SMOKER GIVEN BY BOAT CREWS VAS
 ELABORATE AFFAIR
SHOOTING, BOXING BOUTS, cLEV- FER DANCING AND BAND
 CONCERT ATTRACTIONS

The smoker given last evening by the officers and men of the Presiden- tial fleet were greatly enjoyed by the large number who attended. It was one of the best of the many functions rendered the citizens during the four days stay of the fleet, and one which appealed to everyone.
 The first event was the 200 yard shoot between members of the crew and civilians. The shoot was won by Pvt. Roth, with score of eight out of a possible of 15. Other marksmen who participated and their scores, were Sgt. Smelser, 8; Cpl. Ackert, 4; Pvt. Benes, O; Pvt Birch, 0; Pvt. Rowe, 0; Pvt. Danielson, 4; Pvt. En- brey, 0; Hill 4; Pvt. Roth (winner), 8; Dr. Braafladt, l; MT. Simpson, 0; Mr. Norman, 0; MT. Bolam, 5; MT. Lean, l; MT. Simon, 0; MT. Hutsch- midt, 0.
 The pistol shoot was called off on account of no entries.
 A large crowd assembled on Fourth avenue at 6:30 to witness the eight boxing events between men from the rival boats, including participants from the Guyana, which was in port. Lack of space forbids mentioning the events in detail, but they were many opponents of the fistic art, and the ex- hibitions were greatly enjoyed. The band gave some excellent music and some clever dancing by Jake Gold stein of the U. s. s. Henderson fin- ished the program.
 The purses for the occasion were donated by the city and business men of Seward.

 FOREIGN RELATIONS

CONSTRUED AS A CHALLENGE TO OPPONENTS OF HIS WORLD
 COURT PLAN

VALDEZ, July 20.-President War ren G. Harding arrived here yesterday at 3 o'clock, the party being taken to Keystone Canyon, and afterward en- tertained at the Tillicum Club. In a short address delivered to the people of Valdez the President announced he would discuss our foreign relations in his San Francisco speech, July 31, which is construed as a challenge to Senator Johnson, bitter opponent of the world court in his own state.
