question why Britain is forced to
turn billions over to her partners in
the war:
Russia is economically backward,
mdeyeloped, cut off from her west

from Japan, America and from Eng
land. Italy is economically poor, not
rich in natural resources, and not yet

GUGGENHEIMS TO
 EXTEND ROAD

NEW YORK. April 1S.-An extended article in the New York Times says:
 It was stated on good authority yesterday that the Morgan and Gug- genheim interests would probably ex- tend their line to certain agricultural districts of Alaska within a few years thereby bringing it into competition with the governments railroad to a certain extent"
 The same article contains an inter view with George W. Perkins, who is interested in the Alaska Syndicate who congratulates the President upon the splendid choice" he made in se- lecting the Seward route, and purchas- ing the Alaska Northern railroad.
 Speaking of the Copper River and Northwestern railroad in which he is interested he said:
 That is located too far away from the proposed government line to be a competitor of It. but believe 1t is a better line than the governments from an industrial standpoint
 CT am not sorry that it was rejected by the government, and we will deyel' op it. of course for future business.

eermanYIa ExpIanatIon.

LONDON, April 1S.-The text of a note presented by the German gov- ernment to American Ambassador James w. Gerard today in relation to the treatment of submarine prisoners by Great Britain is contained in a dispatch received from Berlin today. It says:
 "The German government has learn ed with astonishment and indignation that the British government regards officers and crews of German sub- marines as not honorable enemies. and accordingly treats them not as other prisoners of war. but as ordin- ary criminals.
 These officers and crews acted as brave men in the discharge of their military duties. and therefore, they are fully entitled Co be treated like other prisoners of war in accordance with international agreements. The German government, therefore, en- ters the strongest protest against the measure which is contrary to interna- tional law. and sees itself at the same time respectfully compelled to execute the reprisals announced by it,.
 "Therefore, subject to similar harsh treatment, a corresponding number of English army officers. who are prison CTS of war. have been placed In soli tary confinement"

 The assertion is made that both Germans and Austrians, particularly the former have within their borders supplies in everything necessary to prolong the war indefinitely
 Germans who are well informed and now in Rome declare that the determ ination of the two Empires to carry the conflict Go the end will become ap- parent soon when the campaign :s resumed with fresh vigor on both fronts. according to plans mapped out by the general staff during the winter.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS
 IN GERMANY SATISFACTORY

LONDON. April l3. Berlin adyices say the business situation in Germany is fairly satisfactory. although all in- dustrles are running on a restricted scale. chiefly because of the virtual cessation Of overseas exports. but as a large proportion of skilled worl1men went into the army the sharp curtail- ment in production was not attended by a corresponding increase In un- employment Pronounced scarcity Of workmen prevails in the industrial district about Essen. The demand for coal is greater than the mines can meet. The production Of pig iron is about 55 per cent. of last year. Lo- comotivc car shops are busy. while shipyards are evidently working on big government orders.
