WILL FIGHT FOREVER.
is McADOO'S Def
No Peace Until America Has Achieved
Victory, Secretary Of Treas
ury Declares.

Philadelphia, April Cit is idle
to talk of peace, and there will be no
peace until America has achieved
victory for the principles for which
she fights. Talk will not bring peace.
Force will bring peace, and it must
be by American force and Allied
force, destroying German force, that
will bring the only kind of peace
worth having. We shall fight until
doomsday to get that kind of peace"
Thus spoke William G.. McAdoo,
secretary Of the treasury, in a speech
to a great gathering Of people who
were opening the third Liberty Loan
drive here.
Continuing the secretary said:
Germany is the champion of lust
and dominion. She literally seeks to
enslave the world and to secure their
possession. of what belongs to them.
Germany's ideal is force; Americas
ideal is right. Between these ideals
there can be no compromise. They
are irreconcilable. America will
never stop fighting until her ideals Of

secured to the world. There have
been some discouragements In the
past year. Traitors within our gates
have precipitated strikes, spies have
done their poisonous work, hamper
ing progress. The strength and reso-
lutte hand Of America is being put
upon them and they shall not escape.
We must be remorseless with traitors
and spies.
Every man, woman and child N
America must put all they have and
all they ever hope to be in this strug-
gle. In this historic city of Philadel-
phia, where liberty and independence
first found organized articulate ex-
preston, let the word that America is
still true to the inmutable principles
of the republic, and that 1918 will find
America as resolute to make safe for
the world the priceless and deathless
blessings of liberty as in 1875 the
struggling colonies were determined to
secure those blessings for them selves ~

lively engaged just now in running
down complaints which assert that
food has been made unfit for use.

OFFICERS
 IN ENGLAND WALK

With the American Army in Eng land.-American officers stationed temporarily in England must make most of their sightseeing trips be- yond the lines of their camps on foot
 The temptation of officers and men 10 visit historic and interesting places near the camps is great, but the scarcity of motor equipment and the restrictions regarding railway travel make short jaunts impossible. American soldiers of the provost guard are at every railway station where there is a camp, with instruc- tions to ask every soldier whether he be commissioned or not, if he has the necessary permission to travel.

ELLEN REACHES COAST TOWN BY
 1HE PASS TRAIL

ANCHORAGE-Seventeen days were required to travel by trail, river and railroad from Nenana to Anchorage, distance Of about 296 miles. The trip Was made by Henry Ehlen, formerly in charge of the docks and warehouses of the government railroaI at Nenana; NJ. Hyland, a government railroad train conductor, ahd c. J. Ensley. r,oa- pector from the Tolovana district.
 From Nenana to Indian river, a distance of 130 miles, the travellers took the summer trail At Indian river, they built a raft and on it floated down the Susitna river to Montana, distance of seventy miles. At Montana, which is the northern end of steel in the Anchorage divi- sion, they boarded government railroad train and came to Anchor age, distance of ninety-six miles.
 MT. Ehlen says that the summer trail between Nenana and Indian river is, fairly good but that it needs blazing in places. With com paratively little expenditure, he de- clares, it could be put in excellent condition. All the winter trail road houses were closed. The party saw no persons after leaving Lignite creek, which is only a short dis tance from Nenana, until Indian river was reached. The travellers were fortunate in finding the water low in all streams and experienced no difficulty in crossing them.

TOLOVANA NOTES
s ssHsssssssss1sss s

According to a recent arrival from Fairbanks who had been in the Tolovana country for the past year and a half, the district is quiet and there is not much activity in the mining industry. The draft has hit the district hard and this, coupled with the many voluntary enlist ments and those going Outside as usual, has left the district almost entirely depleted of it's population It is estimated that there are about 150 to 200 people in the district now, many of whom are figuring on going Outside this fall.
 The outlook for the mining out put, however, seems to be bright and it is expected that the output of the camp for this season will equal that of last season and per haps exceed it a little.
 On Amy creek Kelly X Colbert are working about 15 men; Soini X Go. about 10 men; H. I. Miller about 10 to 12 men and another small plant working about 8 men.
 Lynch & Verdi and George Wheel CT are working or men each on Olive creek, while on Ruth, Frank Miller, formerly deputy marshal, was working small crew. There were three plants working on Lillian creek, viz Ben Falls, Dan McCarty and Joe Moran, and Johansen X Go.
 Small crews from the miners in- terested in this section of the coun- try were putting in ditch to tap Livengood near above.
 There has been a shortage of water in the district which held back mining activities to a considerable extent and retarded the cleanup of several dumps.
 ! On the Lovelace claim on Liven- good, Ernest Peterson was working quite large crew of men and was reported to be doing we'll. Craig & Fontas, working two lays on the same claim, had a crew of about seventy men working for them. These men and Ernest Peter son had the largest outfits working in the district.
 "Alabam" Leboyteau, working a claim toward the head of Livengood, dld not do as we'll as he expected to during the opening months of the season, but is reported to have struck fairly good pay last month.
 Jack Nelson on Amy creek, is open cutting with a small crew. He is said to have pretty good pay.
 Several other small outfits are operating on Livengood and taking out some pay.
 There is some desultory prospect ing goin on in the district but ow- ing to the cost of materials and pro- visions, nothing on a big scale is being done.
 The roadhouse at Tolovana Crossing, about thirteen miles from 6rooks' which was run by Miss Swanson, was sold recently to Char ley Wubberhorst, the former part ner of Jack Singleton, of the Lignite roadhouse.
