PARIS, Mar. 18.-The treaty of
peace, the terms of which are now
being discussed, will not, it is
thought, include the disposition of
the German warships.
Germany will be required to sur
render her title to the ships, but
their ultimate ownership will be
determined later on.
HELGOLAND AND THE CANAL
PARIS, Mar. 18-The suggestion
has been made that the Island of
Helgoland be maintained by Ger
many as a refuge for peaceful craft
and that Germany would probably
retain the sovereignty of the Kiel
Canal and collect tolls from the
ships that will use it, applying the
revenue thus obtained toward the
operation and maintenance of the
waterway.

EXTRA SESSION
CONGRESS TO Be

WASHINGTON, Mar. 78.-Gov-
eminent officials believe that it is
practically certain that an extra
session of congress will be called
before June first.
Nothing has transpired indicating
that President Wilson has changed
his decision not to call the session
before June; but events foreshadow
the necessity for the calling of
congress earlier.
Cabinet officers believe that the
session will begin in May. Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts,, asked the
Republican senators to favor May
18th as the opening day, while
others suggest the fifth

GENERAL PRAISES
AMERICAN WOMEN

COBLENZ, Mar. Is. - General
Pershing, while on a tour of inspec-
ton of the military and Red Cross
hospitals here today said that he
had nothing but words of the highest
praise for the participation of the
American women in the war.
He said that America could not
have carried out her part in the war
as well as she had done, if it had
net been for the willingness and
courage of the nurses backed by the
patriotic support of the women at
home.
Although America was in the war
for a short time only, the general
said that Americas splendid hospital
service was not excelled by that of
any other nation.

TERRITORY TAKES
PROTECTIVE STEP
N SOPHIA CASE

The territorial senate, now in
session at Juneau, yesterday unani-
mously adopted resolution which
provided for the appointing of a
joint committee of the House and
Senate for the purpose of conduct
ing an investigation into the pro-
batting of the estates of the victims
of the Sophia disaster
The joint committee will be en-
powered to compel witnesses to APP
pear before them.
The resolution was sent to the
House today and there is not the
least doubt but that it will be
adopted
The territorial legislature was
moved to action by persistent and
seemingly authentic reports of legal
malpractice and criminal and unlaw-
full acts being committed in con
nection with the estates of the
Sophia victims, actions which are
altogether unsatisfactory to the heirs
some Of whom are reported to have
entered strong protests.
The Nenana News, in its issue of
March 9Th, published an account
from clipping from the Seattle
Union Record, of iniquitous methods
attempted by some certain Juneau
appointees to exploit the dead thru
the manipulation of legal machin-
cry.
The clipping mentioned was sent
TO Mrs. Maude Bishop, of Nenana,
by Senator Dan Sutherland.

ProposedLockout To-day;
Declare 1t Only Way to
Prevent Series of Strikes

Members of the Building Trades En-
ployers' Association will meet to- day in
a general conference called to discuss
a proposal to close down all work in
definitely. The purpose of this virtual
lock out, according to the Dow Service
daily building reports, is to halt he
practice Of the various building trades
labor unions Of forcing successive in
creases in wages by an interminable
series of strikes.
This process is known to employers
Describing it, the employers say that
one union brings on a strike. then
returns at higher wage, but goes out
again to help another union force a
still higher level. All the unions take
turns, the wage total growing like a
SNOWFALL, which the employers who par
ticipate in the conference to-day say
they propose to break
The decision to call the lock-ou con-
ference was the result OF the announce
ment by the brcklavers last Friday
that they propose to strike for $40
day. The masons now get $3.50 day.
The Situation Explained
Building materials" says the Dow
building reports "are high to- dav
mainly because labor has been
RldHleU dlIHOsL every increase IL
has asked for since this coun-
try went to war. The els-
ment of supply and demand has hardly
appeared in price infations. In fact,
many mills have been hungry for bust
ness up to the present time. When the
country's building movement gets
fairly under way and the capacity of
the country's building material pro-
ducing plants becomes fairly absorbed,
even at the 40 to 90 per cent of ca
pacity at which they will be able to
operate because of unskilled labor
dearth, new costs must be added to the
materials put into new or altered
buildings even above those now repre-
sented by the higher cost of skilled
labor"
While settlements with the Brother
hood of Painters, Decorators and
Paperhangers are progressing and over
lures have been made in the dispute
with the stonemasons' union, union
officials yesterday professed to see
portent of Il general building trades
strike. A union official declared that
the building trades strike, now involv-
ing four crafts and some $4,000 mon,
may soon spread 10 other branches,
thus tying up large building opera
tiors now under way.
