NENANA LADIES ARE THANKED BY
 THE "POILUS" WHO OCCUPY CLEAN BEDS.

NENANA, ALASKA, Aug l5- (By Mail)- Wound ed "pos who occupy the fourteen beds donated by Al aska railroad towns to hospital at Neuly, France are very grateful to the donors, according to letter re ceived by Mrs Thomas Riggs wife of AlaskaS governor from girl friend who visited the hospital in May copy of the letter reached here today
 Some of the beds have been named after the towns which donated them. The named ones are Nenana Ta- keetna Vurnagain Arm Fairbanks, Matanuska, Seward and Anchorage All these towns are on the railroad the government is building between Seward and Fairbanks
 In one of the Anchorage beds, lay wounded French artleus who was smoking bad cigarettes with intimate pleasure cracking jokes and making puns about the name of the town in whose bed he ay the letter said He ask ed me tell you he very grateful to his absent friends for givng him sucha comfortable recovery.
 The pous were very much interested in the fact Me- mana is the newest town in North America and said it made them feel quite old in comparison because they could mt imagine what it would be like to live in place where they couldn't think back hundred years.
 They were interested and amused by my statement that American women ride about the snow in dog seds n Alaska and some remarked would be much bet ter than mud in Flanders One said it would be fine as all he would have to do would be to nbuckle his artfc l limbs and leave them behind Tell your Nenana friends that this grim humor is the order of the day

MIRACLE MEN" Is NAME GIVEN
 TO SOLDIERS or THE UNITED STATES.

LOS ANGELES. Sept. B. Miracle Men that's the term applied the soldiers of the United States in France by Joseph Scott of this city who is national com missioner of the Knights oi Columbus to the batefronts in France and who nS just returned home after passing ten weeks in Europe in his official capacity.
 The bravery and fortitude of the American soldiers at the front have filled the entire allied world with admir- ation because they have accomplished miracles said Mr. Scott.
 But cur soldiers over there cannot do it all. They must be given every support at home No sacrifice which the civilian population may make will compare in the eaS. degree with what our soldiers are sacrificing for us thousand jokes from the German army have today turned
 The untrained' men from America, the butts of thousand jokes from the German armyhave today turned the tide of battle and the kaiser and his millions are smb ling back the Rhine in front of American bayOnets
 How my heart thrills when think of those bronzed boys wounded but ever smiling who returned from Cha teau ThieIy and other golyzones where Americans routed the naughty PruSsianS!
 Yes although they were wounded nigh unto death their eyes shot fire and they sent messages to their rades finish the work they had already begun It's derfu marvellous! No knows the first thrill of pat rOtiSm until he has seen what have seen in France!
 "The American at home who thinks he already has made his sacrifices had better get grip on himself He has only begun to suffer English and French know into submission They know-and we must learn that the military power of Germany with its Kaiser must be utterly crushed before there can be any peace
 "Om boys in France know this. Our civilians at home must be made to know it.!

No Slowing Up!

That we are driving the Germans
back and that Germany wants peace
are not reasons for slowing up on the
loan, slowing up on sending troops
across, slowing up on building ships
and guns. slowing up ON turning out
shells or making powder, or in slowing
mp on anything, except peace talk.
If Germany could negotiate out of
this war before allied armies stand
upon her soil and occupy her cities
. generation would not elapse before
German statesmen, writer's, propagan-
dists would be again talking of din
vincible Germany" "Germany's destiny
to rule" German kultur," German
efficiency" and all the rest of that
tragic tommyrot which has plunged the
world in blood. and, if we are not care
full, may do so again.
Germany has had her chance and
she has lost! On with the loan, troops,
ships, guns and the business of the
war!

Check Inflow of New Clerks.

