GERMAN PAPER
 HANDS A ROAST
 TO UNCLE SAM
NonaItruiStic Cling of the Americans to Belgium Has a Different
 Meaning.

WASHINGTON. April IA dis patch to the State Department from Minister Stovall at Berne, Switzer- land, quotes the Deutsche Zeitung, an influential German newspaper, as saying:
 "The tenacity with which the non- altruistic Americans cling to Belgium shows that they really are not in terested in the welfare Of the alleged sufferings of the Belgians.
 "We desire to recall that when ever Americans negotiated with Ger many regarding war measures they always looked after the interests of the Allies in a most inconsiderable manner.
 "How much damage Ambassador Gerard inflicted on us will be brought to light later. The destruction of the Rumanian oil wells was due chiefly to American activities. We are now learning how little American representatives of our interests did for our war prisoners

PROTECTIVE LAW
 FOR ALASKA ROADS
 IS BEING PUSHED

Members of the Alaska Legis- lature are urging the passage Of ! law at the present session for the protection of Alaska roads. The legislation is needed particularly to regulate the class of traffic on roads after they are constructed. At the present time there is no methodf hereby any one can pre- vent t4 destruction of roads after they are built.
 The board of road commission CTS has, been harassed by the dispo- siton of people to use the roads for heavy traffic at times when heavy loads and narrow tires would cut them to pieces.
 The legislation that is suggested would place the authority in the hands of some Territorial officer to prevent such use of roads as would destroy or unduly injure them, and to protect them against such other dangers as might suggest them selves.

Senators Discuss the Bill Trying To Adopt Safe guard Against Funds
 Being MiSSpent.
MATTER IS DEFERRED
Approval of War Existence Is To Be Wired to the
 President of the
 United States.

One new bill was introduced in the Senate this morning, and that by Senator Heckman, to prohibit the advertising of intoxicating liquors in the Territory, and it was referred to the Judiciary committee.
 Discussion of the bill providing for the payment of allowances for certain aged pioneers occupied the chief attention of the Senators this morning. This bill, as Senator Al drich explained before. is an amend ment to the Pioneers Home Bill. passed at the last session, and pro yides that an applicant for an allow anee must undergo a medical exam ination by a physician appointed by the Governor. The purpose of the examination is designed as a safe guard to the pension funds against undesirable applicants.
 Senator Gaustad opposed the bill on the grounds that requirement for medical examination would not rene dy any possible misappropriation of the funds but would merely shift the responsibility from the Board of Commissioners to the physician. The Senator from the Fourth also con tended that such medical requirement would work a hardship on aged and deserving pioneers located miles away from a physician of any kind.
 Suggests Amendment
 nI ment to the bill whereby residents of the Territory who were perma nently crippled or physically incapaci tated for work in any other way and for such reason made dependent upon the Territory, should be in cluded in the list of deserving can didates for pensions. With such al amendment he agreed that medical i examination would be essential. Sen ator Sutherland opposed this amend ment on the ground that it might make the bill unconstitutional. Up on motion of Senator Aldrich, sec onded by Senator Heckman section ?, lines three and four were amended to read, leach allowance of sucf amount not to exceed $20," thereby striking out the minimum pension sum which should be paid Upor motion of Senator Roman, further con sideration of the bill was deferred until tomorrow.
 Bounty On Eagles
 Senate Bill providing for the pres ervation of the food supply of tht Territory by placing bounty of fifty cents on eagles and providing fol collection of same was returned iron the Finance committee with rec amendment to line 19. Section ? Wal suggested to provide against tho wanton destruction by poison agains any animal or birds in the Territory Further action was deferred upoI motion of Senator Aldrich until tho opinion of the Attorney General coult be consulted.
 The Senate convened at 10 o'clocl this morning with all members pres ent. Chaplain services and approva of the Journal were followed by tht following messages from the House Senate Joint Resolution approving the resolution4of the President that a' a state of war exists, was returned by the House and upon motion O Senator Sutherland sent to the Sec retary of the Territory with re quest that the resolution be trans mitted to the President of the Unit ed States by wire.
