ON BOARD U. S. S. HENDERSOK
WITH PRESIDENT HARDING VI/
VAXDEZ, July 20.—(By Associate!
Press.)—The concensus of opinioi
among the official Harding part;
Axed after virtual conclusion of it
inspection cf Alaska, is that th
Territory will gradually develop, bu
tint no sensational boom can be ex
pectcd as a result of the visit o
President Harding- and Secretaire
Work, Hoover and Wallace.
It is expected that Secretar
Heaver will make his Alaskan pol
icy dear in a statement to be issue'
soon and it is undei stood it will b
confined largely to fisheries. It i
piobable he will suggest the crcrtio
cf additional fishing reservation
with a view of conserving the sup
ply against too raprd harvesting.
Secretary Work is said to favo
amplification of laws governin
homestead claims, simplying; them in
some way to make possible quickei
I issuance of patents by the Federal
government at Washington. In
I other lespects he is said to agree
, that the Harding administration ii
s not justified in recommending Con'
: giess to authorize large appropria
t'ticns tor Alaskan development, bul
-; is willing to ask Congress to provide
f j for developments as they are needed
ij Secretary Wallace has already an
nounced hsi conviction that the ag
j, ricultuial development of the Ter
- ritcry will be slow, and farmers in
li Alaska have many difficulties t:
:. overcome before they get the in
; dustiy on a plane where success ii
II assured.

DUBUN, July 20. There are
more than 62.000 persona without
work in the Irish Free State for
whom the government is struggling
lo find employment. The unemploy
ment difficulty, and the liberation
t1 12.000 political prisoners still in
terred, constitute Ireland's most for
midable problem.
It is estimated that the Free State
army now consists of 49,000 men,
and before the end of the year the
Minister of Defense hopes to bring'
thiB figure down to 29,000. The
government is puzzled to know whati
to do with the 20,000 soldiers when1

WILLIAM OF GERMANY STILL
RETAINS AUTOCRATIC REARING
Dooit.W -uly 20. (By Associate*
Press.)- William Hohenzollern, once
German eniporer. today in Doori
maintaliiH his imperial airs us of
old, according In the recitals of
those who from time to time confr
in < ontact with him.
The lalest story is contributed by
a traveling company of student ac
tors. Augmenting their slender in
comes by acting mediaeval mystery
plays in various Dutch and German
cities, the actors were requested to
give a performance al tile former
Kinperor's residence. Before doing
so they were received by William,
and they have since given their
Impressions of the reception
First they were instructed how to
behave. ‘'Speak to His Majesty
Just as the words come," said the
marshal. “Address him in accord
ance with tils exalted position, and
kindly make a very, very low bow.”
After being admitted to the house,
William and an officer appeared In
the hall. One of the students de
scribes William as having haughty
movements and superior airs. His
eyes are nervous and a hard pale
gray in color He has striking gray
eyebrows. Lines of age furrow hU
t
'irow, ami his mouth set-ms extra
M•(llnat•lly sensuous. His beard and
noustache have turned gray, and
ils complexion is unhealthy.
William wore a grey-green field
' ape and a green sporting hat. The
■itndent thought the civilian dress
! made him appear bourgeois. His
manner ot address was sharp and
Prussian.
William's foible of omniscience ap
oeared at once in his conversation,
and he started right in. "So yon
are going to offer ns mystery plays?
They are. of course, the plays that
reached such a flourishing condition
among the ancient Greeks—"
Then the former monarch proceed
ed to give a history of these play*
down to modern times. The marshal
whispered delightedly to the student:
“The Kaiser knows everything.”
In the evening the student-actors
played “The Dance of Death" and
the lyrical “Paradise Play.” Princess
Herniine. William's wife, was great
ly taken bv the plays and as she
came on the stage to thank the play
ers. she remarked: “You must come
again. Here one perishes intellec
tually. It is seldom that anything
of value is offered to us.”
