BE A BOND BUYER

From daily reports received by The Citi- zen from Liberty Loan headquarters of the Twelfth District, which includes Alaska, this region ot the country is responding to the efforts of the workers gratifyingly. The cam paign enters the second week with two hun dred and five towns already awarded honor flags and numbers of others applying for them.
 All of the towns having subscribed their quota have not yet applied for flags, as is in stanced in Fairbanks case. Numbers of them are holding off SO that the list may be filled out completely.
 It is noticeable that in all the smaller towns the response to the drive is seemingly more spontaneous than in the larger cities. Small investors are being more strongly at tracted than large ones. This is the end for which the government has been striving. It is more desirable for twenty men to sub scribe S1OO,OOO than for one man to take out the same amount in bonds The government seeks to make every person bond owner It wants every home to have one or more bonds in it. In this manner the nation can be lined up in solid support of the war.
 The local campaign is progressing with satisfaction but the committee would like to see that every person so Sltuated as to make it at all possible, purchases bond. In spite of the fact that this is the poorest season of the year for investors in this country, it is be- lieved that it will be possible to place as many bonds of the present issue as were purchased out ot the second issue.
 To do this may entail few economies on the part of the purchasers, but this should not, and probably will not, deter Alaskans from doing their utmost This is the crucial year of the war, and our united efforts are going to be required to insure success. Do your part by buying Liberty Bond.

OPEN PORTS ON LUSITANlA MAY
 DECIDE SUITS

NEW YORK, April l8.-A survivor of the Cunard liner Lusitania, which was torpedoed on May 6. 1915. by a German submarine off Queenstown, today declared that the open air ports on the lower decks of the yes sel were largely responsible for the ultimate loss of the ship. After the vessel was struck. this survivor testi- fled, the air ports on the lower decks were not closed. and let suffi. cient water into the vessel to finish the sinking. An agent for the navy department also declared that the ports were not closed after the ex- plosion.
 This testimony was brought out at the hearings wherein the Cunard company is seeking relief from lia- bility in connection with damage suits to the amount of $6.0OO.00 It is believed that the cases will be largely determined upon the evi- dence offered today and that it tends to show contributory negligence on the part of the employees of the steamship company.

ALASKA'S NEEDS

There is no doubt that Alaska needs many things from congress, or, rather, legls- lation from congress authorizing these things and to pick out the most pressing needs would be difficult The statement issued by the Geo. detic Survey from Washington last Monday that the immediate preparation for charting Alaskan waters and harbors is Alaska's great est need is by no means used hguratively.
 There is sore need for an adequate chart of Alaskan waters The number of vessels wrecked along the shores of the territory, mostly because of uncharted lines and un- protected danger zones, is increasingly large every year. Under present conditions there is no question that this rate of increase will itself take an upward jump, as more and more vessels are plying the Alaskan waters.
 With the coal mines of the territory be- ing thrown open for entry and several large mines being developed; with the Pacific coast cities preparing to substitute Alaskan coal largely for the product of the mountain states, carrying forward this work be secured as because of war conditions would be extremely unwise, since it would have a considerable tendency to keep Alaskan coal off the Out sue HdIkct, tnuS CultlllS OH DlS source Ol relief from the fuel administration.
 For years. in fact since the territory was purchased from Russia, this work has been allowed to drag along from pillar to post without anyone caring much whether funds were available or not, and the survey people were let work as best they could with what they might be able to extract from unwilling congresses. In more than fifty years under the American Flag only $4,OOOOOO has been appropriated, in small amounts scattered along over years in such a manner that prac- tically nothing could be done. During the last twenty years of this time over 200 yes sels have been lost in these waters, yet it is only recently that much interest has been shown in charting them.
 Delegate Sulzer is doing everything in his power to wake up the lawmakers to the imperative need of the situation for remedy He has the cooperation of the Geodetic Sur vey, and if he is given the support of Alas kans generally he will surely be able to ac- complish something. Unsupported he might be able to get what he is after, but with solid backing his position is much better and his success assured.
 There is regrettable tendency upon the part of some Alaskans to knock everything

