TRAVEL STARTING.
Sidney Anderson, of the Bank of
.'Viohorag-e, is in receipt of a let
ter from Captain A. E. Lathrop,
Cordova and Anchorage theatrical
magnate, advising thait travel to
Alaska is unprecedented at the pres
ent time. Captain Lathrop states in
his letter that every steamer for
the next six trips is practically sold
out. Many of the northbound pass
engers. Captain Lathrop says, are
en route for Anchorage. By the
same mail, Mr. Anderson received
a letter from Maurice D. Leehy,
well-known Alaska-Seattle attorney,
which states that travel north to
Alaska far exceeds the southbound
passengers. Mr. Leehy calls atten
tion to the fact that not since the i
days of the Klondike rush has the
northern travel been greater. Mr.
Leehy predicts a continued rush into
Alaska this year, with Anchorage
receiving its quota of newcomers
AIRPLANE HARBORS.
Plans for the establishment of a
chain of airplane landing fields have
been worked out by officers of the j
army air service and the Manufae- j
turers’ Aircraft association, it was
announced ah Xew York recently.
Army flyers have covered more than
300,000 miles in an aerial survey
of the country and made exhaustive
reports of the faciliteis offered to |
cross-country flyers.
Representatives of 02 large South
era cities already have been invited
to establish landing fields under
army direction. Many others will
receive like invitations durng the
next few months. These must be
laid out according to specifications
given by the army, and in return
the Government gives steel hangars
to the municipalities. Operation of
the “air harbor” is assumed by the
municipalities. Since the armistice
the number of army fields has been
reduced from ">0 to 16 and the
naval air stations from. 17 to 9.
“The landing field,” says the air
craft association, “is to the air
plane what the harbor is to the
ocean liner and the railroad ter
minal is to the train. It is not
merely a flat piece of land on which
a flyer can bring his craft to earth.
Such a piece of ground bears the
same relation to a real landing field
as an unimproved water inlet bears
to a harbor like New York or Liv
erpool.
“A landing field should have,
first of all, dimensions which fit it
to handle all forms of aircraft. It
should be drained so as to permit
its use even in the wettest weather.
It should have shelter and supplies
for flyers and their crafts, and
should be accessible to the trade
center it is meant to serve. This
feature is of supreme importance,
because commercial aerial naviga
tion will develop only in proportion
to its commercal value. The field
should be identified wirth markings
visible from great heights, and with
radio apparatus so that flyers may
be aided in finding their way in
spite of fog or failure to identify
the country over which they are
passing.
“Fields at frequent intervals j
mean that cross-country flyers can
come to the earth for rest, replen
ishment of supplies and adjustments
to their machines without incon
venience or unnecessary delay. In
the event of a mishap in the air,
such as a stalled motor, the nearby
landing field permits the pilot to
glide to it without damage to the j
machine or to himself.”

BYJRISH GIRLS
KIEV.—Bodies of victims execut
ed by the Bolsheviki during their
occupancy of this city are con
stantly being found, and the first
estimate of 4,000 is evidently much
below the real total.
Three Irish girls—Eva, May, and i
Eileen Healy—who lived in Kiev
during the last six months of Bol
shevist rule, gave an Associated
Press correspondent an account of
Bolshevik operations.
“The autocracy of the Romanoffs,
with all its evils,” they said, “was
paradise compared to the Bolshevik
hades we have been living through.
“The last few months, when the
majority of the members of the
Kiev committee of Public safety
were always under the influence of
drink or drugs, transcended all con
ceivable awfulness. After every
meeting, huge heaps of empty spirit
and wine bottles and scores of mor
phine and cocaine bottles were
found.
“The members of the chief com
mittee sat before a cage with wood
en bars reaching to the ceiling. The
prisoners were marched through the
cage to be reviled and sentenced to
death. Afterward they were strip
ped naked and carted off to the
slaughter house.
“Another committee conducted its
proceedings in the open air in a
! beautiful garden. The judges
! sprawled over a table and pronounc
jed death sentences wholesale, drink
ing champagne in the intervals.
“One woman over sixty years old
was arrested and taken out several
successive nights to a firing wall,
against which she was placed while
shots were fired around her head.
This was done to extract informa
tion as to the whereabouts of an
jofficer’s son whom she didn’t even
know. She was finally executed. A
priest was crucified.”
Other British residents, said the
Healy girls, often, in the name of
their nationality, openly defied the
Bolshevik authorities and successful
ly concealed a number of officers
and other intended victims.

OPPORTUNITY TO
LEARN TRADES IS
GIVEN MARINES
WASHINGTON. D. C—Opening
wide the doors of educational op
portunity to every marine sent to
the Quantico, Va., training base, j
the United States Marine Corps In- i
stitute has been established there i
with an enrollment now of more j
I than two-thirds of the 600 men at ]
I the station. Marine corps heads who
| are sponsoring the new school plan
ito develop it until it takes rank
with the best institutions of prac
tical learning in the country. It is
to be a practical application, they
say, of the principle that “the more
a man knows, the better soldier he j
makes.”
j It has been possible to allot three !
•hours each afternoon five days a|
j week to the studies or practical
! training in the various courses. To
make this possible, all military drill
and training is completed in the
morning for all those enrolled.
These men, moreover, are exempt
from guard duty, which falls to
■ those listed for early discharge.
Building up the institution step
j by step, its founders plan that it
shall comprise not only a grammar
school, high school, and manual
training school, but eventually a
collegiate course equivalent to that
of the better small colleges of the
country.
So far thirty instructors have
been recruited from the commis
sioned and non-commissioned of
ficers of the corps, a survey of edu
cational acquirements among the
personnel at Quantico having dis
pelled an early doubt that it would
be practicable to build up a facul
ty without engaging civilian in
structors. The instructor in Span
ish, for instance, is a corporal who
graduated from a Mexican universi
i
Ity, and another corporal, a law
graauate ana tormer practitioner,
conducts classes in commercial law.
Former employes of big engineer
ing and industrial plants afford a
wealth of faculty material for the
technical courses, it was said, which
include automobile mechanics, elec
trical mechanics, conrete and sto ie
masonry, plumbing, etc. Completing
one of the courses, a man will be
I given a certificate of proficiency
j upon receiving his discharge, and
j thus returned to civil life a skilled
.workman, well prepared for his fu
ture.
