Request Embarrasses.

Berlin, April S.-Majority socialist members of the German cabinet have been placed in an embarrassing po- sition by demands of labor leaders for withdrawal of regular troops from. the Ruhr valley and for ac- ton in other matters involved in the situation which has resulted in a French advance east of the Rhine.
 It is freely admitted this action came as surprise as the coalition government did not expect an attack from Carl R. Legien, president of the German Federation of Trade Unions, and other leaders who sign ed the demands. It had been act ing in the belief it had the support of all parties, in view of the serious situation confronting the country.
 In official quarters regret is ex- pressed that the laborite demands amount to moral support of Premier Millerand of France and it is declar- ed they are not feasible as the gov ernment is putting fort hits utmost efforts to restore quiet in the Ruhr region. Liberal newspapers out spokenly condemn the maneuver, for which they hold Herr Legien re- sponsible.

PEACE RE:S0IU UTI0N
 PASSES HALF WAY
 MARK IN TIE: HOUSE:
Stormy Debate Touches Only Lightly on International
 Relations
ALIGNMENT IS ON
 PARTISAN BASIS
Final Vote Will be Reached Today Many COngressmen Speak at Stormy G-Hour Session
 on Proposal

Washington, April 8.-The peac,
 resolution had passed the half wa,
 mark on it's way through the hous,
 when echoes of the storm of ora atory and debate it provoked, died away to
 night For six hours it was the cen
 ter of discussion on the floor, yet nI
 one questioned that it would b.
 adopted. The final vote will come
 late tomorrow.
 There was a vote today on adop tlon of the special rule limiting de
 bate and preventing amendment O. the resolution as drawn by the com mittee on foreign affairs. The rule was carried 214 to 155, seven demo crats joining the republicans in it> support and one republican opposing it, That was taken to indicate ac- tion on the resolution itself, but re- publican leaders said more demo crats would join them on the final vote. One of the democrats, Repres- entative Huddleston of Alabama who voted against the rule amour ced that he would support the reso- luton.
 Charges of partisanship ran thru democratic comment on the resolu- tion. Representative Huddleston noted these, but insisted that con science would not let him "trot along" with the party majority and oppose the peace proposal whatever company" his decision forced him to keep.
 Question Legal Right.
 The November elections figured almost as prominently in the debate as did the international situation, war time legislation or even Pres ident Wilson hard treaty fight. A statement by Representative Pou, democratic North Carolina, that the president had been without personal ambition in his actions brought a roar of laughter from the republi- gan side. It was echoed from the democratic side moment later, when to support charges of partisan purpose, Representative Montague, democrat of Virginia, asked Chair man Campbell of the rules commit zee why peace with Austro-Hun- gary also had not been proposed.
 On the technical side of the dis the democrats repeatedly the constitutional right of congress to pass such legislation insisting it was contemplated in- gasion of the treaty making powers conferred on the executive branch md the senate. Historical and legal ,recedents were marshalled to sup ,ort that view and the writings of on international law quoted at length. The republicans quoted other authorities and pre- .edents and maintained that all that vas sought was to end legally al var that had in fact ended long ago. The treaty making power were not lffected, they insisted, and a formal reaty with Germany could be drawn md ratified as provided by the con- titution.

GOPHER MEN'S WIVES"
 AT EMPRESS TONIGHT

Dorothy Dalton is featured tonight in "Other Mems Wives" an interest ing story of present day social life, revolving around society girl, brought up in luxury, whose father has died leaving her penni1ess. The effort she makes to retain her stand ing in the so-ca1led elite circle, which is the only life she knows, is both interesting and pitiful. Miss Dalton handles the many complex situations in a manner which proc1aims her a genuine artist.
 How she solves her own problem, and incidentally cuts the tangled threads of other lives, is the basis of plot that is both strong and dram. atic. The settings are lavish, and the supporting cast all that could be de- sired.

