COMMITTEE PUTS
DOUSE IN CHARGE
Live Young Attorney Will Act As
Manager of Fourth of July
Celebration.

At meeting of the Fourth of
July celebration committee, held at
the Nenana club last night, it was
decided to place R. R. Douse in
entire charge of the arrangements,
as celebration manager. Mr.. Douse
has consented to serve the town in
that capacity and will devote his en-
tire time, between now and the
Fourth, to the work of arranging
the details of the celebration, which
promises to eclipse anything of the
kind hitherto attempted by Nenana.
The members of the committee
went over the plans last night, and
| it was tentatively decided that the
three main events of the celebra-
ton will be a series of ball games,
tug of war and speed boat races
An effort will be made to induce
four teams to enter the pulling con-
tests, and it is almost certain that
there will be half a dozen entries
in the boat races. Negotiations are
now in progress with Brooks and
Fairbanks in the hope of having two
visiting ball teams here for the
celebration, in which event at least
three games will be played.
The committee is still trying to
make arrangements for an excur-
sion from the upper town, but it IS
not known definitely if steamer
can be obtained for the trip. The
committee is hopeful, however, of
making such an arrangement and
securing rate sufficiently low to
insure big crowd of visitors. Spe-
cial efforts are to be made, also.
to bring a crowd of visitors from
the Tolovana.
Manager Douse was out today
securing information relative to
speed boats and will have something
definite to announce along that line
at very early date.
The posters for the celebration
will be issued this week and will
be distributed up and down the
Tanana river Immediately, it being
the intention of the committee to
advertise the celebration extens-
lively and thoroughly.

mission basis. Some of the agents

PLAN PARIS ATTACK

PARIS.-Military observers Pre-.
dict that it is only a question of
time when the Germans will renew
their effort to break through the
defenses which bar the approach
toward Paris. The recen. offensive
enabled the Germans to complete
their semi-circle line to the north
of the city and it is believed that
they arc now in a position to strike
a mighty blow in a concerted move
ment to crush the defending lines.

only this vast aggregation Of artil-

of the huge combination of industry
that it takes to supply them with
ammunition. There were pictures

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON

The Rev. Gilbert A. Ottmann has
just received word that his son, the
Rev. Donald R. Ottmann. rector of
Trinity church, Trinidad, Colo., has
been appointed chaplain in the U. S.
army, with rank as first lieutenant,
and ordered to report at Fort Sill,
Okla, Aug. 18th.
Mr.. Ottmann was an army chap
lain during the Spanish-American
war; also a national guard chaplain
for several years, and it is natural
for his son to follow in his footsteps.
The Star prophesies the Rev. Donald
will make a good spiritual adviser
for the doughboys.
