Washington, May 15-A ca blegram from Ambassador Ger ard in Berlin sent at 7 o'clock last night and reaching the state department early today, stated that the Ambassador had not then received the Ameri- can note. The State depart ment officials expected fur ther. advices soon.
 Meanwhile, officials sought to trace the note and hasten it's delivery. Having knowledge from Ambassador Page aE Rome that the note was relayed from there yesterday afternoon on the Italian telegraph lines, officials felt assured that fe surely would reach Ambassa- dor Gerard today.
 Secretary Bryan hatE sen3 6vzo mes sages to Ambassador Gerard after tha. note left the telegraph offices here one notifying him that it had been sent, and another advising him thae 
 publication at 5 a. m-, Friday, and therefore to present it to the German | foreign office as early as possible. Ambassador Gerard aclznpS8aedse1 both.
 Intense interest continued today in official and diplomatic quarters to fhe probable nature of Germany's reply, but neither the embassy nor the state department had any inttmation as to the feeling in Berlin. Among weII-inz formed diplomats as well as officials the belief existed that Germany's reply would afford a means of settlement I through diplomacy. It was thought not improbable that Germany would suspend submarine warfare while the diplomatic discussion was in progress. l Another suggestion which was re- garded not unlikely to be made by Germany was that the be1ligerents give assurances that no contraband
 be carried on passenger ships
 | It was believed Germany might in sist on retaining the submarine as a I destroyer of commerce but would off fer to make no attacks on non-von-
 batants or crew, if merchantmen were
 unarmed and did not offer resistance
 when encountered.
 With the presentation of the note 1 the United States will have submit
 ted it's case and Germany is expected l to make the next move in the diplo-
 Tnatic negotiations
 It is confidently expected that Ger l many will give the matter immediate
 consideration and send her reply in
 about 10 days.
 In the meantime, in the absence Of
 President. Wilson, activity Nn official
 circles had ceased pending $ possible . intimation from Ambassador Gerard , | of the, trend of Germany's reply. However, discussion in diplomatic quarters over Germany's probable at . tftude continued today. Although Count Won Bernstorff, the German , ambassador, still was silentse some Of
 his friends said that he was pleased
 with the friendly character of the note and was confident that the con-
 troversy could be satisfactorily ad- | iuSted

Dundee Advertiser: Prince victor Jerome Frederic Napoleon, who has obtained permission Of the Italian military authorities to go to the front, is the head of the Napoleon family. Ordinarily he lives in Brus- sels, having been expelled from France many years ago. He is a Partisan, however, by birth, and his symparhtes with the allies are further cemented by the fact that his wife is Princess Clemen-iue, daugh- ter of King Leopold ot Belgium, and b's mother is a princess Of the house of Savoy.

COL. SLEICHER'S IDEAS
 CONCERNING ALASKA

The following interview with Col John A. sleicher, proprietor of Les lies Weekly and Judge Magazine, is taken from the Chicago Tribune:
 Alaska is land of magnificent distances and every section natural ly seeks development before any other. This is all right. Fair com petition does good, not harm, but there Is room for everybody in Al aska and the blightened effect of sectional iealOusies should not gain a foOthOld there.
 secondly, Alaska should not only send out photographs Of it's wonderful glaciers, the most re- narkable fu the world, and its suow-capped mountains, it's dog sleds and its icebergs. It should do what the Swiss mountaineers al ways do, accompany the pictures of icy peaks with photographs of green pastures and lofty timber and the enormous potatoes, turnips, and other root crops that flourish so amazingly in it's rich soil
 Thirdly, stop the tendency to undertaking and trust abusing. What good have they done? Is any poor man richer? Is the cost of living any lower? Has Alaska grown?
 Fourth. Alaska should have laws that will attract and not re pei the man with mOney-the man wno wants to go into business, whether he be a big man or a lit tie man. r the big man cannot find an investment profitable in AL aska, then surely the little man canuot.
 Alaska will learn by experience. It is learning. It is a territory of toilers, with no idlers or tramps. Providence has blest it with ines timable natural wealth. The har- vest is getting ready for the hus- baudmau. Let Alaska's doors be open to him and in another de cado all will be transformed,

successive defeats, the Russians must
either abandon the Galician fortress they
