Count Adam Taruowski von Tarnow.
has been <iuestionable. The concur
renee of Austria in Germany’s barred

here doubtful. In the picture he is
seen leaving the state department after

APPROVE ELECTION
PRESENT COUNCIL
(Continued from Page One)
Charles R. Crawford stated that he
would serve another term if the peo
ple so desired. The present Council
had done its best to give the town
an efficient and economical adminis
tration. and if their efforts had met
the approval of the voters he was will
ing to serve once more.
E. A. Erickson had announced some
time ago that he would not be a can
didate again, as he expected to leave
town. He has, however, consented to
serve another term if the citizens de
sire it. He will not leave here before
late summer, if he does so then, and
so long as he remains here is willing
to give his services to the city.
A. J. Dimond was suggested as a
candidate to succeed C. M. Day by a
number of the citizens and by mem
bers of the council as well. It is
stated that Mr. Day will not return
to Valdez at the end of the session of
the legislature as he has something in
view at Juneau. Mr. Dimond is a man
who holds the esteem of everybody,
and will be a great acquisition to the
council.
The sentiment of a number of the
citizens of Valdez have been express
ed favorably to the present council.
Attorney John Lyons said he believ
ed the city government for the past
year had been conducted in a man
ner which had earned the approval
of all. He believed it would be a
mistake to make a change now.
H. T. Whitley also endorsed the
present council, stating that he be
lieved the town affairs had been ad
ministered in a manner satisfactory
to all, and that no better course could
be adopted than to return the old
members to office for another term.
Meyer Blum stated that he believ
ed the best interests of the town
could be served by the return of the
present Council to office for another
term. He felt confident they could
not be bettered.
J. C. Martin of the Valdez Dock
Co. was also strongly in favor of the
re-election of the present members ol
the council. He believed their ad
ministration had been a satisfactory
cue and that if the voters could unite
on this one ticket the cause of har
mony in town would be furthered.
The present council had given a good
administration and nothing could be
gained by a multiplicity of candidates
and a rabid campaign for this one or
that one.
Practically every one approached
echoed the same sentiment, that the
present Council is good enough and
their re-election would be to the best
advantage of the town.
A nominating petition is being cir
culated this afternoon and will be
presented to the City Clerk this even
ing.
For member of the School Board.
Mrs. C. A. Winans, whose term ex
pires next month, has also given her
consent to having her name placed on
the ballot. Mrs. Winans has served
during the past year, and having been
requested by a number of the patrons
of the school to run again, has agreed
to do so.

SHIPPING SITUATION IS
SERIOUS IN ENGLAND
LIVERPOOL. March 29.-The an
nual report of the Liverpool Steam-j
ship Owners Association, which in- i
eludes practically all the important i
shipowners in England emphasizes the j
seriousness of the shipping situation I
and declares equarely that all the
measures thus far taken up by the
government are insufficient. The re-,
port insists that state management ofj
shipping has failed and must tail, and ;
expresses the opinion that only the
most radical curtailment of imports j
and a similar radical limitation of
the amount of tonnage used for mili
tary purposes can save the nation
from the most serious shortage of
food and vital raw materials.
Commenting on the appointment J
of a Shipping Minister as a member j
of the Lloyd George cabinet the re-'
port says: “The association welcomes,
the appointment of a Minister charg- ■
ed with the duty of seeing that the)
mercantile marine is used to the best
advantage of the nation and it will
render every assistance in its power
to that Minister. But the problem of
providing the nation with its essen
tial supplies of food and raw mate
rials is only a part of the shipping
problem. The essential factors, the
limitation of imports, the amount of
tonnage to be devoted to purely mili
tary purposes and the labor shortage
can be dealt with by no one depart
ment. They must be faced and dead
with by the whole war cabinet.”
