FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July 10
Having reached the northern end of
steel rail transportation, President
Harding proposed today to go far
ther into the interior of Alaska by
automobile. About the time people
in Washington are having dinner to-

dent and Mrs. Harding and a portion
of their party will start from here
on an automobile trip of ninety, miles
over Richardson trail to Mccarty. on
the Tenana river. The ride will take
five hours.
IL was, originally planned that the
presidential party should go over the
trail. 372 miles. TO Chitina, and there
take the Copper River and North
western railroad to the port OF Cor
dova. but the trip was abandoned as
possibly too strenuous, much to the
regret of Mrs. Harding, who has been
urging It.
VIII Take River ship.
AS now planned. the party on
reaching McCarty. will go aboard a
river steamer for Nerana. where. on
Tuesday evening. they will board a
train for twentyfour-hosur trip
back over the government Abroad to
Seward. Secretary wallace and Chief
Greeley. however, will make the en-
tire trail trip.
The presidential party arrived here
last night-last night in point of
time only, though, for. although 1t

shining. and it never got dark, as the
days here now are twenty-four hours

builders.

Marine Leader Demands

by IL O'Clock Tonight. I

Diplomatic relations and the good
will of two of the fighting s. nvices
of Uncle Sam are nearing the break
ing point. 1t is an. impendi h war
over the battle of the grid Aron. in
which the Marine Corps. Through
Brig. Gen. Smedley u. Butter, COM
manding the marine east Scoast ex-
peditionary force at QuaJ tico. had
laid down the ultimatuIs that his
fighting unit will not u .ay second
fiddle to any one, not ev9a a gridiron
battle between the tear6 of Annap-
oils and West Point.
Gen. Butler made thef last move, in
which he has given &c n. Muir, COM
manding the Sd Corr g Area with
headquarters in Baltf more until IL
o'clock tonight to c} imply with an
ultimatum agreeing u, take the game
from Baltimore. Md. next year IL the

Gen. Butler. and tR ey have f,foisaisad
that II they once y Ike the game from

CO n. Butler wrote to Cen Muir. in
" ting his attention to the condi-
y oans.
He pointed out. it was learned. that
7 sis was the Marines year to select
=, he place for the game and they were
willing to play in Baltimore. but in
view of the probability that the Army
Navy game would be held there the
! following year, he suggested an agree
ment whereby the Army would transfer
the game to this city or some other
eastern point To this came the reply
that next year was the Army's choice
and they would select the place, and
that 1t would be Baltimore.
Then the ultimatum, in true mill
tary terms, that unless there was an
agreement the Army Marine Corps
game would not be in Baltimore this
year, and once 1t is taken away there
would be an awful battle to get back
there ever again.
It was a real ultimatum. There will
be no time for procrastination, for
Gen. Muir must answer Gen. Butler
by midnight tonight. And IL he re-
serves the right to run the game next
year in Baltimore and play second
fiddle to the Army-Navy game. then
there Is a likelihood that Washington
always will have the game in the flu
ture.

HIGHER PRESSURE,
FIRE CHIEFS PLEA
Watson Also Asks Pay Raise
for Men and New Equip
ment Next Year.

The Washington fire department
needs three things to put it, in first
class condition, in the opinion of
Chief George S. Watson. They are:
A system Of high-pressure hydrants
in the business area.
New apparatus to replace eight
wornout tractor engines.
An increase in salaries to enable
the department to get high-type
class of men.
The chief expressed these views
upon returning to duty this morning
from a brief leave of absence. Chief
Watson is planning to take an ex-
tended trip for his health next month
after he has completed the fire de-
partment estimates.

urging it we should not lose sight of

company left, and that will be motor
ized soon. But it must not be for
gotten that some of our original motor
engines have now been in service more
than a decade. They are old-style
tractors"
Touching on the salary question, the
chief pointed out that for the first time
in the history Of the fire department
there are jobs vacant, without a wait
ing list Of applicants. There are eight
cen positions untitled.
The chief ascribes this situation to
the fact that the kind of men who are
