Cause Camps to Close

Nenana, Jan. l6.-Three construction camps along the railroad line were shut down today owing to inability ol the commission to handle supplies and other work in connection with them, without the locomotives which were wrecked in the fire yesterday morning. The situation is clearing up somewhat today, however, and there is a possibil- ity that two of the locomotives may be saved. One of them, at least. will be repaired and ready for operation again within the next ten days or two weeks. Officials of the commission hope to have the three crews that were laid off back at work as soon as the locomotive is again in order.
 Work of rebuilding the roundhouse has been started already. This morn ing few carpenters wore put to work and others will be put on as soon as possible.
 In Nenana there was some talk of inceudiarism in connection with the fire, but now it is believed by the off cials that such was not the case. All indications are that the fire was acci dental, rather than intentional.

ROUNDHOUSE AT
 NENANA BURNED

Nenana. Jan. l5.-By far the most serious catastrophe yet experienced in Nenana was that which occurred this morning when fire, of unknown origin, destroyed the roundhouse of the rail- road. In the house at the time were two big locomotives of the main line and one small switch engine, and up to a late hour today, officials of the Alaskan Engineering Commission could not determine whether or not they would be useless for further use. The locomotives were so hot at a late hour today that they could not be thor, oughly examined, to ascertain whether or not thay could be put back into com mission. The total loss is estimated to be between S75, ,O0O and Sl00,OO0.
 Between 4:2O and 4:30 o'clock this morning, the watchman was elsewhere about the commission buildings than at the round house and the flames, start

PUT ON MORE POSTAGE

Mrs. Chttick, of the Flat postoffice, wishes to caution the public against the inadequate stamping of letters. Since the new law concerning in- creased postage went into effect, many letters have been turned in daily with insufficient postage. Such letters can not be forwarded, and must be held back until the proper postage is re- ceived for them. Stamp your letters right, and avoid delay.

ALIEN WOMEN TO BE WATCHED

Washington. Jan. 3o.-Enemy alien restrictions will probably be extended to German women as soon as the Uuited States regards the hostile attitude of many of them to be fully as dangerous as that of the men. The government is now making arrangements to issue the order restricting the alien enemy women, and semi-oficial advices indi- cate that it will be forthcoming within 2 few days.

Answer Is Fairly Plain.

Why don't the kaiser give up?
Why don't the junkers surrender?
1t is impossible to know exactly why,
being neither the kaiser nor the
junkers, but from our understanding
of their view in life, the little item
of power, wealth, ease, pomp and
splendor, which is theirs through
the might of militarism, is worth
while to them to be retained even to
the slaughter of good part of the
rest of humanity. Why don't the
brewers surrender? Why don't the
liquor interests give up? The little
item of power, wealth, ease, pomp
and splendor, which is theirs by
right of brewery and distilleryism is
something to be retainer by them
even though a good share of the rest
of humanity be crushed and ruined.
The kaiser of Germany and the
brewers of America are allied agents
against the rest of humanity

No Food To Waste.

Some danger has existed that the
relaxation of restriction in the use
of certain foodstuffs might lead to
an erroneous belief to the effect that
economies were no longer necessary,
and that we might step back into
old wasteful habits prevalent before
We were called on to regard bread
as the staff of life and not as raw
material for the relief of nervous
fingers.
ounce of food too much in the
world, and that every man, woman
and child is under the sternest
necessity of saving whatever he can
of meat and grain and vegetables.
We have not single grain of cereal
or a slice of ham we can afford to
waste. All that we have is needed
to keep the world in shape to beat
the Germans, and to destroy any of
it is to contribute directly and
powerfully to the strength of our
enemies.
From time to time the accumu-
lation of stores of one food or
another will indicate adjustment Of
the regulations, in the interests OF
economy, the conservation of stor-
age space or to release other foods
for export. These situations are to
be met as they arise, but in no case
is permission to increase the ration
of any particular food to be con-
strued as notice to the public that
extravaganza with all foods is again
endurable.

