Rear Admiral T. T. Craven, U. S. Navy, commandant of the Put get Sound Navy Yard and the 18th Naval District, accompanied by his aide Lieut. Comdr. F, P. Olds. U s. N, will leave Seattle on April 25, aboard the steamer Alaska for a 30-day tour of Alaska. Visits will be made at Ketchikan, Juneau, Sitka and as far north as St. Paul in the Pribiloffs.
 The commandant and his aide will join the radio station tender Swallow at Juneau and will be talk en by that craft to the far-flung Alaska settlements and naval sta- tions. They expect to be back in the navy yard late in May.
 Tfie trip of Admiral Craven to Alaska is more than a business juor- nay for him, a sentimental interest being connected because of the fact Mrs Cravens mother was born at Sitka Baron von Klinkofstom, a captain of the imperial Russian navy and Mrs. Craven's grandfather, was assistant to Governor Baronoff at Sitka The yard commandant ex- poets to visit the old home of Mrs. Craven's relatives.
 Admiral Craven, in a jocular com menti on his approaching trip, de- clared this morning that the main mission of his cruise was to restrain his aide from violating the Alaskan game laws, but that he would be prepared for self-defense in the ev- cnt that a Kodiak bear should not approve of his intrusion.
 The naval officers will visit with Gov. John Troy at Juneau.
