The Alaskan Flight.
Washington Evening Star)


 On the 18th of July ten Army airplanes left Boiling Field for a round trip to Stewards Folly better known nowadays sixty-seven years after its acquisition from Russia, as Alaska They were off on an experimental flight to photograph the ter rain and to demonstrate the possibility of massed formation maintained over thousands of miles Yes-
 erday. they returned, in perfect order landing at Boiling Field just thirty-two days after their de- lparture
 When Alaska was bought from Russia for ST. 1000 and general belief that the United States had made bad bargain, hence the scornful nick name applied to the Territory. It would never be lof us it would be financial burden, it would ex- tend the territorial scope of the country too far In short, there faith in the value of the frozen land.
 These doubts as to the value of Alaska to the United States have long since been dispeled The discovery of gold, silver and copper and other valuable metals, of coal in large quantities the development of fisheries, the production of large grain crops have proved the Territory to be of great wealth, present and potential. Alaska has paid for itself countless times the initial cost. When the United States bought the Territory it was difficult of access Now it is gained by speedy steamer service and a railroad line has been con- structed giving access to the interior It can be reached by arplane this formation flight of the Army has just shown, in a few hours The ten bombers, leaving here the 18th of July, reached Fairbanks on the 18th making easy stages On re- turn they left Juneau August IT, last Friday and reached Washington yesterday the 20th, three day flight, and that not race aganst tme
 There is special for qualification in this flight of the bombers for it demonstrates the ability of the Army air force, which few months ago was under unjust criticism for it's failure to meet the emergency caused by the cancellation of the armal contracts failure due to inexperience in the spec ial technique of scheduled flying, regardless of weather, unaccustomed routes
 These who saw the ten planes sweeping over Washington yesterday morning their way to Boiling Field had rea-on to be stirred by the spec tacle. They had made twenty -thousand-n flight without the slightest accident, without departure from their set program, and they returned they left, in the always thrilling formation that signifies perfect coordination of units and unfailing dis cipline.

WHEN HENRY SPENDS.

Henry Fords actual performances, especially, Tn his buying of materials and his selling of ms products, have always meant great deal much more than some of the aphorisms he has coined in occasional interviews He has anticipated ten dences before now in the former respect

Attracting considerable attention is an interesting collection of early Alaskan photographs on view in a winow of White rand Pond, photo graphers on Front Street The pie lures which depict the stampede over Chilkoot Pass as well as many early scenes of Juneau and mining in this vicinity, were taken by the firm of Winter and Pond in the early days.

Early gains Of one to two or more were pared or cancelled as traders cashed in. The close was fairly steady. The Curb exchange closed steadier and bonds were stronger.
 Speculative hesitation was large ly ascrihed to the Detroit strike situation, the lack Jt stimulus from Washington and unsettlement of commodities.

TOKYO NOT TO
SCRAP TREATY
Reports Of Intention to Alb
rogate Washington Ma
val Pact Denied

TOKYO, Aug. 14.-(UP)-A
foreign office spokesman today
denied reports Japan intends def
initely to notify Great Britain
and the United States that she
intends to abrogate the Washing
ton naval treaty.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Ia. (UP)
Information reaching diplomatic
circles tonight indicated Japan is
on the verge of renouncing the
Washington naval disarmament
pact, which she signed with Great
Britain and America.
Japanese embassy officials said
a formal decision had not yet been
reached but added there is "a very
strong movement" for such action
in Japan.
Reports from Tokyo have indi-
Gated for some time that the gov
eminent was under pressure to
abolish the treaty which establish
ed Japan in the famous 5-5-3 fleet
ratio to Great Britain and the
United States.
Informed diplomatic circles I'M
derstood last night that this pres
sure was coming from the aggres-
sive younger element in naval cir
cles and has come close to sue
cess.
Premier Admiral Okada, twice
minister of navy. was reported as
having so many influential friends
who favored the step that he
could resist the move only with
greatest difficulty.
Japan's purpose in such action
at this time would be two-fold, as
follows:
1. To bring the Washington
treaty to an end simultaneously
with the London naval disarma-
ment treaty which will terminate
December 81, 1886, unless re-
newed.
2. To gain a legally free hand
to prepare for the "crisis" which
many Japanese leaders have pre-
dioted for 1885 or 1896.
japanese naval leaders have
been denouncing the 5-5-3 naval
ratio for some time and Premier
Okada himself indicated in re-
cent public statement that his gov
eminent was not satisfied with it..
Most leaders have demanded fleet
equality with Britain and America
but Okada kept away from the
issue by saying that he did not ex-
pect equality to be achieved imme-

paign Against Commun-
ism and Terrorism

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. a.
(UP)-The greatest drive against
communism and terrorism ever
sponsored by the American Legion
was inaugurated yesterday by the
California department, in annual
convention.
Speaker after speaker flayed
un-American activities of aliens,
tolerance" of federal authorities
toward subversive acts and prop
uganda. Resolutions calling for
drastic legislation to wipe out agi-
tation against the present form of
government awaited action.
Legionnaires are determined to
carry the program to the national
convention, to the legislature of
every state, and to congress.
National Commander E. A..
Hayes advised the California Le-
gion to "be sure of your facts in
the situation before any action is
taken"
"But having found the facts and
discovered that certain elements
are inimical to the American gov
ernment," Hayes continued,
"make known your findings and
acts. Having found the truth and
having failed to reveal its find
ing, no mater whose toes are
stepped on, the national organiza-
ton will feel that it has failed in
its duty to it's country and the

LONDON, Aug. 14.-UP).-
Austria has sent q note to Great

It is learned that the note

The powers are considering the

It is known that the July rs

The hangings which are now

WIDESPREAD SHOWERS TODAY
BRINGING END TO NATIONS
MOST DAMAGING HEAT WAVE
Weekend Rains Supple
mented by Showers Over
Wide Ara

CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-(UP).-
Finis was written behind the
century's most damaging heat
wave today as government wealth
er forecasters predicted that for
at least "a hours, the second such
period in two months, the mer-
curry would not touch 100 degrees
anywhere in the middlewest.
Rains which fell over Is states
during the weekend were supple
mented today by widespread show
ers and more precipitation was
forecast in Missouri, Iowa, Min
nesota, Nebraska, and the Da-
kotas.
Temperatures fell as low as "a
in Kansas City, where last week
the mercury repeatedly touched
10 degrees! 50 in Chicago; 81 ia
Green Bay, Wis, and 7s in Pc
oria, ILL.,, where three times in the
last six days the all-time heat
record was broken.
Wichita, Oklahoma City, Dodge
City and other centers of the
worst of the heat expected tenn
peratures high in the COS today,
but the maximums predicted were
far below those of Friday and
Saturday.
With the return of seasonable
temperatures and a prospective
end to the most disastrous drouth
in weather bureau history, market
experts took an alarming inven-
tory of food supplies for the COM
ing winter.
Hog prices in the principal ter
minals of the nation are at the
highest peak in more than two
years, but agricultural experts
predicted higher meat prices to
come.
Best quality hogs at Chicago
today brought s5.65 per hundred
weight, the highest price since Oc-
tober, 1881. Outside markets
stood correspondingly higher.
Farmers, the while, beamed on
prices they considered at "cost
of production" level, promised by
the agricultural adjustment ad-
ministration at the beginning of
the hog-slaughter program last
fall.
During the last fortnight
brisk demand prevailed for all
pork products. Authorities at the
Chicago stock yards, worlds larg-
est livestock trading center, said
the improved prices were partly
the result of the slaughter pro-
gram: The animals destroyed last
fall now would be ready for mar
ket, they said.
Other factors were prominent.
