WASHINGTON. March l5-
"Frienenssehnsucht" - longing for
bsaee--is the great, deepseated
emotion Of the German people to-
day
With grim stoliduess they are en-
during hunger and privations OF all
kinds, confident that with their last
and most ruthless war weapon-the
U-boat--an end TO the devastating
European struggle may soon be ac-
complished.
These are IN substance tho out
standing features OF Ambassador
Gerard's arft report TO Secretary
Lansing and other government cfi-
cials on German conditions.
There Is another feature that
Gerard conveyed uf equal import
knce.

lees there Is a crop failure. 20 strux-
Ele thru for another year by apphea-
ton of the most drastic self-deniAl
III peace does not come before an.
ether IL months.
There Il no question according 10
Gerard but that the German people
are united and determined as never
before In the war to support their
government In a policy OF unrestrict-
ed sub-sea warfare
No relaxation car be hoped for
unless the ineffcaey OF the U-boat
Is proved beyond question.
When this time arrives, peace
Is Immediately before the world.
Gerard has given n summary OF
hts story 20 Secretary Lansing. He
may repeat IL 70 President Wilson
today before leaving for New York
should the president. because of his
Illness. be unable to see him how.

and face an irate constituency who
will tell them that they are in Wash
ington to devise ways and means to
fight the enemy and not to fight our
own people and to preserve that
whiskey revenue increment proposed
to be filched from our government
for the many needed purposes our
government must have to effectively
conduct the war and prove to the
world that our potential Intervention
insured the early peace that Is now
en-route. AS cleverly and effectively
as our worthy President adjudicated
the Eight-hour Railroad muddle, so
in turn will he adjust this liquor
question with dignity and harmony
to the satisfaction of all interested
parties.

MEMBERS OF UNIT
 ENGAGE IN DRILL

The local military unit engaged in their regular drill Saturday night and a large and attentive crowd was on hand to take advantage of the in- structions. Instructor Luttrell was assisted in the drilling by Capt Ward and Lieut.. Hawley.
 At the conclusion of the drill Capt Ward was invited to address few remarks to the gathering and replied with a pretty compliment for the or, ganization and the interest it is show. ing in the military work and empha, sized the importance of continued in. terest and application during the period of the present war crisis.
 The next meeting of the military unit will be on Wednesday evening at 7:SO o'clock in A. B. hall.

DANGER OF ATTACK
 ON ALASKA STEAMERS;
 WARNING IS SENT OUT

Warning was issued to Capt. O'Bren of the Alaska liner aposa before she sailed today that he should keep close watch to prevent the seizure of his ship by alien enemies who might at any time board the vessel in the guse of passengers and Overpower the crew.
 "t would be advisable for the officers of American merchantmen in Alaskan waters to be armed that small supply of small arms be kept aboard each vessel within immediate reach of the trusted Offcers said Mar Shal Evans.
 Evans did not state whether not he had any specific information which led to his warning Capt OBren but said that without precautions being taken it would be easy for six or more determined to seize any of the Alaskan boats and them to remote section or wreck them.
 to Alaskan shipping within the space of few hOurs said Evans q doubt any of the officers make practice of carrying arms with possibly few exceptions, The S. S.. Buckman, the Admiral Evans, very nearly fall ing into the hands of pirate while the San Francisco run some years back and that incident caused precautions to be taken by men who were aboard her"

BRIGHTER LOOKS
 LIKE DESTROYER

Officers and men of the Mariposa enjoyed all the thrills of sighting what they first took to be a warship while coming out of Cook inlet last night.
 The low lying craft had the appear ance of a torpedo boat destroyer in thedistance, but as the Mariposa cut dow the distance between herself and the strange craft it was appar- ent that she was catching up with the whaleback steamer Turret Crown, which sailed from Anchorage Sunday morning for Seward and is due to- night.

STEEL TOO HIGH
 TANANA BRIDGE
 TO BE OF WOOD

SEATTLE, Monday, May 7.-Chair- man William c. Edes stated today that the commission had practically decid- ed to build a temporary wooden struc- ture across the Panama river at Ne mana instead of a steel bridge on ac- count of the high cost of steel and the difficulty of delivery.
 We hope to lay more track tan last year, however, but the enormous advance in the price of rails dnd slow delivery may prevent us from making as much progress as estimated,
 We expect to have Fairbanks con nected with the Nenana fields in 1918"
 The chairman stated that he was not sure but that the conscriptlon measure might be declared to include Alaska and the employees of the road.
 Edes will sail north Friday,
