lEARLY OPENING!
OF COAL ISM
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. — Pros
pects of an early development of Alns
’ Pa's vast coal fields appear brighter
* >w than ever, according to Delegate
i harles a Sulzer, of Alaska, who has
1 I een hammering away at dopartment
* al rules and regulations and govern
' mental restrictions of all kinds ever
* since he came here three months ago.
1 ■ Numerous conferences have been
* held by the delegate from Alaskn
’ with officials of the Interior depart
ment, with Secretary Dane, assistant
1 ; i the secretary, Herbert Meyer, Oom
1 missiooer Clay Tallman, of the land
* office, nnd Director Van Manning, of
the bureau of mines. It is Mr. Stilzer's
f pinion tnat by making the lenses a
8 little less harsh in their provisions, a
I- lumber of responsible • firms could
i- t e Induced to come Into the coal fields
I- nd open them up.
>. The aid of Mr. Franoht S. Peabody,
r halrman of the committee on coal
g production of the national council of
lefense, has been enlisted by Mr.
lulzer in the fight to open Alaska's
oal. Mr. Peabody is a business man
„ who has been given advisory charge
..f tho coal mines of the United States.
p lo appreciates tho handicaps under
which Alaska has been working, and
has offered his whole souled support
o Mr. Sulzer in the matter.
"The splendid part of tho .whole
(l light,” Mr. Sulzer said yesterday, “is
^ he fine spirit of co-operation shown
by the different organizations of Alas
_ ka, the newspapers of the territory
mm and the public spirited- citizens who
| ire interested in real development. 1
, appreciate all this; without it we
j could not hope to accomplish much."

BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLAS IN
BRITISH WATERS, Aug. 7. — Atop
:i steep acclivity that skirts the liar
lior of this port much like the Pali
sades of the Hudson river, hundreds
of villagers and folk from a nearby
city each night gather to watch the
Imerican destroyers the trim little
' l ighting ships Uncle Sam sent across
the Atlantic to combat the subma
rines. On a peaceful, beautiful, moon
light night these people have a pic
t lure of silent activity that Is hard to
beat.
i From their high perch the people
. | can see for several miles a vast ex
i panse of hills and water that make a
| wonderful setting for the fighting
i raft at their feet. The British and
] American sailors on shore leave bring
; their girls up there and men and wo
j men trudge baby carriages from miles
I around to watch the silent ships. It
j has come to be one of the most popu
i lar walks in the country; even the
I railroads run week-end excursions to
the spot, bringing hundreds of holiday
clad boys and girls from great dis
tances to see the Americans,
j Up to a certain hour the ships are
| outlined in the darkless by many
lights. Hut all the time there i* a
scene of activity on board and In the
water. The bluejackets with their
little white caps seem to be always
moving about, motor dories dart here
unil there among the ships, orders are
t'nlletl out and occasionally Is heard
the shrill warning of the horn on the
do lea. Always the dories are running
from ships to shore, loaded with men
going on leave or returning to ship
Wireless and searchlights, which at
night replace the ting signals and
se anphones. are exchanging messages
in I lights on board each ship flicker
ill and out in Morse code.
In the midst of all this Is heard the
strains of string music — guitars,
hen joe and violins — which seem to
l»e favorites with the American boys.
Pioni the deck of the supply or mo
th -r ship, which boasts a string or
nliestra of fifteen pieces, Hawaiian
melodics enchant the music lovers on
shore. Prom other ships music comes
from the phonographs, with which
every ship in the flotillas Is supplied.
On week-ends many of the townspeo
ple crowd Into small boats and swarm
at out the destroyers In thotr anxiety
to get as close as possible to the
music.
