VON HOLLWEG SILENT

BERLIN, April 4-The early return of von HoIl- weg the imperial chancellor coupled with the statements in the newspapers today interpreted as meaning that the German government favors peaceful settlement with the United States by meeting the demands in manner that will not entail loss of honor for Germany Von Hol- veg returned yesterday Sunday from the kasers head quarters at the front but he has held no conference with officials and has given ntmaton to the result of his talk with the emperor There is general feeling amongst the officials today that the situation IS hopeful and that solution is possible without break between the two nations Neither the foreign secretary, Jagow Admiral von Hotzendorf Under Secretary of For eign Affairs Zimmerman was at any conference with the imperial chancellor and this is regarded as hopeful sign as decision threatening the relations of the two coun- tries would most likely not be made without conferences with those officials On the whole the situation looks bet ter today No intmation has been given as to the time the reply is likely to be sent to Washington.

FIFTY PER CENT

FIRST BLOOD SPILLED IN CON, NECTION WITH ANCHOR
 AGE STRIKE.

ANCHORAGE, April 24. - Nearly all the laborers in the yards here have gone out with the rest of the strikers but the skilled men are not walking out to the extent expected. On the line about fifty per cent of the men have quit but efforts are being made to get the remainder to leave. The first blood was spilled in connection with the strike when a man named Carpenter who was on the way to go to work for the commission this morn ing hit George Baker, a member of the strike committee, over the wrist with the tooth side of a saw and sever ed two small tendons. The wound is not serious, however. Deputy Mar shal Anderson grabbed Baker as Car penter struck and pulled him out of reach, so saving him from receiving the blow on the head. Opinion differs as to who started the trouble. Eye witnesses say that Baker did not at tack Carpenter but others say he grabbed a hold of him. Both have been arrc5ted

BERLIN DEEPLY INTERESTED

U. s. TROOPS REMAIN

WASHINGTON, April 24-The question of the with drawal of the United States troops from Mexico IS far from being settled judging by the official statements given to the press this afternoon is, on the contrary announced that the American forces in Mexico will be dis trbuted for the purpose of recuperaon pending an Op portuny for Carranza to effect cooperation This IS all taken to mean that the expedition will remain in Mexico longer than army men believed The troops are still in the Parral neghborhood but have evidently made no a tempt to advance in the face of the warning issued by the Caranza officials It is an open secret that the U S. cabinet knows than it is willing to tell the cores pondents and although there is nothing tangible to go the feeling prevalent that everything is not very prom ising.
