DEINERT LOST
 LITTLE TIME

Wiring to Frank Hall from Fort Gibbon, Charlie Deinert advises that he joined the 14th infantry at that place shortly after his arrival there on the steamer Panama. He left Fairbanks with the intention of go- ing Outside and spending a brief time with his parents before joining the service. It is presumed that the call became too insistent and he at once entered the service.
 Deinert is well known in Fair banks, being for time associated with MT. Hall in business, and later went to the Tolovana country to em- bark in business for himself, dis posing of his interests for the pur- pose of enlisting. He has numerous friends who are glad that he added his name to those already listed from Fairbanks.

OPERATION ON
 ARM REQUIRED

From Nenana it has been learned that it was necessary for an opera tion to be performed on the broken arm sustained by Mrs. Fred flag gren while in the Iditarod An X-ray was taken of the fracture and it was shown that the bones had started to knit very irregularly, embracing some of the tendons and nerves in the process. paralyzing the arm to a marked degree.
 It was necessary to break the arm again, scrape the bones and reset them in order that a perfect knit would be effected. Mrs. flag gren passed through the trying or deal without i'll effect and at the last report was resting as easily as could be expected. In the opini- on of the attending physician the full use of the member will result and rapid recovery may be looked for.

THE OVERTHROW OF BOLSHEYIKI
 WAS FORETOLD

LONDON, July 21.-Conviction that the Bolsheviki government of Rus sia would inevitably be overthrown and that a new Russian government would, first of all, take steps to pay Russia's foreign debt, was expressed by Dr. David Soskice at recent meeting of the holders of Russian bonds here. Dr. Soskice is conf. dential secretary to former Premier Kerensky of Russia.
 He declared that it would require an immense amount of capital to re- construct the great industrial and agricultural fabric of Russia. Russia; he said, can only find that capital in England and America.
 c. Birch Crisp, banker said he believed the majority of the people of Russia would embrace the first opportunity to set themselves right with the rest of the civilized world.
 hC CHoii LQu ol tllC lltCtlllS Sdlu it was almost impossible to ascer- tain the amount of Russias debt. According to information received by the London stock exchange, it amounted, on January l, 1917, to about 93,35S,OOO, 1000. Of this, he said the direct loans made by the state probably would amount to $ l. ,100,O00,000 In addition there were twelve municipal loans issued by nine principal Russian cities to the amount of 920,OOO,OOO It was not clear whether these figures in cluded the war advances made to Russia by the allied nations. These were unofficially stated to aggregate from e4O0,0OO,OO0 to 9S0O,OOO, ,OOO.

INFRINGEMENT
 IS SUGGESTED
 BY THE MAYOR

Shortly before the adjournment oi the council meeting Tuesday night Mayor Suter brought the matter ol retrenchment to the attention of the councilmen present stating that the time for retrenchment was at hand and that it was up to all to devise or suggest means whereby the city could reduce expenses. On these lines he requested every councilman to figure out some method that would lead to curtailment of expenditures
 Much work is yet to be done by the city in improvements, chief ol which is the reairing of the water front, and that item alone will ne cessitate the outlay of considerable money. Although the city is in a better financial condition at the pres ent time than for the corresponding period last year, the problem is pre- sented of making provision for the future
 The proposition of repairing the waterfront has the approval of 25 of the heaviest tax payers in the city, all being unanimous in the opinion that no better improvement could be made.
 It is the intention of the mayor to start a campaign for the reduction of the expenses of the city, and in that movement he will be assisted by the council. At the next meeting each councilman will present data on the subject according to the ideas formulated and it is probable that the council as whole will meet at some future date for the special purpose of going into details for the reduction of expenses.

0CTOCENARIAN
 READY FOR WAR

Raised amid the envirOns of a bat tle-stricken country, the call of the present strife is felt by Rade Niko- vich of Fairbanks.

He entered service for his country when but 16 years of age, in 1857. Since his first entrance on the battlefield he has engaged in six wars, '57, '62, '69, '72, " and '7S.

Two sons are at the present time serving on one of the fronts.
 Although advanced in age, he is as spry on his feet as any middle. aged man and his vision is unim. paired, he being considered an ex. cellent shot with a rife. Over six feet in height, he is as erect as a soldier. with no evidence of the stoop which would be looked for in one of his age.