Civil Service Commissioner Gallo
way is quoted as declaring there will
be no cessation of the influx Of gov
eminent employees for duty in the war
work divisions of the departments and
that the menace of influenza contagion
is not to weigh. Mr.. Galloway prob
ably is following the line of routine
duty in taking his stand. Congress has
appropriated for the additional en-
ployes, the heads Of departments have
asked for them and it devolves upon
the Civil Service Commission to fur
nish them.
The Civil Service Commission should
Immediately be directed by higher au-
thority to cease at once the bringing
into Washington Of new clerks. Health
Officer Fowler has issued warning
against further increase in the popu-
lation, even to the extent of protesting
against the coming Of relatives Of
stricken residents of the capital.
The necessity of stopping additions
to the congested population for rea-
sons relating to public health alone is
obvious and needs no calculation. If
official action is required to accom-
plish the end it should be taken imme-
diately and by such authority as will
make it effective. This should be done
to protect the war workers and the resi-
dent population and also to shield pro-
spective newcomers.
Moreover, the belief is we'll grounded
that there is no actual necessity for
the employment of many additional
clerks in the departments if those now
here are properly distributed. From
many sources come reports, the correct
ness of which cannot be doubted, that
there is glut in the clerical labor mar
ket already in certain bureaus, and
that proportion Of the new clerks now
on duty do not find work to occupy all
their time.
The subject is important enough to
be worthy of high official considera-
ton, even with weightier affairs pend
ing.

The Revenue Situation.

Chairman Simmons is unable to see
an earlier day than the 25th for the re-
port of the Senate finance committee
on the war revenue measure, and he
does not promise it for that day.
His opinion on the matter is entitled
to great weight. He knows his SUBJ
ject. His experience has been consid-
cradle. It is within the record, too, to
say that he has shown himself to be a
fair and thoroughly competent man in
his present Office.
He presided over the Senate's re-
vision Of the Underwood tariff bill as
passed by the House. He also pre-.
sided over the Senate's revision of the
war revenue measure passed by the
House last year. Neither revision re-
suited in a satisfactory measure, but
both showed a material improvement
on the Houses work.
Mr.. Lodge, republican member of
the finance committee, agrees with Mr..
Simmons in estimating the size Of the
committees task. He names no day
for the committees report, nor one for
the final vote of the Senate on the COM
hittss's 4svision. But he poiats out

Build the Belt Line!

The construction Of the belt line rail
way for better serving the needs Of
government workers in the temporary
buildings on the Mall, in Potomac Park
and between Pennsylvania avenue and
the park should now 60 forward with
the least possible delay. This work
promises relief for a situation that has
become grave. The plan has received
the approval Of the heads Of the War
and Navy departments. It's execution
now depends upon the cooperation of
the national government, which han
dies the project as warmeasure, the
District Commissioners and the local
street railway companies. There has
been some natural opposition to laying
car tracks on B street from 18th to 9th
streets because this would constitute
an interference with the plans for the
development Of Potomac Park. Gen.
Black, chief Of engineers of the Army,
at first objected and then withdrew
his objection. Winning the war is the
only question that counts now, and as
the belt line will increase the efficiency
of the war workers in Washington, let
it b" built at once. Park plans and
even the parks themselves must yield.
Washington cherishes the national
parks and trees Of the capital, but even
deep-rooted sentiments of this kind
must give way before the great pur-
pose Of the day and the century. Go
ahead with the building Of the belt
line!

spirit Of patriotism and good viii with
which it started on its mission. But
the work Of the bond solicitors and the
bond subscribers is not finished. It
must 60 on till Washington subscribes
its quota of the loan, and then some.
It is . big sum, but the republic Of
the United States, to protect the lib
critics Of its people and to make the
world a safe place to live in, needs
the money. It only wants to borrow
it It will repay the principal and
heap on the interest in dollars and
cents and those other things-iber-
ties-without which dollars and cents
would be worth nothing.
Washingtonians live at the seat of
government. Thousands of them help
to turn the wheels. Thousands Of their
boys are cover there" and other thou
sands are going. Thousands of their
girls are nursing and knitting. They
have got the money either in hand or
coming to them to make this loan
good and they are going to put it up.
Thousands of them have had to skimp
in order to put up the first, second
and third loans, and they are getting
used to skimping. They will skimp a
little more and in the end will be all
the richer in dollars and proud
thoughts for the skimping they have
done. The fellow who has not had to
skimp will not feel half so much sat
isfaction as the fellow who has skimp-
ed, when the war is won. To put this
loan over it is only necessary to sit
down and talk it over with the home
folks. There is a flag in a window
in every home and it shows which way
Washington's heart is leaning. We
will put up a liberty flag for every
window in every home and for every
pane of glass in the windows if it is
needed to raise this fund.
Call again, bond solicitors! Wash
ingtonians are not tired Of subserib-
ing; they are just beginning to sub
scribe! The Washington home never
starts with a flourish and ends with a
fzzle. It starts slow and finishes
right. Many a man and woman who
has subscribed for a $50 bond will
raise it to a 800, if that becomes nee
essary.

