appoint Maj. Gen. Herbert L. Crosby
to a District commissionership upon
his retirement from the Army in March,
despite the law which reads that "the
two persons appointed from civilian
life shall be, etc." it appeared today
that the question whether Gen. Crosby
upon his retirement will in fact be a
civilian was far from settled
Attention was directed today to deci-
Sions of the United States Supreme
Court and of the District Court of
Appeals which have held that retired
Army and Navy officers are, in fact.
not civilians
The District Court of Appeals in an
opinion rendered May 2, 1927, held that

 Time, very appropriately, believe, approves the suggestion of former Senator Gilbert M Hitch cock of the Omaha (morning and evening" World-Herald, the leading newspapers of Nebraska, that the newspapers of the country ought to take some action toward speeding up pulp and paper manufacturing in the Northwest including Alaska.
 The accessibility of Alaska timber to waterways and the availability of the Panama Canal make this Territory natural competitor of Ontario and Quebec for the newsprint business of the Middle West and South, at least Alaska alone could pro- duce large enough percentage of the newsprint used by American newspapers to have controlling in fuence the price
 Other newspaper owners could very well take a lesson from the activities of Mir Cameron of the San Francisco Chronicle and MT. Chandler of the Los Angeles Times. These publishers propose to have mills that will supply their papers, at feast, within few years. Publishers of the Southern Coast and Middle West might look into this proposi- tion with profit to themselves.

FIREPLACE By Mary Graham Bonner

! "As its @ most special holiday said the Little Black Clock, "I thought we'd visit some friends who're fond of holidays that come l at this time of the year"
 John and Peggy went only a little distance with the Little Black Clcck, but he had turned the time back quite a long ways.
 It was very quiet. Then they heard some cracking noises and some splutters of laughter and some chuckles.
 They're waiting for us" said the Little Black Clock.
 And then the children saw some strange but very bright little crea- lures dressed in bright, bright, col ors.
 We're the Fireplace people" the little creatures said, as the Little Black Clock introduced them to the children. You're back of the Fireplace now, which is the req son it looks different to you
 "You see,' explained the Little Black Clock, I've turned the time quite far back, and this is an old fireplace Let us hear them talk.
 So the children sat down back of the Fireplace, and they heard the Fireplace people deciding all sorts of things.
 First of all, we must always be warm and cosy and friendly" said one dressed in the brightest of flame-colored costumes.
 we must all wear pretty colors so people will want to look at us and will enjoy our brightness.
 From the days when fire was first discovered until now our peo- pie have never had hard feeling for anyone They have always wanted to do the best they could
 Then we must be ready to quiet down, so our embers can be used for roasting popcorn, chestnuts and apples. We will do this for people so they can have good times as they sit around us."
 All the Fireplace people agreed that they would do all this, and John. Peggy and the Little Black Clock stayed back of the Fire place. and heard all the plans made by the Fireplace people.

The Alaska Railroad.

 Eastern newspapers have shown concern the Alaska Railroad. The operating loss for the fiscal year of 1929 was $958414, an increase of $111 024 or I31 per cent over the preceding year. Considered in relation to Alaskas vast contribution to the wealth of the Nation the deficit is unim- portant There a substantial increase in the number of rail line passengers during the year. but freight revenues decreased. That important econ omies in operation naugurated is shown by the decrease in expenses.
 The construction of the Alaska Railroad was undertaken fifteen years ago, not with the thought of making money in the transportation business, but with the expectation that it would lead to the development of the Territorys vast natural wealth. Until the Government has established feeder lines, fostered industries and encouraged the develop ment of resources the railroads cannot be expected to pay. The adoption of liberal policy toward potential investors in Alaska eventually would put the 500 miles of line a paying basis
 Since Congress first authorized the construc- the total amount S54 995 represents the capital cost of the railroad while the operating deficits have aggregated $12,183884 On the whole the money has been we'll spent.
 It is the proud boast of the Fairbanks Com mercal Club that the undeveloped natural re- sources of the Territory would pay the National debt. We paid $7,200000 for Alaska, and since 1880 approximately $60o,00oO0O has come from AL aska's mines The yield from the Northlands fisheries has been enormous. Last years shipments into Alaska were valued at $31 793213 The balance of trade in Alaskas favor was $44,2 ,239
 The Territory is storehouse of wealth almost inexhaustible The railroad must be regarded as an investment, which in time will yield rich returns

DEATH CLAIMS YOUNG AND USEFUL
 CITIZEN.

