A SERVICE TO THEIR CITY.

Without ostentation but with concerted effort members of the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department for the last several weeks have been doing a very fine thing for the city virtually without cognizance from the residents They have been learning how effectively combat any fire emergency that might arise. Under the tutelage of Capt. c. w. Gilham retired veteran of the Seattle department the fire boys have been getting abreast of the very latest methods of fire fighting. Capt. Gilman, who spent 25 years with the Seattle department in all the posts up chief knows the ropes and the informa- tion and knowledge he has been able to mpart to the local boys is worth far than the small sum that was necessary to bring him here
 Juneau located as it is in a small space and made up of wooden buildings, needs the very best fire protection available conflagration of any propor tions would require ability and knowledge to combat if the major part of the city would be saved That is exactly what the firemen under the leadership of Chief " w. Mulvihl have been aware of That is the they proposed bringing Capt Gilman to Juneau and why they the support of the City Council to defray the expenses
 These instructions from an expert will prove of untold value to the citizens of Juneau. It may well mean the difference between being wiped out by flames and limiting fire losses to a minimum The firemen have not only become more conversant with how to handle the equipment they have but they have learned how fight fire in of the down. town buildings should a blaze break out. They have learned how to make inspections of buildings to guard against fire hazards and of what inform the owners about that might prove dangerous ano develop into fires.
 The fire boys due the vote of thanks of every resident of Juneau. Not only have they made them selves better fire but they have fulfilled theh duties of citizenship few of us do Every property owner in the city has had great service whether he is aware of it or not.

The Demands on China.
(New York Herald Tribune)

The apparent backing and filling of the Chinese in the face of Japans demands can best be under stood if two comparatively simple ideas are kept in mind The first is that there is no strongly centralized efficient government in China with the result that local leaders may often act contrary to the wishes declarations of the Chinese Na- tionalists The second is that Japan is pursuing steadily the policy first enunciated twenty years ago in the famous "twenty-one demands'-a policy leading to the domination of North China by Japan Each move has this ulterior object in view. The Chinese, in contrast forced to oppose these moves without adequate armed forces, financial re- sources governmental organization The outcome lis therefor clear-and unavoidable.
 The importance of the "twenty-one demands has never been appreciated in the United States despite the insistence upon them by all writers familiar with Far Eastern matters They included, in brief special rights and privileges for the Japan ese in China which would give to Japan practically exclusive control of Manchuria, Shantung and Fukien, together with the iron and coal mines in the Yangtse Valley. In addition, China was asked to agree to employ Japanese advisers in political, financial and military affairs, In short China was to become Japan's vaSsal
 The opposition of war weakened world was still strong enough to force delay in the carrying out of some of these demands. Shantung for example, was returned to China after the Washington con- ference of 1921-'22. The demands for Japanese m- tary financial and diplomatic advisers were re served" for future consideration. They have ap- peared again in new form in recent weeks Man chura has passed completely under Japanese control In place of the Province of Fukien the Japanese are concentrating on Mongolia. In other words, the Japanese have learned the lesson of the Shanghai incident of 1932-which is that Great Britain intends to retain the trade and control of the Yangtse Valley in hands other than Japanese. The concentration on the creation of a North China Empire is therefore logical and practical. It will be easy enough to expand when the gains in North China considered.
 In 1915 the world was willing to try to bluff Japan-and succeeded Today Japan has success fully bluffed the world True to it's recipe for build
 ing empire it seizes territory and talks after ward Apparently the Japanese have well learned the lessons of Western history of the nineteenth century.

UNDESIRABLE ALIENS.

The inadequacy of immigration laws is a matter of grave to our national leaders and well it should be. Each session of Congress the fact is brought out that being deluged with undesirable aliens and effort is made to tighten up the regulations but success has been limited due, primarily, to the political condition under which of members to Congress elected

CITY TO REMOVE SNOW FROM SIS.
No Agreement Made With Conn. Co. or Any of
 Other Lines

Snow removal work on the local streets will be carried out entirely by the street department with no assistance from the Connecticut company or other transportation concerns running busses over the local thoroughfares. This was veri- fled this morning despite the fact that the Connecticut company of- dcials have agreed to remove snow from a number of streets in Bridge port where busses now run in the place of street cars.
 No Agreement Here
 Manager Charles Chapman of the Waterbury division of the Connecti- cut company stated when talked with this morning that no such agreement has been entered into with the local street department. He was at a loss to explain the Bridge port agreement. stating that the subject had never been considered here.
 Superintendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming stated that the city al- ways does the snow removal work and keeps blows active on all streets where busses run so that schedules may be maintained for the benefit of public convenience.
 Cost Sso.o00 Yearly
 Local snow removal work costs more than e5O.00O, annually. and the entire sum is borne by the city. When the Connecticut company had trolley ears running on certain lo- cal thoroughfares 1t helped piow the snow and remove some of 1t. Now. with buses running on prac- tically all of the local lines. the city street department has to blow the thoronghfaFes. Other Bridgeport bus companies have also agreed to do theiy share Of clearing streets over which they operate public service vehicles. Such an arrangement, it Is expected, Will save the city of Bridgeport considerable money.
