U-B0ATS DON'T
 DARE TO COME
{ Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Apr. 26.- While not undertaking the menace, as he stated, Admiral DeChaire, of the French navy, who is one of the French commissioners now here to attend the war conference told a number of newspaper correspondents today that German U-boats would hardly dare to come to the Ameri- can side of the Atlantic for the pur pose of starting activities on scale such as prevails on the European side. He also stated his belief that if German submarines did enter Am erican waters their activities could be successfully met by the American navy.
 The admiral bases his belief on the fact that the submarines have no known base on the American side of the Atlantic A submarine base, he stated, is absolutely essen tion to successful operations on the part of flotilla of the undersea boats, and that without it such ac tivities on what would have to be a small scale could not be very profit able to Germany.

 JUNEAU, Apr. 25--As re suit of air bubbles rising near the Treadwell foundry, fears are entertained that the disaster of last Saturday night and Sunday morning is not over with. Think ing that the surface at this point might possibly subside, all resi- dents near there were ordered to remove themselves 10 safer spots. The ground beneath the foundry is honeycombed with old workings. and it Is probable that the fault which caused the first subsistence extends 10 this region
 For the first time since the three big units of the Treadwell company were flooded full force of men was put 10 work today al Ready Bullion, this mine now being regarded as absolutely secure No further subsistence has been reported at any section today

and Iron Are
 Given reference
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. 26. Orders issued tonight by the national defense council and the general railroad board to the railroads of the country state that coal and iron transportation is to be given preference over all other traffic in any part of the country and on any railroad. Both of these commodities are greatly needed in the great fac tories where munitions of war are now in progress of manufac- ture, the supply being used up in the factories as rapidly as it can be brought to them.
 For this reason it was thought best to issue orders that they be given preference in the traffic of all railroads The statement aC- companying the order issued to- night declared that in great mea- sure the welfare of the country depends as much on an adequate supply of coal and iron as upon other supplies, most of which are more easily made available in time of need.

If it is possible to seal the fault in the old stOpes the water will then be pumped out of the mines and work resumed Otherwise it is probable that an effort will be made to tun nel under Gastineau channel and work from beneath the ore body. If this proves impra ctiCable after an examination by competent engineers, a monster coffer dam may be con- structed.
 Today General Manager Bradley informed all the married employees that the company had provided jobs for them on the Ready Bullion. and other propreties The unmarried men, numbering possibly a little over 100, will leave They will probably be put to work in the Juneau mines across the channel The town of Douglas is rapidly recovering from the first effects of the shock caused by the catastrophe, and business conditions are assuming normal shape once more.

JUNEAU. Apr, 26.-The formal ex- istencc of the Alaska Agricultural and Mechanical College dates from this afternoon. when the lower house of the territorial legislature, by q vote of nine to seven, passed the measure providing for it's establish ment and maintenance, together with an appropriation of $6o,0O0 The delegation from the Fourth division are today receiving the congratuIa- tions of their fellow members for the splendid fight that brought vie tory out of seeming defeat

Those voting against the adoption of the measure Cannon, Casey. Sow erby, of the First; Daly, Second; Day, Price, Third; C. K Snow, of the Fourth.
 The fight on the floor of the house was led by Speaker Hess and Rep resentatives Nerland and Burns, of the Fourth division. On all ballots cast, with the exception of the final one, the vote stood eight to eight, with no apparent sign of break in the lineup. The discussion waXrd hot and furious at times The one thing that hurt the chances of the Panama Valley for securing the in stitution was the opposition of Rep resentatiye Snow, of the Fourth, which came near undoing the hard work of the other members of the Fairbanks delegation.
 Notwithstanding Shows opposition, it fell to his lot to be the man who is mainly responsible for the pas sage of the bill this afternoon, how ever much it may have been unin- tentional on his part. Yesterday the house passed the measure providing for a refund to mining companies on each stamp in use. After the passage of this measure, MT.
