COLONEL sTEEsE's TALK MAKES HIT AT ?. I. \.
 MEETING IN JUNEAU

The talk by Col. James G. Steese, president of the Alaska Road Con- mission, before the Juneau F. T. A. recently about his recent trip to Egypt and Palestine supplied splen- did entertainment to the gathering, reports the Juneau Empire, which in part reported the following:
 Col Steese began his talk by re- lating the necessary steps one must take to secure passport before go- ing abroad and showed his own pass tape 10 be gone through before pro- curing one. In discussing Egypt he pictured vividly the burial places of the ancients, connected by mile after mile of underground passages cut through solid rock and lined with beautiful carvings and insets of pre- cious stones. "The Egyptian ruins are magnificent, absolutely the finest have seen in any country" declared Col. Steese, and from his description one could we'll believe it.
 Palestine was described at length and one of the most interesting points brought out in connection with the division of the early Christian religion into the Greek Catholics and the Roman Catholics. Col. Steese went on to explain how the Greek church spread eastward, through Si- beria and finally reached Alaska through the Russians at Sitka, while at the same time the Roman Catho- lie church was growing toward the west and eventually was brought to Alaska by the Jesuits, so that the churches of East and West really met in Alaska.
 The talk was so fascinating that the half hour or so that it took pass ed all too quickly and the only criti- cism heard was that Col. Steese stopped too soon.

New York. July 2s UP)-Dodg- ing publicity in much the same fashion as photographers dodge crockery at Grand Anse, Bud and Lena Stillman. happy honeymooners arrived today at Grand Central sta tion and were taken to an unknown address.
 A few hours after the couple reached their hiding place, James A. Stillman. father of the bridegroom, stood at the doorway of his lavish Park avenue apartment and told the United Press correspondent:
 T won't say where they are. Maybe I don't know, that's for you to find out, but you'd better leave them alone, hadn't you?"
 Stillman Pere was in a jovial mood. He defended the plate -hurl- ing exhibition of his wife which featured the post-nuptial ceremonies at Grand Anse Tuesday.
 A photographer approached the apartment and asked the multi-mil- llonalre to pose. Stillman refused and the cameraman took the picture anyway.
 That's just typical of the way thing were at the camp" he ex- claimed. altogether there was little trace of anger in his voice. My wife asked the photographers to for get their cameras during the cere- mony but they broke their promise and that's why they got theirs"

BRITISH. AMERICAN NAVAL DELEGATES
 MEET IN PRIVATE
(Continued From First Page)

can spokesman told the newspaper men the the American delegation was disposed to consider the inser- tion of a clause in the projected treaty whereby if any signatory power had any apprehensions over the future concerning the building programs of the other signatories, meeting of representative of the governments concerned could be oonvoked immediately to discuss the situation.
 The spokesman said that 1t was originally intended to incorporate such a clause to meet any apprehen- sions of any of the signatories of the treaty concerning the naval con- structons of non- -sgnatory powers such as France and Italy. who would not be bound by the Geneva agree ment. However, in view of the de- sire of the United States to main- tain its freedom as to the construc- tion of eight inch. gun cruisers within the limit of the total author ized tonnage, continued the spokes- man, it was deemed possibly desir- able to insert such a clause with the idea that it would remove any apprehensions of the signatories themselves.
 More Building Not Likely
 The American spokesman also dwelt upon the improbabiltty of the United States building any con- siderable number of eight inch gun cruisers in addition to tn, 10000 ton cruisers which would be authorized, because any reasonable total tonnage limitation, it is felt would make such building impossible during the ten-year life of the treaty. More over, he added, ten American r. 000-ton cruisers of the Omaha class cannot be replaced during the life of the treaty because they are com paratively new.
