THIN TIME FOR FAT HUNS
Portfy Banker Defends His Food
HoardinQ I'm Berlin.

LONDON, Aug. 5-Most anyone in
Berlin has difficulty suppressing the
ravages of hunger on Germanys
starvation rations. But consider
the case of a Berlin colossus, a bank
director, 6 feet 5 inches tall and
weighing $50 pounds
The weighty banker was arrested
on a charge Of misusing hts fats and
and obtaining W pounds of butter by
Illicit methods. He pleaded in court
that life in Berlin Is insupportable on
existing rations.-especially for n
of his avoirdupois-and asked per-
mission to call eminent medical spe-
~cialists TO prove ii and to Justify
boarding and food smuggling.
When the court declined to admit
such tell-tale evidence Of h inade-
quacy of the Hun food ration system
the fat banker shrieked at the Judge:
Then I demand hat the imperial
chancellor himself be summoned Let
us find out II he can get along on ra-
lions or whether he too is not COM
PEELED, like the rest of us, to secure
food by hook or crook"
The fat bankers plea was denied.
He was found guilty and fined S1s.

the Democratic clans OF the state

Rarded with what might be called
eeriousness. The names Of Assembly

even mentioned.
Reports Of the gathering are to the
effect that the situation was not clart-
fled because OF the manifest oppost-

Mcdonald is authorized TO name q
committee of ten to take up the de-
tails of the campaign and urge party
unity on the schedule. It IL very evil

There will be q warm battle between

Iron Crosses Come Cheap

LONDON, Aug. 5:-The Iron Cross
has been so cheapened in -four years
OF war that German soldiers no long
er prize the decoration as a distinc-
ton and are willing to part with 1t
for a good ration of bread, on being
captured.
The French Croix de Guerre Is the
most common decoration In the allied
ranks, but as It Is won only by great
risk by acts of conspicuous bravery,
the French soldier prizes 1t today as
highly as he ever did.
German soldiers get the Iron Cross
In Its varying degrees for very COM
monplace acts at the front and even
for services far from the fighting.
The decoration has been bestowed lit
orally by the pound. Long lists of
new awards are printed nearly every
week in the German newspapers.

And they give the assurance that they will arrange a program which will we'll repay the many visitors who will be attracted to Nenana for the celebration.
 A considerable number of people can be expected from Fairbanks this Fourth, and an effort will be made to arrange an excursion for their &C., commodation and for the creek people of the upper camp, many of whom are anxious to have a look at the railroad town.
 There will be speed boat contests, a baseball game or two, all sorts of field sports, aquatic events, horse racing and possibly an automobile race. These and other events will make up program of unusual at tractiveness and the town can safely count on large number of visitors.
