eral question of submarine operations
by requiring the United States to re-
new its efforts to get Great Britain
to abandon its starvation" policy in
return for an abandonment of the
German submarine program. II they
accomplish this they probably would
have accomplished all they expected
from their submarine program, any
how.
The best German thought in this
country has been concentrated on
these questions for nearly a week now
and 1t may be said positively that
their views already have been COM
municated to Berlin in one way or
another. For this reason there is a
disposition here to accord some i'm
portance to them, for II is argued
that unless the German government
actually wishes break with the Uni
Ted States it will accept the advice of
Germans who are closely in touch
with American public opinion and the
attitude of the administration in

TO
GRADUATES SUNDAY
Beautiful Music Appreciated by
Large Audience The Rev.
Robert Reeves Delivers Ap-
propriate Address.
EVERYBODY ENJOYS SERVICES

The musical program given at the
Methodist church Sunday night was
beautiful and in excellent taste for the
evening services i'll honor of the c. H. 5
graduates. The music was arranged by
Mrs ] Proctor Keith and every number
was appreciated.
How sweet and beneficial it would
be to close this evenings program with
these musical numbers" said the Rev.
Robert Reeves, but we must not leave
without speaking for Jesus Christ "
Mr.. Reeves gave as the subject of his
sermon to the graduates, THE Choice of
Two Kings" He told the graduates
about King Solemn and all his glory
how many things he accomplished un
der the sun and yet everything was van
ity and vexation to him. Then he told
the story of the life of Christ. How he
worked from day to day for several
quiet years and in the end found hap
piness and success not only for himself,
but others. Fear God and keep his
commandments in your amusements,
work and every phase of life, and even
if you do not acquire wealth, you will be
rich. These were the thoughts given to
the class of 1915. Rev. Reeves encour-
aged them to enter college, if they
could and too not be in to big hurry to
get out in the world to attain temporal
success.
Those, besides the graduates, certain
ly enjoyed this baccalaureate sermon.
1t was guidance from things earthly to
things heavenly.

REPLY MAY Be
CONCIL|ATORY
Believed Germany viii Try 10
Prevent Break.
EXPECT TO ASK ARBITRATION
Germany, II 10 Thought, Will Aban-
don Submarine Attacks on Shipping
Only II England viii Abandon Its
Policy Of starvation"

Washington, May 17.-If Berlin &C
cepts the views held by influential
Germans in this country it Is
certain that the German governments
reply to President Wilson's note about
the submarine operations will be con.
ciliatory and persuasive in tone, and
will contain several suggestions cal
culated from the German point OF
view to avert all danger of break
between the imperial government and
the United States.
Germans here refuse to see in the
presidents note any castigation of
the German government at which
they should take offense, and are de-
voting themselves entirely to formu-
lating such arguments as can be
brought to bear in support of the
German submarine operations, which
resulted in the Lusitania disaster, in
q way which they hope likely to ap-
peal to the American public mind.
THAT is, they are refusing to indulge
themselves in the temptation to get
6h6iy tit lhotCuu
are endeavoring to present ways in
which they hope it can be smoothed
over.
The views held in Berlin regarding
the United States's position on the
submarine operations are not definite
ly known here, but certainly the most
interesting phase of the situation as
It exists in Washington is the effort
being made in German quarters to
bring about an entirely amicable ad-
justment.
These activities are regarded here
as evidence that Germans In this
country, at least, recognize the seri-
GUS possibilities of the situation, and
are not willing that the two govern
ments should break with each other
If there is any way to prevent 1t.
Evidences of this attitude are found
IN the self-imposed official silence OF
the German ambassador, the deci-
sion of Dr. Dernburg to eliminate
himself from the situation, and most
important, the private spreading of
the view III SuCu
are regarded as likely to afford the
easiest channel of communication to
the American public. 1t is reported
that the German embassy has even
gone to the length Of advising the
German-American press IN this coun-
try to be moderate in it's discussion
of the submarine views. The Ger
man ambassador denies that any such
instructions have been issued by the
embassy, but nevertheless there is
every reason to expect that the at
titude Of the embassy in this regard
will soon enough find its reflection in
the German-American newspapers.
From the discussions that have
been going forward here, 1t now ap-
pears clear. the main idea of Germans
IN this country is that the Berlin gov
eminent should take care of the
Lusitania matter by proposing arbi-
tration, and then dispose of the gen.

gress latitude. Owing to the more rigorous climate, the timber is smaller in size and yield than, for instance, in the Forests of Southeastern Alaska. However, it runs from $500 to 5000 feet per acre, and in some places as hlgh as 30,O0o to 50,0OO feet. The total amount of timber now in the Forest is reported to be about eight billion feet on a conservative estimate. and it is believed hat this body of timber will be the principal and most accessible source of lumber for the development of the entire vast region of Northern Alaska. From these for ests, the interior country must draw it's supply of structural timber in the future. This timber Is even now used locally, 196 sales having been con summated since 1907, involving over 17,000,O00 it. B. M, in addition to the large amount which has been supplied free to local settlers, prospectors, fish. ermen and others. Exclusive of the panhandle, the area of Alaska Is about 300, 0,000,000 acres, less than two per cent of which is to be retained within the ('hugach National Eoreet to ann ply timber for this vast region.
 The Forest will be drawn upon i'm for railroad construction by cooperation between the Forest Ser vice and the Alaska Railroad Con- the timber being supplied free of charge to the Alaska Railroad as authorized by Congress.

BUREAU PAINTS ROSY PCTURE
 OF CHUGACH

The following information is fur nished by the Forest Service from it's Portland office.
 The area of the Chugach Forest is reduced by over five million acres, ac- cording to advice just received. Elim- mated area includes glaciers and other areas of little practical timber value, originally included in Forest on &C., count of the uncertainty of exact To- cation of valuable timeber lands. Present boundaries of the Chugach Forest which includes now eight mil lion acres, said to include large body of timber to be used in developing whole region Northern Alaska.
 Word has just been received in the Office of the District Forester that the President has approved the recom- mendation of the Forest Service changing the boundaries of the Gnu
  zach Notional Forrest in Alaska by proclamation of August 2. The new proclamation effects an elimination of 5,S01,574 acres of land and 661,094 acres of water. The Forest boundary lines were changed not only by mak- ing eiminations but by making three additions to the Chugach Forest One occurs on the Kenai Peninsula, north of the city of Seward, another in the Puget Bay region, and the third Oka- lee Spit and other areas in that vicini- ty. These additions were made in order to include good body of timber and to make workable administrative boundary lines.
 The lands eliminated consits mainly of glaciated mountains and muskeg areas of practically no forest value but which were originally included within the National Forest because of the uncertainty which existed as to the location and extent of the timber ed areas and in order to establish a boundary that could be more easily described and administered.
 The toal area of the Chugach Forest is now approximately 5,S17,959 acres of land and 3,058,073 acres of water, making a total of S,S76,q33 acres. The present proclamation, it is stated, put the boundary lines of the Gnu zach Forest about where they belong. This Forest Is one of the largest and most valuable bodies of timber of merchantable size to be found any where on the globe north of sixty de-
