g1s sg - q. " V s s'' " N a RENEW ALASKAN STUDY IF As|iT|C MIGRATION
 UNDERWAY THIS YEAR

WASHINGTON, July 2S. (P-New evidence relating to the migration of primitive man from Asia into Ameri ca by way of Alaska is being sought this summer by Smithsonian arch geological expedition headed by Henry B. Collins, IT., assistant curator of the division of ethnologyy of the Ma tional Museum.
 The expedition left Seattle aboard the revenue cutter "Northland" in May for St Lawrence Island and the coast of Seward Peninsula, to carry forward a systematic study of Alaska. The study was started two year ago by Dr. AIea Hrdlicka, noted Smithson an anthropologist, for the Bureau of Amercan Ethnology, which the insti tuition directs.
 pr. Hrdlicka's expedition surveyed the Yukon River region and the coast of Alaska. It resulted in the diicov cry of a number of old village sites and probable routes of migration and convinced him that the American h. dian probably reached this continent as the descendants of those ancient travellers. Collins followed up this work last year with an intensive study of Nunivak Island and several hundred mile of the mainland.
 His work and that of Dr. Hrdlicka indicate the existance of an early culture in Alaska quite distinct from that of the Eskimos-of a people who, driven out of Asia or urged on by wonderlust, presumably settled there for few generations, but finally moved southward where life could be satisfied more easily and the natural elements were not 50 hostile
 The expedition this summer will attempt to substitute reports of an cient villagee sites on St. Lawrenc Island and the Seward Peninsula. If they can be found, Collins plans to excavate them with the help of Eski- mos. He puoposas also to take phy- sical measurements of living Eskimos

Both claim to base their studies the actual needs of the respective tries for protection of merchant shipping, rights of neutrals on the high seas, and maintenance of defensive routes. But it is plain that at the very bottom of all programs for the future is the armament of the other country.

Good Advice to New Citizens.
fNew York World. )


 It would be hard to improve, in matter or in manner, upon the advice given to group of newly made American citizens yesterday in the Bronx Supreme Court by Justice Cotillo. He warned them against attempting the division of loyalty, or engaging in political struggles that are far removed from American soi He warned them also against those Americans who under the banner of bigotry and intolerance are fos- tering divisions of race creed and color in this country" They should equally avoid and con- demn allegiance to dictatorship abroad and at tempts outside of the law in this country to op- press it's citizens They should be, as American citizens, neither Fascists nor anti-Fascists neither be Klansmen lift against the Klan weapons which the law alone wield.
 No sensible person expects wishes our foreign born citizens to lose interest in the lands where they were reared On the contrary their continued interest in the old home should be a valuable aid in making closer that neighborliness of nations which is greatly to be desired. But as citizens here they should, Justice Cotillo says, 'be proud of your newly acquired privilege, of the opportunities to yourself and your children of more intimate relation with the American people, to whom you linked by an historic contribution of priceless labor"

MATCHING NAVY AGAINST NAVY.

President Coolidge has expressed concern over the manner in which the public, including a large percentage of the press, has greeted the Navy Departments naval program It is not so much the magnitude of it's plans for after all every ship desired may be needed and the country generally is willing to abide by the Judgment of the Administration to that need. It is, however. the manner in which the building needs arrived at as expressed in the testi- mony of Secretary Wilbur Admiral Hughes and the speech of Rear Admiral Plunkett, that has caused the widespread comment For all of these expressions did more than merely intimate that conflicting commercial interests demanded the immediate construction of a navy that would command respect from the mightiest naval power in the world Admiral Hughes phrased it in this manner: That while the completion Of the big navy program would not give the United States command of the sea. the proposed ships, sadded to present force,' would cause any nation to pause before attacking American rights and Interests. And Secretary Wilbur added in his testimony that if the programs were car rfed out, danger of war, and therefore destruc- fion of our overseas commerce will be greatly mfnimiEed if not entirely met" It was 1,ear Admiral Plunkett who foresaw war result inx rom commercial rivalry

Fremont Property in Heart

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. a.
Across a span of sixty-five years the
long arm of justice is reaching out
ITO right an ancient wrong"
This is to restore to its original
owners and their heirs the home of
General John G. Fremont, "Ameri-
cas- Pathfinder" first Republican
presidential candidate and one of
the early makers of the west.
In 1860 Fremont was rich man
who owned the great Mariposa
mine, worth $10,005,000
He moved to San Francisco with
his family and bought fifteen acres
on Black Point, an arm of land
overlooking Golden Gate, jutting
from the San Francisco peninsula.
He paid $4,000, and built a $4,000
house. There he lived until 1868,
when he wac called back to Wash
ington to take command of the de-
partment of the west.
Seized Site for Fort
That same year the United
States government fearing a raid
upon California from England and
France, rumored to be planning to
take advantage of the Civil war and
Americas defenseless seas, ordered
the Black Point property seized for

was 'to be determined later" TT.

the Ft. Mason property be returned
to its original owners. BY this the
city would regain Alcatraz Park.
Young Fremont has promised to
sell the Fremont home site to the
city for park purposes at per cent
less than its own appraisal there

been before twelve congressional
committees and never has been
turned down.

during his absence. He died penni-
less in New York. His widow fought
on to persuade congress to pay for
the land. She also died poor in

grandson of the Pathfinder, to
carry on the fight.
The property, now in the heart
of San Francisco, is worth millions.
