In view of the fact that the European war will probably lessen the opportunity of climbing in the Alps, Mr. Bradford Washburn has kindly offered to furnish at cost to any member of the American Alpine Club prints of the National Geographic Alaskan photographs, which would be useful to climbers contemplating expeditions in that territory. Nearly 4000 negatives are available, covering approaches to most of the big unclimbed Alaskan peaks. Apply to Mr. Washburn at New England Museum of Natural History, 234 Berkeley St., Boston, Mass.
