What Is Cowardice?

From t'ATn 1 a COW !'' Dy EuScue A-s
 Harrison, in Physical Culture.
 However many phases there may be of courage, bravery, yalor and fear, there seems to be but one of actual cowardice. It is moral panic an absolute destitu- ton of courage. It comes about through surrendering to the initial fear and let ting it demoralize one. Panic quickly times in terror of something that does not exist, something purely imaginary and born Of fear-crazed brain. The cause of the original fear often becomes insignificant in comparison to the imag-' ined one. This state of panic is com tagious. This is best illustrated by a flock of sheep when one of them be- comes alarmed and bolts. The others rush pell neil after it, bleating and ter TOT stricken, not knowing why, or of what they are afraid.
 A coward at heart. with supreme ef- fort of the will, can overcome cowardlce by nippng it in the bud. When fear. begins 10 sap his resolution, strength and determination, he must quickly sub stitute another emotion. He can allay his fear, or at least control 1t, until he can get firm grip upon himself. He should summon his pride. He should face the danger and try to force himselr to remain calm. If he turns his back tp the enemy his fears are magnified; 1f he faces the enemy, though he be very much afraid, the danger doesn't seem. half as great. And as he faces the enemy little flower of confidence blooms within his heart. With each en- during moment his courage more ana more suprlants his fear. until the later is crowded into the background.
 The thin line between courage and cowardice is none too distinctly drawn. for it rides astride fear And it mus seem inans to be told how one can be either a coward or a courageous man, depending altogether upon which side of tho line one takes the first step put the formula has held good in actual prac- tice in our very best war.

GRADE FINISHED
At SOUTH END Of
The NEW D LINE
Albert Lundborg Completes His
Contract and Joins the New
and Old Railroad Line.

Albert Lundborg, the we'll known
contractor who has successfully
completed several grading and other
contracts with the Alaskan Engin-
eering commission on the right of
way south of Nenana and on the
Nenana-Fairbanks line, completed
his last grading contract on the ex-
IRENE south end of the new D line,
and by doing so has joined the D
line to the old right of way just
little way below the old through
cut on Bartlett's contract near 80
mile.
Lundborg's contract extended
from station No. D 1890 to station
No. d 1890, a distance of six
thousand feet, or a trifle over a
mile on the extreme southern end
of the d line, and consisted entirely
of fill. He employed quite a
large force of men and many teams,
the entire length of the grade fin
ished by him was done with scrapers.
The men and teams employed by
him will arrive in town today and it
is probable that he will be able to
get some grading work on the Ne
nana-Fairbanks right of way to keep
his stock going until freezeup. The
grading work on the Nenana-Fair-
banks line is only suitable for work
with scrapers and teams.

ESTER PIONEER
VISITING hENANA
Well Known Mining Man From Ester
Creek, Comes to Nenana For
the First Time.

Henry Schroeder, of Ester City, ar
rived in Nenana last night for the
first time since the town was es-
tablished here and says he is very
favorably impressed with the pros
porous looks of the town as COM
pared with the other Interior towns
he had recently visited.
He says that he expected to see
a town here somewhat like ordinary
mining acmps in the Tanana valley,
but that what he found to exist
surpassed all of his estimates of the
place.
There is very little mining activity
in the Ester district, he says, owing
to the fact that labor is very scarce
and prices of the necessary tools,
machinery and supplies have ad-
vanced about four hundred per cent,
making 1t absolutely impossible for
the average operator to undertake
mining operations even on a small
scale. The people of the district
are living in hopes of the passage
of the bill now being considered
whereby the gold mining industry
will get a new lease of life as it
were in Alaska when the government
decides to give the producers a
bonus on the gold produced.
Henry was about the heaviest
sufferer in the recent fire which de-
vastated Ester City and destroyed
the entire business section of the
little camp. He lost all his personal
goods and the four houses he owned,
including the Northern cafe. lie
says he would like to settle perman-
emily in Nenana at least until such
time as he will be enabled to again
open up the quartz and placer
ground owned by him in the dis
trict.

There have been many signs re-
Gently of extreme uneasiness by the
German high command regarding
the increasing ascendancy of the
Allied airmen on the Western front.
This has been especially evident
since the American airmen have be-
gun to appear in force and have
proved themselves of the same met
tie as the French and British filters.
1t has become commonplace
among British airmen that their op-
ponents will not face combat in the
air unless in strength of three or
four to one, and German prisoners
have told of German airmen being
punished by their flight command
ers for returning to their airdromes
laden with bombs and ammunition
which they had been ordered to
drop over the British lines. 1t is
becoming increasingly hard to find
a German airman over the Allied
side of the lines in the daytime, as
is proved by the Germans own ad-
mission that when they do manage
to bring down an Allied machine
it is almost always over their own
territory.
Perhaps the most striking evil
dence of German official anxiety
regarding the Allied superiority in
the air is found in the official Ger
man wireless news. This, while al
ways imaginative and rarely accu-
rate, has Of late been singularly
wild and full of fiction regarding
the situation in the air. In an eff
fort to counteract the depressing
effect of the real facts of the stu
alton, the German wireless editors
make the widest statements, Dor
The Nenana daily news. (Nenana, Alaska) 1918-1921, 1918-08-24
dering almost on humor.

This recent copy of the Ger
man wireless report SAYS: "Su-
Nperior methods of flying and great
err skill have secured for the Ger
man Air Force successes on a scale
such as were never known before"
The same statement refers in glow
ing terms to the RECKLESS attacking
spirit" of the pilots of the German
chasing planes-a phrase which pro-
voked much merriment among Briu-
ish, French and American airmen,
who of late have found that even
one of the reconnaissance machines
can rely on putting to fligh. any
German machine which is not ac-
companied by three or four of its
own kind.
"If Germany is really pleased with
her air record for the past few
MONTHS" remarked British squad
ron leader to the correspondent,
"there is no reason for US to COM
plain. We ask nothing better than
that Germany should go on having
the same kind of success in future
months"
He took as example, the report
for May, which lay open on his desk.
"This report" he explained, ideals
with the British air fighting alone,
and has no reference to the fine
air work of the French, Italians and
Americans During the month, the
British brought down 1913 German
machines in aerial combat, and 20
by fire from the ground, while 100
more were driven down out of con-
troll and probably destroyed. Oar
ing the same period, 12S British
machines failed to return to laeir
airdromes'
