SCHOOL BOARD
 |S ASKED DFOR , FUNDS REPORT.

In taking office last evening the new council was informed by the munich pal clerk that the school board had filed no financial report during the year. The new city fathers immedi- ately expressed the view that if the town was to furnish part of the money for the maintenance of schools it would be no more than right to ask the board for a monthly report
 Before the meeting came to an end the mayor directed that the city clerk inform the school board that the coun cil would like to have report at the regular meeting in April This action was taken as such reports are GUS tomary in other towns in Alaska and elsewhere.

ALIEN ENEMY
 ACTIVITY IS
 NOT SQ GREAT

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Attorney General Gregory, in a letter given out today, says that the reports of alien enemy activities in the United States are greatly exaggerated. The letter was in reply to one written him by Representative Currie of Michigan, in which the congressman said that there was strong feeling throughout the country that the government is too lenient in dealing with the alien enc mics.
 The attorney general, in his reply, cites the fact that the report of the national board of underwriters shows that during the past year not one fire was clearly proven to have been the work of alien enemies.

Now that the second Liberty Loan
is an accomplished fact, we can look
back and estimate it's Significance,
both spiritual and material, to the
United States. Boersianer, the an
alysis of finance, writing in the jan
uary number Of Hearst's Magazine.
tells us that it is the largest sub
scription in the annals of finance,
whether made by a government or a
private firm. From the moral and
the financial momentum accumulat-
ed, as we'll as from the almost mex
haustible resources of the country,
he finds it only natural that the sec
ond appeal should have brought d
larger response than the first; and
he predicts that the same forces will
be at work to make the response
cumulative in whatever succeeding
loans the government shall ask. This
authority brings out with force and
clearness the contrast between our
own loans and those of Germany,
which are paid, not in cash, but in
promissory notes. The effects of the
latter system on prices of commodi-
ties and the value of currency as
such as to make us modify, to very
large extent, the apparent value of
the, German loans. The financial
Implications of the American re-
Spouse are most encouraging, though
they might easily have been lost
sight of by people in general, IL 1t
were not for such expert explana-
ton as that given by Boerisaner's
article.

PREDICTS GOVERNMENT CON
troll FOR COAL AND LABOR.

Government control of coal mines
and CONSUMPTION of labor were pre-
dicted by L. A. Snead, head of the
Fuel Administration distributing
agency, in testimony before the Sem
ate committee investigating the coal
situation.
Coordination of effort is necessary
to meet present demands, Mr.. Snead
said, and he added that he could see
no possibility of the production Of
the 100000 tons the Fuel Admin
istration estimates the country IS
short this year. Restricted use is
the only solution, he declared.
Priority orders for coal shipments
might afford some temporary relief
from shortage experienced in many
parts of the country, Mr.. Snead said,
but the only solution of the whole
problem is adequate and efficient
transportation.
