COMMITTEE FOR
 DEFENSE TEST" IS
 NAMED BY GOVERNOR
ROBERTSON HEADS THEREFOR IAL COMMITTEE TO ARRANGE
 FOR OBSERVATION
Duncan Empire)

To make arrangements for Alaska s participation in the national "Defense Test" Governor Scott c. Bone has ap- pointed, at the request of Major Gen. eral C. c. Morton, Commander of the Ninth Army Corps Area, Central Mobilization Committee composed of R. E. Robertson, Chairman, Mayor l. Goldstein, Juneau, Mayor M. J. Null vihill Skagway, Mayor Karl Bjorn- stad, Haines, Mayor L. V. Ray, Sew ard and Mayor M. J. onroy, Anchor age. Defense Test" has been des- ignated by the Secretary of War for September 12, next, and is expected to be national mobilization demonstra- tion which will serve as an occasion for the assemblies and ceremonies in volving public manifestations of loyal ty and patriotism.
 Recently Governor Bone was asked by General Morton to appoint a cen tral committee to formulate plans for such general mobiligation which will include all units of the Army, State Guards, constabularies, reservists, civ ic and war veteran societies, etc. thru out the entire country. The secretary of War has asked that the civil au- thorities take hold of the suggestion and work out plans which will make it a success.
 The underlying motive of the mob ilization, it is said, is to test the na- tion's military defense policy as estab- lshed in 1920 which calls for small standing army and large number of organized reserves and Federally rec ognized National Guards. The mobi- lization will be carried out, without expense to the Federal government, exactly as if the country were assemb ling it's forces to repel invasion.
 September 12 was decided upon for the mobilization in honor of the real first American offensive on the Allied front in France, being the sixth ami versary of the battle of St. Mihiel. It is hoped that every town, city, mili- tary post or camp and other commun- ity in the entire country will aid in making the occasion a success.
 Alaska has no state guards or or ganized army reserves of any kind and, as pointed out by Gov. Bone to Gen. Morton, this makes it a some what difficult plan. He has suggested that it will be possibly confined to the Anchorage Barracks and Chilkoot Barracks with co-incidental of the day in Territorial schools. The members of the committee appointed for Anchor age viii corporate with Maj. Byronl for a suitable observance of the day there.
