 Give Local Authority.
 k Because of the distance it is i'm portant that representatives of the Federal Government on the ground in Alaska should have the greatest possible authority consistent with the sound administration of Gov ernment affairs The Department of Agriculture has recognized this and has granted such authority to its representatives in Alaska to the full practical limit of the authority granted the Department itself. Nine ty per cent of the work of the na- tional forests is handled locally without reference to the Department at Washington or elsewhere. Only in the case of questions of large importance involving heavy expen ditures or investments, or new and urtried plans or policies, do we re- quire reference to the Department at Washington. This also applies to the work of the Biological Survey and to. the management of the agri- cultural experiment stations. The work the department does for Alaska is mostly controlled by it's represen- tatiyes in Alaska, while from Wash ington we furnish technical advice and special assistance for limited periods, thus making available to Alaska the full knowledge of a de. pertinent which has been said to be the greatest scientific Department of Agriculture in the world.

GERMANY LIKELY
TO ENTER LEAGUE

GENEVA, June 21.-Germany is
not a member of the league of ma
tions. but she is enjoying practically
all the benefits of actual member
ship, and is participating in every
possible league activity without
responsibilities or expenses.
Virtually the only difference is
that the central power lacks officinl
representation on the council and
In the assembly. Germany has reg
istered more treaties with the league
than has any other nation except
England and France.
As a result of Berlin's interest in
the league and her desire to live up
to the obligations of membership,
1t is generally believed that her
actual entrance at the next as
sembly in September depends en-
tirely upon her own wishes.

at hearing Of the House Rules

Yesterday when william H. Ander-

ed Mr.. Dinwiddie's Betrayal of Pro-
hibition."
While an employe of the league,
says Mr.. Anderson, Mr.. Dinwiddie
received much credit for league vic
tories because Of the aggressive
ness of league men throughout the
country, while allowing Mr.. Dinwid-
die to pose at Washington as a
diplomat" The statement continues:
"Aiy Of Wets."
Mr.. Dinwiddie's position with the
league was absolutely untenab'e.
Now he is back in the prohibition
fight as a de facto ally of the vets
If IL becomes pertinent. l have the
facts to show that this Is not the
only instance where he has tried
to sacrifice the cause of prohibition
