Of CzERN|N
IS ACCEPTED
Owing to Efforts of Austria to
Obtain Peace, Minister of
Foreign Affairs Is Compelled
to Resign.

AMSTERDAM, April 15.-Vienna
dispatches received here this after.
noon say that the Austro- Hungarian
foreign minister, Count Czernin, has
handed his resignation to Emperor
Charles, and the latter has accented
it. The emperor, however, has en-.
trusted to Count Czernin the conduct
of the. foreign affairs pending the an
pointment of successor.
The recent publication by Franco
of the futile peace appeal made by
Emperor Charles, and the efforts of
Austria to explain satisfactorily to
Germany his letter to the entente. is
probably the most potent influence in
causing the resignation of the foreign
minister There appears no doubt
that Il was through the efforts of
Count Czernin and by his advice that
the emperor was induced to make the
move toward peace.
Berlin reports show that the i'm
perial government is much displeased
with the action of Austria-Hungary,
and the German government is re-
ported to have insisted on the eIimi-
nation of Czernin from the ministry.

COAST AND HARB0R
SURVEYS ARE URGED

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Urging
protection for Alaskas gateways by
adequate coast and harbor charting, a
bulletin was issued today by the Unit
ed States Coast and Geodetic Survey.
1t says that less than four million dol
lars has been spent in Alaskan waters
in the more than fifty years that the
territory had been under the Ameri-
can flag.
In the bulletin it is pointed out
that Alaska has many fine, undeyel-
oped harbors, which are practically
unnavigable, owing to the fact that
they have not been charted. The war,
it says, should not delay the prep
arations for the work. During the
past twenty years 124 American YES
sells have been lost in Alaska waters.
and in the opinion of the chief OF
the survey this is the greatest need
of Alaska-to prevent the recurrence
of such losses.

COMMITTEE FOR
MALONEY ISSUES
ITS STATEMENT

JUNEAU, April 15.-WithOut deny
ing a word of the allegations made
against Governor Strong, the Maloney
campaign committee today issued a
statement in which it characterized
as outrageous the attack of John w.
Troy, the editor of the Juneau Daily
Empire, upon Governor Strong. The
committee sets forth that Strong's pO-
litical career terminated when his
successor, Thsmas Riggs, Jr,, was ap-
pointed, and that it does not in any
way affect the issues involved in the
candidacy of William Maloney for del
egate.
The committee also says tnat in
1918 evidence similar to that which
has now been published broadcast
with reference to Strong, was col
lected with a view of defeating his
candidacy at that time.
Space is given by the committee
also to the fact that Strong resided
in the territory for twenty years, and
that he was governor for five years
during which time his conduct was all
right.

the report SAYS:

Continuing, the report says:
There are over $4,000 miies of de-
tailed coast line of Alaska, and it can
not be approached without plying the
waters that nearly surround it. The
sea Is the only route to the territory
because of the gigantic mountains
that may never be surmounted by
railroads.
The exports from Alaska during the
past fifty years have amounted to
$70S,O00,000, reaching their greatest
annual amount last year, when 1884,
793,059 worth of goods wer sent out of
the territory. The imports totaled
$412,O00,000 in fifty years, showing the
vast amount of trade carried on with
the territory solely by means of ships.
Seventy per cent of the ship losses,
the geodetic survey figures out, were
due to STANDINGS which might have
been prevented by accurate charts of
the waterways.

PLAY BALL - To
RING OUT TODAY

CHICAGO, April 15.-Despite the
war, the fans will not be deprived of
their national game this year, for to-
day the American League baseball
season opens. Last fall it was feared
that it would be impossible to start
the season this spring AS many of the
stars were either in the army or about
to enter. Indications are, however,
that the fans will be given good run
for their money everywhere, as all
the teams have suffered equally in
the loss of men, thereby making them
as evenly matched as ever.

FAILS
IN ATTEMPT
FOR VICTORY
Territory Taken by Germans
Means Nothing When They
Failed to Annihilate British
Armies.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-In the
war departments review of military
activities on the western front it says
that the turning point of the great
battle is being reached now, and the
Germans have failed to achieve vic
tory in the field. They will soon be
forced to resume their old tactics
along the western and other fronts.
Continuing, the review points out
that the object of the German attack
was to annihilate the British armies,
to make them ineffective for future
fighting, and when they failed to do
that they lost their chance of victory
The territory captured means moth
ing, so far as the final outcome is
concerned, but may proiong the strug-
gle.
The Germans are striking at the
weakest points along the British line,
within forty miles of Calais, war de-
partment officials learn, and it is be
lieyed that they will probably con
tinue their assaults in these regions,
if they are able to muster sufficient
driving power

Germans Repulsed

LONDON, April 15.-British forces
again repulsed seven German attacks
in the Mervtlle sector today, infiicting
heavy losses on the enemy. The Brit
ish again lost Neuye Eglise, which
has changed hands a number of times
during the past few days.
Southwest of Bailleul the Germans
temporarily penetrated the British po-
sitions, but later were driven out
by strong counter-attacks.
Allies Hold Their Own
PARIS, April 15.-RepOrts from the
allied leaders all along the western
front show that the entente forces are
holding their own against the on
slaughts of the Germans With the
exception of the penetration of the
lines at Neuve Eglise, the enemy
has not met with any success.
In the Neuve Eglise sector the Ger
mans hurled thousands of men at the
British forces with a reckless disre-
gard of life.
Documents taken from German pris-
oners show that the Teutons are de.
termined to separate the allied armies,
to drive through their lines for such
distance that it will be difficult for
them to render aid to each other in
withstanding massed attacks.
