may commune on Until Chey get a
permanent appointment In order to get
greater benefits when they do transfer
to the Reserve. In this connection, it
was explained, 1t is the policy Of the
bureau to authorize transfers to the
Fleet Naval Reserve as much as two
years in advance.
An item in connection with the
transfer TO the Fleet Naval Reserve
with the benefit Of Is or 20 years
service, which is not generally under
stood in the forces afioat, Is that men
with broken service over the period
July /, 1925, are eligible only for
transfer to class F-5. Specifically, this
works as follows: Suppose a man had
10 years service In May, 1925, and
that he was paid of and stayed out
four months, then in September, 1925,
re-enlisted. In September, 1885, he
would have 20 years total service and
be eligible for transfer TO the Reserve
The thing great many Of them in
this class do not know, it was asserted.
Is that they are not eligible for transfer
with the pay benefits of 20 years
service-that Is, into Glass F-4-D-but
eligible for transfer only to class F-5.
This means that the retainer pay after
serving 20 years is only about $63
per month. If this service had not
been broken over July /, 1925, his re-
tainer pay after 20 years service would
be $63 plus IS per cent Of $l26,
plus 10 per cent for extraordinary
heroism or for 95 per cent average
marks In conduct, $l03.95.
It was explained that the bureaus
policy was arrived at after due con-
sideration and the fact that heretofore
the privilege of requesting transfer TO
the Fleet Naval Reserve was seriously
abused by some men In order TO obtain
their personal ends concerning change

Navy to Resist British
Plan for Tonnage Cut
copyright, 1885, International
News Service)

| News Servtce)
The American naval high COM
mand intends to resist vigorously
any move by Great Britain at the
next naval conference to induce
this country to reduce drastically
the size of battleships and
cruisers.
This was learned today as re-
ports reached the Navy Depart
ment indicating Britain intended
to renew its efforts to get this
country to limit new battleshipS
to 5000 tons and cruisers to 1000
tons with siX-inch instead Of eight
inch guns.
The Navy opposes the smaller
type ships because the United
States, unlike Great Britain, does
not possess many far-flung naval
bases and therefore needs vessels
with a long cruising radius.
Naval officers pointed out that
both Great Britain and Japan pos
seSs a greater merchant ship ton
mage than the United States and
therefore, would have an advantage
in war time.
The Nays attitude is that if
the naval powers with greater
merchant tonnage are to be per.
mitted to mount six-inch guns,
then the American cruisers should
at least be equipped with arma-
ment powerful enough to out
fire those potential armed mer
chantmen.

She is Marie Rose, 23-year-old
cabaret dancer, who confessed
that she stabbed her spouse,

started after her in a drunken
rage.
Her confession was somewhat
mumbled because Marie was eat
ing as she talked. When taken
to the station, Mrs. Rose can
didly admitted the killing but
said the details would have to
wait until she had nourishment.
They compromised and as she
munched an egg sandwich and
washed it down with coffee from
a milk bottle, Mrs. Rose gave
account of her deed.
Asked if she was sorry, she
took another bite, chewed while
she thought and then said, be-
tween swallows:
I'm a way I am and in a
way I'm not. He abused me
so much he had it coming to

me, I said, 'all right let the

ment can safeguard that legal
right. It establishes a National
Labor Relations Board to hear
and determine cases in which it
is charged that this legal right
is abridged or denied, and to
hold fair elections to ascertain
who are the chosen representa-
tiveS of employees.
"A better relationship be.
tween labor and management
is the high purpose of this act.
BY assuring the employees the
right of collective bargaining it
fosters the development of the
employment contract on q
sound and equitable basis.
"By providing an orderly pro-
cedure for determining who is
entitled to represent the en-
plOyeS, it aims to remove one
of the chief causes of wastefuI
economic strife. BY preventing
practices which tend to destroy
the independence of labor, it
seeks, for every worker within
its scope that freedom Of
choice and action which is
justly his.
BOARD INDEPENDENT
The National Labor Relations
Board will be an Independent
quasi judicial body. 1t should
be clearly understood that it
will not act as mediator or con-
ciliatOr in labor disputes. The
function of mediation remains,
under this act, the duty Of the
Secretary of Labor and of the
Cancellation service of the De-
partment of Labor. 1t is impOr-
tant that the judicial function
and the mediation function
should not be confused. Com
promise, the essence of media
ton, has no place in the inter
probation and enforcement of
the law.
"This act, defining rights, the
enforcement of which is recOg-
nized by the Congress to be nee
essary as both an act of common
justice and economic advance,
must not be misinterpreted. 1t

