Personal Plea to Adjutant General
Won Cause for Territory of
Alaska
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 20, (By
Mail)—Had not Delegate Charles A.
Sulzer, of Alaska, discovered an omis
sion in the circular issued by the War
Department on June 4, announcing the
second series of training cafps for of
ficers, the territory of Alaska would
have been denied the privilege of hav
ing any of her sons wear shoulder
straps in Uncle Sam’s- new armies.
The circular in question made appor
tionments for all of the States of the
Union, on the basis of population.
Michigan got 482; Washington got
240; Oregon got 130; Arizona got 40,
and so on. But Alaska was left out.
Delegate Sulzer took up the matter
immediately with the Adjutant Gen
eral. He was informed that the Com
manding General of the Western De
partment had the matter in hand. The
Commanding General of the Western
Department replied to Sulzer’s tele
graphic inquiries that a special order
from the Adjutant General would he
necessary. Sulzer again called on the
Adjutant General and pleaded Alas
ka’s cause. He pointed out that the
Alaskan patriot would make a better
officer and soldier than his Eastern
brother and cited as an instance the
case of Captain Dan Pullen, of Skag
way, who went to West Point from
Alaska and graduated at the head of a
class of men picked from all parts of
the United States.
The Adjutant General was convinced
by the time Mr. Sulzer left and on
June 19 the ormal order was issued
allotting twenty places to Alaskans in
the second officers’ reserve training
camp at the Presidio. Cal. Nevada,
with a greater population than Alaska,
was allotted but sixteen men.
