ABOARD THE 8. s. URUGUAY.
ALI day we have been skirting the
east coast of South America while
King Neptune dunked his neophytes
IN the ships pool.
His majesty of the long, flowing
beard and trident commanded q
score Of nimble assistants who be-
gan the Initiation with bride and
bridegroom and worked up to a
pair of mysterious, well-dressed,
cigar-smoking detectives.
The latter passengers are on some
rather grim business of their own.
But on the southwark journey they
can and do relax. Oddly enough
they're both Irish and tops at deck
sports and horse play. Thus they
have become popular and well
known.
When they were led blindfolded
and handcuffed before the throne of
Neptune great shout went up:
Here come the cops! Give 'em
the works, your majesty! So they
won't talk?"
Plastered With Spaghetti.
To say the detectives got a thor
ough going over would be putting it
mildly. 1t was no fault of Neptune
or his assistants If the policemen
failed to feel the bump going over
the Equator. (See picture above.)
The blindfolded victims got an egg
shampoo and ice in their bathing
suits. They were plastered with a
hundred yards or so of spaghetti
and seasoned with ketchup and
various sauces.
Little is visible on the fiat, low
coast of South America-now a
purple rim on the horizon some 20
miles of the starboard side. With
binoculars one picks out an occa-
sional exotic-looking palm and pill
lars OF smoke In an otherwise flaw
less sky. The smoke must rise from
swamp flres-like those in Dismal
Swamp, near Norfolk.
The ship is continually passing
strange little fishing vessels with
sails OF fantastic shapes. They bob

It's amusing to see big, sun
burned men accustomed to bawline
orders now having to take them
from a tiny Spanish school teacher.
The officers come siding in when
they're tardy, and they don't talk
back to the teacher.

 Too much and too long has this country depended on the great British Navy protect its shores So far the reliance has proved not to be misplaced Sup pose however that at the end of the present the British Navy crippled scattered in the hands of it's enemies!
 It is time for the United States to put off short pants and play a mans part in a world of practical events Things going on in Europe and the Orient call for a re-appraisal of own defensive armor.
 Is it not clear for instance that with the situation across the Pacific disturbed and threatening and with the situation across the Atlantic worse America needs two strong fleets the and in the air for each of her long coast lines? The Panama Canal facilitates the passage of naval vessels from one ocean to the other but it would be of little help this country attacked from both directions at once.
 Ever since the last war the United States has pretty consistently neglected the Navy One naval officer is quoted as saying War now would catch us with an obsolescent and obsolete battle line, with no replacements in sight for two years"
 It takes time to build In the last war it is recalled we placed hurry-up order for PTS destroyers, but got only 12 into service. The present Congress has been liberal in appropriating for ships but they be completed before 1944, unless hurry-up pro- gram is insisted
 Recent figures indicate that America, Britain and Japan all have about the number of battleshps but Britains are newer and in some cases larger.
 Of submarines have less than half Germanys number quarter as many as Italy, third as many as France etc. Of modern cruisers outnum- bered by Britain and Japan The same proportion holds for modern destroyers. We are promised plenty of ships in all these categores by 1944 but good things might happen in the next five years
 Judicious neutrality legislation should help keep us out of But adequate preparedness is more answer to threats of involvement There is danger in delay Full speed ahead should be the order of the day in defensive building.

GOVERNOR TROY

John Troy can count himself fortunate man. Not one in a million comes to the end of his biggest assignment as rich in honors and friendship as the Governor of Alaska who will retire this week after six years service in office and many times six years service as an Alaska citizen and leader
 Ample reward for such a man it is apparent to the 200 who attended the inspiring testimonial banquet the Baranof Hotel last night is the esteem in which John Troy held by all Alaskans in the twilight of his long life of service to the Territory
 AS many of the speakers said last night it would be impossible to recall brief meeting all of the things John Troy has done for Juneau and for Alaska By the things that went unsaid, as much as by those which were mentioned, is John Troy honored That so great accomplishment as obtaining the Douglas bridge for Gastneau Channel for instance, should go unmentoned among the Governors achieve ments is testimony to the stature of the accomplish ments for which we all honor him.
 With the citizens of Juneau and Alaska, the news paper which John Troy built and which will always bear the mark of his genius and Inspiration joins in wishing him long life and the happiness he so richly merits
