COAST FARMERS
 GIVEN HELP BY
 ROAD BUILDERS

ANCHORAGE.-Sixty tons of po- tatoes grown in the Matanuska val ley, which is on the Government railroad about thirty-five miles north of Anchorage, have been bought by the stores department of the Alas kan Engineering commission. This is the first sale of any consequence of vegetables from this season's crop.
 The yields of potatoes, beets, car rots, onions, cabbages and other vegetables in the Matanuska valley, while not so heavy as last year, are more than sufficient to supply the demands of the Anchorage mar ket. The quality of the crop is much superior to that of last year.
 The Alaskan Engineering coin- mission will buy of Matanuska form CTS all the vegetables it can use next winter in its terminal mess houses and construction boarding camps. Anchorage merchants will import no vegetables from the States, but will obtain their stocks from the Matanuska district. The large surplus, after provision has been made to meet the needs of the Commission and the Anchorage mer- chants, will be marketed, if possible, again this season, as last season, in towns and cities along the south western and southeastern coast O. Alaska.
 To move the surplus of last sea- sons crop, the steamship companies granted a special freight rate of S4 ton from Anchorage to Alaska coast towns. The time limit of this rate expired September 15, this year. The renewal of the four dollar rate by the steamship com panies will be urged by the Land and Industrial department of the Alaskan Engineering commission and the Anchorage Chamber of Com merce
 Orders of vegetables from this seasons crop will be received by the Land and Industrial department and the Chamber of Commerce, and by them transmitted to responsible and trustworthy farmers.

THE EPIDEMIC

In statement appearing in the Official Bulletin recently, the War Department says of the epidemic of Spanish influenza, now prevalent throughout many sections of the United States, that "the appearance of the disease in the camps does not come as surprise to the Medical Department, as it was reasonably certain that it would be brought to this country through the normal means of travel. The only method of preventing it's entrance into this country would have been to stop communication with European coun- tries while the disease was active in Erope. Wartime conditions pre- cluded such a course.
 Responsible medical officers at all camps and army cantonments re- gently received instructions from the surgeon general regarding the pre- cautions that should be taken to prevent the spread of all classes of respiratory diseases. While these suggestions did not specifically call attention to the possibility of epi- denies of Spanish influenza, the advice given applies equally we'll to this disease It is belived that the adherence to the sanitary procedure outlined in this communication will limit the spread of influenza.

GERMAN PRISONERS

German wireless reports asserting that the dejection of captured Ger mans is due to fear of bad treat ment rather than weakened morale are refuted by letters written by German prisoners in England, says an Associated Press correspondent, writing from London.
 Referring to the political condi- tions in Germany one prisoner wrote II should think those who have been deceived would be pretty tired of it by now and their eyes be opened. /"
 Regarding German officials the writer says: "The next Reichstag election after the war will show these gentry what's what"
 Writing to friend in America a prisoner describes conditions in Ger many as unbearable. Good luck 1 am not there," he says, Otherwise I would be no more among the living. I can only advise you not to go back unless you are forced to do so.
 "It is only for mad clique of militarists who are dragging our honest names into the dirt and whom we are to curse for our pitiful situa- ton, but I hope that the rest of the world will bring them back to their senses soon.

Headquarters of the American Army
in France, Aug. 31.-The problem OF
keeping the combat units of the army up
to full strength, or replacement a it is
technically termed, has been a perplexing
one to the military authorities. Here the
experience of the French and British did
not answer Their systems of replace
ment are based on different conditions
than those that confront Us. Both are
fighting virtually at home while we are
overseas.
Originally il was planned to create one
replacement division for each corps. This
was to be fully equipped and organized

we're drawn from it to fill the combat di-
visions. Theoretically this was perfect,
but problems of many kinds began To de-
velop in practice. First in time of need il
was seen that completed and trained
division could not lie idle but inevitably
would be drawn into the combat troops,
thus destroying the essential replacement
reserve.
Then came question of personnel and
morale. A very high percentage OF
wounded soon are able 10 return to the
front, but under the proposed system
phen they were discharged from hospital
eir original units were filled and they
were sent to strange commands. In this
way the spirit and loyalty that is devel-
oped in each division. making it a coher-
ent body with characteristics all its own
were threatened. Officers and men re-
turning from hospital went into the re-
placement division and then might "a

ments and new divisions, even into new
