TOULON, France, September IA
Imagine lying on hillside, 700 yards
from the huge, square, four-towered
Alcazar citadel, which dominates To-
ledo. just behind you there is farm
whose bullet Scared wall reminds you
of the range of the Alcazar machine
guns. But the citadel is too hard
pressed to think of you or even OF a
battery, a few hundred yards behind
to your left, which Is shelling its 30
foot-thick granite walls.
The Alcazar's 1,700 defenders, with
1000 women and children, have stood
a SiX-week siege. They have now
mostly taken refuge in underground
cellars, although brave men among
them are ready to repel every assault.
Through glasses you can see that
the northeastern one of the four
high towers has been demolished by
Loyalist shells and that the north
western tower is untenable and shaky.
Between them the wall has become a
steep heap of rubble which already
could be stormed If the assailants
threw hand grenades from below into
the courtyard and then followed up
with grenades thrown by men climb
ing up the breach.
Planes Bomb Tower.
But the Spaniards are historically
better at resistance than attack
and perhaps the Loyalists lack
grenades or men who know how to
use them So their artillery and
bombing planes hammer at the north
western tower, whose downfall will
make the breach wider and easier
for the stormers.
The position of the defenders seems
hopeless, and twice the government
has offered to allow them to sur
render, with promise of their lives.
But how can they surrender in this
conflict that is so merciless to pris-
oners? Why not fight on, with the
faint hope that Gen. frances column
can relieve them from Talavera?
In the subterranean cellars, as old
as the Moorish invaders, there is no
danger from shot or shell, but lights
have failed them and food-there is
nothing save arms in plenty, water,
courage and that faint hope of rescue.

PAUL TAKES NEW POST NEXT WEEK AS INDIAN AGENT
First Move Will Be Enroll ment of Indians to De-
 termlne Communities

William Paul, who has been ap- pointed field agent in the Indian Bureau in connection with the ad- ministration of the new Wheeler Howard act in Alaska, is expected to assume his new post the first oi the week, probably being sworn ir Tuesday.
 Paul said that his first plans in connection with the work will be the enrolment of the Indians to determine just who make up the various Indian communities. The work probably will be started in Southeast Alaska and later will spre d throughout the Territory. Paul said he expected to have five communities under the act by next year
 1 Oscar Lipp of the Washington Indian Office is now reported en- route to Alaska and he will work on the initial setup. There are actually two divisions of the work, Paul explained, organization and credit. The first makes the neces- sary arrangements for qualifying the communities under the act and the latter whether loans should be granted. This latter division is under the Indian Organization Act, division of the Indian service.
 Section 10 of the act sets forth the major provisions as follows:
 There is hereby authorized to be appropriated, out of any funds in the Treasury not otherwise ap- propriated, the sum of $1O,0O0 000 to be established as a revolving fund from which the Secretary of the Interior, under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe, may make loans to Indian chart cred corporations for the purpose of promoting the economic develop ment of such tribes and of their members, and may defray the ex- penses of administering such loans. Repayment of amounts loaned under this authorization shall be credited to the revolving fund and shall be available for the purposes for which the fund is established. A report shall be made annually to Congress of transactions under this authorization"
 Under the act $3,50O,OO0 of the $10,0O0,000 has been appropriated to carry on the work this year and of this amount Alaska gets ap- proximately one tenth, or about $35O,O00

CARDINALS TO MEET
 LOCAL TEAM TONIGHT

Tonight at 5:30 o'clock, on the Juneau diamond, the Cardinals, local minor league team, led by Irving Hagerup, will line up against a composite team selected by Ward McAlister from Legion and Elks players in the Channel League. the two teams eliminated during the season from a shot at the cham pionship
 The Cardinals have yet to be defeated this season and figure that the "big leaguers" are far from being too tough for them. The Cardinals have a well organized squad and early this year won a victory from the Douglas Islanders, now playing the Moose for the league championship.
 No definite lineup for the Legion Elks team has yet been announced, but it is expected that all the stars will take part, with Ward McAlister on the mound and Red Gray as catcher. Irv Hagerup and Al Bloomquiat are the battery choices for the Cardinals.
