MORE MEN SENT
 OUT TODAY FOR RAILROAD WORK
Foreman Lee Leaves Town With Surfacing Crew to Follow the
 Steel Gang.

More than sixty men left town on this mornings train to begin work on the right of way, south of Nenana. The majority of those Ieav- ing compose the suriacing crew, and will work from Camp 15, under Foreman Lee, immediately behind the steel crew.
 In addition to the members of this crew, several men were sent out to the Wilson camp and still others for various places along the right of way. Each day adds to the number of employees on the Commission payrolls, and within a comparatively short time, full crews will be working at all points, south and north of Nenana, where work is to be carried on this season. The funds available for use between now and the first of July make possible a considerable amount of work. The amount available after that date, will depend upon action taken by congress on the pending railroad appropriation. No uneasiness is felt on that point, however, reports re- ceived from Washington indicating that no difficulty will be experienced in securing sufficient funds to carry on the work outlined for the season in the several divisions.
 Trail conditions beyond 20-Mile have become so bad as the result of the warm weather of the past several days that it is no longer pos sible to use sleighs to advantage, and it is probable that pack horses will be used between 2O-Mile and the camps to the south to bridge the time until wagons can be used along the right of way.
 The trail is also going to pieces rapidly on the north side of the Tanana and special efforts are being made to make deliveries of supplies to Goldstream camps before traffic is made impossible by further thaw- ing.

Fairbanks Raffle Disposes of $10O Securities at Rate of a Bond
 An Hour.

The de- mand is such that it is believed the rallies can be continued at the pres ent rate until the close of the cam paign at midnight. At any rate, the reports say, buyers are standing in line, eager to take chances every time a new sale is announced.
 Only S1O0 bonds are being sold now, and they are moving equally as rapidly as the cheaper bonds which were offered when the raffle was started several days ago.

TEUTONS STARTING
 ATTACKS IN ITALY
Associated PresS)


 from learning the hugeness of sacri- fees made, as many as possible of the wounded German soldiers are being cared for in Belgium.
 Owing to the lack of accommoda- tions in Belgium, however, it has been found necessary to send thous- ands of the wounded to Germany, and the railroads are being taxed to their capacity to handle the traffic. Reports received from Amsterdam state that 265 trains, crowded with wounded soldiers, have been counted on their way through Belgium dur ing a period of three days, on April v, 10 and II. Through lack of or dinary coaches, the Namur-Liege rail- road was compelled to use open coal cars to transport the wounded.
 All Belgium hospitals are crowded to their capacity; and every available school, convent and factory in Bel gium has been transformed into a temporary hospital. And still the accommodations are not sufficient.

THE BRITISH LOSSES

WASHINGTON, D. C., May A. British military officials in this city estimate that the losses suffered by the British since the commencement of the big German offensive on March 21 will total 250,000, killed wounded and missing. This loss, al though small by comparison with the losses sustained by the Germans, has crippled the British army and if the remaing forces are compelled to bear the brunt of the new attack just starting, the situation will be- come critical unless sufficient re- serves are forthcoming to support the British lines.
 Everything now indicates that it is the intention of the Germans to continue their offensive.
The Nenana daily news., 1918-05-04

LONDON, May 4-The war office announces that the Germans have resumed their offensive on the Fland- CTS front, having launched an in- tense bombardment at an early hour this morning, the line of attack ex- tending from Looce to point south of Ypres. Great artillery activity also is reported in the region be- tween Nieppe and Meteren and there is every reason to believe that it is the intention of the German com mand to resume their infantry at tacks on a huge scale, in final effort to break through the Allied defenses in front of Ypres.

WIDOWS CLAIM DENIED.
Arbitrator Refuse indemnify 70
Death Of August Busting.


Death Of August Busino.
The claim Of Mrs. Martha Busting
for indemnity under the workmen'
compensation law for the death Of her
husband, August Busing, who was
found dead while employed In the
boiler room of the power house OF the
Iowa Railway and Light Company. was
denied by the arbitrators who heard
the evidence Thursday. The finding OF
the abritrators was based on the
decision that Busing was killed or died
while acting outside the scope OF his
employment. The question Of VINO
Busing was killed. or the cause OF his
death, was not within the province OF
the arbitrator to decide and the real
cause remains as much Of mystery
as ever.
It is recalled that Busing. who was
fireman employed to fire boilers on the
floor of the boiler room. was found on
a sort Of platform or balcony high up
on one of the walls Of the boiler room.
1t was contended for the claimant that
he was killed by an electr, shock
while closing a ventilator.
The decision of the arbitrators is
subject to review by Commissioner A..
B. Funk. but can not be appealed 10
the courts. 1t is also subject to re-
opening for additional evidence. An
application to reopen the case for this
purpose will be made for Mrs. Busting.
