Had they all taken to casting stones over their shoulders and kept it up steadily for union hours, they could never have called human beings into existence as rap. idly as they have been doing it by their colonial economic policies. With their backs turned and their eyes yelled to the consequences, they have cast their influence across thousands of miles and have unwit- tingly brought about in the distant | tropics a population increase more than twice as rapid, on the average as that in their own home countries. During the last sixty years the peo- ples in the tropical colonies and de- pendencies of the great nations have added to their numbers 1O5, 1000, 00O-a twelfth of mankind sixty years ago and nearly equal to the present population of the United States in size; yet a population un- Willed and unheeded, a by-product, so to speak, of capitalistic indus try in the tropics.
 During forty years of British rule in Egypt-1S82-1922-the pop ulation doubled~ In the Nile Valley today there are not far from 1000, 900 souls who might regard the British as their godfathers.

 With all the natural resources in Alaska, why is it that the popula tion does not grow? It will do the reader we'll to study the situation in Alaska and compare to other coun- tries and even sections of the United States. THERE'S A REASON.
 Importation of foreign labor and disregard for the future of natural resources, giving special favor to these industries over residents only makes impossible the earning ofl sufficient money to satisfy more than a bare existence. Discontent- ed residents moving to the States where they are assured of longer and steadier working season does not populate the territory.
 It is time thinking men awaken ed to this fact.

y. c.. Naval Reserve

The first annual sea cruise of the
local Naval Reserve aboard the u. S.
Destroyer Allen, their training ship,
will be held from July 2 to July 10;
the second from July % to August s
and the third from August 13 to Au.
gust 27. The Baltimore. Md, Reserves
will come to Washington to board the
Allen and will cruise with the local
reservists, as they did last year.
The vessel will leave Washington
on the first date and proceed to the
vicinity of Long Island, where 1t will
report to the commandments OF
the scouting fleet and will maneuver
with it during the whole period. The
local seamen will be taken to some
port in the vicinity Of New York or
New London for the first cruise, the
place to be selected by the scouting
fleet commander However, the Navy
Department has already ordered that
the second Sunday of each cruise pc.
Rod shall be spent at New York City,
to which the vessel will go on the Sat
urday afternoon before.
With the increase in personnel of
the local reservists under the new re-
gime, it is expected that many more

than ever before, and on each cruise.
with the Baltimore contingent also
along, 1t is expected that the Allen
will carry her full complement of Of
ficers and men.
The matter of holding target prac-
tice has not been decided yet, although
the reservists and some officials in the
department are urging 1t. Officers of
the fleet have opposed it, but the word
has been sent to them that 1t will
raise the esprit of the Reserve to per-
nit them to fire the guns on the
cruises Heretofore their work has
been confined principally to ship op-
GRAFTON and only drilling at the guns,
except on a few occasions some sub
caliber practice, which does not ap-
proach anywhere near the real thing.
However, it is believed now that the
postwar Reserves have completed
their apprenticeships in ship opera
ton and maneuvering and now are
ready for instruction in advance naval
practices. which include firing the
guns. That the Reserves have
reached a high state of efficiency was
indicated by Capt. Edward B. Fenner
Of the Naval Bureau of Operations to
the citizen sailors. He reviewed the
cruise of the Allen last year, and said
that 1t was a seagoing reserve, and
it was his opinion that they were thor
oughly capable of taking any Of the
destroyers any place to which they
were ordered. He spoke Of the Allen
maneuvering with the scouting fleet
last year and said that they took part
in the exercises in a very creditable
manner.

the active list should be obtained by
voluntary means. In order that Off
GERS may be able to take advantage of
this opportunity for release from ac-
tive service without an undue sacri.
fee, provision has been made in this
proposal for what is conceived to be
reasonable retired pay, graded accord
ing to the length of service rendered
by the officer, and for those of short
service who may he discharged land
for those of long service who see fit
to take advantage of it, a reasonable
cash allowance, which will compen-
safe them for the equity they have
established toward retirement.
A sustained outflow from the active
list of the Army will assist in estab-
fishing a reasonable flow of promo
ton. The effect will, however, be
gradual and cumulative over long
period and unless some other measures
be taken, there will. in the meantime,
be stagnation in promotion that will
Me highly detrimental to efficiency To
meet this situation, it has been con-
Guided that there should be adopted
system of promotion such as now
obtains in the Army Medical Depart
ment, whereby officers will be pro-
noted from grade to grade upon the
completion Of fixed periods of service
and without regard to vacancies. In
order however, that there may not
be an excessive number of officers in
grades above captain, it has been
found necessary to place limitations
upon promotion according to length
OF service. Due to these limitations
all officers will not be promoted strict
~ in accordance with the adopted
schedule, but their promotions will not
be materially delayed and their pros
poets of promotion, of efficient careers
and of rising high In their profession
will be infinitely better than those
now confronting them.
The annual dinner of the Washing
ton section Of the Association of
Graduates of the United States Mill
tary Academy will be held at the

alumni gatherings will celebrate the
anniversary of the foundation of the
Military Academy in many large cities
throughout the United States and our
insular possessions. Maj. Gen. Charles
Nick, Saltzman, chief signal officer of
the Army and chairman of the Wash
ington association, has appointed the
following committees on arrangements:
Lieut.. Col. Ernest d. Peek, director;
Majs. G. III. Danielson, chairman,

this is done, she will return to Wash

Lieut. Bernard A. Sullivan, because
of change in his civil employment,

while Lieut.. Harry j. Nichols, execu-
tive officer of the battalion, gave the
sailors some valuable information on

Authority has been received by the
local reservists to construct a rifle
range in the basement of their armory
at the Washington Navy Yard. Plans
for such an indoor gallery are being
studied, and it is expected that the
work will be started within a short
time. Efforts will be made to gain a
position on the United States team at
the international rifle matches at

that in the face of a situation that

ability and by reason of length of

GERS defined by law as those who
should no longer be retained in the

be fully utilized it is estimated that
the average annual attrition will not
rise much above per cent 1t is
imperative that some new measure be
found to bring about during the next
90 years the annual attrition of about
l per cent Generally speaking, the
attrition may be accomplished by vol
untary or involuntary transfer of Off
GERS from the active list or by a com
binatton of these. All possible means
