Paul Randolph, my orderly, 1 left
Washington on March 8 and heard at
Chicago that the hostile Indians had
run away westward, says Brigadier
General Hugh L. Scott, chief of the
general staff, U. s. A., writing from
Thompsons, Utah.
We were prepared to follow them
wherever they might go and expected
they would go across the Grand can
yon, Colorado. We left the railroad at
Thompsons, Utah, on March 8, and aft
er drives of thirty Weight, sixty-fve and
forty-eight miles, part Of the time on
sledges in snow three feet deep, we ar
rived at Bluff, Utah, the scene Of the
recent fight with the United States
marshaPs posse. @&
Bluff is the end Of all communication.
Taking Messrs. Creel and Jenkins of
the Indian department and some Nava-
jos who had been arrested at Beautiful
mountain year and a half ago and
were strong indorsers of my integrity,
we started west, down the San Juan
river to Mexican Hat.
John Wetherell, after a ride of 100
miles, brought in Ute Indian who
came to his store at Kayenta, fifty

the Ute's Piutes with them to Navajo
mountain, 120 miles west of Bluff, who,
with the Piutes already there, number

Treated With Great Kindness.
All the Navajos had left in different
directions. The Ute was carefully i'm
pressed with the Importance Of urging
the hostiles to talk and was convinced
that no trap would be set for them.
He brought some in after four days,
although lie had to ride ninety miles to
reach them. The others came after
and had all arrived by the afternoon of
the next day.
They were treated with the utmost
kindness, as wild horse which a false
or sudden move would stampede out Of
sight would be treated. Assured Of
their safety and well fed, their condi-
tioa and acts were carefully explained
in conferences and interviews covering
two days No ultimatum was given,
the door being left for further discus

Our success was considered a miracle
at Bluff and places on the way north.

BERNST0RFF SAYS
 GERMANY RIGHT
Presents Note To Bryan UphoIdin9 His Governments Right To
 Sink Ships In War Zone.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The Ger man ambassador, Count Bernstorff, today presented to Secretary of State w. J. Bryan a formal note in which the German government announces that the commanders of all subma- rines have been instructed not to harm neutral vessels and that in the event of an unavoidable mistake the German nation will make prompt res titution for any damage or loss.
 The note, however, formally denies the responsibility of the German na- 1ion for any losses to neutral or belligerent vessels operating in the prohibited zone which surrounds the British Isles and from which, by proclamation of the kaiser, all ves- sells must remain away, otherwise the German government will not assume any responsibility for losses in this prohibited zone.

This is the provision which the Ger mans refuse to concede, claiming that no vessel has the right to sail where the Germans have established the war zone.

The president will insist that Ger many adhere to the rules of inter- national warfare.
 What action will be taken. by the United States in the event of a re- fusal of the German nation to admit it's fault cannot be ascertained by reporters at this time, but it is fully realized here that President Wilson will stick to his demands that Amer ican lives cannot be sacrificed either on American ships or merchant yes sels and Germany get off without trouble from the American nation.
 Tension In United States Is Great.
 The tension in this city is still very great and it is realized that ev- cry possibility exists that war may result because of the popular demand in the United States that American rights, as outlined by the president, shall be respected by the Germans, who appear as equally determined to uphold the right to sink any vessel found in the war zone.

the passes at Lupkow and Uszok have been forced to withstand one of the most desperate assaults yet made by the enemy. The fighting started yesterday and continued all through the night. The Russians have suffered heavy losses but continue the assaults. The natural strength of the foras and the disadvantage of the Russians are such that military ex- perts predict the utter failure of the campaign to push into Hungary.
 Austrian Press Justify Lusitania
 Sinking.
 The press of this city justifies the sinking of the merchant vessel Lusi. tania, which, it is claimed here was armed and thus became a converted cruiser. It is also charged that the boat carried munitions of war and that Americans had been warned not to sail on the ship.

they advanced to the road and to carry on the receivership which gave the Alaska Northern the railroad. The associated banks have agreed with the government to give title on July 18th, when they are to receive $500,00O as first payment, but they cannot make the deal with the out. standing preferred claims, nor can they convince the bondholders that the small part of the total, or the $150,000 which the bondholders are to get, is enough for the $1,000.0o0 advanced by them many years ago and on which they have never re- ceived any returns. The Toronto Banking Syndicate have put up a bond of $5OO,00O to guarantee title to the government"

 ALASKA NORTHERN
Secretary Lane Reported To Have Demanded Clear Title To Road
 By June or No Sale

SEATTLE, May 12.-The govern. ment, through Secretary of the In. terior Franklin K. Lane, yesterday notified the owners of the Alaska Northern railroad, which is construct ed from Seward, Alaska, that unless they come to some agreement re- garding the ownership of the railroad and are ready to show by June list that the title is clear, the govern ment will cancel it's contract for the purchase of the railroad for $1,15O- 900.
 The news reached here yesterday as the men interested in the own ership of the road are now in this city Roland, the attorney who en. gineered the deal, is in this city, but refuses to make any public state ment. The bondholders are also si- lent, but indicate that they are we'll satisfied with the announcement from Washington claiming that under the present arrangement they were as good as outsiders and would not se- cure any of the money, hence their suits to establish the rights they claimed in the railroad.
 Alaskans here believe that the government will not spend one cent on the railroad until the title is cleared up and that all work will be from Ship Creek Cor Anchorage) to the Matanuska coal fields.

ITALIANS STILL
 DEMANDING WAR Mobs Parade Streets of Rome-News. papers Are Strongly for ItaI-
 ian Intervention.

