FLOATING MINE
STILL MENACES
MERCHANTMAN
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 9 (cor
respondence of the Associated Press).
—Floating mines in the Dardanelles
and Sea of Marmora still constitute
great danger to navigation. Several
ships have been lost since the armis
tice through mine explosions. The
armistice required Turkey to indicate
all mines, but it has not been possible
in all cases to. give their exact
position. Minesweepers have been al
work for some time, but nava!
authorities say it will be man>
months before vessels can proceed
through the straits with safety. Nc
navigation is permitted at night. Or
passenger vessels lifeboat drills art
held regularly, just as in days wher
submarines menaced the seas.
Even in the broad stretches of the
Aegean sea the greatest precautions
are taken against floating mines. , Ir
certain areas passengers are required
to wear life preservers, and narrow
lanes of travel have been marked oul
for pilots to follow.
But it is in the Black sea that th<
greatest danger exists. Not only ar<
there numerous floating mines there
but extensive unmarked mine fields
laid indiscriminately by the Germans
Russians and Bolsheviki. They are a
constant menace to shipping. Th<
steamer bearing the American Red
Cross mission to Rumania narrowlj
missed a floating mine while proceed
ing to Constana. Often these mines
are carried down by the swift currem
in the Bosporous straits to the set
of Marmora, where they are an ever
present danger to the hundreds o
naval and merchant vessels.
Naval authorites say it will bi
several years before the waters o
Europe are entirely free of floatin;
mines. Many of the German mines
destroyed by allied trawlers wen
found to have been moored by rope
When the rope rotted the mines broks
from their anchorage and drifted ii
many cases to the main line o
steamer travel.

PATRIOTIC
RESOLUTION
INTRODUCED
Representative James Bogan,
youngest member of the Alaska ter
ritorial legislature, and the only mem
ber who -.vas drafted for war service,
introduced in the house a resolution
demanding that the government take
steps to deport those undesirable first
paper citizens, who surrendered their
papers rather than share war burden
of their adopted country.
The resolution leads as follows:
"We. jour memorialists, the legis
lature of the Territory of Alaska, da
most respectfully and earnestly
represent th^t:
“Whereas, the exemption of aliens,
both declamts and non-declarants,
during the late v.ar wah one of, the
most trying experiences of the draft
boards throughout the territory; and
“Whereas, Alaska having a large
population of foreign born residents
engaged in the fishing and mining
industry, enjoying equal privileges
with the citizens thereof, it is a de
plorable fact that when the draft was
called into effect these foreigners
immediately claimed exemption, and
many refused to stand by the country
which offers them more advantages
than their mother country.
“Now, therfore, be is resolved, that
the action of such aliens was
cowardly, disgraceful and unpatriotic,
and every such person whether he be
alien or citizen who refused to
respond to his country’s call branded
himself as a dangerous and undesir
able resident.
“Therefore, we, your memorialists,
pray that congress pass a bill deport
ing all aliens who have surrendered
i their first papers, and making it im
1 possible for non-declarant aliens to
; become citizens.
i “And your memoralists will ever
i pray.”

LOUVRE GEM COLLECTION
AGAIN ON EXHIBITION
PARIS, March 18 (by mail).—The
lavish jewel collection of the Louvre
i will soon be on exhibition again. The
collection was removed from the
Louvre when the Germans made their
threatening drive towards Paris.
M. Dalimer, curator of the museum,
: took the jewels away with him per
: sonally to Bordeaux, carrying in his
vest pocket the most precious of the
stones, a jewel valued at $2,000,000
: and known as the famous Regent gem.
BUILDING IN LONDON
CHECKED BY UNREST
LONDON, March 18 (by mail).—
With the signing of the armistice it
was expected that building operations
in London, suspended by the war,
would be quickly resumed. But so
far there are no signs of a renewal of
work on a dozen or more huge unfin
ished structures in various parts of
the city.
Labor unrest is the cause assigned
by one big contractor for this state of
affairs. “If it were not for the labor
unrest,” he said, “I believe we should
be so busy that we could employ the
services of every man available. The
unrest is not confined to the building
world. Manufactures, banks, insur
ance companies and other large cor
porations which have been thinking
of rebuilding are for the present
holding their hands.”
