terraHean.
Cruisers continued to scour the
coast Of Tunis however, while cavalry

Last Message Friday
At noon today, it was officials an

received from the Dixmude was
picked up at Blzerte at p. m. Fri
Gay.
1t gave the ships position as half
way between Biskra and Touggourt.
The Dixmude's commander reported
he was proceeding toward Algiers at
seventy kilOmeters an hour and asked
what the weather conditions were
The station 1T Bizerte flashed back
a warning of westerly gales but no
further word came from the Dixmude,

At that time the ship was headed east

Some aeronautical experts believe
that first violent storm may have
caused the DiNmude to explode and
crash to earth.
Officials of the ministry of marine,
however, still held to the view that the
dirigible drifted and came to earth
in the trackless wastes of the Sahara,
thousands of square miles of which
have never been traversed by white
men.

STATEHOOD FOR ALASKA BEING
 ADVOCATED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-Statehood for that part of Alaska lying south of the Arctic Circle and east of the 152nd meridian of longitude is advocated by Col. William B. Greeley chief forester of the United States, in report to the Secretary sof Agriculture in which he says that from the standpoint of the national forest administration and de- velopment, no happier step could be taken than admittance of that part of the Territory to the full rights of an American Commonwealth.
 "It seems to be generally accepted that the territory as whole is not ready for statehood" says Colonel Greeley, "but unquestionably that part lying east of the 152nd meridian and south of the Arctic Circle has the economic wealth and the stable, law abiding population which according to our historic policies and precedents have always been recognized by Con- gross as entitling continental terri tory and people to self-government in the Union. It is becoming evident that the solution of the Alaska prob lem is local self-government. Appar- ently what the people of Alaska want is not the power to run the Govern ment's business or property in Alas ka, but power to run their own busi- ness. They want to make their own laws, levy their own taxes, and spend their own public money just as do the people in the States. In short, what Alaska wants is not that the Union should be busted from the Territory, but that Alaska should be admitted to the Union."
 The encouragement and assistance given by the Department of Agricul- ture, through the Forest Service and Bureau of Public Roads in building up an export lumber trade, the basic work going forward for the estab- lishment of the pulp and paper in dustry, and the large expenditures which are being made on forest roads, together with a decentralized 1ooa1 ad ministration, Colonel Greeley says, are contributing largely to the growth and prosperity of the Territory.
 The roads being constructed in the national forests of Alaska in cO-opera- tion with the Bureau of Public Roads are proving a great factor in improv- ing business and living conditions in southeastern Alaska.
