With General Lee

Fort Worth, Tex, May 22.-The Rev. Dr. James Burton Gambrell, personal scout of General Robert k. Lee, for the fourth time has been elected president of the Southern Baptist Convention, the highest office to which Southern Baptist can aspire. The honor is fur ther enhanced by the fact that the un- written law of the church is that a president may serve but three terms.
 Doctor Gambrell, who received his fourth election at the recent Southern Baptist Convention in Washington City, has passed his 18th birthday. For the past ten years he has resided in Dallas as editor of the Baptist Standard, while, at the same time, he has acted as 'theologian of the South western Baptist Seminary, of Fort Worth.
 During the war between the states he was scout with the Confederate forces in Mississippi and Virginia and finally, through noteworthy ser vices was attached to the personal staff of the Southern commander-in- chief. During his 78 years he has been scholar, soldier, editor, author, teacher and preacher.

Fighting for Some Other Nation Does
 Not End Rights

Wheelinng, w. Va, May 22.-The right of an American to vote has not been forfeited if he has sworn allegi- ance to a foreign allied nation to aid in the prosecution of war, according to a recent rulin ngof Attorney Gen eral E. T. England, of West Virginia.
 The ruling was made in the case of Albert Marshall, of Wheelinng, who had been denied the right to vote be- cause he enlisted with the Canadian troops at the beginning of the world war. However, he joined the Ameri- can army when the first of the expe- ditionary forces arrived overseas
