BREAKUP DELAYED
 BY COLD WEATHER
Cinema Slough Rising Slowly, But Still Far From Mark Permitting
 Ice Movement.

Advices received from Fairbanks today state that the ice in Cinema slough apparently is still as solid as it was at any time during the winter and the water has risen % slightly that there appears little in dication of breakup. The rise re- ported is only seventeen inches, and it is believed that the water will have to come up another two or three feet before any ice movement can be expectd. There are many who believe the ice will not go out of the slough before May 15.
 The water also must rise consid- erably in the Panama river before breakup can be expected in front of Nenana, the rise being variously estimated at from a few inches to several feet. There are those, any way, who are willing to wager that the ice will not move this week, their opinion being based on the absence of water and the continued cold weather.

RED GROSS POOL ON BREAKUP FOR
 TRE YARN FUND
Ladies Will Be Out With Lists This Afternoon, Inviting Public to
 Help.

The Red Cross ladies of Nenana have started an ice pool, which will be launched this afternoon and con- tinued until tomorrow night at mid night. The ladies will be out in force this afternoon, just as soon as the lists are ready, and all ladies who desire to assit are urged to call at the Cooney hotel, where they will be supplied with lists.
 Guesses on when the ice will move will be fifty cents each, and the re- ceipts will be div ded fifty-fifty- half to go to the winner and the other half to the Red Cross Yarn fund, which stands greatly in need of assistance.
 The pool was decided on at a meeting of the ladies, held at the Nenana club rooms this afternoon, and they are hopeful of raising a considerable sum of money in this manner. The cause is a worthy one and the public of Nenana is urged to make the pool success.

PIONEER SMOKER
 IS B|G SUCCESS PROGRAM WINNER
Large Numbes of Oldtimers Gather At Union Hall and Enjoy
 Entertainment.

Notwithstanding the fact that many men have left town during the past few days, in response to the call of the Alaskan Engineering commission for additional workers, the smoker given by Nenana Igloo, Pioneers of Alaska at Union hall on Monday evening was one of the most largely attended affairs ever staged by the organization of oldtimers. And the program rendered was one of the best seen in Nenana.
 The hit of the evening, of course, was the three-round "go" between Pete Schmidt's bantams' Ira (Snow- balD Campbell and Clifford Noeller, the two forty-pound youngsters who made their debut recently at the Coliseum. The boys showed marked improvement in their bout at the smoker, having developed both speed and ring generalship to a profes- sional degree under the careful tutorage of Pete Schmidt
 The exhibition was so thoroughly enjoyed that money was thrown into the ring from every part of the hall, the testimonial totaling twenty-three dollars.
 The other members on the pro- gram included: an address by Steve O'Neil, vocal selection by Messrs. Palmer and Hancock; instrumental duet, violin and guitar, by Berggren and Sellander; reading by Geo. w. Pennington; poem by R. c. Morriss; stories by Frank Rourke; address by H. c. Curtis, and remarks by E. E. Dilley and George Moody, visiting from Fairbanks.
 The program was followed by sourdough spread.

A telegram received at Valdez recently by the steamship office states that at the request of Food Administrator Gunnison and to en- able the farmers in the vicinity of Anchorage to dispose of their sur plus stock, and also to avoid a shortage of food products, the ship ping board has been asked for au- thority to publish rate of four dollars per ton, effective immedi- ately, on potatoes shipped from An chorage to Southwestern ports of call, good on all Alaska steamships. This will materially help the con- servation of foodstuffs says the Val dez Miner, as farmers of Matanuska are reported to have large stock of old potatoes on hand which they are unable to get rid of.

CAMPBELl'S ARE
 COMING AT COLISEUM

A perturbation of what is re- corded in history as perhaps one of the most dramatic of war occur. rences, will be presented at the Coliseum tomorrow evening, under the name of "The Campbell's are Coming"
 The story deals with the relief of Lucknow, in Interior India, dur ing the famous Indian mutiny, and in the presentation of this play the directors have used two thousand five hundred people.
 General Havelock, with a small force of British soldiers was shut up in Lucknow, besieged by thous- ands of the murderous Indians. En- cumbered by women and children, he was unable to make any offensive movements against the foes, even if his troops permitted, and was forced to remain there in hopes that help would come.
 In the meantime the British gov ernment was hurrying reinforce ments to the aid of the general as fast as possible, and Sir Colin Camp bell was placed at the head of a force of "kilties" to effect the re- lief of Lucknow. He had need to hurry. Exposed to the incessant fire of the enemy, whose shot pierced every part of their retreat except the cellars, where the women and childrn found shelter, the Brit ish soldiers at Lucknow were falling fast. Month after month rolled away without a sign of succor, and the horrible tragedy impending seemed nearer each day.
 Finally, on the day when the h. dians were making the final pre- praations for their drive on the gates of the city, one of the young

Townshend is called upon to furnish
$4,000 this year from the sale OF
thrift stamps and war savings stamps
and if the Liberty loan of about half
that amount can be doubled in a few
weeks, surely during the rest of the
year we can purchase $4,000 of the
war savings stamps, but it means that
every man, woman and child in both
Townshend and West Townshend must
wake up and purchase stamps. These
may be obtained at the postoffice at
each place, also at c. H. Grout s store
At West Townshend, at f. A. Allbee IS

AS Many Men as Needed to

SHOULD NOT THINK

PHILADELPHIA, May 2.--As many
million rs might be needed to win the
war would be sent to the battlcfronts,
Secretary Daniels declared today in an

LET US not think in forms of fixed
numbers he said. Congress has
provided the sclcctiyc draft and when
there arc enough ships all of these men
will be on the fields of France. If
there are not enough men between 81
and 81 to win the war the age limit
will bc changed and men of 80. and so,
If need he, will respond to the eolors. -
