OPINION OF BALFOUR
He Says That the Teutons So Far Haven't Shown
 Shown a Desire for
 Honorable Peace.

LONDON, May 1.-The declara- tion of Foreign Secretary Balfour in the House of Commons that Eng land was ready to consider honorable peace, has been featured by the news papers.
 The Foreign Secretary said any person having peace proposals must advance them in straightforward manner and have proper credentials that he is an accredited representa- tive.
 We are ready to listen to any such proposals" he said, flor Eng. land is desirious of an honorable termination of the war; but the peace moves heretofore made by the Teutons have not been in the inter ests of fair and honorable peace"

GERMAN AGENTS BUSY
Claim that United States Is Only BIuffing and Will Leave Italy
 to Herself.

WASHINGTON, May r. - Italy in asking for the transfer of Amer ican troops to her borders conveyed the information that the Nation has plenty of man-power but is desirious of the inspiration that will afford the civilian and soldier population in the face of threatened Teuton offensive.
 It is pointed out the sending of Americans to Italy would also con vince the Italian people that the United States stands firmly behind them. German propaganda is active in Italy from Sicily to the Alps, tell ing the people they are to be left to their own resources, fighting for a hopeless cause, and that the Unit ed States is only bluffing.

WASHINGTON, May 17-Presi dent Wilson's wishes against the resolution of George E. Chamberlain of Oregon, which the President con sidered proposed a general investiga tion into the conduct of the war, have prevailed in the Senate where the leaders on both sides agreed not to bring the resolution up until Mon day.

A serious situation has arisen in Juneau within the past few days with regard to the fish business and the entire waterfront is buzzing with talk about the ice shortage, the lack of landing places for the fishing boats and the probability of the en- tire fishing fleet leaving Juneau for towns where they get better accom- modations, unless something is done at once.
 Eleven boats have been in the Channel for the past several days waiting for a supply of ice some of them having been held here since Monday Ice is a necessity to the fisherman and every days delay, while waiting for supply, means a loss of not less than $240 to each boat It is asserted that the lack of free dockage space will also tend to drive the fishing fleet from Ju- neau, because free dockage and plen-

Have Suddenly Taken the Initiative on Plateau of ASiago Against the

NOT WAIT ANY LONGER
Their Move in Taking the Lead Has ad Many PreCedents in War
 for a Defense.

DATELESS-A summary to the As sociated Press says the rugged peaks of the Asiago Plateau on the Italian front again are famed into action.
 The offensive, however, this time is taken by the Italians and the Aus tro-German forces, instead of launch ing the long expected attack on the Italian lines, are compelled to fight hard to maintain their positions held since November.
 The fact that the Italian forces took the initiative seems to indicate that they are seeking to carry the fight to the enemy in such a way as to break up any arrangements for launching a strong Teutonic as- saut.
 This move had many precedents in war, strong offensive at threat ened point, being considered good de- fensive tactics under certain condi- tnons.
