NAVAL GAMES
SCHEDULED IN
PACIFIC 1885
Indications Are They Will
Be Pointed Toward
Alaskan Defense
By HOBART c. MONTEE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. (UP)
Announcement by Secretary of
Navy Claude A. Swanson yester-
day that the 1895 fleet maneu-
vers will occur in the Northeast
ern Pacific indicates tina con-
tinuation of the shift of Ameri-
can strategical interest in Alaska
and the great circle steamer
route across the Picific.
An estimated 104 vessels will
maneuver in an area roughly
marked by Alaska, Puget sound
and Hawaii, which would cover
the mainline of direct conmuni-
cations between North America
and Asia in the event Of any
general emergency in the Pacific.
Diplomatic quarters were great
ly interested in this new dcve-
lopment but did not attach eX-
traordinary political Importance
to it. first because naval activity
in this region has been fore
shadowcd by various airplane
and submarine cruises there in
recent months. and secondly be-
cause it is common knowledge
that the practive games of the
American fleet since the World
War have covered all important
maritime areas contiguous to
mainland United States and its
possessions, except the Phillip
pines and some minor islands.
Moreover, the United States
fleet practice has heretofore in
Guided a cruise down the South
| Pacific to Australia; a special
/ operation at the Panama Conal
and repeated tactical exercises
in the strategic zones Of the Car
Iibbean.
Under these circumstances for
eign noval observers felt the
northeastern maneuvers would be
a natural sequence to the games
previously held.
Diplomatic Importance will be
attached to the North Pacific
games, however, because Of the
light that they will throw on
the general question Of Pacific
defense in the event of any fail
ure to renew the international
naval treaty. In such event, it is
the widely prevalent opinion that
the United States naval policy
would look to the establishment
of additional Pacific bases and
in such event, Cooks Inlet. Dutch
Harbor and possibly other points
would assume an ascending STRAIT
egical Importance.
One aspect of United States
defenses in the North Pacific
was brought to life at the last
session of congress in q discus
sion incidental to a bill intro
Quoted by delegate Anthony Dia-
mond of Alaska proposing that
air bases be established in the
Alaskan-Aleution area.
At that time it was pointed out
by some authorities that TIE Uni
ted States might be in danger Of
placing an excessive reliance up
on the naval base at Pearl Har-
Dor, Hawaii, which is long dis
lance south of the Great Circle

Kelly Willoughby, 1863 Hiatt-st,
last night.
That the thief was peg-legged was
deduced by hard-working detectives
when they found in the soft earth

shoe and, beside them, of a round
object which, the detectives decided,
could be nothing but the end of
peg-leg.

BIRTH CERTIFICATES NOW
IMPORTANT TO AMERICANS

First citizenship papers, in the
form of birth certificates, are daily
becoming more important to the
average American due to the
growth of population and the in
creasing demands in governmental
and social life.
Proof Of age, nationality and
parentage is being demanded in
most walks Of life and, with the
rapidly changing national condi-
tions, will soon become of vital
necessity to every person.
In order that present and future
generations may be fully supplied
with certificates of birth the U. S.
Bureau of Census, the Montana
and Wyoming State Boards of
Health, and the Emergency Relief
Administrations of the two states
are jointly conducting Register
Your Baby" campaigns with the
hope of attaining a complete reg
istration of all babies born within
the past IL months.
This campaign has as another
purpose the making of all persons
birth registration conscious" and
it is the hope of the sponsors of
the movement to bring about the
complete and correct recording of
all births within recent years, es-
pecially within the period in which
birth registration has been in
vogue in the two states.
Parents who have not received
blank census cards are urged to
obtain them from the state board
of health.
