ANXIOUS TO GET
INTO FIGHT, SAYS
HOWARD Drummer

Confidence that the war will be
over in short time Is expressed by
Corp. Howard Drummer, in a letter to
his mother. Mrs. Joseph Drummer, Of
South Eleventh street.
The letter follows:
Arrived at last The end OF per-
feet day. and then somewhere in
Europe.
AT last. after evading submarines,
mines. storms and whales, we have
arrived safely We have anchored In
quiet little bay with towns on both
sides. wish ! could get away to-
night and go up town. but that is I'M
possible.
I'VE had quite trip. had lot Of
enjoyment watching the waves and
trying to keep my feet, and to keep
something on my stomach. / stood
the trip In fine shape. For a good
many days there was nothing to see
but water. Nothing to break the mo-
notony except an occasional flying
fish or sea gull, and they did not Gre
ate a sensation by any means. In
spite of that we enjoyed the novelty
OF the trip. Early this morning land
showed up in the east and we have
not been out of sight of land since.
From 4 o'clock on the ride has been
beautiful. The fields and the long
slopes running to the waters edge
have the appearance of an immense
crazy patch quilt. would certainly
have liked to visit some of the quaint
little villages that we could plainly
see situated in remote places along
the waters edge. We are anchored
beside the town having the appear
ance Of being quite city. This trip
has certainly ben a great experience
to me, and when / come back, via
Berlin, I will have lots to tell you.
You must not worry about me. The
time worth living is now coming for
me, and am looking forward to 1t. 1t
will a month, possibly not until
spring. until we go into action, so
don't look through the casualty list
every day expecting to see my name.
What have seen so far makes me
anxious to see more. We have a good
bit of travelling ahead of us yet, and
i expect to have an interesting time
from now on. have talked to some
British sailors and they speak very
favorably of war conditions. II you
had seen what have seen, you would
have more confidence in the war end

COAL SITUATION
 LESS ACUTE NOW

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 19.- The public was given to understand today that it is the intention of President Wilson to issue a state ment soon, explaining why it was necessary to conserve the coal supply by causing widespread suspension of industrial activity. The situation is not acute, however, as it was thought at first that it would be, owing to the number of exemptions made by Fuel Administrator Garfield. The exemptions include all ship yards, food manufacturing concerns and steel plants engaged in turning out plates for government vessels The house naval affairs committee was informed this afternoon by naval officers that the Garfield order had closed seven thousand factories en- gagged on naval contracts.

Secretary, Nenana Commercial Club.

Another matter of importance to the town which was acted upon by the club was the appointment ot a permanent ire committee, consisting o1 Woodoury Abbey, William Casey and Carl Schmidt. This committee Will cooperate with the townsite management, making suggestions from tune to time, and taking sucn other action as may be deemed nec- essary for the projection of the town.
 For the purpose of providing the town with more frequent mall ser vice, the secretary was instructed to make arrangements to have first class mail carried by auto between Fairbanks and Nenana, the club to defray the cost of the improved service.
 The question of enlarging the scope of the club so as to provide eiiS IuSIuDS1S WILL permanent quar- ters to be kept open at all times, was discussed at some length, and committee consisting of Carl Schmidt, R. G. Southworth and Woodbury Abbey was appointed to inquire into the matter.
 A letter from Delegate Sulzer was read, in which the club was advised of the establishment of a postoffce on Glacier creek, in the Kantishna, and the appointment of Mrs. Joe Van Orsdel as postmaster.
 The applications for membership of w. B. Raeburn, R. R. Douse and Harold Anderson received favorable consideration and the applicants were duly enrolled as new members.

lines. The War department has long wanted to turn them over to the postofice department; and the latter was perfectly willing to take them. But action failed in congress.
 "The trunk line will soon be the government owned telegraph line from the coast to the Interior; and after that is completed it would seem to be altogether unnecessary to main tain the present telegraph line along the Valdez trail. And here is the wagon road situation over again. All the Interior wires and wireless; up the Panama and the Yukon; and down the Yukon to St. Michael and the Seward Peninsula; these will be feeders for the telegraph line along the railroad
 Again it would appear to tend towards economy and efficiency to place them all under the manage ment of the Alaskan Engineering Commission. It should all be one system.
 And this would turn loose for direct service all the Signal Corps men of the army now stationed over Alaska, to the detriment of army organization. Moreover, the in- fantry branch of the army stationed here, is but an adjunct of the signal ! Corps, its chief function being to assist in the maintenance of the tele- graph lines, breaking up a regi- mental unit of that branch of the service.
 "The small need there may be, though I do not know that any such need exists, of the services of the infantry for police duty, could be much more satisfactorily filled, owing to its greater mobility, by a con- stabulary force immediately.
 MT. Riggs is now in Washington, and we hope that you will have the opportunity to talk these things over with him, as we'll as with MT. Edes :; in order that you may be able to present to congress some definite and immediate plan to forward as much as possible the development of this territory.
 Yours sincerely,
 H. B. JOSEPH,
 Secretary, Nenana Commercial Club.
