GREAT BRITAIN IS ON SPOT, CZECH CRISIS

pins under his normal average, and probably garnered more splits for the IS games than anyone in some time. Metcalf and Stewart were far below par, and only Ugrin gave any indication of fairly consistent bowl ing for the series. Henning turned in tice games, but slumped badly last night.
 Houston didn't come up to their 955 average by far, although for the most part showed pretty consistent bowling. Arlla who maintained an average of POP for the first 10 games, slipped some last night, and Turn ham, the Houston anchor, beat him out in grand total by three pins for an average of 195 for the series. An other of their aces Leonard, got off to a bad start the first night, but managed to come back fairly strong in the succeeding nights play. Ceil- ing and visibility seemed to be poor for Showalter, for at no time did he get going for any scores.
 Houston took honors for high games with 1915 and 1914 while Ju- neau got third with 981. Juneau also took low game with BIO (smirk) Honors for high single game were divided between Metcalf of Juneau and Arlla and Leonard of Houston all of whom knocked down PAS dur ing the series. Dubious honors for low game went to Showalter of Houston with 124. High five-game series went to Arlla with 1920
 While Juneau hardly expected their challenge to be taken up SC early in the season, they gave a fair account of themselves at that and all in all the series just com pleted was interesting, and complet- ed a milestone in long distance bowling. Scores for last night and series totals follow:

School Enroll
 Surpasses All
 Previous Years
Supt. Phillips Estimates Attendance of 1000
 by June, l939

Enrolment in the Public Schools has surpassed and broken all pre- vious records for attendance in the history of the Juneau schools. There are 541 students registered in the grade school, with 234 students in the high school, making a total en- rollment of ITS pupils.
 In comparison with previous school enrolment are the following figures of interest: 1937-8, SIT stu dents were enrolled in the grade school, and 197 in the high school the total being TIA; 1936-7, 498 grade school and 153 high school, with a 651 student total, and in 1935-6 457 were registered in the grade school and 196 in the high school, making a total of 653 students en- rolled.
 Of interest, also, is the fact that the class of "39' will be the small est graduating for the past several years. However, the present eighth grade boasts of a total enrolment of 80 students.
 Glasses in the high school are filled to capacity and class room space is taxed to the extreme.
 In the grade school new pri- mary teacher was necessitated making three first grades in the Juneau schools for the first time in history.
 Superintendent Phillips estimates by the close of the second week an enrolment of more than 800, which will also break past records for at- tendance. All available space in the grade school is being utilized fol class room purposes. The new pri- mary room will meet in the lunch room. Seventh and eighth grade classes will be conducted in the auditorium. In the high school classes are being taught in the gym nasium and study hall. It is esti- mated that more than 1000 stu dents will be enrolled by June. 1889

Carl Lomen Says Seward Peninsula Country Is
 Still Moving Ahead

Carl Lomen, prominent Seward Peninsula business man and rein deer king, passing through Juneau on the Denali today from Nome, professed the stout Lomen family adherence to the Republican party, but admitted that Seward Penin- sula is pretty much Democrat
 As for other bright aspects in Lomen's thriving section of Alaska, Lomen said mining is simply boom- ing"
 First part of the summer was dry, he said, but it rained most of August and when we left a week ago. there was almost too much water"
 Owning a bulldozer in the Nome country is good business. Lomen said a few operations were forced to shut down by lack of water early in the year, but those who had bull dozers and no property to work. hired out to other companies and "got $1O0 a day for the 'dozer."
 A little quartz mining is being developed, Lomen said, and new interest evinced in tin mining at Cape Prince of Wales, with en- gineers looking into both placer and lodes.
 As for reindeer, Lomen said the reindeer committee saw the herds under poor circumstances with cold weather keeping the herds back in the hills and only a small number of the animals being observed.
 Alfred Lomen will be coming out in December, Carl Lomen said.

BRITISH IN TOUGH SPOT

LONDON, Sept. 9.-Evidence is mounting in support for an unmis- takable British warning to Germany before it is too late" Ministerial meetings are weighing the senti- ment regarding a positive declara- ton. It is claimed at discussion re- garding the Czecho-German crisis, that British sons in all walks of life have been shaken out of their in- difference on the European crisis and are urging strong declaration at once.
 It is recalled that the indecision and delays of the British Govern ment in 1914 put the British Gov ernment on the spot for many months.
 This weighty decision now before the British Ministry confronts the Government at the same time France is pressing the British to follow Frances example in wartime preparedness.
 One informant said Great Britain has so far failed, by diplomacy. to convince Germany she will fight if Czechoslovakia is invaded.
