WASHINGTON, Oct. a.
The text of President Wilson's
reply to Germany follows:
From the Secretary of State to
the Charge d'Affaires of Swift
zerland, ad interim, in charge
of German interests in the
United States:
"Sir: In reply to the COM
nunication of the German gov
crnment, dated the 18th instant,
which you handed me today, l
have the honor to request you
to transmit the following an
swer:
T"The unqualified acceptance by
the present German government
and by a large majority OF the
German Reichstag Of the terms
laid down by the President Of
Tho United States Of America in
his address to the Congress OF
the United States on the 9Th OF
january, 1918, and In his subse-
ouert addresses, justtfes the
President in making a frank and
direct statement of his decision
with regard to tho communica-
ttons of the German government
of the 9Th and 18th OF October,
1918.
rs'It must be clearly understood
that the process OF evacuation
and the conditions OF an armisttce
are matters Of which must be
left to the Judgment and advice
OF the military advisers of the
government Of the United States
and the allied governments, and
the President feels It his duty
to say that no arrangement can
be accepted by the government
OF the United States which does
not provide absolutely satisfac-
tory safeguards and guarantees
OF the maintenance OF the pres
emit military supremacy OF the
armies of the United states and
OF the allies In the Acid.
TaHs feels confident that he can
safely assume that this Will also
be the Judgment and the decision
OF the allied governments.
T"The President feels that 1t Is
also his duty to add that neither
the government of the United
states nor, he IS quite sure, the
governments with which the
government Of the United States
Is associated as bel1igerent Will
consent to consider an arnatsttce
SO long as the armed forces of
Germany continue the illegal
and 1nhuman practices which
they still persist IN.

transportation from the coal fields can be secured
 In the Interior of the Territory coal is being mined in the Nenana coal fields, but so far is only being used to a limited extent by the Alas ka Engineering Commission at Ne mana.
 In the Matanuska field some pre- liminary exploration and little min ing is being carried on by two com panies holding leases, but the major ity of coal being mined is for the Government under the direction Of the Alaska Engineering Commission. Sufficient coal is mined to satlsfy the local demands at Anchorage anG to furnish fuel to the railroad. Agriculture In Alaska It is hardly possible for the i'm mediate present that agriculture can be considered in Alaska to any greai extent, apart from an existing min ing and fishing population. Farmer are dependent upon local markets and owing to depleted population. are facing a serious condition. Farm ing communities are those which make for the stability of the coun try and they should be given ever. encouragement and assistance.
 In the Panama Valley the experi ment stations of the Department ot Agriculture have developed Siber ian wheat which has successfully rip ened for four successive years anG may be termed hardy to the country This year 8 farmers of the Tanan Valley have planted 50 acres in thi. wheat, and next season, with the sect so raised, will probably plant in the neighborhood of 300 acres. By the establishment of a small flour mil in the farming center, by 1920 ever pound of flour used in the interio of Alaska can be produced from l. cally ground wheat.
 The vegetable growth of Alaska i Isurprisin ing; market must be supplie' outside of Alaska, and this can bc found only by reducing vegetable to a dehydrated form; a moder dehydrating plant is inexpensive. Tho most promising present market wil be found in Northern Siberia.
 Farming is most highly developet in the Tanana Valley, but the Mat anuska Valley is steadily forging t the front.
 Until the markets are develope the agricultural products there shouh not be a too speedy rush to the farm but as population increases and a new markets are found farming vii undoubtedly become one of the Tel ritory's greatest assets.
 Agricultural Experiment Stations
 The Summer of 1917 was yer. unfavorable to agricultural operation except for one redeeming feature and that is the killing frosts were

no communication with Bristol Bay and the Aleutian Islands. At Sew ard the Governor found orders for several hundred tons of supplies which probably cannot be delivered this year, with the result that many people may be forced to make their way as best they can to base of supplies.
 Such relatively important places as Skagway, Petersburg, Wrangell, ka- talla, Kodiak and Seldovia will un- doubtedly suffer until Spring brings a resumption of the fishing industry. The larger towns are not without their grievances also. At the best, steamer schedules are very irregular. It thus becomes imperative that a great deal of correspondence should be answered by the same steamer on which it arrives Under the former system mail clerks had mail sorted and classified and postmasters were thus enabled to have mail brought immediately from the ships to the I7OSlOlllCe Wue[e IL 1tCciFSu dlliAO't instant distribution Under the pres ent method, there is delay in trans porting the express and freight to the Postoffice and more delay in sorting, Should steamer be sailing late i'll the evening or early in the morning, letters must be in the P0stOffice by D. m. the day before. Even should a steamer arrive so as to allow mail distribution on the same day, it is often necessary, for the sake of mak- ing answer to illegally intrust val uable letters to an unknown passen- ger or face another delay until the next steamer shall arrive.
 About Alaska Coal
 The coal-using districts of Alaska have suffered greatly through the in- creased cost of coal through the in ferior quality of Washington and British Columbia coal now being shipped.
 The two most prominent fields. the Matanuska and Bering River, are not as yet developed on a large produc tion basis and so are not conner cially important factors but there is no reason why all Territorial de mands should not be immediately satisfied with Alaska coal, providing

 it's inhabitants, and one department should control all the land animals and birds.
 Bone-Dry Alaska
 Prohibition in the Territory has been productive of most beneficial effects. The Governor doubts if even those formerly opposed to pro hibition would now be willing to re turn to the old regime. 1t is prob ably true that immediately before the shipment of liquor to Alaska was prohibited, large quantities of distilled and fermented liquor were imported for future illicit sales when the Ter ritory should go dry. These caches have largely been either consumed or seized Bootlegging is still in eyi- dence, but it is becoming steadily less noticeable. The special employ eei for the suppression of the liquor traffic among the Natives, since the advent of prohibition, are now used in the suppression of all liquor trlf- fife The Governor thinks the en-
 
 pioyment of agents for the suppress sion of liquor traffic should be con | tinued owing to the fact that the distillation of "hootch' is not yet q 1 lost art and undoubtedly there are few illicit stills and breweries scattered about in secret places.
 The total commerce of Alaska with the United States for the fiscal year 1918 was $131, 767,7SS, as compared with $121, ,947 for 1917, the in crease in the export value of sea | products being SIP 12,6G5,41S, of furs $4940S5, of tin s60,315, and of other unclassified exports $1253001. The decrease in the value of copper shipped was $12,SS0,555, gypsum SAP 550, stone and marble $54,185. The export of domestic and foreign gold and silver from Alaska for 1918 amounted to $15,134,523, as compared with S19 .SO1, ,974 for 1917, a decrease of $4,667.451
 On imports from the United States the following increases are shown: Coal $116.674, lumber $473992, hard wore and machinery $7,567 .183, pro visions $52S,751. Decreases were al so shown in liquor, $3S77l6 and all other unclassified items, $2,456 307
 Imports from foreign countrie 5 amounted to $967 532, and exports to foreign countries to $2.379,705. The | total commerce. of Alaska for the fiscal veo~ 1918 cached the sum of J S135, ,115 ,025
