ALASKA C. OF

 HOLD MEETING
Final Acceptance of Con- stitution and Bylaws
 Is. Delayed

Because a number of the dele gates to the All-Alaska Chamber of Commerce, had not heard defi- nitely from their home Chambers regarding their final acceptance of the constitution and their desire to belong to the Territorial organiza- tion, the meeting yesterday after noon was brief and final action was postponed until Monday after noon at the same time.
 Ketchikan Declines
 With the exception of Ketchi- kan, all of the Chambers which have been heard from, signified their willingness to enter the All Alaska Chamber The commer- cial clubs of Nome, Juneau, Wran- gell, Petersburg, Seward and Cor dova had been heard from favor ably, Sitka, Fairbanks, Anchorage and Valdez have not yet made known their intention with regard to affiliation, and Ketchikan wired that the Commercial Club there declined.
 No reason was given for Ketchi- kan's refusal to enter the affilia- ton, other than that there was such strong opposition to entering the All-Alaska body that it could not be overcome. A letter from W. A. Bates, which followed the wire, and both of which were read by F. H. Foster, chairman of the explained that it was felt that the Ketchikan Chamber of

SEATTLE, April 12.-With her husband absent on duty in Alaska waters, Mrs Julius Elizabeth Glass cock, aged 30 years, will be ere mated late today.

oratory more effective. The govern

vote on a motion for confidence;
whereas It had scarcely dared to count

Presumably the government received
practically all the votes of all the groups

the Republican Democratic union on
the Right, and in addition a good many
radical Socialists votes. It is of note
in that connection that, in refusing

machine voted an open mind toward
that government.

happily, the new government has a

is impossible at present to give the

A well informed journal admits that
more than a thousand disable gases

succeeded in forming a government.
The radical Socialists having refused
his offer Of participation, his choice was
confined to the Center and Right. The
new government closely approximates in
complexion the late BRAND govern
ment, including the most important
members of that government with the
exception of Painleve. Tardieu is
again minister of the interior, BRAND Of
foreign affairs, Cheron of finance and
Leagues of the navy. A very important
appointment Is that of Andre Maginot
in succession to Painleve as secretary
of war, evidently made to placate and
reassure the lican-Democratic or
margin group of the far Right, for
Maginot (he was minister for the COL
onies in the late government) is very
determined advocate Of strong policy
of national defense.
On November z Tardieu read his min
isterial declaration to the Chamber, and
debate followed for two days before the
vote was taken to decide his fate. Tar
dieu made certain important fiscal
promises He promised expenditures of
the equivalent Of 100000 for the
benefit of agriculture, including endow-
ment of the Institute for Agricultural
Research; of 100000 for schools,
hospitals, sanitoriums and other instru-
ments of social welfare, and of $70,-
000,000 for miscellaneous public works,
as improvement of roads, ports and
canals, extension of identification and
of telephone and radio services, ETC. He
also promised important tax reductions,
including reduction by 10 per cent of
all salary income taxes.
The declaration unequlvocally ap-
proved Brands acts and policies rela-
tive to The Hague, Rhineland evacua-
ton and the Saar, but gave assurance
that the Rhineland would not be evac-

Where shall we find anybody at the
present day to assert that we think as
we did in 1910 or 1918? Certainly,
slaughter and devastation are of too
recent a date to be easily forgotten.
Nobody wants to hear of a return to
these horrors. But new wars are,
nevertheless, not regarded as impossible.
We have become accustomed to the
idea Of carnage. We almost admit its
periodicity.
Juarres wrote in 1889: "war is not
killed by waging war;" I go further:
I'VE foster war by waging war"
Now, what would new war be like?
It would be commonplace to say that
there would be as much difference be-
tween the hecatomb of a future war
and the massacre of 1914-18 as there
was between the world conflict and the
little war of 1870-'7ll On this point
all are agreed. And to think that the
childhood of us Frenchmen was lulled
by the lamentations of our parents and
grandparents on the drama of 1901
Two hundred and fifty thousand Of
ours had disappeared. The Prussians,
as we then used to call them, had
occupied part of French territory and
their hand fell heavily upon our fell
low citizens. What tales were not told
on this subject! The conclusion was
always the same: May you never see

next war, were humanity foolish enough
to permit 1t, would be war of chem
istry. a war of gases. In 1914-191S the
con1batants fell by the million. In the
year K, which I sincerely hope will not
find a place in the calendar the civil
population would be annihilated and
there would be no place for their pres
ervation.
Statistics on Gas Fatalities.
I understand that there are military
experts eager to declare that gases are
not so horrible as is reported that they
are the least dangerous arm of modern
warfare, and they justify this assertion
by quoting statistics. They maintain
that the proportion Of soldiers killed
among those that were gassed is small,
etc.
lii this strange mania for forecast
ing the future by the past persist con-
tinually? Less than 20 years ago, in
1911, when I was at the head of the
government, at the time of Agadir,
collected the opinions of military ex-
perts on the subject Of aviation. They
were all of opinion that 1t could play
no part in war. Had war broken ous
