COMMITTEE FOR
“DEFENSE TEST” IS
NAMED BY GOVERNOR
ROBERTSON HEADS TERRITOR
IAL COMMITTEE TO ARRANGE
FOR OBSERVATION
(Juneau Empire)
To make arrangements for Alaska’s
participation in the national “Defense
Test,” Governor Scott C. Bone has ap
pointed, at the request of Major Gen.
oral C. G. Morton, Commander of the
Ninth Army Corps Area, a Central
Mobilization Committee composed of
R. E. Robertson, Chairman, Mayor I.
Goldstein, Juneau, Mayor M. J. Mul
vihill, Skagway, Mayor Karl Bjorn
stad, Haines, Mayor L. V. Ray, Sew
ard and Mayor M. J. onroy. Anchor
age. “Defense Test,” has been des
ignated by the Secretary of War for
1 September 12, next, and is expected to
| he a national mobilization demonstra
! tion which will serve as an occasion
I for the assemblies and ceremonies in
I volving public manifestations of loyal
I ty and patriotism.
Recently Governor Bone was asked
by General Morton to appoint a cen
tral committee to formulate plans for
| such a general mobiligation which will
; include all units of the Army, State
S Guards, constabularies, reservists, civ
I ic and war veteran societies, etc. thru
out the entire country. The secretary
of War has asked that the civil au
thorities take hold of the suggestion
and work out plans which will make it
a sucess.
The underlying motive of the mob
ilization, it is said, is to test the na
tion’s military defense policy as estab
lshed in 1020 which calls for a small
standing army and a large number of
organized reserves and Federally rec
ognized National Guards. The mobi
lization will be carried out, without
expense to the Federal government,
exactly as if the country were assemb
ling its forces to repel invasion.
September 12 was decided upon for
the mobilization in honor of the real
first American offensive on the Allied
I front in France, being the sixth anni
i versarv of the battle of St. Mihiel. It
I is hoped that every town, city, mili
; tary post or camp and other commun
j Tty. in the entire country will aid in
| making the occasion a success.
Alaska has no state guards or or
! ganized army reserves of any kind
and. as pointed out by Gov. Bone to
Gen. Morton, this makes it a some
what difficult plan. He has suggested
that it will be possibly confined to the
Anchorage Barracks and Chilkoot
Bahracks with co-incidental of the day
in Territorial schools. The members of
the committee appointed for Anchor
age will co-opciate with Maj. Byrom
for a suitable observance of the day
there.
