 American Headquarters. - Con- crete information gathered from various reliable sources does not give any indication that there is a breakdwn of the German morale to any appreciable extent.
 / According to officers who examine the prisoners taken, only few of them say that they are glad to be captured and that they are tired of the fighting.
 The same thing is possibly true of the Allied prisoners taken by the Germans after being subjected to long bombardments.

 armies are making steady progress against increasing enemy resistance.

 gineer in charge of the Fairbanks division of the Alaskan Engineering commission accompanied by Mrs. Bronwe and Mir and Mrs w. A. Ryan, left last night for Hot Springs on the steamer Alaska The party expect to return to Nenana in about a weeks time.
 In conversation with a representa- tive of the Nenana News, shortly before sailing time, MT. Browne stated that he was making the trip to the Hot Springs for the purpose of looking over the country, get ting first hand information and gath ering data regarding the resources of the country and their possible development, with the object of ex- tending the railroad to tap the dis trict if conditions and the future development of the country wit warrant such a course.
 Mir. Browne will go thoroughly into matters pertaining to the d,s- trict that will have any bearing on any future action that nay ba taken by the Alaskan Engineering con : mission for extending railroad facili- ties, and will also make a thorough study of the topography, with a view to the selection of the best and most feasible route for he 'c- cation of the line that will b, iaid at some future date to serve Il needs of the district.
 It is not the intention of the Alaskan Engineering commission, MT. Browne said, to complete the building of the main line from Ne mana to the coast and the branch line to Fairbanks only. The volume of business that would be handled over this line would barely pay the expenses incident on the operation and cost of maintaining the road, he thought, unless branch lines were constructed to tap the mining dis tricts adjacent to the main line. This was the primary purpose for the construction of a trunk line from the coast to Nenana.
 On his return from the Hot Springs district, MT. Browne will have informed himself thoroughly regarding the country and it's possi- bilities and will be in a position to advise the Alaskan Engineering commission, and to make his recom- mendations to the commission so that it would be enabled to take appropriate action when the. proper time arrives. MT. Browne was not in a position to make any definite statement regarding the construc- tion of the Hot Springs branch line, as much would depend, he thought, on the freight requirements of the district and the volume of outgoing freight that can be calculated on to feed the main line when the dis trict has reached more advanced stage in it's development than at present existing. He would be in a better position to say more about the possible extension of the rail- road to the Hot Springs district on his return to Nenana. He thought, however, that the Hot Springs branch would be one of the first of the feeder lines to be constructed.
 During the coming winter, when railroad activities will have, of ne- cessity been somewhat curtailed, and he will have a lesser amount
