n { " THEATRES
FOR WESTWARD
TOWNS

Capt. A. e. Lathrop has returned
from Anchorage, where he is extern
sively interested in the new railroad
terminal. He is just completing the
erection of the largest business block
there, which contains FIVE store rooms
already rented. The Captain is also
arranging to open a moving picture
theatre at Anchorage. He is enthusi-
astic over the agricultural possibili-
ties of the country to the westward
and says Anchorage is the distribut-
ing station for all of the interior Sec
ton.
On his way over Capt. Lathrop stop
ped off at Valdez and closed deal for
new building there, to be ereectd
on the Blackwell lot, and in which he
will establish one of the, finest thea
tres in Alaska. The building is to be
25x116 feet, with sixteen foot ceiling
and the work of construction was
started today. The floor is to be ele-
waited and the furnishings of the best.
There will be lobby 18x25 feet, with
plate glass front. The building is
to be heated by steam and when com
pleted will be credit to Valdez.
In order to make his circuit of show
shops complete Captain Lathrop will
also start "movie" at Seward and is
now dickering for lease on a new
building there.

PEDD[ERS MUST.
PAY TAXs50
PER DAY

A regular meeting of the Common
Council was held last night in the
town hall. Besides the approving of
the bills the council voted to appro-
pirate $4,000 to help build the road
to Old Town, which is being construct
ed with the $160O.OO appropriated for
that purpose out of the Forest Service
moneys. 1t is felt that with this ad-
ditional 100000, the road may be COM
pleted as far as the Old Town. Many
of the citizens of the Old Town have
expressed a desire to offer their as
sistance to complete the road if the
money available is not sufficient, and
Superintendent Corser has promised
to complete the road to the lake from
where, BARLEY Howard, the contrac-
tor leaves off.
An ordinance was also passed tax
ing itnerant peddlers and merchants
$4,000 a day for a license to do bust
ness within the corporate limits. The
ordinance enacted is similar in it's
provisions to the one formerly in the
ordinance book, but which was void as
an illegal exercise of the city's powers.
The present ordinance is allowable
under an act passed by the last legis-
iature, which went into effect July 20,
1915.

7s2 LOTS SOLD .....
At ANCHORAGE

Andrew Christensen, chief of the
field division of the Juneau land office,
was in Cordova on Sunday, on his re-
turn home from Anchorage, where he
conducted the government sale of lots
at the new railroad terminal.
Seven hundred and ninety-two lots
were sold for a total of $167,21O of
which one-third was paid in cash.
There remains about 400 unsold lots.
For the benefit of prospectors and
other people desiring a temporary
home at Anchorage, who prefer to put
up their own tent or cabin, the rail-
road commission has established a free
camping ground" said Christensen.
This includes some 300 lots rs by so
feet on which anyone is at liberty to
put up temporary dwelling. There
are probably $50 people in this camp
already. g.
The municipality is in charge of
J.. A. Moore of the land office, whose
title is that of manager, although he
is in reality the mayor. J. G. Watts
is city engineer and DR.. H. w. Slough
ton is health officer.
"A city dock has been built at the
mouth of Ship Creek. at which launch
es can discharge at high water. The
finest building in the new townsite is
the postoffice.
Faith in the value of the govern
ment railroad as permananent aid to
developing the interior is shown by
the fact that bidders paid more for lots
of the same class that at the first
sale"

WE AID HER FOES
 GERMANY ASSERTS
Note To Bryan Protesting Against Sales of Arms and Failure To Stop
 EngIand's Food Blockade.

1 WASHINTON, April 24.-Germany has sent note to the United States government complaining that Amer ] ica has accomplished nothing in it's diplomatic correspondence with the Allies to obtain for American ex- porters the right to ship foodstuffs to the civilian population of bel ligerent country. The communication also intimates that the United States has virtually acquiesced in the Brit ish order in council prohibiting com nerce with Germany.
 In view of these considerations, the German government then calls atten- tion to the fact that the Allies are obtaining every day large shipments of arms and ammunition from deal. CTS in the United States, and declares that the American government, while insisting on it's legal right to ship arms to belligerents, does not with equal energy pursue it's right to ship foodstuffs and non-contraband articles to the civilian population of Germany
 The note urges that irrespective of the formal aspects of the question of shipping arms to belligerents, the spirit of neutrality should be observ- ed. In support of this contention, a quotation is cited from President Wilson's address to congress on Mex ican affairs in August, 1913, when he said:
 q shall follow the best practice of nations in the matter of neutrality by forbidding the exportation of arms or munitions of war of any kind from the United States to any part of the republic of Mexico-a policy suggest ed by several interesting precedents and certainly dictated by many mani fest considerations of practical ex- pediency. We cannot in the circum stances be partisans of either party to the contest that now distracts Mexico, nor constitute ourselves the virtual umpire between them"
 No Law for Embargo.
 It is asserted that there is no law by which the president of the United States can exercise the same authority, even if he were desirous of forbidding the exportation of arms to all belligerents, because to do so without authority from congress would be unconstitutional.
 From the outset the viewpoint of the American government has been that it's position with respect to the shipment of arms has been enforced impartially as to all belligerents, and Secretary Bryan's letter to Chairman Stone of the Senate Foreign Rela- tions committee discussing this point contended that if the Germanic allies were unable to enjoy the same ad- vantages as to the delivery of arms into their country this was due to the naval superiority of Great Brit ain and not to any circumstances ov- CT which the United States had any control.
