CEDING PAIIT OF ALASKA.
Representative Fralik O. Smith
of Maryland, speaking in the house
o* representatives some time ago,
says the St. Paul Pioneer Press,
advocated the cession of Southeast
ern Alaska to Canada. Upou first
thought Americans will be inclin
ed to laugh at such an outland
ish proposal, but if they will get
down their atlases and turn to
the map of that far northern ter
ritory they will find out, if thiey
did not already know it, that Al
aska is composed of two parts,
the great bulk of the country,
shaped almost like a square, and
a narrow strip running off toward
the southeast from the mainland.
That strip has for its hinterland
•sot Alaska, "but British Columbia,
which it parallels all along its
uorthem half. •' As congressman
Smith remarked in hia speech on
the resolution which he introduced
to give effect to his ideas on the
cession of this stri'i, there is at
present no urgent need on the
part of Canada for this portion of
Alaska because the vast country
which it borders is uot yet popu
lous, but It will be well peopled
some day, and it is Mr. Smith's be
lief that America might win Can
ada's undying gratitude by the vol
untary cession of Southeastern Al
aska, wlic-se outlets on the Pacif
: ic will be such a vital factor in
the development of the north coun
try which lies back of it. t
Representative Smith is a man
of large vision. He counsels the
presentation of part of Alaska to
Canada, as one link of the chain
o.{ friendship which is to bind the
while race together, and more es
pecially the United States, the
British empire, Germany, and.
France. In Mr. Smith's opinion,
the close leaguing of these nations
is the sole hope of the white race'
in the inevitable struggle with the
Asiatics.
"The white race can maintaiu
Its supremacy only through union.
Union among the leading white na
tions is impossible without mutual
concessions. The best way to urge
mutual concessions is by example—
by a model concession to Canada."
In spite of the eloquent appeal
of the representative from Mary
land, and the high minded patriot
ism which animates his program,
Congress has apparently taken no
action en his resolution empower
ing the President "to negotiate
with the British and Canadian gov
ernments regarding 'he transfer of
Southeastern Alaska to Canada by
sale or exchange or both. I

"Leap For Life" Off High Bridge
Photos by Americas Preaa Association.
IT tabes nerve—real nerve—for a woman to perform the daredevil feat that
Miss Constance Bennett did when she Jumped off the Williamsburg
bridgf. between Manhattan and Brooklyn. Using a stnall parachute
Miss Bennett risked her life and limb for the movies. She leaped frou
the middle of the big span, which is 157 feet above the East river. She de
scended all right and was fished out of the water by Hodman Law, a com
panion daredevil, who leaped separately, and by others who were waiting on
a tug Sh.' is the first feminine Steve Brodie, though Brodie. who gained bis
fame by 1.-aping off the old Brooklyn bridge, never used a parachute. Miss
Bennett is shown here in the clothes she wore when she made her leap Th«
other plctn'e shows her descending with the parachute
