MEARS REFUSES
 ID SEE ANYBODY
Shuts Himself In His Stateroom and
 VaIdezan Admission.

Lieut.. Mears, the member of the Alaska engineering commission, who passed through Valdez early Sunday morning on the steamer Mariposa to start the work of building the gov ernment railroad from Woodrow Creek to the Matanuska coal fields, refused to see any person from Valdez and gave orders that he was not to be dis turbed while the vessel was in this port.
 A number of Valdez citizens re- mained up until the arrival of the boat to pay their respects to the mem Der of the commission, others remain ed up for the purpose of striking him for job on the government rail- road, but both classes were denied the opportunity.
 It is reported that at Cordova, Jul neau and Ketchikan, the number of Alaskans seeking an interview in the hope of securing position with the commission has been astounding. The commission has all the men they need at this time and not even a position as bull cook at $75.00 month is open.
 Twentyeight steerage left Vadlez on the boat and took the chance that when they arrived at Anchorage they could find work.

.0|L KINGS BOY
 DENIES CHARGES
Says He Did Not Testify Falsely Be- fore Industrial ommission-Labor
 Leader Says He Has Proof.

NEW YORK, April 26-J. D. Rocke- feller. Jr., gave out detailed state ment today for publication regarding his connection with the Colorado strike of coal miners, which is to be investigated by the Industrial Rela- tions commission, and denies that he testified falsely before the commission two months ago.
 Chairman Frank Walsh, of the Colorado union, makes the charge, which he states he can substantiate with the letters sent by MT. Rocke- feller, Jr., to his managers in the strike zone; that Rockefeller himself directed almost every move made by the coal operators; that he wrote the letters sent by Gov. An1mons to President Wilson regarding the strike and that he knew and advised at all times with the men on the scene be. fore any decisive step was taken.
 The Industrial commission will re- open the case and again place J. D. Rockefeller, IT,. on the stand. because when first called he stated that he had nothing to do with the direction of the fight and depended on the judg- ment of his managers on the scene.
 Ivy Lee. of the Colorado Fuel com pany, is also charged with having tes- tif1ed falsely at his examination before the commission.

AMERICANS BUY
 GERMAN BONDS
First Foreign Loan Placed By Ger. Many-More Gold In Germany
 Now Than At Outbreak War.

BERLIN, April 26.-A group of American bankers through their az. ents in this city have purchased s1O,- 000,000 worth of government bonds. This is the first foreign loan floated by the Treasury Department since the present war began. All of the bonds so far sold have been willingly taken by the people of Germany, who have in many instances mortgaged their farms and homes in an effort to help the government.
 It is expected here that German Americans in the United States will subscribe to large block of the next issue. The gold reserve of the banks in the empire is now almost $500, 100000 more than when the war broke out. This increase has been made possible by the loyalty of the people, who have brought from hid den corners gold which had been out of circulation. Considerable old jew elry has also been brought in and exchanged for rings of iron.

AVIATOR TRIES ID
 SAVE FISHERMEN
Attempts Thrilling Rescue In San Francisco Harbor But Wind Pre-
 vents and Four Drowned.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 26.-In spite of the efforts of Henry Chris toferson, the aviator, to rescue four fishermen whose boat upset in the bay here yesterday all four of them were drowned. Christoferson made several attempts to reach the men and pick them up, but the wind was blowing a stiff gale and he dared not fly very low for fear that his airship would dip into the water and be un- able to rise out of the bay.
 A great throng of people watched his efforts and cheered him on to make the rescue, while score of fast motor boats tried to reach the scene to help the men, who were clinging to the upturned boat. The choppy sea prevented them making fast time and when they reached the spot all four of the fishermen had gone down.
 The bodies have not yet been re- covered, although police boats are searching for them.

GERMANS STILL SMASHING BRITISH L|NE|

NEW YORK, April 25.-(Via Say vile Wireless Station)-The Germans have rushed and broken the entire line of the Belgians, British and French in northwest France and Flanders. The infantry now occupy lines far in advance of the positions held last Friday. In some cases the entire British line has been killed or captured and the line is now held by reserve troops only. The losses to the enemy has been the heaviest of the present war. The fighting has continued day and night and the Red Cross branch of the German army has been swamped in endeavoring to care for the wounded troops of the German army and thaose captured from the enemy The fact that the battlefield remains in the hands of the kaiser's troops has resulted in most of the wounded being left to the care of the German doctors.
 Field Hospitals Crowded.
 Reports from Brussels, where the reserve hospitals have been estab- lished, indicate that not only are the base hospitals crowded to overflowing but all the field hospitals are swamp ed. Efforts are being made to relieve the situation by bringing to this city all the German wounded which can be moved and also to fill up the base hospital at Cologne.
 Hindenburg Commanding In West.
 The startling report has reached this city upon authority that appears authentic, to the effect that Gen. von Hindenburg, the victor over the Rus sians in two great battles in east Prussia, and who has so successfully held the Russians in Poland, although they have always outnumbered his command two or three to one, is now the supreme commander of the kai' ser's forces in the west, and that he has been transferred from Poland.

 troops in the trenches. Were it not
 for the fact that the acid also op- crates to prevent the Germans from
 occupying the trenches for consider able time after the acid is sent into them, the gain would have been greater. The British and French con- tinue to fight for the trenches as soon as the Germans endeavor to advance. In some instances, the wind having turned, the enemy have been forced to fall back or suffer the same losses as do the British and French soldiers
