4NTI-ALASKA BILL IS FILED
 IN CONGRESS

WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.-chairman Alexander of the House committee on fisheries introduced today the Depart ment of Commerce's fisheries bill, .n- tended to center the control of the Alaska fisheries in the Federal fisher ies bureau. and had 1t referred to his own committee.
 This is the redraft of the admin istratlon's fisheries bill which died at the last session. and Is known as the Carlln bill. The bill was reintroduced earlier in this session and referred the ways and means committee until Delegate Wickersham of Alas lSa entered protest. Then it was re- ferred to the committee on the Ter rltorles, a move which gives another committee the new measure.
 The measure introduced by Con- gressman Alexander takes from the Alaska territorial legislature any au- thorlty that 1t may have over the fisheries and fur-bearing animals. particularly desiring to restrain the legislature from taxing the fishing in- terests Tn every way.

ONLY ONE COUNTRY
 FIR. SAYS

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2i. - Col. Theodore Roosevelt spoke hero last night Some Of the salient points in the address were as follows;
 'Fear God and take your own part before the cational conference of Americanizatlon.
 "The man who loves other nations as much as he does hls own country stands on par with the man who loves other women as he does his own wife.
 "The professors of every form of hyphenated Americanism are as thor oughly foes of this country as if they dwelt within lts borders and made active war against 1t.
 For adeQuate defenses we need a big and efficient navy and 9 small, but efficient army.
 "I believe universal service would be beneficial. There should be mill tary training as part of the high school education and when a boy Is between IS and 21 for him there should be four or six months Of ac- tual service in tho field with the colors."

INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC
 GROWING

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2O.-Influenza is spreading over the United States from coast to coast in the most ser :ous epidemic ever known. taking O large toll of lives and causing econo- loss by mcapacitating workers in all walks of life. Reports from Public Health Service officers made public here tonight by Surgeon General Blue show that already the disease has created a grave problem for many of the larger cities and is spreading to the rural communities.
 New York. Chicago. Philadelphia. Boston, San Francisco. Seattle, Cleve- land and Detroit reported tho disease widely prevalent. Cleveland and De troit each have probably 100000 cases. Of the larger cities Buffalo, Pittsburg Baltimore San Diego. Dallas and Mo- bile reported no signs of an ep.dem- ic as yet.
 There Is practically nothing the fed eral government can do toward aid ing in suppression of the epidemic. It must be dealt with by local author tiles. and they. in turn, it .s explain cd, are almost helpless from the rav- ages of this disease with help from the public. sergeon General Blue de- clared tonight that he had called for reports from an parts of the country with the hope that publicity would tend to stimulate this cooperation of the public.
 Statistics on influenza are difficult to obtain. because the disease is not classified as "rcportable" in a great many cities. Consequently most of the public health officers were ob- liged to send in information based 10 some extent on tLeir personal ob- servation.

POPE WILLING TO BE
 PEACE MEDIATOR

ROME, Jan. 2O.-The Tribuna has printed an interview with "an exalt. ed parsonage" in which Pope Benedict is quoted as saying: "If the Entente Powers were willing, peace negotia. tons could begin tomorrow" The Pope said he was determined to con tinue his efforts for peace, despite their futilIty up to date.
 The pointiff was credited with tho statement that the Central powers had subscribed their willingness to accept mediation by the Vatican, but the papal overtures were flatly reject ed by England, France and Russia.
 The Tribuna informant said Cardi- nal von Hartmann came to Rome from Germany as a peace emissary at the consistory and went so far as to offer Pope Benedict the presidency of the peace Congress. Cardinal von Hart mann also brought word that he sc- cured the assurances from the Turk lsh Porte that the persecution of tho Christian Armenians would cease.
