Ambush 50 Men
The Sioux were not long in letting
the intruders know Just what a chunk
they had bitten off. The Fetterman
disaster of Dec. 81, 1866, was enough
to chill the heart Of the bravest sol

Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Fetterman
and 81 men from Phil Kearney, the
hated fort on the Little Pney,' were
ambushed and slain by the Sioux, I'M

AGAINST the explicit orders Of Gen.
Henry B. Darlington, commanding Of

pursued them to a CORY death, meted
out by several thousand hostiles. Fet-
terman had boosted that he could whip
the whole Sioux nation. He ate his
words that day. The Indians swarmed
over the soldiers like flies and Dashed
their heads in with clubs and rifle
butts. Very few white men were killed
by bullets or arrows.
The Fetterman disaster was severe

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Sept. A. Outside defense contractors are "rak- ing tremendous fortunes out of AL aska and making profits that he IS reliably informed are not less than 50 per cent Gov. Ernest Gruening told the Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce yesterday.
 Gov. Gruening said the failure Of the. Legislature to adopt his tax program means this profit, as well as wages of defense workers, can not be taxed by Alaska and is being lost. never to return.
 The Governor further accused the mining and cannery interests, "so ably represented" in Juneau during the legislative session by w. c. Arnold. Ketchikan attorney, as being ssunpatriotic and unenlightened' for opposing his program.
 Arnold, who was at the meeting, challenged this statement. He said he was unwilling to delegate anyone to say who is patriotic or unpatriotic on the basis of opposition or support of tax program.

 Worries Empire

TOKYO, Sept. 1.-The Japanese people were told by one govern ment-supported publication today that the United States and Britain are pushing rapidly to a goal or world domination, and another pub- lication gave them comprehensive set of air raid rules telling them read them in getting ready for att tacks.
 The foreign Office backed Diplo- matic Review said the British American intention to dominate the world became clear after the Att lantic meeting of Roosevelt and Churchill.
 The intention to use Vladivostok as an entry port for material aid to Russia continued to be empha- sized, and the newspaper Yomiuri said that Japanese fishermen, re- turning from Siberian Kamchatka Peninsula. reported seeing two large Soviet freighters leaving for vlad- ivostok, presumably loaded with arms and ammunition.
 The Cabinet Information Boards weekly report told home owners not to pay attention of wild rumors concerning possible air raids on Japan.

The Battle of Russia is surging to climax today on the four principal sectors of the main Russian front, on the immediate approaches to Lennigrad on the north, on the frcnt west of Moscow, on the rail- ways and highways converging on Kiev and the siege ring around the city of Odessa.
 Russian sources said the assault of Leningrad is now threatened on the north by the victorious Films, but in the south, the Germans have been checked.

 Pravda, the Russian news agency, admitted "The beastly, treacherous enemy is breaking through ap- breaches to the city" The inhabi- tants of Leningrad are turning out to build deep and continuous de- fense lines to meet the foe, de- termined to turn the approaches into graveyards of the invaders attacks.

WASHINGTON-Despite all the denials and counter -denials about an out-and-out government cen- sorship of the press, the real in- side fact is that the Navy Depart ment did try strenuously to per- suade Congress to appropriate $796,OOO for censorship.
 The request for this money was made by Captain Herbert K. Fenn, of Naval Intelligence, with the blessing of his superiors. In fact, the request for funds was trans mitted officially by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy to Senator Adams of Colorado on the Senate Appropriations Committee. Later Captain Fenn appeared before the committee and made vigorous plea for funds ito deal with cen- soring outgoing and incoming cables and other items"
 The Navy even wanted to start a school to train censors.
 Part of the discussion was off the record and good bit of it was deleted from the committees pub lished hearings. In the end tn e Senate Appropriations Committee turned the Navy down. Hence the barrage of denials. There will be no censorship, at least for the time being.

Just tough word to pronounce to most Americans. Vladivostok is growing in world importance as the Far Eastern open gate through which will move Uncle Sam's lease lend aid to embattled Russia.
 The other water outlets of the U.S.S.R. are limited to the gen. erally icebound ports of the north and the internationally shared Baltic and Black seas, now parts of the war zone in the west. Vladivostok is ice-free except for a short period in winter and ice breakers then permit continuous open passage. It is about as far north as Boston.
 A Natural Fortress
 High surrounding hills and a winding channel entrance from the sea of Japan adapt the city readily to fortification. Back of the city ring of fortresses stud the ridges and in 1889 a Soviet "Maginot line" of concrete pill boxes four-deep was reported com plete. Vladivostok is also naval and air base.
 Founded only 80 years ago, vladivostok is situated at the end of a narrow hook of land that bends south from the main boey of Siberia. To the west is Man us'Jakuo and to tFa east tsiis sea. San Francisco is 5,27O miles away by the most direct shipping lane. Moscow and Leningrad are 5000 miles to the west.
