WASI1INGTON, D.

 This decision relcnts some what from the decision reach ed by the United States some weeks ago to prohibit further shipments of fOodstufis to prevent reshipnents to Ger many.

RAILROAD CAR
 BADLY WRECKED


 The gasoline car of the Tanana Valley railroad was wrecked and sev enteen people near death or serious injury last night .s the result of the carelessness of a teamster in the employ of the Alaskan Engineer ing commission at Happy. The car was making it's regular evening run to Chatanika with Art Marsh at the throttle when. upon nearing Happy, the teamSter Was seen to be trying 10 flag the ear, evidently for the purpose of keeping it from run ming over telephone pole, one end of which he had placed on the track as means of helping him to load timbers on to wagon.
 There is a sharp curve in the rack at Happy, and the driver of he car did not see the predicament in which he had been placed until almost to the pole. He managed to slow down considerably, however and the car was not going more than five mncs ar hour when it struck. Manager Wade II. JCslin states that there were no serious damages other than a brokel engine ease and sprung axle. but that it will take all day today at least to plac. the conveyance in commis- sion again.
 Sixteen passengers ale reported to have been on the car Among them were Sam Weiss, Charles Watson, Guy Marks Frank Manton and Mrs Olson.

 Just beyond Piledriyer roadhouse section o1 new road is being built through timber. The old road runs along the edge of slough which frequently overflows its banks, and it is this condition that Superinten- dent Sommers is trying 10 remedy by putting the new trail on higher ground Road building in that kind of territory, however, is very diff cult for the reason that large trees and their stumps have to be re moved before machinery and other appliances can be put to work.
 One thing that the road Commls sion is cndeavoring to keep away from as far as possible is corduroy ing" the trails This method of con struction in the old days was found to be the best in soft places, but as corduroy wore out and also that it never presented a smooth surface such as is necessary for autOmobil- ing-and no one doubts that automo- piles are even now being used on the trail more extensively than are other Conveyances is now thought that it is cheaper in the long run to remove the roads 10 higher ground. even thought 1t necessitates the con structon of completely new trail in many places.

GENERAL NEWS
 OF KANTISHNA

Arriving in town yesterday from the Alaska range, where he has been prospecting for quartz for the past several months. Jimmy Haney brings the latest news from the kanushna country. Development work of all kinds there, he says, is slow, but the people who make the kantiShna ward with great interest to the bene- fits which will accrue to that section of the interior as the result Of the construction of the Alaska railroad.
 In all there are about forty-tiNe men in the kantishna country. Most of them are working in placer, but a few are developing and prospecting quartz Others, in season, are trap ping
 Jack Dalton is the only operator in that section who is mining on what could be considered good sized scale He is employing six men in shoveling in operations on Eureka creek Dalton was one of the original stakers in the Kantishna country in 1904, and so great is his belief in the camp that he still con tinues to make it his headquarters.
 On Little Moose creek good pros poets have been uncovered in placer although the prospectors have been hampered in their operations all sum mer by high water. There was a small stampede to that stream last winter and the prospects uncovered prove that it was Justified in every sense of the word In fact, MT. Haney says, the Kantishna people expect Little Moose to show a good paystreak.
 The Kantishna is badly in need 
 phone communica ton and a post of flee. But these the people of that section feel they are now in the way of getting, as the railroad, when completed. will pass within sixty miles of the camp. It is hoped that kv some manner of means a tele- phone line, connecting the camp with the railroad telephone system will be constructed, and that the road commission will see fit to construct the sixty miles of trail necessary to connect the camp with civiliza- tion The petition for a post office is soon to be circulated.

SAYS WORLD
 WILL STARVE
 IN TWO YEARS
(AsSOCiNted PreSsl

BOSTON, Aug. 24,-That two more years of war will reduce America and the en- tire world to the So ne short age of food now existing ill Germany, was the declaration made by Chairman Louis kirstein before the Convcn- ton of American scientists which assembled here today.
 "Gerlnany is urging her people to continue the war for just two years more, de- clarcd the speaker. By doing this, the kaiser and his fol lowers declare that 1t will be impossible to defeat Germany because the rest Of the world will not be willing to endure the same hardships of hunger that is now the lot of Ger many
 The chairman then present ed figures to the scientists to prove that two more years of war will reduce the entire world to the starvation point. In the meantime, Germany will exert every power oI re sis .ancc to continue the de- fense, believing that lack of food i'll other parts of the world will bring about a peace aCCcptahle 10 the kaiser.
