AMSTERDAM. Feb. 5.-Decisions
of far reaching importance bearing
upon the future policies of the Ger
man and Austro-Hungarian govern
ments are expected to result from the
council of the Teuton chiefs which
Opened in Berlin yesterday, according
to information received today from
the German capital
1t is reported that the representa-
tives of the central empires have de-
cided to serve an ultimatum on the
BolsheviH delegates at the Brest Lit
ovsk peace conference demanding def
mite acceptance or rejection of the
German terms within a specified time
Another question which is absorb
ing the attention of the German rep
resentatives is the divergence of prin-
ciple in the recent war aims speeches
OF Count Won Hertling, the German
chancellor, and Count Czernin, the
Austrian foreign minister. The Ger
mans aim to bring the Austro-Hun-
garians into line and to halt any
further overtures which Emperor
Charles may be disposed to make to-
wards the United States.
Germany not only wants to hold
Austria subservient to her own peace
terms, but wants to take the lead and
hold the initiative when it comes to
putting out peace feelers" to the en-
tente
The industrial unrest in both Ger
many and Austria is being discussed
at the council and cooperative steps
lare being planned to hold down the
agitations in both countries by force of
arms.
The kaiser is represented at the
council by DR. Won Kuehlmann, the
German foreign secretary and Emper-
or Charles of Austria, has represen-
tation in the person of Count Czernin
the Austrian foreign minister.
General Won Ludendorff, quarter
master general of the German army
and chief of staff to Won Hindenburg.
is representing the German military
party. Both Bulgaria and Turkey
have representatives present but they
are not playing an important part in
the deliberations.
1t is accepted here as a foregone
conclusion that the Germans will dom
mate the council and that they will
coerce Austria into the acceptance of
their military plans for at least the
, first half of the new year.
The breaking of the German strike
has further emboldened the militar-
lists. The German government now
claims that conditions in the indus
trial districts are normal, thanks to
the prompt and efficient measures
taken to wipe out seditious agita-
tiOns"

Baker Tells of
Troops at Front
No Great Engagements Yet-Feeling
in Germany Unripe at Present For
Real Revolution.

WASHINGTON Feb Awhile
American troops are now occupying
portion of the actual battle front
in France, the operations in which our
troops have so far engaged have been
of minor character, Secretary OF
War Baker announced today in his
weekly war review
Secretary Baker warns that while
dissatisfaction is no doubt rife in Ger
many and strikes have occurred,
Americans must not allow these re-
ported disturbances to interfere with
the effectiveness or speed of our own
preparations.
Secretary Baker asserts that reports
spread in certain quarters by the en-
emy that he holds a preponderant num-
merical superiority In the west have
gained some credit While positive
proof has been received that the enemy
has removed troops from the eastern
theatre and is stripping other fronts
for the coming struggle in the west,
the allies are believed still to have the
superiority, both in men and guns. the
secretary says.
American patrols have been active
in NO Mans Land" says Secretary
Baker, and our troops have made
themselves familiar with the details
OF the enemy's position opposite them
The Germans, on January 80, at
tempted strongly pushed raid against
the American line for the purpose of
identification. The dermans under the
cover of heavy mist, the statement
continues, were able to reach the
American advanced positions, but were
compelled to withdraw in haste after
inflicting slight casualties.
Two days later the enemy appear
entity attempted another thrust, but
again was dispersed before anw head
way could be made.

CONGRESSMAN BELIEVES WE
SHALL HAVE LONG STRUG-
GLE IN EUROPE
Revolution Will Prove
y Ineffective
Would Place All Shipping Activ-
tiles Under Control of the Navy
Observation-Disclosures Sunk
as Fast as They Are Built.

WASHINGTON. Feb 5.-Until the
United States has 100000 men in
France the war will not be won Rep
resentative Miller, of Minnesota, who
has just returned from the French
battle front, told the house today
I'VE must have 100000 and we
should have 5,OO0,O00," he said. I'VE
will never win the war by revolu-
ton in Germany. Some slight erur-
tions may occur, but not sufficient to
be of any particular value. There is
Just one way to beat Germany and
that is to beat her army
Germany has 100000 men, per-
fectly trained and splendidly equip
ped" Miller declared. The weak spot
in our preparations to beat such an
army is our weakness in the depart
ment of transportation.
"And British officers told me trans
portation is ninety per cent Of the
game" he said
Summing up the submarine situa-
ton, Miller said the Germans had
built all told, 265 submarines and the
allies had destroyed more than 100.
Now submarines are being destroyed
as fast as they are manufactured.
With the return of the summer there
will be a large increase in the total
tonnage destroyed by U-boats. Miller
predicted.
He insisted that one step that must
be taken to increase &he efficiency OF
the shipping of the United States is
TO put the whole transportation prob
lem in the hands of the navy.
He said each man at the front will
require six tons of shipping each
year and therefore, to maintain three
million men abroad, 18,000,000 tons of
shipping would be required.
I'VE cannot build anywhere near
the number of ships we shall need,
he added, "and therefore we must, by
efficient coordination, make those
that we have go farther"
WASHINGTON, Feb 5.-Warning
the nation that the end of the war is
far off, Senator Wadsworth of New
York, Republican member of the
senate military affairs committee
called upon congress this Afternoon
to order a reorganization of the wal
management as a safeguard against
further mistakes of the nature reveal
ed by the army investigation. He par
ticularly urged the passage Of the
war cabinet and munitions dictator
bills.
Senator Wadsworth confined his
criticism to the present system of gov
ernment and made no attack upon in
dividual officials. He praised tn,
many accomplishments of the admin
istration during the past year and de
scribed the period through which tn,
nation has just passed as Formative
and experimental"

FLOOD WATERS DO NOT ;.
 DAMAGE GOVT. RAILROAD

Anchorage, July 12.-While the flood waters this season in the Talk eetna and susitna rivers were un- usually high, no material damage was occasioned to the grade of the government railroad.
 The Talkeetna river flows into the Susitna river at 8 point about 116 miles north of Anchorage. Near the junction of the two streams and for stretches of considerable lengths south of there, the Susitna parallels the railroad grade. Flood waters at times reached the grade but did not injure it.
 The movement of. ice at the breakup this spring in the Susltna river manifested especially terrific force. The ice badly eroded the banks Of the river.

SPEAKING OF LIBERTY
 GARDENS

The comment made in the col umns of the Daily Alaskan a few days ago of Marshal Pages spud patch has disclosed the fact that there are several other potato fields of note which should have been mentioned.
 On Third Avenue, adjoining his residence is the scene of endeaVor along the liberty garden line of Frank Suffecool, and it is 8 mighty pleasing scene, for his patch re- sembles some kind of a forest, his potato trees are so high. The plants are all in blossom, and when thoroughly inspected showed that they were all in healthy state, and bade fair of yielding MT. Suffecool a bountiful harvest.
 Opposite the Page ranch third is a fine garden which is being nur- tured by MT. and Mrs. Paul McClel' land and Miss Agnes Moffatt, and adjoining this is Postmaster Conwsy's garden. These all look well, and will return a handsome profit on the energy that will have been expended by harvest time.
