WASHINGTON, May 20 — Never, in the opinion of
Charles A. Suizer, delegate front Alaska, was the need of
full home rule for Alaska more clearly shown than in the
tight now being made a gains: the-biil "to regulate the kill
ing and sale of certai 1 gan o animals in Northern Alaska. ’
Here is a matter in which hundreds of Alaskans are inter
ested vitally, and with the conditions surrounding whicn
they are thoroughly familiar. They are more interested
in the preservation of the game of Alaska than any other
people in the world, and the.. have more deeply at heart
than any one else the desire for proper laws regarding the
killing and sale of the big ga-ut* of the territory, the dele
gate points out; yet great •*. . s.-ure is brought upon con
gress by gun clubs and others of the States, who do not
know conditions in the North, urging the defeat of the
game bill which was introduced by the representative of
the people of Alaska at the request of his constituents.
And there is a possibility that tins interference may prove
disastrous. If Alaska had full home rule this matter
could be handled by the territorial legislature, without
interference; and laws could be enacted for Alaska by
legislators of Alaska in accordance with the wishes of the
v.nie of Alaska. j
This is but one instance of interference in Alaska
matters by outsiders. Few bills ever come up in congress
pertaining to Alaska that <i > not meet with serious opposi
tion from outsiders who think they know conditions in the
North, but who, in fact, have only the most vague fdea of
the people, the country, the business, the life and the needs
of the territory.
Such interferences make the delegate more and more
determined to secure for Alaska such home rule that the
people of the territory will have the power to make such
laws as will be suitable to the country, and he believes they
are more capable of enacting legislation pertaining to.
their own affairs than any congress could possibly be, and
more capable than any state in the Union.
Another good effect that home rule would have on
the territory, Mr. SulzCr points out, is that the people will |
realize the importance of sending their best citizens and ,
most able men to the legislature. The capable men will be
more willing also to assume the burden of office, even
though at a loss to themselves, realizing the importance
m
of having men in the legislature who are in a position to
draw up and enact into law such acts as will hest serve the
interests of the territory.

AIRPLANE CIRCUS TAKING NOTABLE
PART IN WESTERN FRONT FIGHTING
LONDON, May 29 — The airplane “circus” which
was introduced by the Germans two years ago- has taken
> notable part in the fighting on the western front recent
ly. The use of the word “circus” in this connection has
tow become recognized among both British and French
aviators. It indicates virtually a specially organized troop
of picked pilots whose job is simply to destroy enemy air
planes.
These circuses are complete units, equipped with their
own transport mechanical shops, and all necessary acces
sories. Whereever there is lighting to be done, the. cir
cuses move quickly to the danger point. If a big attack
is to be made by either side, the rival circuses are moved
to aerodromes in that district, and each endeavors to pre
vent the other’s reconnaissance machines from operating.
The circus performs,- in fact, precisely the functions of
Iestroyer flotillas in the navy.
The first circus was formed by Captain Boelke, one ot
the early German star pilots. He collected a number of
picked pilots’ including the Richthofens, Voss, and Schae
fer, of whom the two latter have been killed within a year.
Boelke himself was killed in 1916, and the elder Richtho
fen took over the circus.
On the British side, the reply came in a squadron or
ganized by Major Hawker, which the Germans called the
“Anti- Richthofen Circus.” Ultimately Hawker fell in a
ight with the Richthofen.
During the fighting of the past few weeks several cir
•uses of picked pilots have been in action on both sides.
They have reduced fighting in formation to a fine art, each
pilot manoeuvring as one of a team and refusing to be
drawn away from the formation into single-handed fights,