ROME, May 12.-The people are parading the streets demanding war. The failure of the negotiations be- tween Italy and Austria are admitted and the people insist that King Viz tor Emanuel start the conflict at once in order that Italy may reap some of the benefits of successful war.
 An energetic campaign is being conducted in the Italian press on be- t.;lf of the Allies. Every day there appear telegrs.ms. from Petrograd warming Italy that if she does no. soon intervene she will lose every thing. It is said the Allies have de- cided to give nothing. in case they are victorious, to a neutral power which, in the words of Jules Cambon, the French diplomat, "rushes to sue cor the victor"
 The newspapers also publish long reproductions from the French press stating that Italy,s participation in the war is imminent. Dispatches from London say the Italian ambas- sador there, Marquis Imperiali. is about to sign with Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign minister, an agreement containing clauses which provide that Italy shall side with the Allies.
 Although dispatches from Berlin and Vienna on this subject are more guarded, on account of the censor ship of the press of those cities, ef- forts are being made to offset this campaign Representatives here of the Berlin and Vienna newspapers are most active, and seek to convey the impression that every necessary meas ure/will be taken to prevent Italy from abandoning her neutrality It is affirmed in the end that Austria will be convinced of the necessity of making suitable territorial conces- sions, even if Germany is compelled to compensate her by ceding terri tory in Bavaria or Silesia.

ALASKA ROAD BUILDER |S BACK Secured Appropriation of $165, 1000 for Seasons Work-Tried To Get
 $2o0,o0o.

Colonel w. P. Richardson, chairman of the Alaska road commission, re- turned to Valdez last night on the Admiral Evans. When seen by a representative of the Prospector the road builder stated that congress had passed an appropriation of $165,0OO for the road work for the next sea son and that the seasons work will be planned by the members of the commission in a few days.
 In discussing the appropriation by congress, Col. Richardson said:
 We had hoped to secure the $20O,O0O so badly needed for road work in Alaska, and 1t looked for time, towards the end of the ses- sion, that we would be allowed the larger amount, in spite of the fact that the government was seeking to hold down all appropriations. The sum was finally cut to $165, 5,000, which was an advance of $40,O00 over the original bill, which carried an ap- propriation of $125,000 for repair and maintenance of the military roads.
 q have tried hard to impress upon the members of congress the great need of more roads and trails in Alaska, which would result in a greater measure of development to the north and which would aid, not a small section of the territory, but would help the miners and prospect ors in every division of Alaska. The commission would like greatly to un- dertake the building of the many roads and trails so urgently needed and which investigation has proved should be built. but without more liberal appropriation we are power less.
 Congress is willing to help the people of the north in spite of the heavy demands made by other sec tions of the United States upon the national treasury"

WASHINGTON, May 12-President Wilson is preparing strong note to the German foreign office demand ing an explanation for the sinking of the British merchant steamer Fala- ba, which was unarmed and carried no munitions of war and the passen- gers of which, including several Amer jeans, were drowned; also an expla- nation for the attempt to destroy the American steamer Cushing, which was fired on repeatedly by German aeroplanes, although the ship was fly. ing the American flag and its sides were covered with an immense Amer. ican banner and had painted in big letters the name of the vessel and the fact that it was of American reg ister; demand for an explanation of the reason for the sinking of the American tank steamer Gulflight with the loss of five American lives. in- cluding the commander of the ship, who was not given time enough to leave his vessel and seek safety in a small lboat-a condition similar to the sinking of the merchantmen Fala- ba, The presidents note will al so demand in no uncertain terms for the reasons, if any, that the German government has for the sinking of the Lusitania, which, as a merchant ship and under international law, could not be sunk except by cap- ture and at least not until the pas. sengers had been given time to leave the ship.

With preferred claims of $1,00O,O 900 against the Alaska Northern railroad, and the bondholders who have in vested $1,OOO,OO0 in cold cash in the financing of the road forced to be satisfied with the $15O,O0O which the government will pay over and above the $1,OO0,0OO necessary to pay the preferred claims if the present deal is carried through, the chances are good that the Seward railroad will never become the property of the United States government"
 The above statement, made by Col. Swanitz last night to the editor of the Valdez Prospector, indicates that the owners of the railroad are not all of one accord and that the deal for the westward railroad may not be concluded.
 When shown the telegram received by the Prospector late last night. in which it is reported that the govern ment had issued an ultimatum to the owners of the railroad to settle the question of ownership by June 1st or the road would not be purchased, the colonel said that it did not surprise him and he outlined the conditions of the sale of the road to the gov ornment as follows.
 "The preferred claims total $1,000,- 900 and the associated banks, headed by the Toronto bank, own but 0.O0O worth of the claims. with $240,00O now held by o. G.

 To polar regions cold. Wherever on this planet The feet of omen have trod, Your brothers must be followed
 With Christ's good news from God. Go forward Christ's explorer,
 Seek honest men and strong Who love the ways of honor
 And hate the deeds of wrong; Make them theeva1iant leaders,
 Support them in their search For every hidden weakness
 Tn Nation and in Church. Go forward, Cnrist's explorer,
 Gods love for every age Is writ in golden letters
 Upon the sacred page. The reverent, fearless scholar
 Who comes with open mind Through Gods own Spirits guidance
 The truth divine shall find. Go forward. Christ explorer,
 Scan well the life within, Trace back each sinful motive,
 Cast out each secret sin Then throw life's gates wide open
 To Christ. the Light of light His truth is perfect freedom,
 His grace is holy might.
