Grigg Says Kantishna Is Well Supplied With
 Meat On HOOf

w. II. Grigg, townste clerk, returned to Nenana on Tuesday from several weeks outing in the Kantishna, and re. ports most enjoyable vacation, consid- er1rg the weather conditions. Extreme cold weather prevailed the greater part of the time, and OH some of the creeks ill the kantishna the wind added greatly to the difficulty of mushing. Particular lv bad weather was encountered on the TokIat.
 Mir. Grigg says, however, that the greater part of his stay ill the hills was spent outdoors, in consequence of which he returned to Nenana greatly improved in health and with an appetite which threatens bankruptcy.
 There is an abundance of game i'll the KantIshna, reports MT. Grigg. Sheep, moose and caribou were encountered daily and some ptarmigan were seen, al- though not in plentiful numbers. He also saw few rabbits and the tracks of many foxes, which appeared to be num- erous.
 Mining is at standstlll ill the Kan- tishna, practically everyone in the dis trict having ground that is more easily handled ill summer. Little Moose, the scene of the recent stampede, was not visited,
 The work of cutting road through tc Glacier, which is being done under the direction of Tom Lloyd, is progressing steadily. Four men, for the most part oldtimers in the district, are doing the work, and two others were recently St Tt to Glacier to cruise the route from that end. About five miles of road had been cut when Mir. Grigg left the district.

Diplomatic relations with Gbrnlany were severed this morning at II o'clock, when Count von Bernstorff, American ambassador to the United States, was handed his passports, and cable sent to Ambassador Gerard, ordering him to close his offices at Berlin and leave Ger many immediately. Gerard's lnstruc- tions are to close his embassy, as we'll as all consulates ill Germany, and all at tacLes of the embassy, consuls and con- sular agents and their staffs are to be re- moved from Germany. This action makes the severence of citations more complete than is usnal in such cases, and ii the two nations do not declare war it will be the hrst tune in history that two first class powers recalled the1r diplomats without localities following.
 The United States has also demanded of Germany the release of all Americans who were taken prisoner on prize ships in the South Atlantic by German raiders.
 The break in diplomatic relations was decided upon by President Wilson after an all-night cabinet session and confer ences with numerous members of con- gress. Confident that the sentiment of free sountry is behind him, and assur- ed of the united support of congress, the president reached the conclusion tfat there was only one course for the United States to pursue. In taking the nomen- tous step the president counted the con- sequences carefully, as also have his ad- yisors.
 The president addressed joint session of congress th1s afternoon. and at the if overt acts on the part of Germany against American citizens should force his coming, he would again appear hefore congress to ask authority to use any means necessary to protect the lives of American seamen. He expressed the be- lief that all neutral countries would pur- sue the same course. "We seek merely to stand true, alike in thought and action, to the immunity of our people; we seek merely to vindicate the right to liberty and justice and unmolested l1fe.. These are the basic principles of peace, not war, God grant that we may not be challenged by acts Of willful injustice on the part of the German government" Those were

majority of the senators favored an iul- mediate break. Senator Fletcher sad that many ot the lawmakers were oppos- ed to further correspondence with the German government. He also said that many favored an immediate break, but that it would not be correct to say that a majority favored It. Senators Stone and Lewis expressed the belief that an imme- diate break was not justified. President Wilson suggested to the members that ] there be nights reflection before any action.

PLANS DISCUSSED
Commercial Club Meets Again To Talk Over
 Needs Of Town

There was further discussion of plans for the establishment of sewage and water sys- tems for the town of Nenana at the meet ing of the Commercial club, which was held at the office of United States Com- missioner Robert E Burns last Sunday afternoon. The discussion was largely informal, however, and no action was taken, the matter having been deferred until more data IS available for presenta- tion to the club. Commissioner Thos. Riggs, IT,, was present at the meeting and took all active part i'll the discus sionS.
 Townsite Manager Ryus informed the members that an assessment would be levied against the property owners in the near future to meet the obligations which have been incurred by the townsite. The date cannot be stated definitely, but 1t probably will be March 1. It is probable that the town will be divided into three assessment zones, the more valuable business lots being assessed more than those in the residence zones or outlying districts. The ratio of assessment prob ably will be 4-2-1-that is, the busi- ness lots will be taxed four times as much as the cheapest lots and twice as much as tho medium priced residence lots. Thesmaximum assessment at this time probably will not exceed S1O per lot. Further assessments are to be levied from time to time, perhaps quarterly, to cover the cost of townsite improvements which are planned-pernlanent improve ments for the most part.
 Secretary Burns reported that he had sent wire. at the request of several members of the club, to Supt. R. J. Sonl- mers, of the Alaskan Road commission, relative to the apportionnient of sufficient funds to cut road from Knights road house to Nenana. connecting at the for mer place with the road which is now be,ng cut by the Lloyd party. The reply received, however, held out little encour- agement that such an apportionment would be made, Mir. Sommers explaining that the present roal, which joins the right of way at the Thirty-niile house, IS considered better feeder for the rail- road. He also expressed the belief that the Thirty mile route would prove as ben efcial to Nenana as the proposed more direct route across from Knights.
 Secretary Burns also reported that he had informed all stage men of the decis- ion of the club relative to the carrying of mail, and it is expected Tn the future the service will be greatly improved.
 The next meeting of the club will be held a week from tomorrow.
