MADE KNOWN FOR SECOND TIME
GREAT BRITAIN’S TONNAGE
IS MISREPRESENTED
GENEVA. June 30. (£>)—With the
United States, England and Japan ap
parently as far as ever from a solu- j
tion of their disarmament difficulties, \
the technical committee considering i
ways and means of producing order
out of chaos, listened to the argu
ment by the chief of the plans of the
British navy who produced docu
ments to show* that Great Britain, to
secure adequate protection for herself
must control and maintain the sea
i
lanes covering 130,000.000 square j
miles of ocean.
Meanwhile Ambassador Hugh Gib- j
son, leader of the American delega-;
tion, declared himself to be a peren-'
nial optimist, but showed no indica- j
tion that America will withdraw from
the demands for the extension of the
I.
5, 5, 3 ratio to small cruisers. Presi
dent Coolidge, in a cable, expressed
confidence also that the conference
would prove successful.
The principal announcements were
| made by Admiral Jones for the Unit
ed States and Admiral Fredericks of
England, who exchanged broadsides
on technicalities involved in cruiser
building and superiority of armed mer
chantmen over small cruisers. It was
also made known for the second time
that Great Britain’s tonnage is not
correctly represented by figures. One
of the most important developments
was the tendency of Admiral Saito,
representing Japan, to lean towards
the American plans for disarmament.
Japan’s chief objection to the Ameri
can proposals is that the word “three”
does not meet favor in the eyes of the
Japanese public and they want it
changed to the word “four,” or
(5, 5, 4).
All ball players want to turn out
tonight at the ball park and do their
stuff, states Manager McLaughlin
upon whose broad shoulders has
evolved the burden of whipping a
eouple of teams into shape.

ROLE OF MAeiSTRATE
A new magistrate has made his ap
pearance in Seward, one T. P. Gra
ham. Yep! it’s the Reverand Gra
jham ond it came about in this wise.
J. P. Hannon, city clerk and magis
trate, has been away tor the last
week, way up in the Interior, and
due to a large number of drunks
run in last night, someone had to be
selected to hear the cases which
were arraigned for this afternoon.
“Reverand Graham is certainly a
handy man to have about”, remark
ed a local citizen this morning, “for
he appears to be exceptionally well
qualified to hold down just about
any position in town, from prescrip
tion clerk to an radio announcer.
We ought to tack the name of trav
eling parson on this bird as well.”

Capt. H. Berger, of the M. S. Dis
coverer, departed last night for
Kodiak and Iliamna.
The sun went down before anyone
reached the top of Marathon last
evening so, as far as can be learned,
no one in Seward saw the eclipse
which was due to perform last night.
Many people climbed the mountain.
WHAT LUTHERANS TEACH
MAN
Lutherans teach that man is nor
the product of an alleged evo’ation,
but was made by God through an act
of direct creation; that he was given
an immortal soul, was originally en
dowed with perfect holiness, and
created for eternal life; that, how*
ever, he sinned, deprived himself of
a loving communion with God, be
came wholly depraved, and fell a
victim to death; and that in his
natural state he cannot, by any pow
ers of his own, reestablish right re
lations with God.
