OFFICERS DIFFER
ON NAVAL BATTLE
AIR SERVICE UPHELD BY AD-
MIRAL MoFFETT.-OFFICERS
ATTACHED TO FLEET CALL
AIRPLANE ATTACK FAILURE.
VESSEL IS TORPEDOED.

Norfolk Va. Sept. 28.-O:ame-
trically opposite opinions developed
among observing officers as the re-
suit of the manueuvers off the
Virginia Cape this morning when
torpedo planes searched out three
ships of the Atlantic fleet and the
oretically destroyed one of them.
Seven hits were registered out
of the seventeen torpedoes dis
charged all finding their mark on
the Arkansas" ..
In the opinion of Rear Admiral
w. A. Moffett, chief Of naval air
service, Commander T. G Ellison,
of the air service, Navy Department
and Col. H. C. Danforth, army air
service, commandant of Langley
Field, Virginia, the test was Sues
cessful in all respects, demonstrate
ing they claimed, that planes equip
ed with torpedoes can successfully
attack batttleships from the surface
especially if protected by smoke
screen or fog.
But naval officers attached to
the fleet contend that todays ex-
periments only proved that the
planes are effective only with a
limited radius from their base and
that the two equadrons could have
been annhilated before reaching
striking distance of the detrad-
naught had the battleshirs been
protected by the usual screens of
destroyes, They also contend that
the secondary batteries of the war
ships under battle conditions could
have blown to atoms every plane
before it had an opportunity to dis
charge its destructive cargo.
: Eighteen planes participated in
the mimic battle, but one failed to
discharge it's missile. The test was
staged under ideal weather condi-
tions.

CONSTANTINE QUITS
THRONE Of GREECE
cAbaNET HAS RESIGNED, MAR
TiAL LAW IN EFFECT-THUS
FAR GREEK REVOLUTION HAS
BEEN BLOODLESS-WARSHIPS
ARE SEIZED.

London, Sept. 28.-Greece is in
the Yhroes of revolution which
has already caused the downfall of
the government and according to
seyesA reports from Athens, has
foced the unhappy Constantine to
abdicate in favor of the crown
prince, thus losing his throne for the
secoaS time in five years.
The revolutionary movement
which is said to be led by General
Gonatas is making headway in all
directions, but thus far without re-
ports Of bloodshed, insurrection while
not altogether unlocked for, broke
out in formidable force with unex-
pected suddenness, had its inception
among the vanquished troops
brought from Smyrna to the islands
of Mytilene and Chios and among
the soldiers at Saloniki. Strangely
enough, however, the two revolts
seem to have had different objects
the foantr aimed at the overthrow
Af Hs Hdpernment and King Con-
seantine and the latter at the de-
tense of Thrace.

: London, Sept. 2S.-Greece is in
the grip of a revolutionary move
ment and King Constantine is re-
ported to have abdicated.
At least part of the navy has gone
against the government and several
warahips and transports manned by
revolutionaries are believed to be
advancing on the capital from the
Aegean islands, where the revolt or
iginated.
Direct advices> from Athens are
lacking, indicating that censorship is
in effect but the report of Constan-
tines abdication has persisted since
the last dispatches, telling of the
cabinets resignation and the ap-
proach Of a crisis was received late
last night.
The revolutionary movement is
headed by an officer named Gonatas
who organized the soldiers on the
island OF Mytilene and Chios, off the
Smyrna coast. An order for the de-
mobilization of these troops is said
have been the immediate cause OF
his mutiny.
ORcial circles here believe form.
er Premier Venizelos has had NO
part in the revolt. Because of his
Importance, however, and his large
personal following in Greece, it is
pointed out, he will hardly be able
to avoid figuring in subsequent de,
velopments.

Present advices are that the rail- way from Controller Bay to the Ka- talla coal fields will be completed by July 1, 1923, and it is believed that next year Alaska anthracite coal will be offered on the markets here. Bat tleships of the Pacific fleet are now making steaming tests of Alaska bi- luminous coal from the Matanuska field and anthracite from Bering riv- CT. Alaskans who are familiar with the situation contend that 3O.0O0 tons of coal had been booked on the Pacific Coast and steamship rates had been pledged guaranteeing a profit on Alaska coal in competition with Canadian coal. This was de- pendent upon construction of a three mile spur into a known coa! field.

