The coal of the Nenana field is lig-
mite OF fair grade. While it is not
suitable for export. it will furnish a
valuable and much needed fuel in por-
tons OF interior Alaska that are now
dependent on scanty and expensive
supply of wood.
The uses of Nenana coal probably
will be as locomtive fuel on the gov
eminent railroad, for power and thaw-
ing at the mines in the Tanana valley
as domestic fuel in the Tanana valley
and as river boat fuel on Tanana river
boats. and possibly on some of the Yu-
kon river steamers.
The Nenana coal field has been sur

Act of October 20, 1914, and regula-

comprises approximately 10000 acres
Of land divided into twenty-three units
ranging from $50 to 1864 acres each
A lease under the law cannot exceed
1850 acres and may include one or

FRESH CLUE HAD
OLD GOLD ROBBERY

a new chapter is W ritten in the Kin
caid gold robbery at Dawson after the
,apse of eleven years says the Dawson
News Phil Kelly day before yester-
day found portion Of mail pouch
III he grounds at Government House.
The pouch bears marks plainly iden-
Lifying it as one Of the sucks used by
the y. S. government for The carrying
of registered mail. 1t had been cut
in two and the portion to which the
lock is attached is severed entirely
from the other part. The lCck is I'M
opened. 1t is the style OF lock which
automatically registers new number
every time il is opened An empty
buckskin poke also was found by Mr.
Kelly.
This sack no doubt is one of the
several which We're stolen from the
mails at the time George kincaid, the
then government carpenter at this
place, got away with tens of thous-
anGs of dollars in gold dust. Kincaid
IS carpenter, had access TO the Daw-
son postoffice at various hours, and
during shifts when no one else was
mere and in the days when gold dust
vas left about in sacks where it could
be reached easy. he took several of the
sacks. The gold was from Fairbanks
end was enrouto during the season Of
navigation to Seattle. For a long
time after the mail was stolen there
was no clue to it. The Royal North
vest Mounted Police and special de-
jectives worked on the case a long
tine and finally fastened the suspicion
on kincaid. Just about that time Kin
said took a steamer at Dawson for
Whitehorse. He was Swallowed by a
sleuth, and was between here and
Whitehorse when he was put under
arrest He was scarcely in custody
ny taking poison His remains were
brought back to Dawson and buried
there. The most OF the gold never
was recovered. The sum total stolen
is said to have been about $4,000. A
long time after the crime was COM
mitted many OF the small empty pack

shipping and some of the empty sacks
were found under the public school

had recovered from a gas attack and

ed July 18. He longs to go back into
action. Describing the Huns fighting
ability Lieutenant Stephens says:
"What a treacherous, cowardly lot
they are. he said. They'll blaze
away with their machine guns and do
their best to kill all the Americans
on earth, but when we get to within
hundred or two yards of them, out
they come with absolutely no weapons

WHY THE KAISER
ASKED FOR PEACE
WILEY BUTCHER PLANNED TO
STOP LIBERTY LOAN AND
TROOP SHIPMENTS

1t is by this time fairly obvious tt
the most superficial students of the
war just why Germany let loose its
extremely shrill and entirely insin,
cere plea for an armistice.
Hindenburg and Ludendorff, unable
to find new soldiers sufficient to fill
bites all along their front, faced the
necessity of shortening that line.
Two years ago, Hindenburg was
able to withdraw to the "Hindenburg
line" before the allies discovered what
he was doing. The movement was
therefore free from pressure and cost
the Germans practically nothing in
men or material.
This year, however, with allied in
fantry, artillery and tanks right upon
his heels along every inch of the line,
the German has been forced to re-
treat, not withdraw, and his retreat
has been accompanied by the loss of
thousands killed and prisoners and
millions of dollars worth of munitions
and other supplies.
On no front could he shake his
pursuers off long enough to make an
orderly withdrawal of a single unit.
Hence the peace plea on the for
lorn hope that slackening of allied
pursuit, If not an actual armistice,
would give him the few days neces-
sary to straighten out the disorgan-
lied tangle into which Foch had
thrown his armies
Fresh triumphs by the allied troops
have shown the kaiser how clearly
Marshal Foch discerned that the Ger
man peace plea was a cry for time.
But there is apparent danger that
one of the lesser objects of the re-
quest for an armistice may be sue
cessful. This was the kaiser's hope
that the imminence Of peace would
cause the American at home to lose
his enthusiasm for the support of
the American fighting men that the
man who should be buying Liberty
bonds would say:
"Oh well, peace will be declared
very soon now. Let somebody else
buy Liberty bonds"
The kaiser was too farsighted not
to know that the actual approach of
peal would have that ef,fect-Eoo
deep-dyed in treacherous propaganda
not to realize that the phantom peace
his cry raised would have a similar
effect

CHICAGO PACKERS
ISSUE STATEMENT
TELL WHAT THEY ARE DOING
IN FEEDING THE AMERICAN
AND ALLIED ARMIES

CHICAGO. - American packers ar
doing far more than merely furnishin,
neat foods to the soldiers and sailors o
the United States and her allies, accord
ing to c. S. Churchill, advisory superin
tendent for Swift & Company, who ad
dressed the American Meat Packers
convention today.
The general public realizes little O.
the work that the packer is doing tc
win the war;" said Mr.. Churchill. "We
are furnishing a great deal of material
] for the Manufacture of munitions, in
Guiding glycerine, potash, and sulphuric
acid Our sheep skins are used to manu-
facture cold-proof coats.
Every pound of wool that we have
is taken by the government as fast as
we produce it, and the price is fixed by
the government.
There isn't pound of stock food
manufactured today that is not being
used to help win the war, because it
goes to put weight on live stock that is
badly needed by our soldiers and
sailors.
THE tons of fertilizer which we
manufacture aid in growing more crops
that will be used later to feed more SOL
diers to fight the Hun. Glue has its
uses. Soap certainly is big item
Albumen is another highly important
products it is now used in the construc
ton of airplanes.
"There are also many other products,
too numerous to mention, not one OF
which, | believe, does not have an inn
portant place in the conduct of the war.
'sWe, of Swift & Company, believe in
giving credit where credit is due, and |
want to say that our labor has per-
formed cheerfully the giant tasks set for
us BY the food administration. No order
has been too big, no job too overwhelm-
ing for them
Recognition of this willingness to
serve has resulted in an increase for
male labor tota1ing more than 100 per
cent since February, 1916. In the case of
our female help the increase has been
even greater, this help now receiving
los per cent more than in 1916
To take care of the war business Mr..
Churchill said that all the packers in
the country had been forced to build
new freezers and buildings of every. de-
scription at a cost two to three times
greater than pre-war cost.
He paid tribute to the government III
spectors of the bureau of animal indus
try and of the army who select the meat,
and said.
"In addition to the safeguard that
this is to the soldier and sailor, it is
4 safeguard to us. 1t safeguards us from
attack from those who for their own
personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT or for other
reasons NAV seek to criticize unjustly
one Of the few industries that in the
sarly days of the war, and up to the
present time, has continued to supply
,ur government with what it wanted. as
t wanted it, when it was needed, with
,ut bubble as to price.
"That is a record of which we should
,e proud, gentlemen. 1t demonstrates
hat we are doing mot our bit, but our
I'LL share toward winning the war, doing
t cheerfully, willingly and because we
re in this war to win; and to win, our
oldiers must be fed ands fed with good
ood."
