New Yorker Also Working for Defenses Along
 Aleutian Islands FORTIFY ALASKA IS GREAT MOVE PLANNED Delegate Seeks Training Camp-Plans Rotating
 Scheme for Pliers

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Rep- resentative William I. Sirovich, Democrat of New York, who is backing Alaska Delegate A. J. Di- monds plan for the establishment of an Army Air Corps training squadron base near Fairbanks, Alaska, is firm believer that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and he is demand ing Notifications in the Aleutian Islands.
 Representative Sirovich believes adequate fertilization in the Aleu- tians and Army and Naval Air bases in the Territory of Alaska will be the best insurance against war with Japan that the United States could provide.
 Japanese Plan
 According to the Representative from New York State, the Japanese plan, in case of hostilities, is to ride into Alaska with the salmon going into the fresh water streams to spawn. He said that maps and documents he saw in Russia show ed the Nippon invasion would be in the month of May when the salmon are running.
 Reason for Move
 Representative Sirovich explain ed this plan by saying the Japan csc are fish eaters and by taking over the canneries and fishing equipment along the islands, Japan would be able to obtain a basic food ground. The plan to conquer Alaska, and under present condi- tions, he said would find nothing to stop such program in case of war.
 Training Field
 In connection with the air base at Fairbanks, Delegate Dimond also desires a base as a training field for young Alaskans as well as to familiarize the present day Army fliers with the Territory and harden them to the hazardous fly ing conditions of the North. To &C., complish this he would provide a rotating plan for the entire Army air force so every man would have some time, both winter and sum- mer, in Alaska.

Billions in World Arms
 Budgets Are Reuealed in
 Report n TUO-Yedr Study
By JOSEPH sHARKEY

GENEVA, April 25.--While the entire world is wobbly economi- cally, the nations are spending an- nually about $7,000, ,000, 900 on arm aments, say military experts who have been working for two years at the League of Nations.
 The experts constitute one of the branches of the international dis armament conference. They were instructed to find out whether it was feasible to establish a sy- tenn of international publicity in connection with military budgets, and also whether it was possible to limit armaments by agreeing upon a limitation of armament budgets.
 The committee believes budget publicity can be worked out. but that armament cuts through bud get limitations are not practical.
 Though the experts gathered from various countries have been wrestling with figures daily since the conference began in 1892, there never has been an outburst of i'm patience by any delegate.
 Hope Something Be Done
 They haven't gotten mad at one another as men sometimes will who are doomed to daily discussion of a disputatious subject. On the con- trary, they established such fine feeling of brotherhood that they formed little club.
 Apparently. the experts, stag gered by the huge sums expended in preparation for or aganist war found a fraternity based on the hope that something will be done about it."
 This amazingly long and detail ed investigation which is now com pleted, revealed one or two other things. One was the seeming com pleteness of budgetary details fur nished by the big powers. There were no evidences of attempts to conceal amounts expended for mil- itary purposes.
 The military budgets Of 61 states were examined and generally in the presence of special expert sent by the country whose budget was under scrutiny The commit tee examined 10000 mimeographeo pages of material which flowed ir from all corners of the world in answer to 400 questions.

DEAN BRIGGS

 Dies in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 25.- LeBaron Russell Briggs, aged 79 years, Professor Emeritus and for mer Dean of Harvard University, former President of Rradcliffe, died yesterday at the home of his daughter, Lucia Russell Briggs, President of the Milwaukee-Dor- mer College, of a heart ailment.
 Few university professors have had a more active career in col legiate educational matters than LeBaron Russell Briggs, for many years dean of Harvard College and dean of the faculty of arts and sciences of Harvard University By his work as instructor, professor, dean and college president he won recognition from the educational and corporation authorities of Har- yard as well as llonors from various other educational institutions.
 Interested In Athletics
 Dean Briggs, however, was prob ably best known throughout the country and especially in inter- collegiate athletic circles because of his long service as chairman of the Harvard athletic commit tee. His ideals regarding college sports were of the highest and he used every effort to place inter collegiate competition on a plane in accordance with those ideals. He was a constant and bitter foe of professionalism or anything that bordered on it in collegiate com- petition; he loved athletics for sports sake, and among college men held that it was possible for an athlete to be as great in de- feat as in victory. Tn 1912 he was elected President of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and was continued in that office five years. In one of his annual re- ports he expressed what was re-
