 In World War tradition both Russia and Germany have stepped up their aerial offensives. At Ger any's rear western front, Rritain's aerial offensive thus far has been her principal active aid to Russia, and has gained hitting power daily.

s(H00L5 CROWDED AT ANCHORAGE,
 CLASSES ROTATED

Short on teachers and school building space, schools are going tc open at Anchorage on September 8, it was announced here today by Commissioner of Education James Ryan.
 Faced with almost double the en- rcllment of a year ago, the An chorage schools have increased their staff from 25 to 33 teachers and may have to add more, Ryar stated. Although the enrolment fol this year is not known definitely it is not unlikely that it may reach 1000 children, he said. Last years school enrolment at Anchorage was 617 children.
 Until buildings are available classes will be rotated in existing buildings, Ryan said. in order to crowd all the school-age children into the classes.
 More teachers may also be needed at Sitka and Kodiak, Ryan said land classes in these cities may also be rotated to meet the accomo- dations in crowded buildings.

CRUISER RLAuN(H1|N6, LUCAS, DEpARIUIRE BOTH POSTPONED
Shipyard Strike in New Jer- seyDeIays Completion
 of U. 5. S. Juneau

E A strike of shipyard workers at Kearny, New Jersey, has delayed the departure of Mayor and Mrs. Harry I. Lucas on their vacation, it was learned here today.
 One of the principal events of the planned vacation is to be the launching ceremony of the new cruiser, U. s. s. Juneau, now near ing completion at the Kearny ship yards. Mrs. Lucas is to christen the ship.
 Originally, the launching was set for october T and the Lucases planned to leave here via .PAA plane tomorrow. A telegram from the Department of Navy last night informed Mayor Lucas that due to the recent strike in the shipyards the christening has been postponed until October 25.
 Because of this change in plans, Mayor and Mrs. Lucas will not leave for their vacation until later this month. And because of their postponed departure, special ses- sion of the city council last night did not name temporary mayor to act in the absence of Lucas.
 Principal subject of discussion by the councilmen was the planned cement sidewalk from South Frank lin Street to the Alaska Juneau Mine offices. After talking the sidewalk project over, it was de- cided to take no action on the start of construction work until after an examination of the site by Mayor Lucas, Frank Metcalf, city engin- ger, and J. A. Williams, superin- tendent of the Alaska Juneau Mine. The three are to investigate a rock slide above the sidewalk location, which may neceSsitate either the building of retaining wall or con- plete clearing out of the slide area.
 No decision was reached, either, regarding the wrecking of several old houses along the route of the proposed sidewalk. It was indica- ted that the city crew may do this job or bids may be called for the raging of the structures.

Will that Wheeler Roosevelt Enmify
 Rank Among Hisiory's Classic Feuds!
BY ALEXANDER K. GEORGE AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. - The feud between the President an d Montanas Battling Burt Wheel CT has become the No. political animosity of the battle-studded Roosevelt administration. It may turn out to be one of the classic enmities of American political his tory.
 Since the days when silk-stock- inged Thomas Jefferson and Alex ander Hamilton almost came to blows in the cabinet of President Washington the voters have been stirred by history-shaping feuds of "big shot" politicos.
 Senator Wheeler, long rough and tumble political fighter, has been the generally recognized lead er of the opposition in President Roosevelt's two most spot-lighted struggles-over the Supreme. Court enlargement plan and over the country's war policies
 War, the threat of war and party splits have dramatized the nations famous political antago- nisms. Most of these feuds have been between members of the same party. One deprived Maine brilliant James G. Blaine of tnt Presidency.

was nominated, Conkling's failure to support him prevented his cleo tion.
 The feud started while both were members of the House of Representatives. On one occasion when Blaine was making a speech, Conkling interrupted him several times. The annoyed 'pluned knight said Conkling "strutted like a gobbler" and resembled "a singed cat" The New Yorker never forgave him for that.
 When Blaine was running against Cleveland for the presidency, he sent an emissary to ask Conkling's aid in the campaign. The latter's answer was: T have long since given up the practice of criminal law" Cleveland nosed out Blaine, winning New York states electoral vote by a slim margin.

A Tdle Of Woe

They sit there, the sorrows
and burdens of ages imprinted
on their faces. Resentment OF
the great injustice imposed up
on them is mirrored in their
blank countenances. They are
thinking of the future, when,
gray and hollow-eyed after
this gruesome experience, they
will drag themselves along,
mere shadows of themselves,
mere shadows of humanity.
They think of the sad sweet sor-
row of another year in this den
of knowledge. They chew their
pencils. They rattle their papers.
They gaze upon the ceiling, up
on the walls, upon the back of
a neighbor's head. They have,
eventually, the dazed look of a
child whose candy has been
taken away. Their spines feel
funny; so do their brains. In
fact their brains are in such a
peculiar state that they have
become vacuufs. Who are these
tottering pillars of mankind?
They're a class taking a semes-
ter test.