What Will the Outlook Say

(Railway and Marine News)
 We note in the Alaska papers that the Outlook, a New York magazine, has had man in the territory gath ering data from which to compile articles showing what is the matter with Alaska. The New York pub fisher, of course, is to be commended for this move and those interested will await the articles with pleasu- rable anticipation. The Outlook, eleven years ago this summer ran a series of articles in which Dick Ryan was deified, Controller Bay was made a port of physical supe- riority and Clifford Pinchot was up- held. The Outlook's grave error was first answered by the late J. P Park inson, at that time editor of Railway & Marine News, in a full page edito- rial, appearing August 1st. Later in the summer and fall the Daily Alas kan of Cordova printed series of articles addressed to The Outlook and the New York publication as we'll as other papers and public of- ficials were forced to drop Dick Ryan and the whole Controller Bay bubble. Later the Outlook started another series of articles in which its former editorial stand on Controller Bay was ignored. In the Cordova Alaskan of January 29, 1912, is found a commendatory editorial cap tioned Change to Policy of Fair ness. Our files have many clippings from the "Pinchot Press" of that and other periods, all of which makes in- teresting reading at this particular time and which greatly adds to the speculation over the forthcoming Outlook articles. The Pinchot poli- cies have prevailed since 1906 and a railroad has been completed, but let the Outlook mark this well-Canadi- an coal and American lumber are in this year of 1922 still going into the territory which Pinchot said had all most an inexhaustible supply of tim Der and coal. The Outlook was one of the chief editorial packers of Pin chot and now when the black pail of Pinchotism has stifled the territory it is wondered how that paper can treat the Alaska problems in the face of its sponsorship of Clifford Pinchot and the wholly ridiculous attitude it ediorially placed itself in over the Dick" Ryan-Controller Bay fiasco of eleven years ago this summer.

Forest Service
 Roads Approved
 ByE. Sherman

As a result of his inspection of Forest Service road projects in and in the vicinity of the Tongass and Chugach national forests, Associate Forester A. E. Sherman has endorsed without qualification the road pro- gram adopted by District Forester Charles A. Flory and given assur- ances that he will aid in securing continued allotments of funds for carrying out and extending this pro- gram, according to statement made by MT. Flory in the Juneau Empire. MT. Flory returned last week from the south end of the division after accompanying Mr.Sherman to Prince Rupert.
 MT. Sherman not only approved our program and each project indi- vidually, but he assured me that he would oppose any effort that may be made to divert Forest road funds from the National Forests and the districts in which they are located in Alaska said MT. Flory. On the trip MT. Sherman, the District Pores ter and CIV. Cheatham, Assistant District Engineer of the Bureau of Public Roads, covered $500 miles by beat, automobile and railroad. They visited every project on which work iS in propraSs and Q numbor of the contemplated undertakings. In the Tongass National Forest alone 1000 miles of the Territory were covered on the Tahn. "Mr. Sherman made the most complete inspection ever undertaken of the Forest Sery- ices job in the North and went back to Washington with a better under standing of the needs of costal Al aska for good roads and an enlarged program of construction" said MT. Flory.
 The Associate Forester does not underestimate the great need for roads in Interior Alaska, for feeders to the Alaska Railroad, but he also does not overlook their importance in the development of the communi- ties and districts in that portion of Alaska in which the Forest Services holdings predominate, according to Mir. Flory. MT. Sherman not only satisfied himself that the present funds available needed to build roads in the National Forests districts but there is need for more funds than the Forest Service have to expend.
 MT. Flory and MT. Cheatham plan to make trip up the Unuk river this month with a view of determining the adyisability of opening up that section to prospectors by trail build ing.

FLOWERS

Flowers are ephemeral things. Only a few fleeting days do they live. But consider how beautiful is their short life!
 They don't run after bootleggers; all they want is water.
 They don't have to listen to po- litical mud-slinging.
 No flower was ever yet slain by another flower on account of the un- written law.
 The hyacinth never whispers to the narcissus that the Easter Lily. Is not so spotless as it would have neighbor flowers think.
 Pa Tulip never sits up all night playing poker while Ma Tulip sheds tears over a good man gone wrong.
 The sunflower never talks about the moonflower because it does it's blooming work after night fall.
 And if one flower runs to seed. all the other flowers don't lift up their protesting petals in virtuous indignation over this evidence of de- generation.
 Flowers are not envious of Sol omon in all his glory, as one human being is envious of another human being whose bank account is bulky.
 The wild flower doesn't accuse the domestic plant of being in a state of peonage.
 The Sacred Lily does not offer up pharaisaical prayers that are self laudations, as some human beings have been known to do.
 Flowers just glow and grow and fill the world with abounding beauty
 Which is an object lesson to us who wear trousers or go clad in skirts.