W0MEN'S BRAINS, NOT
 SEX, IS WHAT COUNTS

Mrs. John Weir Troy of Juneau one of the great personalities whose influence was felt during the Demo cratic national convention reminded women in speech she made at the writers tea in the Fairmont recent ly that sex should not claim prece dence over efficiency, says the San Francisco Examiner
 Mrs. Troy said in part:
 This new sphere in which women are entertaining is not an alliance; it is not truce.
 "It is women just getting into the game.
 "They must not be disappointed if many women do not hold public of- fices within the next few years.
 "We are only beginning and the majority of us have not yet fully mastered economics and government problems.
 "Women must go into this game with the utter forgetfulness of sex not with the recognition of sex.
 "Women should not be discrimin- ated against because they are wom- en; neither should they expect re- wards because they are women.
 "It is efficiency that should deter mine the qualifications of a woman as we'll as a man.
 "It is brains and character, not sex, that count"

0LD-TIMER IS
 HERE ON TOUR
 OF CONTINENT

John Randolph Watson, of Camden, N. J., aged 84 years and a former resident of Dawson, arrived in Cor dova yesterday from Fairbanks hay ing made the trip for. the govern ment, which he says he thoroughly enjoyed.
 In addition to being a man of ad- vanced years, Mr. Watson has passed through an ordeal that reads like fic- tion When quite a young man his face was terribly burned, resulting in the loss of his eyelids, and for nearly fifty years he was unable to close his eyes. Considerable new flesh was grafted on his forehead after the accident but it was many years before he was successful in finding a specialist who would under take the task of making new eyelids for him. And when he finally did undergo the operation, his eyes were | closed for two years-for so long a time in fact that 1t was necessary for him to learn to see again. But ill spite of his years and long period of suffering, the oldtimer is hale and hearty and in full possession of his mental faculties He likes the =Northland for old times sake and pre- diets that the day is not far removed when both the Yukon and Alaska will enter upon an era of permanent pros perity.
 The following statement was given to the Daily Times by MT. Watson
 q first came North in '97 and, after crossing Ghilcoot pass, descended the Yukon waters from Lake Linderman in a small boat which I built myself. Three other times I came down the river in the same way, and this is my seventh trip North When I first ar. rived in Dawson I engaged in the mer- chandising business, locating first on Second avenue and later and Fifth and King streets.
 'I was in Montana in the early days 1 helping to found the city of Helena and have a pin of the Order of Mon tana Pioneers. Only few now wear that pin as one was required to have been in Montana prior to 1864 to qualify for the order.
 q am now touring the continent and am swinging this season around circle of 13,000 miles covering most of the big cities and many of the out lying district posts south and north. My home is at 300 Copper street Camden, New Jersey.
 "I was born at Standish Corner Maine, 1886 While living in Iowa some years later I nearly lost my life in a fire, and was so severely burned about the head that I lost my eyelids and suffered severe injuries : I found no one able to repair my eyes and during all that time my hours ot rest were spent with my eyes wide open. Finally I found Dr. Charles Thomas, a noted specialist of Phil adelphia who removed flesh from my legs and grafted it in such a way that it formed perfect lids over my eyes. After the new growth was com plete, he slit lids in the usual place and now my eyelids are such that close my eyes at will and my eye sight is restored so that with the aid of glasses I see we'll and am able tC read as we'll as any other person using l classes"