Putting Over the Loan.

That flag with the red border and
the white rectangular center crossed
by four vertical parallel blue bars bur
geoned in thousands of the city's homes
yesterday. Miles of houses on both
sides of the east and-west streets, up
and down the north and south streets,
along the slanting avenues and along
those streets which have no cardinal
direction or which change it from time
10 time, carried that flag in a front
window. Above the flag in bold blue
letters was Subscriber; below the
flag in blue letters was sHonor En-
blem," and below that in big red char
scters was Fourth Liberty Loan" It
was rare to see a house without its
Shonor emblem" Scrupulous house
keepers who give grave thought to the
appearance of their homes and who
have shuddered at the thought Of put
ting sign in their windows stuck up
the "honor emblem" and then went
outside to make sure that it was stuck
up straight.
The day was a great success for the
fourth liberty 4oan Rain retarded the
work, but it went bravely on. The pa
triotic liberty loan visiting committees
made their rounds, and it would be
curious, indeed, to hear of an instance

that there 10 . crest deal 70 be don't,
and declares the work too important TO
be hurried.
These men speak with knowledge
and by authority. What they say we
may all we'll heed.
The finance committee is now in
charge. The bill before it is the sub
ject of wide and deep protest. It
does not satisfy even its authors. Al
though all voted for reporting it, and
subsequently all voted for passing it,
some of them in the open debate in the
House criticised it frankly. They evil
IDENTIFY expected, and probably hoped,
for changes by the Senate.
As for the business world, it is look
ing to the Senate with undisguised So
lieitude. The House bill has sent
shivers up and down its back. 1t wants
to pay its share Of the wars cost, but,
naturally and properly, wants that
share equitably assessed. And, more
over, it wants to be left in a condi-
ton to earn the money.
The finance committee might we'll
guide by this sentiment: Weeks, if
necessary, for the shaping of good
bill, but not a day for delay. A good
bill is desired by, and will benefit, all.
A bad bill-one Of glazing inequalities,
and smacking of both class and Sec
tion-will injure all. Let US have a
good bill-the best possible in the diff
ficulties that all can see and should
eandidly confess.

No Armistice, Only Surrender.

"Whether arms are to be lowered is
Q question. Until then we must not
slacken" Thus the kaiser addresses
his forces on land and sea in announc-
ing to them that the imperial govern
ment has taken steps toward peace-by
negotiation.
Until German standards are lowered
and rifles stacked and until there is alb
solutely no question as to Germany's
full capitulation to the forces of lib
erty, justice and right entente endeavor
will not cease. When the kaiser de-
clares, ave must not slacken," he gives
to our forces of democracy slogan
which should be carried high at the
present moment, when, through insid-
iously prepared trickery, the German
imperial government seeks to weaken
the steeled determination of allied ar
mics and people by the acid of in
trigue.
There is nothing new in the latest
moves of Germany, and her allies to
bring the war to an advantageous con-
clusion. Germany and her allies de-
sire peace-need peace. If they can
obtain an end to the present struggle
through negotiation, Germany will
emerge an unchastened government,
one which will not have realized the
penalties for sins it has dared to COM
NIT. It will 60 through future decades
Gmug in the thought that it again can
usher in and carry to conclusion a
struggle equally barbaric in all its
moral phases, equally destructive in
its physical features and then emerge
with Germany unscathed, but with po-
tential enemies PROSTATE.
Germany must and will be punished,
all peace maneuvers Of the German
government Notwithstanding.
Germany awaited "der tag" when she
could plunge the world into frightful
orgy of blood and destruction. The
allies are pressing forward to "the
day when reparation for this crime
against civilization shall be made.
The hosts of the allied powers will
. march on until the armies of Germany
khave been vanquished and Germany
herself forced to repay in measure for
the terrible outrages she has committed
in the name of kultur When that time
comes the allies will demand, not ne
Eotiate for, every principle for which
they today are offering up life and
treasure.
