BATTLESHIPS
IN WARFARE
NOW UPHELD

LONDON, Feb. 6--England has
been interested in a debate as to
whether the modern battleshil had
not been rendered obsolete by the
airplane. Admiral Mark Kerr took
the affirmative and viscount Curzon
the negative. The decision favored
the arguments of Curzon.
The Viscount contended that wheth-
error not the present type of capital
ship was obsolete depended on wheth-
er the battleship could be destroyed
by underwater boats or by aircraft
Jutland proved that the bomb and
torpedo had not gained ascendency
over the heavy gun. Gunfire had
an accuracy far above that of the
weapons of submarines or planes.
Experiments purporting to show that
the big ship was at the mercy of
lowering planes had been carried
out. but the target ship was an
obsolete one. and the test had been
carried out in fair weather and per-
feet water. The battleship still re-
mained the greater factor of naval
strength.
admiral Kerr's suggested large
aircraft carrier" Viscount Curzon
said, was just as vulnerable as
the big battleship, which after all.
could have its protective seaplanes."

INCREASED COST
CUTTING MINING
Alaskan Operators Testify in
Production Hearing
Held In Seattle.

SEATTLE, Feb 6.--Niehoias But
Ter, placer mine operator of Nome,
and Thomas c. Hathaway, assayer
of the United States assay office il
this city, testified that increased
cost of mine supplies and transpor-
tation, with decline in gold AMI
silver values, caused a slackenlr,
of production This testimony was
given before the two days hearing
of the government regarding gold
and silver production. The hearing
was concluded here last night by Ex-
aminer Haliton, of San Francisco.
A dozen others, all from Alaska,
gave testimony and their views were
similar to those expressed by both
Butler and Hathaway
Joslin Testifes.
Falcon Joslin, at the hearing. de-
clared the commerce of the United
States with Hawaii. the Philippines
and Porto Rico more than doubled
during the year ending in 1922
while commerce to Alaska remained
stationary.
Joslin said the reason is because
the Island Territories enjoyed au-
tonomous government which has
been denied Alaska"
Joslin asserted Harding, on his
trip made a mistake in assuming
Alaska was growing and con-
tihuation OF natural growth would
solve her problems. He claimed
operations of the government de-
creased the individual power.
Among the others testifying were
R. j. Cameron, of the Cache Creek
Mining Company, and e. A. Fox.
They generally agreed with other
witnesses that the working out of
higher grades necessitated stronger
financial backing and more uni
formed operations than the lower
grades, also that more and better
roads were needed for Alaska.
