More Emergency Conser- vation Work Planned

Plans for organizing six addi- tional emergency conservation work crews in Alaska were announced today at local Forest Service head quarters by Wellman Holbrook, Acting Regional Forester. Men will be enrolled for them at once and camp organization started as soon as possible.
 The first new crew to be formed will be a 10-man outfit to be en- ployed in work along Glacier High way out of Juneau Its first job will be constructing trails at the upper and lower ends of Tee Harbor. .
 A second crew was also author ized for work on the Herring Bay wood road at Ketchikan. A second trail crew will be formed for Kenai Peninsula work.
 One or two crews will be organ ized for trail construction on Ad- miralty Island, MT. Holbrook said. These will be under the general supervision of Jay Williams, Forest Examiner. It is probable that one crew will be sent to Windham Bay to build a trail for some dis tance up Chuck River.
 It is. possible complete pro- gram of the emergency conserva- tion work will be announced next week after the arrival of Regional o. H. Flory. He and Assistant Re gional Forester M L. Merritt will sail from Seattle for Juneau to- morrow.
 MT. Flory, who is accompanied by Mrs Flory and his sister, will come directly here. MT. Merritt will leave the steamer at Ketchi- kan, where he will be met by the tender Forester, and cruise here on that boat, stopping at various points where emergency conserva- tion work camps are to be estab- liShed,

COLISEUM OPEN
 TONIGHT WITH MODERN DRAMA
Virtue. Gives Leading Roles to Carole Lom-
 bard, Pat O'Brien

Ente It aiming and interesting, Virtue which reopens the Coli scum theatre tonight, presents Car ole Lombard in the role Of 8 young, dangerously beautiful girl, tra.p- sing through life on her wits.
 When she comes in contact with the cold law of New York City, and is given the choice of Welfare Is land or home and mother Car ole, who has neither, invents them, but just as she is rssuming her old life, meets Pat OBrien, who plays the part of a cab driver, whom she cheats out of his fare and after their inauspicious meet ing, falls in love with him and they marry.
 The story of Virtue does not by any means end here. The af- fairs of a young woman such as Miss Lombard plays, cannot so quickly be wound up with mar riage, even. Her grief and real istic struggle to lead a respectable married life continue until tre- mendous climax is brought about.
 Others in the cast will be Shir- ley Grey, Mayo Tethot and Jack LaRue.

Defeats It's Purpose

But until Grover Cleveland
became President in 1885, the
total number of bills vetoed IN
96 years was only 1872.
John Adams, Thomas Jefter-
son, John Quincy Adams, Mar
tin Van Buren,, Zachary Taylor
and Millard Fillmore never "re'
turned" any bill to Congress
that is, never vetoed any.
But no President ever before:
according to the testimony OF
Senators given during the de-
bate over the Steiwer-Cutting
amendment, ever preceded his
veto with an ultimatum to the
Senate that a veto would follow
should the Senate take action
contrary to his wishes.
The fact that this extraordl-
nary ultimatum defeated its
purpose and stened d the
adoption of the Steiwer-Cuttlng
amendment by a decisive vote
probably means that the United
States Senate will not soon eX'
perience another such challenge
to the Senate'S constitutional
authority or the Senatorial con
science.

British In India

Rebellion famed through the
great province of Bengal.
Thousands of English men,
women and children were
butchered before the mutiny
was crushed, finally. in 1858.
The mutiny produced the mas
sacre at Cawnpore, the siege OF
Delhi and the relief of Luck
now.
The tale of the British in In
dia is a long chronicle, and a
thrilling one, beginning when
the little John Company clerk.
Robert Give, suddenly found
himself and became one of the
ablest military leaders who ever
led the Red Coats. For two cen
turies Great Britain has sent
to India her best and her
bravest. Perhaps less than JUS
tice has been done to her re-
markable work for horde OF
three hundred million people,
backward, stepped in supersti-
ton, enslaved by caste and di-
vided into hundreds of hostile
tribes and races.
Admitting that India has a
right to freedom-to self-gov-
ernment - one wonders what
would happen if the strong
hand of Great Britain should
suddenly be removed. 1t is
more than likely that a bloody
religious war would follow
Mohammedans against the
hated Hindus. But it is scarcely
more likely that the British will
voluntarily retire from their
great Asiatic Empire than it is
to expect that the descendants
of the settlers in our own West
would abandon the lands they
wrested from the Indians by
force and chicanery. The
British title to India is almost
as respectable as the American
title to America.

Slave Raiders

Continent, and the blacklist of
all is human slavery, the bond
age of men and women which
"Bula Matari," Henry M. Stan

of death does not daunt the

It is interesting to note that
the airplane, which is changing
human existence in so many
ways, may yet prove the instru-
ment by which slavery in Africa
will finally be wiped out. For
the British are instituting air

that suffer from slave raids.
Speedily as the raiders strike

authority in India. 1t was pro-
voked by an incredible piece of
stupidity.
A new rifle was served out to
the native troops. The cart
ridges had to be creased to
make them slide easily into the
bore of the gun. The grease
was cows fat, something thor
ougkly detestable to both Mo

It was necessary for them to
tear off the tops of the cart

The stars hang low in the
luminous African night. A thou
sand men, women and children
sleep soundly in a native Gala
town in the British territory OF
Kenya, in northeastern Africa.
Off in the bush lion looses a
rumbling roar which jars the
air. A jackal laughs in hys-

Gallas, familiar with such
echoes of the night, sleep on,
undisturbed.
Suddenly the echoes become
a demoniac chorus. Over the
village sweeps a wave OF wild
tribesmen from across the bor-

and slaughtered with spears.
The young men and the young

Ethiopia retreat swiftly back
through the bush and are over
the borders of their own coun-

slavery the miserable Gallas.
