SCHIFF THINKS AMERICA
NOT FAIR TO GERMANY
NEW YORK.—Jacob H. Scliitf, in
an address at a New York Peace So
ciety luncheon, said he believed the
war will last until next fall. He sized
up the foreign situation thus:
"I do not think we need look for
peace until the coming autumn. My
reason for this is that England, who
is just now moving her new army
into the field, will want to try con
clusions with Germany. Until this is
done there will be no disposition to
consider terms of settlement.
“If the Allies win in forcing Ger
many back where her interests dic
tate the wisdom of suspending the
struggle, then Germany may be dis
posed to seek peace. I do not believe
that the Allies can crush Germany,
and I doubt their ability to dislodge
her from the position she now holds.
“If Germany succeeds in holding
her own, as I think she can, then
the conflict will stand as a draw.
That situation will create an oppor
tunity for the neutral nations to de
mand that the contest come to an
end, because of the injury which it
brings to the neutral nations. The
neutral nations will not be willing to
go into another winter with such in
definite results.
"I feel that Germany could not ac
cept the United States as an inter
mediary in the settlement of the
terms of peace, for while this govern
ment has maintained an attitude of
strict neutrality, I think that Ger
many has reasons to feel that the
people of this country and the press
have not been fair in their attitude
toward it.”
Court Notes.

Chas. Nevelius, a suit to foreclose a
mortgage, the court decided in favor
of the plaintiff.
In the case of C. A. Ramsay et al.
vs. F- L. Wagner et al., the court
overruled the demurrer.
Saloons in Valdez, Cordova and
Seward are ordered closed from mid

BUYS STOCK
Will Grow Garden Truck for Railroad
Employes and Expects To Make
Success.
Gust Haller, a homesteader in the
Susitna valley about twenty miles
from Knik, was a passenger on the
Alameda yesterday returning from a
trip to the states, where he purchas
ed horses, cattle and implements for
his ranch. He stated that he has five
acres under cultivation and that the
soil was the finest he had ever seen
and would produce anything.
Haller has arranged that his wife
should come north about May 1, when
the stock will also be shipped to Knik
from Seattle. He believes the rail
road construction woi'X will provide a
market for all the garden truck he
can grow and will help to tide over
the ranchers in the Susitna until they
are on a self-supporting basis.
ALAMEDA DUE
ATJ1NIGHT
The steamer Alameda will return to
Valdez from the westward about mid
night tonight. She will carry a num
ber of passengers for the states this
trip.
IS SURE SIGN
SPK IS HERE
George C. Wilson, a printer, who
has spent many years In Alaska and
one of the pioneer miners of this dis
trict, arrived on the Alameda yester
day after having spent the winter in
Seattle. He has visited nearly every
placer camp in Alaska where others
have found gold and has been ener
getic In exploring new fields In the
hope of making a discovery worth
while for himself.
For years Mr. Wilson was connect
ed with the staffs of some Fairbanks
paper during the winter, but when the
sun began to have an effect on the
snow in the spring he would grow
restless and would soon roll his blank
ets and take to the hills. The print
ers in the Fairbanks camp date the
beginning of spring from the time of
Wilson’s departure for the hills.

ANXIOUS TO BE
IN VALDEZ AGAIN
Father Van der Pol Is Recovering His
and Ready To Start North
Again.
Under date of March 1 Rev. Fath
er Van der Pol writes that he has
regained his strength and done away
with the complication of ailments
which for a while had undermined his
health. There remains but a little
weakness in the leg from its varicose
condition which does not give him
much trouble. The veins do not show
enough to be operated on and if told
by his superior he could start back
for Alaska tomorrow. In spite of
a longing desire to do so be has to wait,
for the return of his Superior Provin
cial who went to Rome with two
delegates of the California province to
take part in the election of the gener
al of the Jesuit Order. The election
took place in Rome on Feb. 11 with
the result that Father Vladimir Ledo
chowski is now the head of the So
ciety of Jesus.
It may be well to remark that th?
conclave which elects the Jesuit Su
perior General is composed of the five
assistants of the late General, all the
provincials of the order and two dele
gates from each province, bringing
the number of the electing body to
about ninety. This body is called the
"general congregation” or chapter of
the order, and in it resides the su
preme and exclusive legislative power
of the society. As these general chap
ters are not very frequent there is
usually a great deal of business of
vital importance to be attended to by
them. This accounts for the delay
of the participants in returning to
their provinces, and in the present In
stance explains the waiting of Father
Van der Pol.
