Forces in Alaska Increased.
Gen. George C. Marshall. Army
chief of staff. disclosed last week
that the United States now has in
creased forces in Alaska to 5000
troops and added the force repre-
sents a development more important
than the numbers would indicate"
He said the Armys share OF the
new Alaskan defenses was ahead OF
schedule.
The Army is building S13 200 900
air base at Anchorage and S4,oo0,-
900 cold weather experimental sta
ton" near Fairbanks. The Navy is
building three air bases on the Alas
kan coast for which S17,125, 900 has
been appropriated.
The troops and paval forces are
supplied now by ship and plane.
There have been proposals for joint
construction by Canada and the
United States of highway link
across British Columbia and Yukon
territory.
In the event of a Pacific war in
volving Alaska, officials plans are
understood to contemplate heavy re-
lance on air routes to prevent iso-
lation of the territory's defenders.
Anthony ]. Dimond, Alaska's dele
gate in Congress said in the Mill
tary Engineer, semi official Army
periodical, that much of the Cana
dian coastal region now is barren
alike of air fields upon which planes
might base and of roads by which
they, in turn, might be supplied"
Mr.. Dimond, champion of the
highway proposal, said such a road
could be constructed in possibly l8
months at cost of 100000 900.
In announcing action to raise the

Ginger is a Yank. one of those

Ginger, the Enfant Terrible, up
one afternoon helping to intercept

bomber and then got mixed up with
three Messerschmitt 109 fighters.
He kept them off until two other
Hurricans arrived. This was not

LONDON, Jan. II (NANAD-In
the last days of 1910 formations OF
500 or more enemy machines often
came to see us-mostly bomberS. be-
cause they had not learned their
lesson then.
-Four fighter escorts to one bomber
are rarely enough now! We have
changed our tactics with the new
year.
Several formations, were engaged
IN one great raid, coming in from
different directions with thin
spearhead of fighters leading them.
I may say that from September
to December, 1910, We were still not
organized properly, and the Spitfire
flights that went up to intercept
had to jump into the job over
whelmed by odds of 10 to l. The
best they could do was to fight a
delaying action, while help thun-
dered across the skies to them at
a speed of nearly 500 m. p. h. from
other fighter commands.
Saga of Saturday Pilot.
The tale I want to tell you is
that of Mac" a 22-year-old, who
had been what we call Saturday.
afternoon pilot before the war. He
had, that is, done a bit of potter
ing around in a little Spartan when
the weather was nice and he could
afford it.
He was just one undistinguished
unit of the Spitfire flight that
tackled that mad-bull German rush.
I believe the failure of that rush
broke their nerve.
Mac" with the others, went

middle of those Germans time and
again.
The Germans are good copybook
fighters, but they can't stomach cold
steel, and now we have found that
they don't care for anything in the
air that looks like ramming. If you
fly straight at them they will gun
you till you get very close and then
finch away.
That was what saved us that day.
Our machines charged the ferries
out of formation, charged them
whenever they tried to reform.
But there was a big twin-engined
Dornier II that acted like a sheep
dog, and whenever our planes broke
them up it fused and worried them
back into some sort of shape again.
1t happens in air fights that each
machine picks out an antagonist.
and presently Mac" was making a
dead set at the big Dornier. Closer
and closer he went to the German
leader, but luck was against him.
He perforated the aircrafts slender
body, but could not get home on
anything that mattered.
There were a couple of fighters
accompanying the Dornier and every
time our people tried to get near
these two opened up with all they
had. Definitely, I think it must
have had somebody important in
side.
y They ratified their guns at Mac"
several times, but he was so set on
his main target that he took no
notice.

