WASHINGTON, July 10.-The skele- among the worlds leading naval pow CTS, will be kept ready for emcrgen- cies through development of reserve officers at naval camps throughout the country.
 A $3,000000 appropriation in the recent naval bill authorized the es- tablishment of camps for summer training in the navy, similar to those held by national guard units in two score states. The naval reserve force, so organized, will give training to 10000 men and 5000 officers, who will be ready at all times to Dc used in emergency combat service.
 The regular navy of S6,0O0 men will be far below the strength of re- cent years, but the officer personal will be maintained above the 4 per cent. ratio to be used as the nucleus of a greater and swiftly expanding force in event of war. On the new navy rolls there will be 4,431 officers, with much larger percentage than usual holding high positions.
 While there have been attacks on sthis policy both in the house and senate proponents of an adequate national defense contended it was provided in the interests of national safety. The 4,431 officers will give the navy 1000 more officers than it would obtain if the 4 per cent. rule were applied. A majority of these will be placed in higher grades, so that the men upon whose shoulders will fall the responsibility of high command in war shall have thor ough training in executive positions prior to actual war service.
 WOULD ELIMINATE HARDSHlPS.

M'BRIDE APPOINTED
 ON PROPOSED BOARD

John c. Mcbride, collector of cus- toms for Alaska, has been appointed to represent the Treasury Depart ment on the Interdepartmental Alas ka Council, according to advices re- ceived by him from Elmer Dover, assistant secretary. Charles D. Gar field was appointed as such repre- sentative several months ago, but left the government service before arrangements for the council had been completed.
 There has been no permanent or ganization of the council perfected up to the present time. Many of the departments and bureaus have ap- pointed representatives but the list is not complete. George A Parks is chairman of the organization. He called one meeting prior to his de- parture for the interior but it was decided not to perfect the councils organization until the list of repre- sentatives had been filed out, or those branches now unrepresented had been given an opportunity to make appointments. 2
 The councils membership will be composed of Territorial representa- tives of the various departments and bureaus and will have it's headquar- ters in Juneau.

LONDON, July 1.-The choice of the nations of the world is between disarmament or extermination.
 This startling statement is made by Major General Seeley. M. P, for mer minister of war for Great Bri- tain.
 General Seeley, who has a gallant war record as commander of Cana dian forces during the world war, declared that chemical knowledge has now reached such state of progress that extermination of ma tion is comparatively easy mat ter. It would now be an easy matte; to blot out hundred thousand peo- pie by lethal gas dropped from aero- planes, the general said.
 General Seeley proposed that the nations of the world should meet and consider what military forces are necessary, first, for internal or der; second, for colonial protection, and third, for safety from invasion by neighbors. This last is the criti- cal point General Seeley said, and he believes that if all nations were to rationally discuss together the immensity of the burden of taxes in cured by protecting themselves

PROGRESSIVE DISARMAMENT ONLY MEANS OF SAVING THE
 WORLD, SAYSFAMED GENERAL

aganst each other the nations would see the "horse, sense" of the situation and set up progressive disarmament for all.
 General Seeley's statements are ill., dorsed, by a coincidence, in the an nual message of the Quakers of Great Britain, which has been sent broad cast.
 The annual espistle of the Quakers declares:
 Mans boasted civilization will de- stroy him unless he takes the way of life in time. If, while mastering the forces of nature, he makes personal advantage the end and his brother men the means to it, he expresses them, frustrating Gods will for peace.
 If, fearing to lose his goods he turns his inventive skill to perfecting guns and poison gases he will as- suredly perish.
 Christ our Lord is nailed to the cross afresh whenever a man or a woman is crushed or marred by war by unemployment, by vice, by de- spair. He is pierced with grief as we hug our comforts, fearing to follow Him in loving unto death"

GOVERNMENT TO INACCURATE
 MANY NAVAL RESERVE CAMPS

officially, would eliminiate much of the hardships inflicted on the navy during the last war, when there ex- isted a dire shortage of experienced officers for the higher commands. The present officer force, it was ex- plained, would provide enough execu- tives to command navy of 131,000 immediately, with only the need of additional ensigns and junior lieu tenants, the two lowest grades in the navy.
 It was pointed out that when America entered the world war the navy had to make rapid promotions and had to train new men to fill the higher executive commands. With the present reserve force of 5000 trained officers and the 4,431 regu- lar officers, there would be enough execptives to direct a wartime navy of approximately 235,000 men, almost the strength of the navy at it's peak during the world war.
 This officer strength in wart time would be thoroughly trained in mod ern naval warfare, particularly the use of submarines, destroyers and aircraft. There would be sufficient material available to fill every ex- ecutive position with trained men and. to complete the round of fleet commanders without drawing on in- experienced men.
 The naval reserve, it was said, would also provide 10000 trained sailors to fill the on-commissioned posts among the enlisted personnel. This would eliminate another short age that developed during the world war. In short, the navy, while eff fecting great economies, will be on a thoroughly prepared basis for swift imitation in time of war.

PAGE DI0CENES!! AN HONEST
 POLITICIAN HAS BEEN FOUND

PITTSBURGH, July 12.-Diogenes might as well quit.
 The honest man has been found
 When Donald D. Mangone, defeated candidate for the republican legisla- tive nomination, filed his expense ac- count for the ante-primary campaign it was revealed that Mangone is the fellow that Diogenes long sought.
 Mangone conducted his campaign along the old-fashioned line of treat ing the boys" at public saloons" He and his friends walked right in the front door, hitched one foot up on the good old brass rail, motioned to the genial barkeep and turning to his friends said
 "Well, boys, what will you have? I'm buying the drinks"
 Twas familiar language also used in day before the eighteenth amend ment took effect The settings in the liquor establishment were unchanged It was used in one of those few sa- looms still scattered about Pittsburgh the survival of the fittest of those who held on after the country went dry.

Treating friends at Delkokowitz' s drug store, $4.50"
 The only thing Mangonen is silent about in his expense statement is as to what the boys had when he was treating them at the saloons. The public can think just what it pleases about the matter as far as Mangone is concerned.
 Anyhow, Mangone's expenses total led $313.95, and though he was honest he was defeated.
The Cordova daily times., 1922-07-12

The expense statement is unique in American politics because the esti- while candidate frankly tells what he did, whose saloon he visited and what the rounds of drinks for his friends cost him. All these things are sworn to in the statement which is on file at the courthouse here.
 The items of expense are set out thus in Mangone's statement:
 Treating friends at Fred Doench's saloon, $7.7G
 Treating friends at Bonnar's sa- loon, $5.S5.
 Treating friends at Rieffels sa- loon, $6.25.
 Treating friends at Fred GocEch's saloon, $5.50.
