LOOSE METHODS
 MAY CAUSE LOSS
Ruling of Comptroller of Treasury May Render Invalid Several
 Large Contracts.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Comp- troller Warwick, of the treasury de- partment, in a recent ruling effect ing orders given and contracts entered into between the govern ment of the United States and priv ate corporations and individuals for the supplying of material for war purposes, said that war orders that have not been signed by responsible government contracting agents and and contractor or contracting firm, will not be considered as legally executed.
 This ruling renders doubtful, at least, the validity of several govern ment contracts, involving hundreds of millions of dollars.
 A large proportion of war orders and contracts were let informally by means of the telephone, tele- graph and by letter.

An Argentine battleship arrived at Vera Cruz to assist in observing the Mexi- can independence day. The sailors and marines from the battleship were invited to Mexico City. To prevent the Diaz rebels from attack ing the train, the Mexican paper stated the president sent a request to Diaz that the train carrying the Argentine sailors be permitted to pass through rebel territory un- molested.

HUN REVOLUTION
 IS DIRECTED BY
 CRAFTY OFFICERS
Officers of German Army Managing Revolution to Cause Ultimate
 Collapse.

LONDON.-The Mail, in its com ments on the German situation, says that officers of the high command are engineering the revolution in Germany in such way as to cause its ultimate collapse, and the trium- phant return of the former kaiser to power again.
 Some of the former officers of the German high command who are taking an active part in the revolu- ton, have been recognized, in civi- lian clothes, in the streets of Berlin, while others dressed as workingmen are engaged in haranguing crowds in different parts of the ctiy, en- couraging a revolutionary spirit.
 These officers, the Mail thinks, will later abandon their disguises and begin counter revolutionary movement with the restoration of the former kaiser as the object in view.

NAVY TO ESTABLISH ARPLANE STATION AT SEWARD
GOVERNOR SAVES
 MONEYS LIFE
Sentence Is Commuted From Death to Life Imprisonment for
 Convicted Dynamiter.

SACRAMENTO-Governor Steph- ems, of California, who had been deluged with telegrams and letters asking for executive clemency for Thomas Mooney, who was convicted and sentenced to death in connection with the outrage in San Francisco during the Preparedness Day parade, has commuted the sentence from hanging to life imprisonment. He was to be hanged on December 13.
 Mooney, when he was told of the change in the sentence, refused to accept the commuted sentence and said that he prefers hanging to a living death in the penitentiary at San Quentin.
 Mrs. Mooney, on hearing of the committing of sentence, stated that the action taken by the governor is tantamount to a confession that her husband is not guilty of an offense punishable by hanging, and thinks that the life sentence is not deserved and should not be exacted

ROAD EXTENSION
 IS DELAYED FOR
 BRIDGE BUILDING

When work for the day ceased on the evening of Wednesday last the end of steel had reached bridge IT, which was only partly completed. The work of laying steel is, con- sequently, not possible until the bridge has been completed; and, in the meantime, the steel gang, under Foreman Thomas E. Blakey, have been detailed on other work and will be soon engaged until such time as the work of laying track can be resumed.
 It is expected that bridge IT will be completed in three days more, when the steel gang will resume extending the railroad. Piledriver No. ? is driving the bridge and on completion of the work will be sent on ahead, skipping about three bridges. She will then drive the bridges ahead against the arrival of steel.
 The next three bridges after bridge IT will be driven by the track-driver after the steel reaches these. These are only short bridges and the work of the steel gangs will not be seriously interfered with or delayed to amount to anything.
 Every effort is being made to complete the road to the coal fields at Lignite as soon as possible, and 1t is confidently expected that the Nenana crossing at 43-mile will be reached by Christmas.

LABOR LEADERS
 DEMAND RETR|AL
 OF MOONEY CASE
Communication of Mooney's Sentence Will Not Affect Strike; New
 Trial Demanded.

SAN FRANCISCO.-The commu- tation, by the governor Of Cali fornia, of the sentence passed on Thomas Mooney, is the chief topic of conversation in this city, more especially among the members of the various labor unions.
 Some labor leaders say that the communication of the sentence will have absolutely no effect on the proposed strike which is to be called, and that nothing short of a new trial of Mooney will satisfy organ ized labor throughout the States.
 The trial and conviction of Thomas Mooney created almost worldwide interest, and labor unions through out the United States clamored for a new trial on the ground that Mooney was convicted on perjured evidence. Even President Wilson interferred on Moneys behalf, and requested Governor Stephens of California, to use clemency in his case to avert a big strike, which would have seriously crippled our war preparations.

Kaiser, Pleased With
Money Matters, Says
So In a Statement

AMSTERDAM April 29.-Emperor
William, according to a Berlin dispatch,
has addressed the following manifesto
to Dr. Won Hertling, the imperial chan

The reichstag report for 1917 shows
the splendid state of our money mar
ket and the strength of the resistance of
our economic life which fills me with
proud joy. and l should like to express
my appreciation to all concerned.
This unparalleled success we GER
tainIy owe above all victories which the
divine grace has bestowed upon our
leaders and upon the fighters of our
army and fleet. They are the founda-
ton of strong confidence in the invinci-
BILE strength and future of the father
land, which, as the eighth war loan has
proved, fills all classes Of the popula-
ton.
Apart from that, however, il is pos
sible to conduct our reichsbank, which.
together with the efficiency and pa
triotic spirit of all concerned, has fur
nished the strong backbone which has
enabled us to raise the necessary war
cost.
"I am glad to be able to express this,
coming fresh from the battlefield, and
under the impression created by our
irresistible advance. We are conquer
ing military and economically, and we
have before us, though not an easy.
strong future"
