LEGISLATORS ARE
 BEING FORWARDED
 BY WOMAN'S CLUBS

Members of the Legislature are now beginning to shiver with dread every time they see a messenger boy from the local cable office approach ing. They have individually and col lectively been bombarded with tele- grams from Woman's Clubs and w. c. T. U. Organizations from every section of Alaska for the past week. The w. c. T. U, are waging an earn est campaign to secure the closing of the saloons on July 1st and are also against allowing any stock of liquor in the Territory at the time the saloons close to be shipped out the personal direction of Mrs. C. T. Hatcher, who is in Juneau and is in daily attendance on, the House of Representatives
 This morning Senator J. R. Heck man received telegram from the Skagway organization asking that legislation be passed forbiddng any liquor advertisement in any newspa- per of the Territory. Mr. Heckman stated: Sure, l will support a bill +of that kind because no one will want to advertise whiskey here after the Territory goes dry anyway"
 Most of the members of the House seem disposed to allow the saloons to operate until January 1st, as pro- yided by Congress, in spite of the pressure which is being brought to bear by the w. C. T. U.

German Agents Doing the Best They Can To Sow Seeds or Discomfort
 by Wild Rumors.
RUMORS HAVE EFFECT
People Throughout the Country Are Gradually Becoming Accustomed
 to New Government.

LONDON. April II. - A despatch from Petrograd to the Chronicle, says German agents, of whom many have been captured, are doing their best to maintain the unrest by spreading wild rumors. Yesterday rumor was that the Germans were marching on Petrograd and today that the Russians had gained an inn possible victory. These rumors have a momentary effect, but ill the long run, they defeat their object by in 1ucing skepticism. News from the front is that the troops are greatly inspired by the change of regime, md that Petrograd influences have
 impaired army discipline only in rare instances. The thaw that has just set in is a reminder that spring mili- tary operations are at hand.
 s"Now that more news is coming in from the provinces it become evi- dent that the Petrograd Council of Workingmens and Soldiers Deputies has mainly local importance, and that throughout the country the authoity of the provisional government and prestige of the Duma are strong. Per sons from Moscow laugh at the anx- ety expressed here lest the Work ingmen's Council should assume func- tions of rival government"
 Minister of Finance Tereschtenko, after announcing that a tax would be imposed on war profits, intimated that an effort will be made by the provision government to secure a loan in the United States.

 BAIL IS INCREASED
 FOR MEN SUSPECTED
 OF BRICK ROBBER

Judge R. ". Jennings has issued an order of the Court increasing the bail of Michael Sheean and J. H. Hewitt from $3,500 to s15,000 each. These men are charged with having stolen the gold brick from the Chich- agoff Mine recently and when given hearing before Commissioner N. L. Burton were placed under the small CT amount of bail
 Yesterday J. J. Reagan and J. M. Smiser, acting for the Government, appeared and petitioned that the amount of the bail be raised as the smaller amount of bail was not sui ficient to prevent the men from jump, ing out, if they were really guilty of stealing the brick and had it hid z.

IF GERMANY WINS
By Booth Harrington

world will be a German Kaiser: If
America and the Allies win. the gov
ernmcnt will be all the rest of us.
Those Americans who wish to govern
themselves are for" the war. Those
who wish 10 be governed by Kaiser
are against II. The lukewarm and the
Indifferent are asleep; they do not
know what threatens them in this
sleep of theirs. They may wake to
nightmares OF reality worse than
those Of sleep.
The struggle cannot end, and can
but temporarily abate. until either a
Kaiser rules the world or the people
of the world rule themselves. There is
no middle ground: a defeated Ger
many would eventually get rid OF its
Kaiser: victorious Germany would
keep its Kaiser-and keep him over
US. Every American who likes to
walk Potsdam has chance of enjoy
ing himself in that manner some day
so long as there is a chance of Ger
many's winning the war.