Some observers think that the
most characteristic thing about the
American soldiers in France, some
thing which astounds the enemy and
excites the admiration of our allies,
is the capacity of the American
soldiers to do individual thinking
and fighting. The German fights
successfully only in mass formation,
in organized bodies, while every
American soldier has an initiative
and independence of action which
gives him remarkable efficiency in
open fighting. They are not sense
less cogs, but each is an individual
working unit in great fighting ma
chine.
Every American at home should
feel an individual responsibility and
do his or her individual part in win
ming the war. There is not an
American citizen who can not help
win the war. The Fourth Liberty
Loan drive, which begins September
2S, offers great opportunity for
concerted action and for individual
action, and the loan will be a ire
mendous success if each American
will do his or her individual part as
each American soldier in France
does his part. Our soldiers deserve
such support from the people at
home.

In making plans for the sale Of
bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan,
the fact is recognized that banks and
trust companies generally will accept
subscriptions from. their customers
and from individual subscribers
upon various plans of payment,
weekly, monthly or at other periods.
The bonds to cover these subscrip-
lions will be subscribed for by the
banks and trust companies them
selves, and payment will be made in
cash, or upon the installment plan
to be announced by the Secretary of
the Treasury, that is, an initial pay
ment with the subscription and
several installment payments, ap-
proximately thirty days apart.

Conversion OF Liberty Loan Bonds.

Conversion OF Liberty Loan Bonds
Three Liberty Loans have been
issued OF the First Loan there
are now outstanding Bonds at "
per cent, at per cent, and at 4 n
per cent. Of the Second Liberty
Loan there are outstanding Bonds OF
4 per cent, and Bonds of Az per
cent.
The holders of per cent. Bonds
of the First Liberty Loan and per
cent. Bonds of the Second Liberty
Loan have until Nov. the 9th, and
no longer, to present their Bonds
for conversion into Az per cent
Bonds. Holders of 81 per cent
Bonds of the First Liberty Loan will
doubtless have an opportunity later
to convert them into Bonds bearing
a higher rate of interest, if they
wish to do SO, but, unless the privi-
lege of conversion is exercised with
respect to all per cent. Bonds on
or before Nov. the 10Th, 1915, that
privilege will lapse forever.
Judging by the considerable num-
Der of Bonds of the First Loan is
sued at a per cent. and still out
standing, and the much larger
amount still outstanding in pei
cent Bonds of the Second Loan, we
are satisfied that the holders OF
these Bonds are not thoroughly
acquainted with their rights of con-
version or with the fact that con-
version, if effected at all, must be
made not later than NOV. 9th.
We have sent a number of circu-
lars and notices to banks, trust COM
panies, and bond houses, of this Dis
trict, but evidently the information
has not reached, in all cases. the
actual holders of the Bonds. 31s
per cent. Bonds and per cent.
Bonds of the First Loan, and per
cent of the Second Loan, should be
presented for conversion through
the banks which handled the origin
al subscriptions. All banks in the
District are supplied with the neces-
sary conversion forms, or can OBJ
tain them upon request, from the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.
Applications for conversion can be
made direct to the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond by the holders of
Bonds who desire to do so.

freight and passenger rates has been
necessary to provide for the increase
in wages allowed and the rising
costs Of operations generally.
Soldiers have been granted a
special rate of one cent per mile
when on furlough.
Another interesting chapter of
the report deals with the elimination
of unnecessary passenger trains.
In the district west of the Missis-
sipp River an aggregate passenger
train mileage of 21,000,O00 miles a
year has been thus done away with.
In the eastern district unessential
passenger trains that used to travel
26,420,000 miles per annum have
also been eliminated. Through
travel is being directed to the
natural routes. The hauling of
special trains or needless private
cars has been discouraged, and the
schedules are being revised, so that

Cattle Display Will Beat Former


There is no doubt that the cattle
display at the Lancaster Fair will be
far in excess of other years. The
Lancaster County farmers have been
quick to respond to the call of the
Government during war times and
also are taking advantage of the in
creased prices in milk to advance
the number of animals on the farms
They have as general rule beer
putting in high class stock such as
Holsteins, Jerseys and Guernseys,
which will be shown in abundance
this year. This department has al
ways been a success under the guild
ance of j. Aldus Herr, the present
Lancaster County farm adviser and
the entries up to the present time
indicates that it will equal the by
gone days.