consideration of the alternative
scheme, the United States Govern
ment have regretfully decided that
it would be impossible to adopt it
and his majestys government in the
United Kingdom, with the full con-
currence of the government of Trim
idad have notified their acceptance
of the original proposals.
"In doing so they have pointed
out that their decision involves GER
tain sacrifices on the part of the
people of Trinidad and have eX-
pressed the hope that the United
States authorities will do all they
can be minimize any disturbance in
the normal life of the community
which the establishment of the
bases may cause. The United States
Government have readily given this
assurance"
In announcing the London nego-
tiations for formal leases on the
base sites, Secretary Hull denied re-
ports which had been current on
Capitol Hill that Great Britain was
attempting to assess tariff duties
and property taxes against this Gov
ernment on the land and equipment
taken in to develop the bases.
Possible Origin of Reports.
He said the British had no
thought of assessing such levieS and
that the reports could have origi-
mated only from local officials in
the territories involved who were not
informed of the details of the agree
ment between the two governments.
Notes exchange with the British
government last September pro-
vided that the chain of base sites
from Newfoundland to British
Guiana should be leased to this
country for SO years free from all
rent and other charges other than
mutually agreeable compensation
to private property owners for ex-
preparation of their lands.
Canadian plans for building a
series of air bases along the route
from this country'S northern border
to Alaska were reported by the As
sociated Press. in a dispatch from
Ottawa The project would provide
the United States safe year-round
airway to Alaska for squadrons of
fast pursuit planes, for which better
facilities than provided along an
existing commercial route were said
to be needed. The new bases also
would be equipped to handle the
largest bombers. 1t was understood
that radio beams would be installed
along the entire route.
The reported project is in line with
intensified defense cooperation be-
| tween this country and Canada fol-

That was the time to bail out, and
80 pilots out of 100 would have done
it without delay. But Mac" made
no effort to save himself. What he
did was clear and deliberate and
obvious. He thought he would use
his smashed Spitfiere to do some
thing he had so far failed to do.
1t seemed as though that terrific
general air battle stood still for a
moment as the little British fighter
leapt across half a mile OF sky
straight at the Dornier.
Too late the German tried to
finch away. Too late the accom-
panying enemy fighters concen-
trated long bursts of fire straight
into the thunderbolt attacker.
There was stupendous explosion.
Great humps of metal slowly sailed

Thomas Mann Nearing End
Of Epic Work on Rise of Man
New Joseph in Egypt
Volume to Portray
Confluence of Ideas
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

One of world literature's epic
novels is nearing completion.
1t is intended to portray, not the
adventures of individuals but the
rise of man-and its characters are
symbols of humanity itself emerging
out of the demon n-haunted fog of
pre-hiStory.
Such is the Interpretation of
Joseph in Egypt" four volumes Of
which already have been published,
given by its author. Thomas Mann,
here to lecture before the Town Hall
at the Shoreham tonight.
In the present crisis, DR.. Mann,
now living in America, has become
one of the outstanding voices OF
democracy in the world. But his
true place in the world, as he him
self recognizes. is not political but
literary, and when he retireS to his
study he plunges into a theme that
is timeless-a current upon which
the troubles of the present are only
froth.
Joseph as a Food Minister.
The fifth volume of Joseph in
Egypt" on which DR.. Mann now
is working at his Princeton, N. j.,
retreat, will portray Joseph as the
food minister of the great Pharaoh
Iknaton.
Historically this is probably an
inaccuracy, he admits, but 1t gives
an opportunity to portray the flow
ing together of two basic ideas
which resulted in the monotheism
of Jadaism and Christianity. Jo-
seph had absorbed some of the
rather primitive Javeh concepts OF
his exiled Jewish people. Now he
was thrown in contact with one
of the most remarkable figures OF
all time
Iknaton has proclaimed the sun
god Ammon the 'one god of Egypt.
He had developed this worship into
a religion of extreme beauty. 1t is
curious. says DR.. Mann, how many
expressions in the Gospel of St.
John reflect the very words OF
Iknaton.
The pharaoh was religious
fanatic. Assuming Dr. Mann's flc-
tional history to be correct he must
have made profound impression
on his food minister-a synthesis
of all the Hebrews with whom
Iknaton came in contact. The ideas
flowed together. The long shadow
of Iknaton falls across more than
5000 years upon twentieth century
America.
Joseph Synthesis.
The character of Joseph, says DR..
Mann, is a synthesis. He makes no
effort to sticking to the Bible char
acter. 1t is a synthesis of the He

