PEACEFUL END
 0F CONTROVERSY GERMANY DESIRES NO DISCORD Lansing Receives Assurances that the Imperial Government Will Make Concessions to Prevent Diplomatic Break in Relations with U. s.
GERMANY DESIRES NO DIsCORD

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 5.- Secretary of State Lansing has re- ceived information from German off, cial sources that Chancellor Beth mann Holweg is very anxious to re- tain the friendly relations between the United States and uermany. The Chancellor is said to have expressed the opinion that the Imperial Govern ment would make considerable con- sessions to the United States rather than to permit a rupture in the diplo- matic relations between the two countries.
 It is confidently believed here that this expression of the Chancellor re- moves all danger of a diplomatic break, and that the difference over the German submarine controversy will be speedily brought to a peaceful settlement.

Stowaway Who Single-Tanded Seized Munition Steamer and Held Full Sway for Some Hours Will Be Tried By U. s. for Piracy.

NEW YORK, April 5.-Ernest Schiller, the stowaway who seized the British steamer Matappo last week, he-- up the captain, destroyed the wireless apparatus, and rifled the safes, and was finally landed at the Delaware breakwater, has been ar- raigned here.
 Although the alleged crime was committed on the high seas, on ves- sel under the English flag by a Ger man citizen, the United States will assume jurisdiction in the case and will arraign him on the charge of pi- racy, the first trial on this charge that has been brought here for many years.
 It is stated that Ambassador Bern storff has protested to the Govern ment that it had no jurisdiction to try a German citizen for acts commit ted against an enemy nation on the high seas, but it is not known what attention will be paid to the protest by government officials.

REFUSE DEMAND OF. LANSING

WASHINGTON, D. C., April A. Secretary Lansing today received a reply from the entente Allies to the United States note of protest against the searching of mails on neutral vessels and the seizure of passengers of enemy countries sailing on neu- tral ships.
 The reply states definitely that the Allies consider they have the right to search neutral vessels for enemies, and also to search the mails on such vessels for articles. declared contra band and which are addressed to per sons in the enemy countries.
 From tf1e- tenor of the note it is certain that the Allies do not intend to give heed to the protests of the United States government and will continue to search all neutral vessels with which they come in contact.
 The note also refuses to give up the persons belonging to enemy countries seized on the steamer China.

JUSTICE SAYS HE WILL ACCEPT

WASHINGTON, D. C., April B. A story printed in the Star of this city today states that Justice Hughes of the Supreme Court, will accept the Republican nomination for the presi- dency at the Chicago convention.
 The statement has created sensa- tion here, as it was generally believ- ed that Hughes would not give up his positIon for the uncertainties of a presidential campaign.
 However, it is believed that the story printed in the Star has the sanc- tion of Hughes, and that the state ment that he will accept the nomina- tion at the hands of the Republicans, provided there is no contest in the convention, was made upon his au- thorizatiOn.

The news from Washington that the $650,0OO will undoubtedly be appropriated for the construction of roads and trails in Alaska, means much to the people of this section of Alaska.
 That this appropriation will be re- ceived is due almost entirely to the efforts of Col. Richardson, who has labored without ceasing to secure the fruition of his plan to make an auto mobile road from the coast to the interior. For number of years he has laid out his meagre appropria- tions over a wide area of country, and in spite of this he has succeeded in carving out roadway between Valdez and the Panama metropolis that is credit to the Road Commis- sion. While this road is much trav- eled, and has aided materially in the development of the interior country as we'll as having provided an all- winter mail route to the interior.
 Lack of funds in previous years, has prevented more than a small amount of construction work, the re- mainder being required to make re- pairs, yet there has been constructed a road from Valdez, distance of 370 miles, to Fairbanks, and from Will low to Chitina to connect with the Copper River & Northwestern rail-

road out of Cordova Over this in the summer months for the past two years auto stages, carrying freight and passengers between Valdez and Chitina and Fairbanks, have been op- erated at good speed and low cost faced road. and it has been the aim of Colonel Richardson to surface the road so that the traffic may be main tained at higher speed and without necessitating the constant repairs. The statement of Col. Richardson that $35O,O0O will be expended on this road means that the coming sum- mer will witness great activity along the road, with the employment of large crews of men, all of which will add materially to the business pros perity of the town.
 At the office of the Road Commits sion it is stated that preparations are already under way for the seasons work. Supplies will be sent out to various points along the road in the near future for use of the various crews, and if the appropriation is made at an early date, by next fall itHs hoped to have boulevard stretching between Valdez and Fair banks of which the Road Commission and the people of the Territory may well be proud.

SCOUTING FOR MOTHS
L. w. Davis and Men at Present
 Working in Woodstock.

A force of men under I. W. Davis continue the work of hunting gypsy moths in towns in this section of Windham county. They are sent out from the Connecticut Agricultural Ex- pertinent station at New Haven and have been at work in this part of the country throughout the winter. They have found and destroyed thousands of egg masses and are now preparing for the caterpillar season, which be- gins next week.
 No egg masses have been found in the town of Killingly, where the moth has been present in the past. Brook lyn yielded a small number, Wood stock, Putnam, Pomfret and Thomp- son were found to be quite badly in- fested The work at this time is be- ing carried on chiefly in Woodstock.
 MT. Davis says that 72 towns in Connecticut have been or are infest- ed with moths and that the govern ment's quarantine line includes prac- tically all of the eastern end of the state.
 Study oE means by which the moths are distributed develops the interest l ing fact, MT Davis says, that what is known as wind spread is responsible for the increasing are in which they are found. This means that storms drive them into new areas. The means adopted by the crew working under MT. Davis direction to textermi- nate the moths is intensely interesting The work being done in this sectior ] is costing a great deal of money