C0RD0VAPLANS CLUB HOUSE
 FOR SPORTS

|
 A great amount of enthusiasm has been aroused since 8 few live wires among the local business men got to- gether last week and proposed and talked over the prospects for an or ganization of an athletic association.
 The proposition seems to have hit the right spot at the right time.
 The membership has already reac-
 The membership is already up to the hundred point and there are many more ready to join when ap- preached by the committee who have charge of the solicitation of mem bership.
 r. The association proposes to take up all sports in general and furnish en- tertainments by promoting anything and everything in the way of sports which will insure pleasure and enter ment to it's mebers and the public at large.
 Now that the success of the asso- citation has been assured, by the ready response of the Cordova spirit, club house is being talked of and it is entirely within reason that the project may be realized within the very near future
 An institution of this character should not only have the support of entire city, but it would be of great benefit to the town in more ways than one. At the present time there is so very little in the way of diversion that directly one gets few dollars ahead they commence to plan trip outside where they may be able to dissipate a little of the accumu- lated and superflous energy. If something in the way of amusement were available along these lines the younger set would be more satisfied and Cordova would prove more inter- esting to those who travel through on their trips to and from interior points.
 This matter should be given every support possible by the business men and a meeting will be called again in few days and we desire that you all be present even though you have 4Lo
 The following members have been appointed as committee to inves- tigate everything connected with the procuring of the location, erection and maintainence of club house as home for the association and make a report of their findings and recon mendations at the next meeing: H. I. O'Neill, J. L. Galen and Geo. Dooley.
 Now let us all get busy and put Cordova on the map to stay. Think what an institution of this kind means. Everybody loves sport and and Cordova is blessed with a gener ous supply of real sports.
 There will be base ball, basket ball, ski running, tennis, boxing, wrestling, ten pins, indoor sports of all descriptions to choose from and once it is underway there will be no lack of sources of revenue to maintain it. If you have not already done so, it is up to you now to come forward and place your name on the charter list for membership.

BONUS ON GOLD
 ADVOCATED BY
 RICHARDSON

A profit-sharing bonus for miners of low grade ore
 A substantial compensation for til- 1ers of Alaskan soil.
 The establishment of a network of roads throughout the territory.
 In these proposals Colonel Richard son sees the solution of Alaska's economic problems and the develop ment of the territory by normal growth The officer, veteran of Se- berian service and former resident of Alaska for 20 years returned from the westward on this morning boat to meet Major General Liggett, who will arrive in Cordova Friday from Chitina, having made the trip out from Fairbanks over the govern ment trail.
 HIGHWAYS WILL HELP
 Alaska is now recovering from a setback brought on by war;" said Colonel Richardson. And with the completion of proposed roads and normal and healthy settlement of the country, it will soon take it's place anong the front rank of American Possessions. The Alaskan expressed himself against any proposal for wholesale importation of settlers to the territory. Alaska must be peo- pied by homefinders who come here after sober thought with intent to do their part in the development of resources and for the purpose of building homes," he said.
 Compensation for farmers in AL hopes to see materialize "The devel- opment of Alaskan soil will demand hard work and determination" de- clared the officer, land those who en- ter that field should be rewarded by something more substantial than a mere loan, such as is provided for in 
 BONUS PROPOSAL
 "A profit-sharing bonus low-grade ore is another proposition which hope to see favorable action on. Divi- dends derived will give great stimu Jus to low-grade gold production in Alaska
 Colonel Richardson emphasized the need of roads. He intimated that the construction of additional highways through the North would be one of the results of the inspection tour of -1Major Ligget and his party.
 The soldier entered 8 plea for rol- eration of capital which brings about deveie pment. Some legitimate profit is bound to result :1 all work in new country" he said. land capital is essential"
 Colonel Richardson is optimistic as to the future of Alaska Stability in enterprise, he said, will insure suc- cess. And at this point the visitor recalled a conversation he once had with Theodore Roosevelt who, he said, declared that what Alaska needed was stability and continuous enterprise, in addition to rushes and sectional booms.
 FDevelopment of the territory" concluded Colonel Richardson, twas halted after the rush of 1897 by the Spanish-American war. Then it was further delayed by the Nevada rush, which attracted the miners who would have made Alaska their home" And the last setback, he said, was caused by the recent world war But now, according to the colonel, the territory is we'll on the road to stab ility and economic development.
 Colonel Richardson is making his first visit to Alaska since he left to assume a military command in 1917.
