MANAGEMENT OF
 COMMISSION TO
 UNDERGO PROBE
ttSSociated Prsss1

ttSSnctAto0 treSS1
 WASHINGTON, D. C.. April D. One of the first outgrowths of the fight being made against the ratif1- cation of Thomas Riggs. Jr.. for governor of Alaska will be an inves. tigation of the management of the Alaskan railroad and of the building operations under the Alaskan En- gineering commission. This investi- gation will be broad. and charges made against Commissioner Riggs will be probed to the bottom.
 In the meantime the senate com mittee on territories announces that it will not take any action on the appointment of MT. Riggs until the probe has been completed and the findings returned. It will probably be several weeks, and possibly months, before any definite action can be taken.
 Many charges have been made against MT. Riggs in connection with the management of the work in the interior of Alaska. Some of them are highly sensational in nature. On the other hand. MT. Riggs has the best of recommendations from people who are well posted upon the work which has been done. In order to get at the bottom of the mess, the board of inquiry will give both sides a full chance to prove or disprove the charges which have been made.

 NEAR PREMIER

PARIS, April 2.-Premier Clemen- ceau, while making his daily visit to the French front yesterday. ven tured too near the front line and his automobile was shelled vigorously by German batteries. Several of the shells struck near the premier's car and shattered every window in the machine.
 The premier escaped without any injuries and was removed from the danger zone without delay, although he laughingly protested at the un. ceremonious haste exercised. He re. turned to Paris last night full of confidence in the favorable issue Uf the great battle for the allied forces.

ASK SHIPYARDS
 EXPLAIN CAUSE
 FOR FALL DOWN
(Aseociated Presal

tASSOC1dteO FreSss
 WASHINGTON, D. C., April D. The responsibility for the produc- tion of shipping is being put squarely up to the managers in direct control of the shipbuilding plants of Ameri- ca. It will be necessary for them to carry out the program as outlined by the government or furnish valid reason why this is impossible. This policy was announced tonight by the heads of the United States ship ping board.
 Both Chairman Hurley, of the fed eral shipping board, and General Manager Piez, of the emergency fleet corporation, tonight wired all shipyard managers asking for an ex- planation of why the output fell be- hind in March. They said they were keenly disappointed in the ton mage delivered and put 1t up to the men in control to deliver the goods or get out.
 The keynote of the homogeneous policy is that the government has supplied men, money and materials without stint. The shipyards prom ised to deliver 197,775 tons and ac- tually delivered only 166.700 tons. The shipping board now desires to know why the promises were not kept. From now on it is declared that there is no reason why the monthly output should not be in ex- cess of the requirements, and every effort is to be made to effect this.

A food drive has been launched p this com munty. It will differ from former in that it will be conducted scientific lines We have done very well in food production and, perhaps of us have done fairly well in food conservation, but have proceeded somewhat blindy though earnestly We have learned how produce food and to preserve it, and to make of certain unfamiliar substitutes which the nation needs quantities A year ago we could how serious the food situation become

We and Bulqaria

Why the president hesitates 10 declare against Bulgaria and Turkey has never been definite ly stated by him. We are in a state of war with both countries and according to the more recent dispatches Bulgarian troope the Western front facing if not the American sector allied troops with which American troops have been brigaded.
 declaration of war does not necessarily pre- cede a war. There have been many without declaration Belligerents after the passage of ultima tums, without formal notice, further ado went at it. But while there was no formal declaration there semblance of peace between the nations at war. Relations cut off and the representatives of country either sent out of the country or recalled.
 We. however. are maintaining friendly relations with the nations with whom we are at war The Bulgarian minister enjoys the same status at Wash ingon that of other envoys of the rank from friendly countries, and he has the same freedom of movement and the same opportunities to discover things of value to enemies of which Bulgaria is
 We suppose that the president entertains a ling erng hope that by the preservation of relations with Bulgaria and Turkey may yet win diplomatic victory Germany by aenatng those allies of the central powers Several things conspire to that hope appear forlorn. One thing is long record since the began, of diplomatic failures
 We have failed sgnaly to the German people o the niquty of their leaders have failed to disturb the position of Austria and every have started in Russia there has been erected a monument to it's failure
 We have failed in diplomacy because of the neglect of condition precedent to success. We had neglected to show imposing military strength which promised to these people more they could gain from German triumph. There time when the allies might have enlisted the interest Bulgaria but they let that time go by. Ferdinand the Fox was open to bargaining but the right offer not made him until he had to believe that the goods could not be delivered
 Bulgaria might listen to reason if the allies making headway at Salonk or the British were really threatening Constantinople. But Bulgaria feels absolutely and it will take a much greater dis aster than Germany has suffered on the Western front to disturb slightly that of security
 The hopes of Bulgaria bound up with those of Germany. The aims of Bulgaria far as the allies are concerned precisely the same as the German aims. The to fulfill those aims that would be employed by Germany, are no doubt being em- ployed by Bulgaria. We have no doubt that Ger many would make valuable use of German em- bassy at Washington. So is Bulgaria making what use it can of it's Washington legation