between the two countries have been
greatly strengthened.
Formal recognition of this in
creasingly important relationship
between Uruguay and the United
States is of particular significance
at this critical stage of world
affairs the department said.
Uruguayan officials have formally
proclaimed a solidarity of purpose"
with the United States and other
American republics in hemisphere
defense matters and have been dis
cussing details of possible military
cooperation, including Develop
ment of an efficient naval base at
Montevideo.
Discussions have been under way
for some time with most other Latin
American nations looking toward
development of a ring of defense
bases around the continent to be
used for joint defense. Officials
have emphasized that the United
States had no plan to lease or other
wise acquire exclusive rights in any
of these projected bases, but was
ready to help develop facilities over
which the individual nations in
volved would retain full sovereignty.
AS part of the broad co-opera-
tive policy, Secretary Hull has in
formed the Latin-American gov
ernments that the bases acquired
by this country from Great Britain
will be available for their use in
joint defense action.
Elevation of the rank of the United
States-Uruguay diplomatic missions
is the latest of a series of such steps
which leave Paraguay. Bolivia and
Ecuador as the only South American
nations in which this country's en-
voys rank as ministers, rather than
ambassadors. The process of raising

brew evolution out of the darkness
of primitive man into the culture of
the present. 1t is even more a syn
thesis of man himself as he emerges
out of the confusion of prehistory,
as his confused ideas and interpre-
tations of nature take shape and
crystalize into the dominant
thought patterns of modern times.
Joseph in Egypt" says DR..
Mann, represents the height of his
literary work-still his chief in
terest despite his deep concern in
the worlds current problems. He
led up to it in THE Magic Noun

known. Here the great rivers are

The Trinidad base sites covered
bv the agreement announced last
night include an area OF II square
miles for naval base in the north
west peninsula of the island, and
another 18 square miles in the center
of the island for the main Army
and air base. Small areas are pro-
vided elsewhere for an auxiliary air
field, supply wharves and water sup
ply and recreation facilities.
These sites were recommended by
the board of United States experts,
headed by Rear Admiral John w.
Greenslade, who visited Trinidad
last fall. Secretary Hull's announce
ment of the agreement quoted
statement by the Governor of Trini-
dad explaining the controversy
which had delayed final approval
of the sites.
The proposals made by the
United States mission which visited
Trinidad in October of last year."
the Governors statement said, "ap-
peared to the government of Trini-
dad to involve the risk of some dis
turbance of the normal life of the
community
Moreover the site selected for the
naval base comprises and commands
access to an area and resort that
have for many years formed the
main holiday grounds of the people
of the island.
Alternative Plan Offered.
"These considerations led the
government of Trinidad to put for
ward an alternative scheme based
upon their own proposals for the
reclamation of some 25 square miles
of marshland on the west coast of
the island, which had been formu-
lated before there was any question
of United States bases in Trinidad
by Mr.. Robert Grinnell, the Ameri-
can chairman of the Trinidad Hous-
ing and Town Planning Commission,
and Mr.. R. H. Beard, who was re-
sponsible for the construction of the
new deep water wharves at Port of
Spain.

tive scheme necessitated somewhat

Properties Sold For
Delinquent Taxes

County Treasurer Edwin 8. Dor
Gus on Tuesday, August IL, sold
nine Cecil County properties for

The percentage collected by the
treasurer was 1915 as against 80
per cent under the old system. The
new method of collection was auth
orized in 1885 and the first year
over 80 tax sales were advertised.
The number of sales grow less each
year which indicates that the new
system is not only good for county
collections but for the taxpayers.
The following properties were
sold: Mamie G. Wilmington, pur-
chased the Louis H. Horn property
in the First district for $29; .Alonzo
