SAYS GERMANS ADVANCE AND ALLIES RE-
 PULSED.
RUSSIANS ARE STOPPED
IF STORY CAN BE BELIEVED THE TEUTONS CAN
 BOAST.

BERLIN, April 22.-Considerable progress has been made by our army in the Lapretre forest according to the official announcement posted this morning. At this point the allies had made strenous efforts to force our line but this was followed by German offensive movement with the result stated. The forest is near St. Mihiel where the German wedge penetrates the allied front. But the most i'm portant news regarding the war in the west published today is that the French attacks in Champagne and Alsace have been decisively repulsed and the successes claimed there by the enemy have been entirely counteract- ed. The French attempt at advance in the department of Vosges has also been held at a standstill so that, if the official news is correct, the allies efforts have come to nothing. The most important news from the eastern theatre is that the Russian advance in the Carpathians has ben complete ly stopped now without question. The Russian attacks in the mountains and in Stryi pass have been repulsed with remarkable ease by the Austrians and Germans and the danger to Hungary appears to have entirely disappeared. It is also announced that instead of advancing from the east on Cracow the Russians are being driven out of Tarnow by the Austrian artillery fire which is fierce and deadly. The re- treat of the Russians at that point can only be followed by the retreat of the Russians in the mountains as their lines in the mountains would have their communications seriously threatened.

AUSTRIA AND
 ITALY AGREE
ROME REPORTS PEACE WILL CONTINUE BETWEEN
 THEM.

ROME, April 22.-It is reported semi-ofiicially today that the deadlock in the negotiations between the Ital- ian and Austrian governments has ended and that peace is now certain to continue between the two nations. The terms have not been published but it is assumed that Austria has listened to the advice of Germany and has ceded to Italy a great part of the territory asked for with the under standing that if Italy remains neutral and victory comes to the Teutonic powers Italy and Austria will evenly divide the spheres of influence on the Adriatic and in the Balkans. A speedy signing of the peace treaty is hoped for here in spite of the strong body of opinion in favor of war in some circles. The most significant fact connected with this reported agreement is that Italy has ordered all Italian ships engaged in the Trans atlantic trade to stop operation as they are needed at home. This order is deemed to be most extraordinary under the circumstances and in some quarters it is hinted that it can mean nothing else than that trouble is ex- pected between Italy and the powers of the Triple Entente, which trouble might endanger Italian shipping far from home.

ANCHORAGE NAME OF NEW P. O.
TURKS READY
 FOR INVASION
MOBILIZE STRONG FORCE TO MEET ALLIED
 ARMY.

ATHENS, April 22.-A strong Turkish army is now mobilizing to meet the allied army which has land ed on the shores of the gulf of Saros to attack the Turkish positions on the Gallipoli peninsula. The dispatch from Berlin to the effect that the al- lies have landed their army in face of the fire of the Turkish forts has ben confirmed and the outcome is now being awaited with a profound inter- est. It is the hope of the allies to take possession of the peninsula which forms the European border of the Dardanelles and which command the straits so completely that the passage of the warships would be a matter of comparative ease if the Turkish forces on the peninsula were dislodged. The attempt of the allies is a most daring one in the belief of military experts who believe, however, that the game is we'll worth the candle.

AUSTRIA NOW
 IS ATTACKING
TAKES UP OFFENSIVE IN THE CARPATHIAN MOUNT
 ANS.

PETROGRAD, April 22.-BukOw- ina is reported to be practically clear of the Austrians but it is admitted that the enemy has commenced a fierce and determined offensive move ment in the Carpathian mountains. They are launching particularly fierce attacks in the Uszok pass district but our troops are holding their own. The absence from the official accounts of any statement showing that We are advancing is taken to mean the admis- sion that our offensive has been brought to a stop at least temporarily. The feeling is general, however, that the Russian forces in the mountains will be speedily and strongly rein forced and that another advance will be tried.

SHIP CREEK IS
 NOT SHIP CREEK
THREE NAMES NOW GIVEN TO RAILROAD HEAD
 QUARTERS.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Ship creek, at which or near which the head quarters of the Alaska engineering commission will be, is now being load ed with the three different names. The coast survey bulletin calls it Woodrow creek after the president but the Post Office department says the name of the place is Anchorage and that the post office about to be established will be known as the Anchorage post office. However, the engineering com mission insists that the name is Ship Creek and no other so that there will be quite a contest to arrive at name that will be acceptable 60 all parties. The name given by the post office de- partmeut is expected to prevail.

NOON ASKS FOR THE
 MAIL ROUTE TO NOME Wants Capital Changed Before the New Capitol Building Goes
 Up At Juneau.

Representative John Noon must be given credit for fighting hard for Se- ward. He has come out bodily, right in the heart of the enemy's country" with a resolution asking that Seward be named the capital of Alaska before the capitol buildings are erected in the present site selected. The result of this proposal has not yet been re- ported He also asks that the mail route to Nome be changed so that 1t will come via Seward. The following is from the Juneau Empire of April 13:
 Representative John Noon of Se- ward wants the capital of Alaska moved from Juneau to Seward. He introduced joint resolution today asking Congress to send committee to Alaska and examine conditions, and report, "before the capital building IS erected in Juneau" The resolution further recites that as the location of the capital, Seward is the most desirable point.
 Representative Noon also introduc- ed a resolution, directed to the Post master General, asking that the mail now going to Nome over the route from Cordova and Fairbanks, be re- routed by way of Seward and Iditarod. The resolution ayers that 400 miles could be saved"
 Since the above was printed the dispatch came telling of the defeat of the resolution.

