SHELDON AUTO
WILL Be TRIED
BY FIRE CHIEF
If Satisfactory, Gas Wagon Will Be
Used to Pull Chemical Engine
to Fires.

Only small number of residents
responded to the call for a public
meeting at the fire hall last night,
for the purpose of organizing a
volunteer fire department, and no
definite action was taken, in con-
sequence.
The suggestion was made that the
Sheldon auto, which was brought to
Nenana on the last snow and left
here by the veteran auto trail blazer,
be given a trial as motive power
for the chemical engine, and if salts
factory, arrangements be made for
the use of the auto during the sum-
mer to haul the chemical to fires,
in case any should occur. Such an
arrangement, it was pointed out,
would insure prompt response to
fire calls and make less urgent the
organization of a volunteer depart
ment.
This plan met with the approval
of those present, and it also appear
ed to be the concensus of opinion
that the town purchase a regular
auto fire truck, at latter date.
Another meeting will be called
later, at which time another attempt
will be made to organize a depart
ment.

WILLARD FULTON
CONTEST IS OFF
Public Sentiment Is Strong Against
Staging Championship Bout
At This Time.

CHICAGO, May 11.-Announce-
ment is made today that the cham
pionship prize ring contest for the
heavyweight title of the world, be-
tween Champion Jess Willard and
Fred Fulton, which was scheduled
for July Fourth, has been called
off. In explanation of this action,
it is stated that public sentiment
against the contest is so strong that
it would be impossible to make a
financial success of the match.
Those who are endeavoring to
stage the bout declare that they
were prompted by craftsmanship
and Willard says that he only con-
scented to re-enter the ring because
he was under the impression the
public expected him to accept Full
toms challenge. He announces that
he will abide by the decision of Pro.

BEST ARMY WORLD EVER
SAW BEING PUT INTO FIELD

Chicago, June 10-War plans of the
medical profession will be formulated
at the sixty-ninth annual convention
of the American Medical association
which opened here today. Chiefs of
the United States army and navy med
ical forces, members Of medical mis-
sions from France, England, Italy and
Belgium and organizers of the new
medical reserve being formed in this
country are to take an important part
in the deliberations of the body.
I'VE are putting into the field the
best army physically and mentally in
the world" said Major General Gorgas
surgeon general of the United States
army. THE parents Ct the boys who
comprise this great army should know
that they will receive the best possi-
BILE treatment from the time they en-
ter the service until they are discharg-
ed. We have had the best health con-
ditions in mobilzing this army that
the world has ever seen. The death
rate in the Japanese army from dis
ease and wounds is 20 per 1000 and
this was the lowest of all the armies
in the world. The death rate in the
American army is per 1000.
1--WE estimate that rs or 80 per cent
of all wounded men will be restored
and returned to active service again
and that the number permanently dis
abled will not exceed 10 per cent.
"The great epics in the advance of
medical science in war work include
the efficacy of performing all surgical
operations within twenty -four hours
after the infliction of the wound, the
use of large incisions in performing
these operations, the discovery of an
anti toxin for gas bacillus, the inocu-
lation Of every wounded man with te-
tanus anti-toxin and the discovery
that trench fever is spread by vermin
similar to typhus.
"The practical effect of these dis
coveries will be of material assistance
to the army surgeons in keeping the
death rate down and increasing the
physical efficiency of the men in the
field.
"The moral standard of the Ameri-
can army in France is just as high as
IL is in this country. Statistics show
there Is much more venereal disease
among the men when they join the
army than at any time thereafter. In
this country the figures show that for
months not a single case of this class
/ of disease has been camps where thou
sands of men are assembled. These
facts speak for themselves.

MOTOR MEN ORGANIZE

The Motor Minute Men met tuesday
night at the court house and number
were here from other parts Of the coun
ty. Not much permanent work was
accomplished but an organization was
perfected with Mayor James as first
lieutenant. Many owners signed for
service and later it is expected to give
every owner of an auto chance to
volunteer his car if it become neces-
sary to call them into service.
1t seems unwise to organize the Mo-
tor Minute Men unless a home guard
is also organized with which to fiji the
cars with trained men. This would
allow the government TO furnish the
men with arms and ammunition so they
would be prepared for an emergency
whether it be on the border or in some
other part Of the state. There are but
few men who would want to go to
war armed with an auto and a club.
The owners of autos are anxious to
do their part an this organization Is
a start in the right direction.

FRENCH ATTACK sue.
CESSFUlLY TAKING
GUNS AND PRISONERS

The French troops fighting south
east Of Mont Didier have turned upon
the Germans in violent attack and
administered severe defeat TO the
enemy over front Of about seven and
half miles, between Rubescourt and
st. Maurne. II was over this front
that the French since Sundays often
sive began had held the Germans from
keeping pace with the advance they
were making from the center of the
line south of Reasons Sur -Matz toward
the Oise river, where the onslaughts of
the invaders were met with defense
in man and gun powder that brought
to the Germans enormous casualties.
The village of Belloy, Genlis wood
and heights rising between Courcelles
and moraemer were recaptured by the
French and. in addition to the inflic-
ton of heavy casualties on the enemy,
General Foch's men took more than
thousand prisoners and also captured
guns.
In the immediate center of the line
between Mont Didier and Noyon,
where the Germans had been able to
extend the apex of their drive to An
theuil, the enemy also was attacked
and driven back, but southwest of No
yon he succeeded in reaching Mache-
mont and Bethancourt, the last named
place lying on the west bank of the
Disc river. Hard fighting is still in
progress in this region, with the
French disputing the attempts of the
Germans to pass forward.
The American marines fighting in
the Chateau -Thierry sector have COM
pleted the capture of the Belleau wood
from the Germans and, with its occu-
patton, took 800 prisoners. The official
German communication asserted that
the Germans had repulsed several at
tacks in this immediate vicinity.
The apex of the salient driven by
the Germans still Is in the center,
south Of the village of Marqueglise.
To the west of this point. the Germans
at one time almost reached the Aronde
river, but were driven back for con-
siderable distance by the French in
heavy counter attacks. The French
also are counter attacking southwest
Of Noyon, according to the German Of
fetal communication, which says, how
ever, that renewed efforts of the
French to regain lost territory were
repulsed with heavy losses.
The German war Office claims the
capture of 10000 additional prisoners,
which, with the number of captives
reported Monday, would bring the to-
tai to $4,000 in the present fighting.
Since the new offensive began along
the Soissons- Rheims sector May 27, it
is asserted by the German official COM
munication that the army group of the
German crown prince has taken about
$4,000 allied troops captive.
