ALASKA VISITORS
 ARE WELL PLEASED,
 TOUR, NORTHLAND

Interested visitors to Alaska who are returning to the States on the Aleeutian are the Misses D. E. Hanley, H. T. Hanley and c. E. Hanley, all of Pascoag, Rhode Island, and their niece, Miss M. P. Hanley of Providence, R. l., a daughter of J. P. Hanley, Sunday Editor of the Providence Journal. They have been as far as Valdez, where they made the automobile trip to Chitina, and returned to Cordova over the Copper River and Northwestern Railroad.

until there's nothing more to give he added.
 If any nation should over-build it's quota permitted under the agreements, it would be a matter of much concern for the other signatories. It would produce an unbalanced condition of arma- ments not templated d. The United States had under built, and that has resulted in unpalancing just as serious as overbuilding would have.
 Gratifies Lifelong Ambition
 Capt. Rowcliff, acknowledging the welcome voiced by Mayor Gold stein and MT Jones, said this trip realized for him lifelong ambi- ton. He had always wanted to see Alaska and although his Navy service covers many years this is the first time he has had an op- portunity to come north.
 He had heard muchs about the country from two wellknown Navy officers, Admiral Coontz and Ad- miral Rodman, both of whom served in Territorial waters in the carly days. He served on the per sonal staff of both officers at different times.
 Now i am in fair way to have my curiosity gratified," he said. T have seen some wonderful things and heard of even more. But the high water mark so far was set by the Mayor of Wrangell When I regretted there that the rain pre- vented me takirg some pictures I wanted, he told me to go ahead and take them; that the WrangeN rain was so clear that pictures talk en in it turned out better than those taken in California sun shine"
 Glad to Be Here
 The officers and men of the squadron, he said in concluding, are glad to be here. He invited everyone to call on "our little ships. We are not as fine as some of the larger ones, but we have the same kind of people in them"
 Officers in the group with Capt. Rowcliff were: Commander G. l.. Weyler, Commander of Destroyer Division Ten; Lieut.. Commander J. R. Sullivan, Lieut.. Commander H. D. Davis, and Lieut.. Lavasseur of Capt. Rowcliff's staff; Com mander R. A. Hall, Commander Lieut.. E. E. Pare, Executive Off, cer, Lieut.. G.g9 T. P. Wilson, and Ensign J. E. Lee of the Decatur, squadron leader.
