Col. E. Lester
 Jones' May Be Named Governor

SEATTLE, April 11-Special dispatches to the Seattle Post-In- telligencer received today from its correspondent at Washington say that Secretary of Interior Albert Fall, upon whom President Harding depends chiefly for ad. vice in the selection of a govern or for Alaska, is much inclined to disregard the endorsements given in Alaska to George Haz- lett of Cordova and James Wick ersham, and that he will seek a candidate outside the Territory. While several are being consid- cred, it is believed that Col. E. Lester Jones, director of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, is thought to be the most acceptable available man.

Wife of Former
 Kaiser Is Dead

DOORN - Former Empress Augusta Victoria of Germany died yesterday. A year ago she was stricken with her first attack ot heart disease and since then she was near death several times.
 The former kaiser and Prince Adelbert were at the bedside when the end came. The funeral was held today with only members of the family in attendance. The body will be taken to Potsdam for burial.
 Collapse of the Central Powers and the vicissitudes of war that drove EmperorWilliam of Germany and his consort into practical exile in Holland in November 1918 was the lowering of the curtain in the life of the once beautiful empress and queen of Prussia, Augusta Victoria who, for nearly 40 years, had been the most beloved HauSftau of the German people. In the Netherlands where she and her husband resided first at Amerongen and then at Doorn. the former kaiserin's long continued illness was made more grave by her yearning 10 return to Berlin and Potsdam. On several occasions since her residence in Holland members of her family had been summoned to her bedside in an- ticipation of her death, but she rallied and survived.
 The ex-Empress' gravest cloud, next to the abdication of William II, was the traglc death of her son, Prince Joachim, who commit ted suicide by shooting himself in Berlin in 1920. She was never in- formed, 1t is said, that Joachim had taken his own life. Another de- pressing event which haunted her, was the Russian revolution and the fate that befell Emperor Nich- olas and his family with all of whom, before the war, she had been on the kindliest terms.
 Augusta Victoria was notable chiefly for her keen interest in charitable work and in the better ment of the living conditions of the German poor. It has been said ot her that she cared far more for the simple duties of home life than for royal functions.
 Born October 22, 1858, at Dolzig, Augusta Victoria was the oldest daughter of Grand Duke Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein- Sonderburg- Augustenburg and ranked as a princess of Schleswig Holstein. Her early childhood was spent at kiel. She married the then Prince William of Prussia on February 27, 1881 They had six sons and one daughter.

Would End Technical
 State of War
Says C The American People Expect Congress Unfailing- ly to Voice the Gratitude of the Republic in a Gener- ous Practical Way to the Defenders in the World War"

WASHINGTON, DC. April 12- President Warren G. Harding, in his first message to Congress, announced that he would approve "a declaratory resolution by congress. with qualifications essential to protect our rights which would end the technical state of war against the Central powers of Europe. He added, however, that "it would be idle to declare for separate treaties of peace with the Central Powers on the assumption that these would be adequate because the situation is so involved that our peace engagements cannot ig- nore the old world relationships. Nor is it desirable to do so in preserving our own rights and contracting our future relation ships."
 Although declaring unreserv- edly against the existing League of Nations, the President said
 The wiser course would seem to be to engage under the exist ing treaty, assuming of course that this can be satisfactorily ac' complished, by such explicit res ervations and notifications as will secure our absolute freedom of inadvisable commitments and safeguard all our essential in- terests. No helpful society of nations can be founded on justice and committed to peace until the covenants reestablishing peace are sealed by the nations which were at war.
 Summing up. it may be said that the principal recommenda- tions as to world relations are in effect that there can be no sepa- rate peace with Germany on the assumption alone that this would be adequate.
 Internal Affairs
 Readjustment of internal taxes and revision or repeal of those taxes which have become "unpro- ductive and are so artifcially burdensome as to defeat their own purpose" was urp ed by the president.
 Instant tariff enactment, "emer- gency in character and under stood by our people it is emer- gency only" was pointed out.
 Other recommendations made included:
 Efficient operation of rail- roads with the cost of operation reduced. Labor must join the management in understanding that the public which pays, is the public to be served. Simple jus tice is the right of all people,"
 Strengthening laws governing federal aid for good roads.
 Regarding the merchant ma rine. ''private monopoly's ten pency to prevent development and needed facilities should be prohibited.
 Government owned facilities wherever possible without undu. ly interfering with private en. terprise should be made availa. ble for general usage"
 Government regulations fol aviation and encouragement fol

 Efficient Government
 Regarding government affairs, the President recommended CO., ordination of the various agen- cies now working in the public welfare work, and said that steps should be taken to coordinate a number of existing bureaus in several of the departments.
 Steps should be taken to abol- ish lynching.
 Early consideration of the pend ing army and navy appropriations were urged. In this regard, the president said: "The government is in accord with the wish to eliminate the burdens of heavy armament but we shall not en- tirely discard our agencies for defense until there is removed the need to defend. i"
 Congress was urged to strike resolutely at expenditure' in an effort to remove the burden of war debt. He recommended the enactment of national budget system in this connection.
 There is no challenge to hon. est and lawful business success he said at one point, "but govern ment approval of untrammeled business doesn't mean toleration of restraint of trade or price fix ing by unnatural methods.
 The address of the President was nearly 5000 words in length, a large portion of which was de- voted to the League of Nations and foreign policies.
 WASHINGTON, D. C.. April 12.-Followipg the delivery of the message of President Hard ing, much doubt was expressed that the treaty of Versailles, with the League of Nations covenant excluded, can be put into such shape as to be, ratified. This opinion was expressed firmly by Senators Johnson and Borah.

BURGoMAsTER MAX TALKS

The following little address was
made by the famous Belgian patriot
Burgomaster Max of Brussels to the
Boy Scouts Of Belgium. Its message
rings as true for the Boy Scouts Of
America as for their brothers across
the sea:
I'm becoming a scout, each one Of
you has made the most important res
olution of his life: that Of seeking to
acquire those manly qualities and
moral virtues which make the good
citizen.
"lou know already that to be
81 ,ut II Is not enough to wear the
iiform. You must obey the law which
/ou have voluntarily imposed upon
yourself, whose ten points embody
your duties toward yourself and to-
ward your neighbor.
I'm subjecting yourselves to the
training which renders the body sup
pie, In exercising your will power, in
developing your powers Of observa-
ton, of decision and Of judgment, you
serve your apprenticeship to active
life. You will learn to act quickly and
well and to surmount difficulties and
obstacles.
"The habit OF discipline and the
consciousness Of fraternal solidarity
combined with exercise In the open
air, will prepare you to defend your
country, following the example Of the
heroic boy scouts who fell In the
course Of the war; The devotion that
you bring to this sacred mission will
ennoble your desire always to keep In
practice the principles of duty and of
honor.
"The scout school is a school Of
self-denial and loyalty. The good
scout ought to have the cult Of moral
beauty, the unwavering desire to be
worthy Of his own and to merit others
esteem. You will reach this goal II
your spirit Is vigilant and your effort
sustained.
"All that you accomplish Of good,
however small may be Its results, will
toward the growth Of your
soul, to make of you a man without
reproach who has no guide save honor.
Courtesy, correctness, good hulnor,
and c0rdiality, service and the con-
scientious accomplishment of your
task will strengthen your heart and
your spirit.

who strive to observe this scout law;
