Elmoro Dancing Party
Was Great Success

The dancing party given by the Ell
moro club at the Armory Thursday
proved to be one of the most pleasant
and enjoyable of the season. A large
crowd was in attendance and the mu-
sic-say did you ever hear that band
was a real thriller. Tillotson's or
chestra had been secured for this
party, and while much had been said
regarding their ability to put the
dancing "pep" into their audience,
nothing had been exaggerated. Old
and young alike got the tickle in the
heel and could not think Of setting
out dance. It was certainly great
and no mistake.
AS the members of the Elmoro club
had announced, the net proceeds of
this dance were to go to the local
Red Cross and Friday the boys
turned over the tidy sum of $76.75 to
Secretary R. l.. Brown, of the Valley
City Chapter and received his hearty
thanks. While the expense run into
money somewhat, they were held
down to minimum, as the following
statement will show:
Number tickets sold ........ 80
Total receipts .............$148. so
Printing and advertising. .... 8.15
Armory rent ............... 70. w
Music ................. 800
Balance left over ......$ 1915

Problem Before Senate

Washington, Jan. 10. - Director
General McAdoo today explained to
the senate interstate commerce COM
mittee the operation of government
control of railroads and urged speedy
passage of the administration railroad
bill by congress to clarity the financial
situation so as to permit the fotation
of S10,0 100000 900 in bonds by the gov
eminent by the end Of the present fis-
cal year. He also asserted that gov
eminent operation would be extended
to canals and inland waterways if it
was considered necessary.
Asked About Carriers
Mr.. McAdoo was questioned regard
ing the necessity for government con-
troll of the carriers and the compensa-
ton of short line railroads. He will
appear again Monday to answer fur
Their questions, and probably will 60
before a house committee later.
Investigations are being made, the
director general said, to determine
what short line railroads are to be re-
tanned by the government. Those not
taken over, he declared, will not be
compensated and if they suffer dam
ages, redress will have to be obtain
ed in the courts. He said it was not
proposed to keep control of any I'M
necessary lines.
Mr.. McAdoo said the present rail-
road regulations would continue to be
employed as long as they are salts
factory.

ought to employ anybody who isn't
necessary" he declared, 'but feel
that we should not disintegrate the
railroad organizations until congress
has decided the future of the rail
roads"

good had been accomplished in the
three weeks of government control

Will See That Emperor
Gets All He Wants

Washington, Jan. 19.-The right of
the German emperor to the exclu-
sive making Of war or peace has been
re affirmed in the Prussian chamber
of Lords in the adoption Of resolu-
ton presented by Berlin representa-
tives, said dispatch today from
Berne. As quoted in the dispatch the
resolution said:
"The chamber of lords firmly hopes
that when peace is concluded the gov
eminent will see that the right of the
emperor of Germany are safeguard
ed. These right are conceded to him
by the constitution and peace should
be concentrated with the sacrifices
which have been made for the politi-
cal and economic interests Of the
country"
Accompanying the resolution was
this commentary:
"The president of the United States
has asked if the German negotiations
at Brest-Litovsk are in the name of
the majority of the Reichstag, or in
the name of the military party. For
our part we affirm that it is the Ger
man emperor who in the terms of the
constitution has the exclusive right
to make war and peace"
Bolsheviki Lose Vote
Petrograd, Jan! 19.-That the Boil
sheviki are greatly in the minority
in the the constituent assembly was
evidenced again in the voting in the
chamber last night. The Bolsheviki
members demanded that the question
of the authority of the workmen's and
soldiers government be first consider
ed. This was defeated by vote Of
237 to LAG. ..,. "
The Bolsheviki then asked for a
two hours recess in order that party
conference might be held to consider
further action. Only a half hour re-
cess was voted. At the expiration of
this time the other members of the as
sembly decided to continue without
the Bolsheviki, and DEGREES relating to
the peace and land questions were
taken up, about dozen members
speaking.

COMMUNICATION
B sssseEssx xexrssse

As the Nenana representative of the Alaska Committee for The Fatherless Children of France, I de- sire to express my heartfelt grati- tude to the management of the Coliseum for their most liberal donation of half the proceeds of Monday nights entertainment to this cause whose great worth and merit are so apparent to all of us. Also to the Nenana Club. and the many individuals who so generously subscribed to the Memorial Fund to Our Boys" in response to Mr. Pen nington's suggestion at the com memorative service held in the Coliseum last month. That each and every one may know just how urgent is the need of funds for our organization at this time, I quote the following from a letter received from Mrs. John A. Davis, of Fair banks, secretary of the Alaska Com mittee for the Fatherless Children of France, under date of October 19, 1918:
 We hesitate to thank you for the labor that this will involve, for we know that you will welcome it as an opportunity to translate into practical action the feeling we all have these days toward the France that his given so willingly of her sons-the fathers of these children in the great common cause of civi- lization.
 Two hundred and fifty thousand fatherless children of France must be provided for by our organization during the next twelve months. The ten million dollars required to do this can be secured only by extend ing our efforts materially, and it is the urgent desire of the National Committee that as many new sub scribers as possible be secured at once, to meet this need"
