NENANA IS BUSY
 BUSTL|NC TOWN

Nenana is live, hustling town. ac- cording to George A. Coleman, gener- al manager of the local branch of the Northern Commercial company, who recently returned from a business trip to the railroad town. He looks for it to be very busy town next year, when the Alaskan Engineering com mission begins its actual construction. This year seems more in the nature of a preparation. However, there was much construction going on in that town, and there seemed to be work for everyone.
 The shortage of lumber has handi- capped them somewhat and they have had to use some old lumber shipped from Fairbanks and Cinema. Many buildings are in the course of con struction.
 The electrical plant is not yet in operation, and MT. Coleman thinks it will be the first of November before it is started The plant is a good one. however. and ought to give satisfac tion.

UNITED STATES MAY STILL JET
 INTO TROUBLE
Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 12- Fears are being expressed in official circles here that the German subna rine situation, as concerns the Al lantic coast of this country, may yet have to be handled by the state de partment. For, owing to the fact that neutral and allied steamships are all afraid to leave port, the prolonged pa ralysis of American trade is threat ened.
 It is pointed out that such Situa- tion might lead tO a lengthy dlplo matic debate, with the broad issues which might arise at stake. The thor ough investigation of the submarine operations off Nantucket has eased the minds of the officials of the state department regarding the legality or the raid from war standpoint, but it is authoritatively stated that the raid situation may become such as will cause the country commercial dis tress, in which event something will have to be done

 RAILROAD TOWN

Bringing Fritz Berger, sentenced by Commissioner Robert E. Burns, of Ne mana, to serve six months in the fed eral jail here and to pay a fine of $100, Deputy Marshal Jim Hagen arrived in town yesterday And he will probably start on his return trip to Nenana this morning, in order that he may be there for other matters which await his attention
 The crime of which Berger, the pris- oner, was convicted, was the larceny of a box of tools from Ross Patten. He was given two trials, the jury hay ing disagreed the first time. Berger it seems, accused two other men of committing the crime, thereby caus ing their arrest and great deal of trouble to the officials

It is stated. how ever, that he served three long terms in prison in Dawson; once for house breaking; a second time for shooting with intent to kill, and a third term for larceny.

THIS YEARS
 FREIGHT Is
 IN FAIRBANKS

That all the freight which left Seat tie by September 15 is now in Fair banks is an announcement coming from James Fairborn, local agent for the AmericanYukon Navigation com pany. The freight that left Seattle after that date was shipped at the risk of the shipper and the local off cials Of he A-Y. N Co. are not sure that all of it will get here.
 However. all the freight that was on the coast has been shipped, wheth CT it was billed or not, so that it could be rushed through before the close of navigation There are many matters now for the officials of the company to adjust, due to this mixup. There are some goods that are here for which no billing has yet turned up, while some bills are here for which no goods have been received.
 The steamer Reliance is still at Ne mana, and the officials of the company are not able to say when she will be back again. She is being used there to put away and unload barges.
 The Panama. which arrived yester- day from Nenana, will be used for time in towing barges to the ship yards and will then go into winter quarters.

 Mir Sommers reiterated his state ment that the bridge will not be low cred, when he was questioned about it last evening.

stored to France as the result of
French military successes, the Asso-
ciated Press finds. So soon as the
blue clad soldiers occupied the viii
lagos and towns German signs were
torn down from the fronts Of the
stores and replaced by French. Fin
gerposts along the roads were altered
and directions at grade crossings over
the railroad tracks were changed.
Restaurant bills Of fare were written
in French instead Of German. The
titles of public Offices were painted
over and new designation put in their
place. Prices also were transformed
into francs and centimes from marks
and Pfennigs.
Most of the municipal officials under
German rule were of Prussian origin
and fed with the German troops.
The other male nhabitants-most Of
them very old or very young, as all
those Of military age had been either
taken into the German army or had
fed to France--had never had ex-
perience Of local government and were
incapable of undertaking the public
utilities or caring for the health or
