CONGRESS CONSIDERS WAY
 TO AID THE UNEMPLOYED

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 WASHINGTON, April 13. - A mammoth insurance fund, to draw from which the only requirements are that one is i'll, too old to work or honestly can't get a job, is under con sideratiou by the House labor com mittee today.
 Representative Meyer London, New York Socialist, is sponsor for the fund. He wants it to guarantee work ingmen against unemployment.
 Mir. London's proposal, the first of it's kind that has been considered by a Congressional committee, instructs the President to appoint a commission of two organized labor representa- tives, with the Secretary of Labor as chairman.
 The commission is to draft a gener- al social insurance act along the lines indicated and report within year to the President a plan to reduce un- employment by furnishing work or public improvements and developing natural resources on public lands. This, Londons resolution says, would reduce the calls on the fund.
 Dr. I. NJ. RubinOw, of New York, author of a book on Social Insurance, was an early witness before the com mittee at its opening session today.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT BY
 A DYNAMITE EXPLOSION

FAIRBANKS.-Wounded in a hun dred places by a dynamite explosion, two compound fractures of his right leg below the knee, his right hand blown off, his right eye maybe ire parably lost, and suffering from loss of blood, Axel Sundberg, was still breathing at an early hour this morn ing, and Dr. McCallum stated that the man had fighting chance for life. Of course, if he survives he will be a cripple.
 The accident which is the cause of the wounds of the injured man occur ed about 1:8O o'clock yesterday after noon. At the time it occurred Sund- berg was alone in the tunnel of the workings of the Niggerhead associa- tion. With Jim Pearson, a partner, he had been working in the tunnel. Mir. Pearson came to the surface for some reason, and when he got back, not fifteen minutes later, he found his partner unconscious, a mass of blood, his right hand almost blown off, and his head covered with blood. MT. Pearson thought the man was dead. He put the injured man in the bucket and took him to the surface. There he was placed on a stretcher, every thing that could be done for him was done, and he was rushed to- olnes, where he was put aboard the train for Fairbanks.-Times.

WASHINGTON IN DOUBT

WASHINGTON, April 2. - There is little hope in Washington that Germany will meet fully the American demands in relation to a submarine warfare. That much is fully apparent today The United Press interview with Admiral van Hozendor has furnished the State depart ment with the first definite line the attitude of Ger many and has created pessmistic feeling The officials have concluded that modification of Wilson's demands is the only choice breaks to be avoided Modification
 they say however is out of the question although 1t IS de- cared that Germany would agree to search vessels and make the safety of the passengers secure before torpedo ing America might accept her assurances if she also kept her pledges to the United States government The ques ton resolves itself into whether Germany will consent to abandon her methods of submaraing This must be the
 first step the officials say towards healing the strained relations existing between the two nations The authOr
 ties feel here that the interview given by HOltzendo
 to the United Press indicates Gernanys unwingness tc meet the demands of the United States and to shift the responsibility of possible break to the United States

IITTF HOPE FOR SETTLEMENT
 ON THF SUBMARINE QUESTION
BERLIN STILL SILENT

BERLIN April 22-Nothing has yet developed as a result of the receipt of the American note the sub marine question and expression of opinion is available from the Foreign Office where absolute retcence is being maintained Neither the note nor any reference to it has been published contrary expectations, but it has been intmated that when the note published the situation will be found to be extremely grave It will probably be answered next week but only after the most serious con- sderaton but there very little hope that the answer can
 go the length demanded by the Washington government Despite the fact that the imperial government desires to maintain friendly relations with the United States the sentiment here is against any further weakening of Ger manys submarine campaign to say nothing of abandon ment which is evidently not considered for moment

 LONDON, April IS. - First hand evidence" that the German dope" their soldiers with ether preliminary to their furious massed charges is claimed by the London Chronicle. The assertion has been made before, but not so positively and circumstan- tially.
 eve do not know" says the Chroni- cle, "how the ether is administered, through the mouth or by injection, but we find the bodies of their dead redolent of the drug. The German of- ficers, too, in these forlorn and des- perate adventures, take stimulants and drive on their men to the slaught- CT with wild cries. These are facts known to and authenticated by our own military authorities"