THE EDITOR WEEPS

Here I sit writing editorials trying to make Amer jeans buy Liberty Bonds. What shame I weigh 175 pounds, measure six feet, and am healthy. I ought to be working in the shipyards a coal mine or on farm, in munitions factory. There ought to be no more for me here than there would be in spending eight hours a day telling a man to pro tect his life, or advising pickles to warts.
 First I tell the farmers they ought buy Liberty Bonds. Then tell housewives they ought save and buy Liberty Bonds. Then I tell city workers they ought to take much each week month out of their pay envelopes and buy Liberty Bonds. What a mess Why should Americans have to be told the advantages of Liberty Bonds. Might well tell blind fish the advantages of glasses
 There is only reason why every man in America should buy Liberty Bonds-shoud go in rags to do t-should starve himself if necessary to do it. And that is because it the right thing to do What the hell is the difference whether Liberty Bonds pay four and one quarter per interest or no in terest at all. It is the duty of every American to buy them if he knew they would be repudiated the next day.
 have a spot in my heart for that Chinese bought 5000 worth of bonds and when wise guy asked him why buy Liberty Bonds. John?" replied Why not?" Yes Why not?"
 The man who stops to think how much interest a Liberty Bond will bring is a skunk. If had my way I'd make the interest two per if there weren't enough real Americans in the country to handle them I'd tax hell out of property, incomes wages and everything else
 I'm sick of this job

JEROME, April 22.-We are after the KIZER; that is the cry of the car penters of the United Verde Extension Mining company at the new smelter at Verde. We have no slackers here; the slogan here is Buy a Bond or Hit the Road. If you are not willing to help your Uncle Sammie, why you are help ing kizer Bill. In the big bond drive of the patriotic citizens and the copper companies of the Verde Valley the car penters of the U. V. E. Mining com- pany in honor of the way they were treated by the company in their late grievence, and to show their apprecia- tion are doing all they can to help the company make a 100 per cent on Lib erty Bonds. There are GA carpenters and helpers and have signed up for $6500 worth of Liberty Bonds, with three of their number who did not feel able to take Liberty Bonds but signed up for Baby Bonds, making 100 per cent for the carpenters and helpers. We have enemy aliens, registered as such who have taken out $100 Liberty Bonds to help Uncle Sam lick their Pa. Now let all who read this get in and do their bit. Let the rich stacker and the big companies get in and pay their pro-rata with the poor carpen- ter helpers who have ten kiddies to feed; who took out $50 bond, Now let's hit the Kizer and hit him hard
 Don't be stacker if you are too old to fight; buy a Bond; that is the cry of the carpenters of the l.. V. EXten- sion company. No wobblies here, but all 100 per cent Americans

The Non-Partisan League

Reference in a senate debate on Tuesday was made to the activities of A. F. Townley who is directing the affairs of the Non Partisan League so-caed farm organization which is cutting an important figure in politics throughout the northwest and whose in fuence is being felt in some degree in all agricultural states west of the Missouri river It is expected that it will be very influential next fall in the election of congressman.
 Townley was charged in the senate debate with being under German influence. Indeed it has been said that German gold the league on it's feet though it is able to stand with fund de- rived from fees of its members amounting to more than million dollars.
 The ostensible purpose of the league was to bene- fit farmers. It proposed kind of socialism the gov ernment control of all industries except agriculture That is Of all industries contributing to the profit able pursuit of agriculture. For instance, the gov ernment is expected to conduct packing houses ee- vaors, fertilzing plants, the manufacture of farm machinery and whatever else the farmer needs with out profit. But there is be no interference with any scheme the farmers organization can devise to increase agricultural profits
 This was an alluring program and it attracted farmers in shoals, thousands of them In some rural communities the membership of the league embraces every farmer within miles, All are expected to vote in the interest of the league and candidates ap- proved by the league.
 So far there would be nothing essentially dis loyal unless desire for the whole and the full ness thereof for selfish purposes species of dis loyalty. farmer who might want everything for lhinsef might still regard himself as a pretty good patriot. provided patriotism did not initiate against his self-interest.
 But the league needed votes and it has gone after them in every direction It has enrolled the l. w. w and other elements of more deeply suspected pro-Germanism. Altogether it has become an or ganization which promises to disarrange the pro- grams of the politicians of the old parties in many communities.
 It is not at all likely that this movement was of German origin. It had its start in small way at least as long as two years ago Its appeal then was made only by farmers. It is like many organiza
