CONGRESSMEN MAKE RECORD TRIP TO INFERIOR
MEMBERS DISPL AY LIVE INTEREST IN ALASKAN HOPES
LAWMAKERS ENJOY
 OUTING IN ALASKA

The members of the Congression- al party who made the trip to AL aska ss the guests of Secretary of War Weeks, arrived in Nenana at nine o'clock yesterday morning, hay ing made the trip from Seattle to Interior Alaska in the record time of Four and one-half days. The party left Seattle Friday night, June l, at nine o'clock, aboard the trans port Cambria, arrived at Seward on Tuesday by way of the Outside route, and came through to Nenana by special train with only brief stops enroute. The visitors spent yesterday afternoon and evening in Fairbanks and vicinity and passed through Nenana on the return trip to the coast at an early hour this morning.
 The visitors, among whom are some Of the most important men in Congress, were met at Seward by delegation of Alaska Railroad officials, headed by Col. Jas. c. Steese, chairman and chief engin- eer- of the Alaskan Engineering Commission, and by representatives of the towns of Seward. Anchorage and Fairbanks. The Nenana .delega- ton joined the party at Curry. Leaving Seward in a downpour of rain, the first encountered on the entire trip, the distinguished party was whisked away 10 Anchorage on one of the most imposing trains ev- CT assembled on the Alaska Rail road, made up of two new combina- tion observation and compartment ears, one of 1he regular observation and dining cars. three sleepers, and business car of the Commission, day coach and several baggage and utility cars.
 A brief stop was made al Anch- erage, where large delegation of citizens welcomed the visitors at the depot Another stop was made at Curry, of sufficient length to enable the travellers to take lunch and inspect the new railroad hotel which is one of the most imposing structures in the territory and in which the visitors displayed much interest. Two locomotives were used to pull the long train from Curry to Summit, al which latter point the grade begins to descend to Ne mana
 The early risers among the party, who made their first appearance as the train approached Healy. found the skies cleared and the surround ing mountains looming in all their grandeur. It was not until the train neared Nenana, however, that a glimpse could be obtained of Mt. Mckinley. Clouds and the semi darkness had combined to spoil the splendid view of the big mountain usually obtainable south of Curry.
 Upon arrival at Nenana the visit ors found large gathering of townsite people, headed by Mayor Frank Teufel and members of the city council, waiting to welcome them, and their brief stay here was made pleasant by little journeys 10 the points of interest about town with delegations of citizens eager to escort them and supply the insistent demand for information.

"A PPROXIMATELY all Of the

the Middle Ages. They describe
also the proposed use by the Brit
ish during the Crimean war rs

tory. which was published in 1920.
This book is a very scholarly
work, showing evidence of much
painstak1ng library research. The
greater part of 1t is devoted to re-
corded instances Of poisoning, or
supposed pOisonings, from the
earliest times, including the poi
soning of Socrates, the possible
poisoning Of Alexander the Great,
the use Of poison by the Romans,
and especially the account of the
notorious prisoners of the Middle
Ages, the Medicis and the Borgias.
With regard to the use of poi
sons in war much space Is devoted
to the use Of poisoned arrows and
other weapons by all peoples, saw
age and otherwise, who have been
known to use them. This type of
poison warfare is, however, Of no
present interest, and we can agree
with Levin that 1t is thoroughly
despicable, degenerate and utterly
oblivious to fairness. Since the
object Of war is to overcome the

cause a sufficient number of

With gas warfare, however,
there Is what might be called
sporting chance of defense. How
ever grim war may be, our state
of enlightenment should demand
that 1t be leavened with a grain
or two of craftsmanship. 1t was
this feeling which caused the first
effective gas attack of April %,
1915, to be such a shock to the
whole civilized world because Of
its deadly effectiveness against
the miserably unprepared allied
forces.
