BRITISH HOLDING OWN

LONDON, April 3.-Reports re- ceived from the British field head quarters today state that the Brit ish forces are more than holding their own in the Arras sector, where the Germans are massing for an- other big drive. Pressure was re- newed in that quarter today by the enemy, but the attack was repulsed by the British and a number of Ger mans taken captive. The reports state that the British have also taken Ayette, together with 100 prisoners and three guns. Ayette is a town eight miles southwest of Arras and it's possession by the British is re- garded as most important. The contest is described as one of the most stubbornly fought of the big offensive, the Germans having sac rificed many lives in their effort to retain their recently captured position.

Mat Carlson Defeats Mrs. Hess For Place On Fairbanks School ....
 Boa-d.

FAIRBANKS, April 2-The voters of Fairbanks elected a new mayor, three new members of the city council and a new member of the school board yesterday, a total of 704 voters casting their ballots for the various candidates. E. A. Suter, the live jeweler, the only candidate in the field, was chosen mayor, to succeed Henry T. Ray The three successful candidates for councilmen are George Johnson, the restaurant man, Ben Sherman,- one of the pro- prietors of the Eagle barber shop, and J. A. Mcintosh, of the drug firm of Mcintosh & Kubon. Matt Carlson, office deputy in the office of Marshal Erwin, defeated Mrs Luther C. Hess, in the school board contest.
 The principal contest was between the school board candidates, Carlson having made the race on the anti Keenan platform, while Mrs. Hess permitted the voters to beileve tha; she favored the retention of Miss Keenan as principal of the schools Carlson received 359 votes and Mrs Hess boiled 325, indicating that sentiment is very evenly divided or the school question.

VIEWED WITH SUSPICION

WASHINGTON, D. C., April B. The statement credited to Count Czernin to the effect that France suggested a peace discussion, is re- garded here as the beginning of a new peace offensive, with the Aus trian foreign minister acting at the request of the kaiser. It is believed that the speech of Czernin is poli- tical maneuver designed to spread the impression that the Allies are fighting solely to recover Alsace- Lorraine. The peace move has been timed to follow the breakdown of the Teutonic military offensive. E.
 Officials of the state department declare that the Austrian foreign minister has deliberately misinter- preted some of the statements re- gently made by the French premier, twisting the words to suit the Teu- tonic plans.

WASHINGTON,D. D C., April 8. Hurley and General Manager Piez, of the emergency fleet corporation, have wired to all shipyard managers throughout the United States, asking for an explan- ation for the failure of the yards to deliver the tonnage expected of them during the month of March.
 Chairman Hurley says that the shortage in output was keen dis appointment to the board and he places the responsibility on the man. agers of the shipyards, the men actually in control of building oper- ations, the keynote of the present situation. Money, men and material have been supplied without stint ey the nation, he points out, and there appears to be no excuse for the poor showing made in the delivery of vessels.

VISIT OF BAKER
 ID EUROPE AIDS
 CAUSE OF ALLIES
Believed Secretary Had Unified the Enemies of Kaiser In
 Gratifying Manner.

WASHINGTON. D. C., April B. Whatever may have been the origi- nal purpose of the visit of Secretary of War Baker to Europe, it is ap- parent that his mission has resulted in the most complete unification of Germany's three most powerful enc mics and it is confidently expected that the effect will be demonstrated shortly on the Western battlefront.
 Reports received from the other side of the Atlantic indicate that brought much closer together by America and her allies have been the efforts of Baker and the pre- diction is made that the nations op- posing Germany can be depended upon to work together shoulder to shoulder, with perfect harmony and for common cause.

NEW ATTACK PLANNED

PARIS, April 3.-The failure of the Germans to reach Paris and Amiens through wing attacks in their first rush from Cambrai, apparently has caused the German command to center the attack on Amiens, hoping to encircle the British base by at- tacBsing through five we'll defined natural approaches. The first sec tor is south of the Ancre, the second between the Ancre and Somme riv- CTS, the third between the Somme and Luce rivers, the fourth between
 the Luce and Avre rivers and the fifth between the Avre and Noye.

STILL PREPARING

PARIS, April 3.-Local attacks at various points along the front con- tinue to keep both sides busy in the outpost areas. Back of the lines preparations for the renewal of the slaughter on a vast scale are mov- ing steadily and rapidly and gen. eral resumption of hostilities may be expected within very short time Allied commanders continue to ex- press confidence in their ability to check any further material advance. The situation on the whole has a hopeful look for the Allies.
The Nenana daily news., 1918-04-03

LONDON, April 3.-In an ad- dress delivered before the Vienna municipal council, Count Czernin, Austrian foreign minister, is reported to have said yesterday that Austria Hungary recently was on the roint of opening peace negotiations v:th the Allies. The wind had suddenly veered, however, he continued, the Allies evidently having decided to await developments in Austria in the hope that the dual monarchy would soon be defenseless. Dis patches had been received from Pre- mier Clemenceau, of France, asking Austria on what basis she would ne- gotiate peace. To this, Austria, act ing ip. agreement with Germany, had replied that Alsace-Lorraine ap- peared to be the only obstacle in the way ef peace with France. Fur ther discussion, said Czernin, was prevented by Clemenceau, who had declared that France could not ne gotiate on that basis.
 After referring to the above in- cident, Czernin informed the council that Austria would insist on status quo, adding, "The aspirations of France and Italy are utopias which will be terribly avenged. l do not intend to go begging for peace o1 to obtain it by entreaties and lam. entations, but to enforce it by oul moral right and physical strength Any other tactics, consider, would contribute to the prolongation of the war"
 Referring to the recent declara- tions of President Wilson, .he for eign minister said that ne did not DSllGNG IH0 SASSQIlNC ISoliy J desired to cause separation be- tween Vienna and Berlin, but prob. ably considered Austria-Hungary more favorably disposed toward peace than Germany. -:-~
 In conclusion, Czernin declared that colossal struggle has begun on the West front, where the Austro- Hungarian and German troops are fighting shoulder to shoulder. "We are fighting together for the defense of Austria-Hungary and Germany he said, land come what may, we will not sacrifice Germany's inter- ests anymore than Germany will leave us in the lurch. We are not fighting for imperialistic or annexa- tionists aims for ourselves or for Germany"

GERMAN PLANES DOWNED

LONDON, April 3.-British air planes dropped seventeen tons of ex- plosives among the German forces on Monday, according to advices just received by the war office. Thous- ands of shots also were fired from the aerial machine guns. Sixteen enemy airplanes and two ballons are reported to have been shot down during the attack.
