WAR IS HELL SAID SHERMAN; ON THE FEET,' SAYS GROVER
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct. Il. = We have seen enough of these army maneuvers in the past day or so to convince us that the next war, just like the last one, is going to be hell on the fleet.
 That goes in spite of the motori- zation that supposedly moves the army through the war with the greatest of ease.
 There is still an awful lot of walk ing in war, and just plain stand ing around waiting for somebody else to do something so YOU can do something.
 Stonewall Jackson or old Gen. eral Forrest Che wasn't a Manassas general ) would have shuddered until their boot buckles rattled if they could have seen how the Bat tie of Bull Run would be fought in these modern times. Bull Run is a muddy little rivulet about 30 miles south of Washington where the North and the South first really tangled in the war that was expect ed to end in two weeks but lasted four bloody years

S0vIETS, LITHS
 SIGN up TREATY
Red Army Given Right to Have Gdrrisons-
 Liths Get WiIno

MOSCOW, Oct. 1.-The Soviet Russian Government has signed a treaty with Lithuania by which the Red Army is given the right to gar rison unspecified places and giving the Liths the ancient capital of Will no which the Soviets took in par titioning Poland.
 The treaty is for Is years and pro- vides for mutual aid against aggres- sion.
 The Soviets will supply the Liths with arms.
 The treaty is almost identical to the Estonian and Latvian pacts.
 Russia, by the pact with the Liths, is the greatest gainer as the result of the present war. At present Soviet Russia has virtual protectorates over a chain of Baltic states through pacts granting military and econom- ic concessions.
 Lithuania is the only Baltic State however, which has profited terri torially from the pacts following Russian-G German collaboration in dividing Poland.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1939-10-11
(By Associated Press)

Following pacts which Russia has made with a chain of Baltic Sea states by which both military and economic concessions have been ob- tained, Finland today feared she is the next to lose.
 A Finnish delegation, headed by former Premier Juho Kusti Paasi- kivi, has reached Moscow for talks which will disclose just what Russia wants from her former Finnish Province.
 Finland's apprehension is express ed in quickened military prepara- tions and also a blackout practice which was resorted to last night at Helsinki, Capital City of Finland.
 Civilians Take Warning
 Civilians, answering the warning made late yesterday by Minister of Interior Kekkonen, to evacuate the leading Finnish ports on the Gulf of Finland, are leaving for the interior. women and children especially, as a precautionary measure agalnSJ un- forseen developments.
 The Finnish Government, how ever, is keeping her exact reaction to the latest Russian maneuvers. mobilizing of naval power on the Baltic and concentrating troops on the frontiers of the Baltic states, an official secret, but there is no doubt that the little nation is pre- pairing for possible trouble.
 The Finnish Capital City is being steadily evacuated by the civilian populace.
 The test blackout last night was the first since the European war outbreak.
 Defense Measures
 Other defense measures have also been instituted although the govern ment insisted that no mobilization is planned. but certain moves under the surface" indicate action.
 It is understood Russia will make demand for the right to fortify several small islands in the Gulf of Finland and guarantee Aaland Islands will not be fortified.

 Senator Clark said the policies of the President himself have not been reassuring, and the stocky Missouri an proclaimed in emphatic tones that careful scrutiny of the Presi- dents recent proclamation of a limited emergency showed that it contained no limitations.

Germans Sage Celebration
 OnFaIse Rumor of ArInisiiee

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-The population indulged in a brief but false armis- tice celebration last night when a multiple of rumors-"end of the war Collapse of the British Govern ment = Western Powers suing for peace"-started in Berlin.
 The rumors spread from mouth to mouth, not only here but through out the Reich Work was interrupted and friends embraced.
 The populace thronged the streets of all large cities and in the vil- lages.
 The source of the rumors is a mystery.
 Newspapers and radios made de- nials and blamed the rumors on a shameless frivolous trick of the British Ministry of Lies"

as were he making application at recruiting office in any of the larger cities.
 Many Applicants
 Recruit depots are filled to over flowing with applicants sent in by the forces in the field, Major Quiz ley said, and prompt shipment to the station selected is promised. Current orders are to the effect that the new recruit will not be held for a period of longer than seven days at the place of enlistment. For those who select foreign service as signments, army transports are sail ing on schedule to carry these men to their overseas station.
 The quotas for the air corps and nti-aircraft units seem to be the big drawing card, the major said. Heretofore men were usually placed on waiting lists for these services and sometimes it was many months before they were called.