GERMANS CLAIM NEW SUBMARINE
 GREAT SUCCESS
tAssociated Prose,

tASSOCtat9d Pr"se)
 AMSTERDAM, April 18.-Address. ing the reichstag main committee today, Vice Admiral von Capelle, German minister of the navy, said that the new U-boat construction is greatly exceeding the losses from the allied anti-submarine campaign. In this he asserted that the Ameri. can destroyers. while adding to the stringency of the patrol. have failed in their object of destroying the U-boat campaign.
 He also declared that the effective ness of the submarine has greatly increased with the introduction of the super-types, high speed cruiser underwater boats which have great cruising radius. He quoted figures which he declared proved that the sinkings are between three and six times as great as the tonnage made available by new British boats. A LIE, SAY BRITISH LONDON. April 18.-The figures given by Admiral von Capelle. Ger man minister of marine. regarding the effectiveness of the new German submarines, are absolutely false, ac. cording to an official statement is sued tonight after von Capelle's ad- dress had been received here. The average monthly losses to British merchant ships. declared the navy officials, during 1917 was 5000 tons while von Capelle is declared to base his arguments upon the German figures of 6OO.OOO tons monthly. The German minister's entire speech is declared to be no more than bull put out to allay German uneasiness over the outcome of the war.

an leader and written for the benefit of the Republican party. He solicits Democratic votes in such manner. Mr. Sulzer is be- fore the Democrats of Alaska as the leader of his party in the territory. He is supported by his record in Washington, by beneficial legislation already enacted and more progres- sive legislation already in the hands of con- gress for action. Between the two men be- fore the Democratic party as candidates for nomination as delegate for Alaska there is but one logical choice, and that one is Charles A. Sulzer.

EXIT CZERNIN

The resignation of Count Czernin, for eign minister of Austria, is strong proof that the influence of Germany is still uppermost in the control of the Austrian government. Czernin has displayed too much inclination to listen to the demands of the Austrian peace elements, and his ideas for peaceful settle ment have not suited the pan-Germans who are in the Teuton saddle.
 The immediate cause of the resignation was probably the letter said to have been written by the Austrian emperor to French prince for transmission to the government of

LONDON.-A popular English ac. tress. who married young man connected with a titled family some time ago. was asked by friend how she managed to retain the same taxicab driver every night, and whether she did not find this ex- pensive in these days of taxi-short- age.
 Not at all." replied the actress. according to a newspaper account. "He happens to be my husband. When we married he hadn't a penny, and as motoring was the only thing he could do. started him with a taxi cab. sAd he is doing very well: AS he doesn't charge me anything. the saving on my fares pays me a de- cent interest on my investment."

REMEMBER THE CHILDREN

Writing for the American Magazine, Pri- vate Peat, of the Canadian forces overseas, says: After the first gas attack at Ypres, in April, 1915, was knocked out for while and was in the clearing station at Merville One day when was lying there on stretcher a poor, miserable soldier came in He was covered with mud and blood He was minus his overcoat and his tunic was torn by shrap- nel. He was soaked to the bone, for it was raining, and he was shivering with cold and pain. The nurse hurried to him and asked him what had become of his overcoat
 "'Oh,' he said, his teeth chattering, my pal was killed back there, and he looked so cold, lying there in the rain, I took off my coat and put it over him.
 "If the men in the trenches, with their dirt and their filth, their swearing and fight ing, can show such tenderness and sacrifice, are you at home going to fall below them in nobility of spirit? don't believe you are"
 It is this same spirit of unselfshness which is going to keep the fatherless children of France fed and clothed until the time comes when France can take care of her own chil- dren. This soldier gave up his coat, sorely needed by himself, to his dead comrade Mil lions of children in France deprived of fath- CTS need Sustenance to keep them from the liv- ing death of malnutrition.