BRITISH MEET
 BLOODY ATTACK
GERMANS SAVAGELY ATTACK POSITION TAKEN FROM
 THEM.

LONDON, April 22.-The bloodiest fighting reported today from the western front is taking place for the possession of Hill sixty which the British took from the Germans last Saturday. The enemy is attacking the position savagely but the British ranks have remained firm. Several thousand men are engaged on both sides with the weight of numbers in favor of the Germans who are being sent forward with something like the old reckless disregard for human life. The attackers are losing frightfully but their determination to wrest back the position seems to be unalterable. The British now occupy the crest and slopes of the hill which commands a most important strategical point and whose possession is regarded as of the utmost importance.

ROOSEVELT IN
 A GAY HUMOR
TELLING ABOUT POLITICS FORM FER PRESIDENT ENJOYS
 HIMSELF.

SYRACUSE, April 22.-Theodore Roosevelt was in the gayest of humors yesterday as he sat in the witness chair for five hours and went in de- tail into the whole story of the politics of New York state and particularly in to the story of the recent election dur ing which the acts complained of by Barnes are said to have occurred. He seemed to enjoy himself thoroughly as he told of the acts of political bOs- sism in the state and tried to prove the truth of the statements against the plaintiff. Never for a moment did he display the least sign of irrita- tion or bad humor and a large crowd became so infected with his spirit that the courtroom was a scene of the most pleasant kind.

GERMANY MAKES
 STRONG DEMAND
EMBASSY AT WASHINGTON WANTS TO KNOW IN
 MUELLER CASE.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The German embassy today presented to the state department strong demand that information be at once given as to what the intention is with respect to the case of the German consul at Seattle. It was stated that this gov ernment would demand the recall of the consul and Germany has taken the bull by the horns and expresses the necessity for quick statement from the United States administra- ton.
 The demand of the German ambas- sador is couched in words that indi- cate the i'll temper into which Ger many has been driven by what it ap- parently believes to be the hostile attitude of American officials in the matter.

SAYS EDES WILL HAVE
 HEADQUARTERS HERE.
Juneau Paper Publishes Statement Which May Be Fact
 Overlooked.

That Chairman Edes of the engine ering commission will have his head quarters at Seward is the statement contained in a telegram from Wash ington, dated April II, to the Juneau Daily Dispatch. The Juneau paper al- so states in the same telegram that Mears will have his headquarters at Ship creek and that Riggs will go out to survey the grade to Matanuska. The telegram may be correct or not but it certainly looks as if the mem bers of the commission would dispose themselves in just such a manner.

.NOON'S EFFORT
 GETS KILLED RESOLUTION TO REMOVE CAPT. TAL TO SEWARD KNOCK
 ED OUT.
HANGING BILL PASSED
GASTINEAU CHANNEL TO HAVE THREE TEAM BALL
 LEAGUE.

JUNEAU, April 21.-The memorial to congress to ask that the capital of the territory be removed from Juneau to Seward has been killed in the house 1t was introduced by Representative John Noon of Seward and came up for action today with fatal results. It was pointed out by the supporters of the proposal that Seward is the most cen tral point in all Alaska and that it is the terminal of the railroad which will place it in easy touch with the inter for. Needless to say, the resolution was strongly opposed by the repre- sentative of he First division and Ju- neau need never be expected to agree to the proposal. |.
 Sulzer's bill abolishing capital pun ishment has passed the house and as it passed the senate it is now ready for the governors signature. Those opposing the bill in the house were Coombs, Day, Heckman, Driscoll, Moran, Noon and Collins.

The baseball club had a meeting last night at which the chief business done was the arrangement to raise funds which are necessary for the sue cess of the game here. Amongst other ways proposed for achieving this end it was decided to give dance on May Day evening which will be next Saturday week. Instead of charging an admission fee to the hall it has been decided to charge ten cents for each dance as a change from the usual custom. The boys are now about to get new equipment and it has been proposed to invite Valdez for a game when everything is ready for it.

Under the banner of ObrogOn are marching forty thousand men in the track of the former conqueror who IS now near Iraputo.

SYRACUSE, April 22.-The cross examination of Theodore Roosevelt be- gan this afternoon and is still pro- ceediug. A hot fight was developed when the attorneys for Barnes tried to prove that the allegations against their client by the ex-president were inspired by malice. Roosevelt indig- nantly repudiated the suggestion and warmly declared that any charges made by him against the plaintiff were suggested entirely by his desire for the purifcation of the political life of the state.

 NEW YORK, April 22-Three British cruisers are now patrolling the sea off this harbor and keeping a careful lookout for ships that might look suspicious. Should any vessel sail with supplies that might possibly be meant for direct or indirect ship ment to any of the Teutonic allies it will probably be followed or intercept ed by the Britishers.