 The First Lady has summed up her birthday philosophy with the observation that a person doesn't feel so old if she refuses to get ex- cited about birthdays.
 The only official celebration at the White House will take place to- night at dinner. A cake with the traditional 21 candles blazing on it will be carried in and set before Mrs. Roosevelt.

GOVERNOR IS PAID HONOR
 BY FRIENDS
John Troy, Retiring Alter Six-Year Term, Prdis-
 ed dt Dinner Here

Gov John w. Troy, retiring Sum- day after six years as Governor of Alaska, was honored last night at l a testimonial banquet at which his good works on behalf of the Terri tory were saluted by nine speakers and attested by the attendance of nearly 200 friends, a throng which filled the Baranof Gold Room to i capacity.
 The Governor, speaking briefly at the conclusion of the program, said the people of Juneau were in his opinion the finest bunch of people ever collected together in one spot.
 T told somebody" said the Gov ernor, that I didn't make any promises when I became Governor But I do make you one now. I am going to stay right here in Juneau and work with you anyhow"
 HelIenthal Postmaster
 Jack Hellenthal was toastmaster for the affair, introducing the speakers, each of whom was lead- CT in civic or territorial affairs, with brief remarks which added much to the occasion.
 George Parks, Governor from 1925 to 1883, welcomed John Troy into the ranks of Former Cover nors of Alaska" He said that if Gov Troy had happened, under like circumstances, to have been last night in Ketchikan, Wrangell, Pet ersburg, Sitka, Skagway, Cordova, Seward, Valdez, Anchorage, Fair banks, Nome or any other place in the Territory of Alaska, he would have just as many friends attend such dinner to honor him.
 Judge James Wickersham, Alaska Delegate to Congress for IA years, commented on the "aid and com fort7 furnished by John Troy, though he was a political opponent of the Delegate, in the long fight for home rule for Alaska. Judge Wicker oiidHi odiu llN liOpSd JllC OiB dlllC Act, passed largely through the eff forts of John Troy, Gov. Alfred P. Swineford and himself, would re- main unchanged until Alaska be- comes a State.
 City's Thanks

 Charles w Carter, speaking on behalf of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce and the Pioneers of AL aska. said that unlike many of the Territory's officials in the past John Troy is an Alaskan and his heart is in Alaska
 "The one bright spot in this resig- nation" said Carter, lis that even after Gov. Troy goes out of office

THEY OBEY RULES

On that old battle-ground, and at Plattsburg in New York, the army is conducting maneuvers to test out its new equipment and some of its new generals From what we saw and from what we were told, both equipment and generals worked well ut the confounded roads weren't wide enough. Besides that, when the army is conducting a mock wal everybody has to obey the rules That takes all the fun out of a good war
 Old General Forrest, the black smith who dropped his anvil ano became one of Americas greatest soldiers, once said that the way t. win battles was to "get there fust- est with the mostest men," One o1 these later day generals at the Manassas maneuvers tried that and almost lost the war. He was supposed to start his march for Bull Run and glory at T am, but he started instead at 6:50. He got there fustest with the mostest men but an umpire sent him back. The "en- emy" had to shaye time to finish breakfast.
 With these modern high-speed tanks a 10 minute head start means grabbing off five miles of Virginia countryside. Also thou sand army trucks can jam 50 miles of Virginia country road until a greased pig couldn't squeeze through. When that happens the boys go to war as they have from times be- ginning. The boys get out and leg 1t across the fields.

 Hastily and badly organized, both Feds and Confeds were about to take to their heels before the battle was