Those who attended the Houston Convention in 1928 remember handsome, earnest intellectual and pleasant looking young man, little medium heighth blond, slender, with wnsome and under standing smile always near the surface, who seemed never to leave the reception of the Gov. Smith headquarters and the New York delegation in the Rice Hotel. His job to make every caller feel at home. And he did. He affection everytime he shook new hand.
 He was Maurice Bloch Democratic leader in the New York Assembly, though only thrty-seven years of age He the of poor but respectable and generous Jewish parents He had made his way through the university and law school by dint of hard work and earning scholarships. He had been fortunate in getting clients and had won position at the bar and a modest affluenee. It was his in- terest in the poorer masses that took him into politics at time when Gov Smith and his asso- ciates were remakng the old Tammany into the new, and he joined them with enthusiasm. He was devoted follower of the Great Governor.
 It will pain to all who met, admired and liked MT. Bloch to know that he is dead at 8 time when he had a right to expect to live and serve his family and mankind for thirty or more years. and when his wife and children and fellow citizens had a right to expect his services. He is sincerely mourned throughout his City and State and elsewhere
 In the opening paragraph of editorial tribute to MT. Bloch, the New York World said.
 Though he but thirty-n years of

Pulp Palaver.
Crime

CT1me)
 Presumably more bootleggers than goodwill cross red the border between the United States and Can ada last week Reason: on one side were ranked the newspaper publishers of the United States who are accustomed to purchase their newsprint (news- paper paper) almost entirely from Canadian manu- lecturers at wholesale prices averaging about $55 per ton. On the other side were the Canadian newsprint manufacturers who desired to raise the price to $60
 Louis Alexandre Taschereau crisp Premier of Quebec, had declared his own behalf and for Premier George Howard Ferguson of Ontario: $ . The price of $55 is not a fair return" This indication of Provincial Government opinion had stirred United States statsticians to compute that a price raise of $5 would cost United States pub fishers Sl9,000000 yearly.
 Fortnight ago Abitibi Power & Paper Company and St. Maurice Valley Paper Company, forming very consequential portion of their industry definitely announced a price raise effective Janu- ary l, firm $55 to $60.
 The next United States was meeting of the representatives of than 300 United States and Canadian newspapers called early last week in Manhattans Hotel Pennsylvania. Three basis suggestions emerged. The most direct was that legal action be used against the Canadian pulpsters. A resolution was adopted urging that Federal authori- ties be consulted as to whether there is any re- dress open in this situation through Federal action"
 The most conservative suggestion advocated the reauctlon of neWsprlnt consumption Shrewd Paul Block, chain publisher Brooklyn, Newark Pitts burgh, Toledo Duluth, expressed his opinion that most United States newspapers are now "over-fea- tured" that the elimination of many feature would do no harm
 More far-sghter and cogent to those publishers who regard the Canadian industry as a monopoly, was the proposal of onetme Senator Gilbert Mcneil Hitchcock of the Omaha World Herald Said he: Whatever the directors do of temporary nature ought to be supplemented by action towards permanent relief such developing new supply of newsprint for the Western part of the United States possibly from Alaskan or a supply from European sources.f
 The gist of the conferences opinion was ex- pressed in report published after their confer ence: "The publishers in possession of no facts that lead them to believe that an increase lin lnewsprint price is warranted an economic basis"
 From Toronto came report, quickly denied by Premier Taschereau, that the prce-rise policy would be reconsidered by Canada's pulpsters
 Quebec and Ontario contains most of the Canadian pulp mills
 fIhe United States Government is nepo-
 tiating for s100ooo00 worth of Alaskan
 spruce and hemlock for newsprint manu-
 facture, stmulant to pulpsters' interest in
 that Territory. The United Staes now an nually imports about 100000 tons of news print, duty free, from Germany Finland sweden, Norway. This amount is, however negligible in the annual consumption of neWsprint in the United States estimated