major cause of labor disputes,

Naval Maneuvers Ordered to
Acquaint Officers With

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5
IINSD.-As a result Of this
years Pacific maneuverS, strate-
gists of the United States fleet
have decided an enemy from the
West could reach this country
only through the Alaska-Aleutian
area.
This decision was evident IN
an announcement from Admiral
Joseph Mason Reeves, command
er-in-chief of the fleet, that a
strong force of American men O.
war would visit the northern
waters this summer.
80 Ships Dispatched
He said IA cruisers and 16 de-
Stroyers are to visit Alaskan ports
between July 10 and August /,
calling at Sitka, Ketchikan, Jul
xeau, Petersburgh, ngell,
Skagway, Yakukat Bay, Meta
katka, Seward, Resurrection Bay,
AUX Bay and Dewey Anchorage.

Acquaint the officers with the
northern waters, bays and anchor
ages, and likely sites for air bases
and submarine bases. It is the
plan of the Fleet high command
to bring this first hand informa-
ton to all officers soon as pos
Sible.
Previous to this spring the only
American warships to visit the
Alaska-Aleutian area were a cou.
pie of destroyers and a few air
craft, and they were bent mainly
on exploration and geodetic sur
Veys.
Hawaii Held Safe
Then came the 1885 maneuvers
to test the security Of the Ha-
waiian Islands. The "Black'
fleet, a. light and fast force, went
to Alaska and swept down on

the white" fleet, made up Of

wise a replica of the United
States fleet in war time.
It was shown that Pearl Har-
Dor, the Navy's. base at Honolulu,
although needing some improve
ments, could accommodate the
fleet and was we'll protected.
This meant the United States
mainland was safe from attack
from the west by any comparable
force as no hostile fleet could
go by and leave an American
fleet on its flanks. In other
words, Hawaii would have to be
subdued, a very difficult task.
Alaska Weak Point
This left Americas West Coast
open only to raids by aircraft and
submarines from the Alaska-Aleu'
tian field. The probability Of such
raiding operations was reduced by
experiences of the ''Black" forces.
They found flying conditions so
bad their aircraft could not oper'
ate.
The conclusion was: Keep a
strong fleet in the Pacific with a
fine base in the Hawaiian Islands
and no enemy will ever get closer
to the Pacific Coast than the base
E,4O0 miles out.
However, the possible "open
door," the AlaSka-Aleutian angle
of the great Alaska-Hawaii-San
Francisco triangle, is being rap.
idly investigated by the fleets Of
ticer personnel.

Shell tried to explain the enormity of the crime he had committed and that the off cers of the law were liable to take hold of him at any time but he paid no attention to the warning and continued to make threats against the life of MT. Shell.
 Later, Nicolai returned to his domain on the Matanuska but in the winter of 1891 he came into Knik with the av- owed intention of killing MT. Shell. He came to the station armed to the teeth, but MT. Shell was prepared for him. He had a tower built 25 feet high, on the blockhouse style,

 Following the killing of Mic olai, there ensued twenty eight days of the most vigi- lant watching from the tow CT while the mercury stood at freezing point or lower. The white men were compelled to take turns keeping watch on the natives to prevent them from surprising the whites and murdering everybody. Finally the tundra broke and the Matanuska Indians were forced to fall back into their own country.
 The Indian Afnacie, was still at large and there has never been any attempt to apprehend him, although he is the one actually respons- ible for the committing of the murder by Nicolai.
 It is only a few years ago that a native murdered a girl (1ndian) at village on Susit na river, and burned the body. This crime has been ov- erlooked by the authorities and has passed underneath.
