WAR TROPHIES
 UNDER BAN IN
 ENGLAND NOW
Soldiers Have Difficulty Returning Home With Trinkets of the
 Struggle.

LONDON.-No longer are British soldiers on leave seen streaming out of the big London railroad stations YiIn trophies oI Ine great war Ill the form of a German helmet, rifle, bayonet or a few old bombs and shells to decorate the walls of their home. An army order long since issued, but only very recently put rigidly into effect, forbids the carry ing off of these trophies from the battlefield, and now hawk-eyed mili- ! tary police watch the leave boats, But all the orders in the world and all the precautions ever in vented will not stop the souvenir 1 hunters. And the Tommies have the craze worse than the nimble-finger- ed gentry who used to specialize in railway straps, hotel soap and tow els and chips of granite from old castles.
 To carry the stuff home the sol. diers will try all sorts of subter- fuge. They will carry their souv. enirs about with them from res, billets to the trenches, sometimes even refusing to dump it when go ing into action. They guard theil treasures like diamond for months and will sacrifice little comforts that mean so much in the line 1T order to stow a harmless German bomb or the fuse cap of a shel in their sack.
 Men have left their own rifle with the quartermaster or in some unauthorized quarter and carried of a German one in a waterproof case past the picket at the boat. Piece: of bombs and shell have been found in puttees because haversacks art liable to be searched and extra pock cts have even been sewn into tail: of overcoats to hide forbidden souv enirs.

CHAIRMAN EDES SAYS WORK WILL
 MOVE STEADILY
William C. Edes Arrived in Nenana Last Night and Will Remain
 Here About Ten Days.

William C. Edes, chairman and only remaining member of the Alaskan Engineering commission, ar- rived in town last night on the launch Sunbeam from Fairbanks, accompanied by Andrew Christensen manager of the Land and Industrial department of the Alaskan Engin- eering commission MT. Mason, sec retary to MT. Edes, and MT. F. D. Browne, engineer in charge of the Fairbanks division. The party will remain here about a week or more, as MT. Edes intends to go thorough ly into the question of the work on the railroad in this division.
 MT. Edes states that it is the in- tention of the Alaskan Engineering commission to push construction work on the main line until the coal fields at Lignite have been reached, after which the line to Fairbanks will be taken in hand and com pleted; the main line will then be extended toward the coast until the construction party advancing from the coast over the Broad Pass route have been met and the rails joined.
 Mir. Edes also says that some work may be done on the branch line to Fairbanks this summer, but he will decide this later on, after he has had a chance to go over the situa- ton with MT. Browne and inspect the work already accomplished.
 Regarding the improvements to be made on the waterfront with spe- cial reference to the work to be done to prevent bank erosion, Mir. Edes said he was not in a position to discuss this matter until he had all the data before him, but though that the Commission would take this in hand as soon as conditions would permit and that in all probability the property owners along the water front will be given the necessary protection.
 With reference to the proposed mail trail between the ends of steel at the coast division and this divi- sion, Mir. Edes told the News repre- sentative that the Alaskan Engin- eering commission would gladly help the scheme and haul the mails on the trains operating from the coast and Interior terminals, but did not think that the Commission would care to handle the mails over the unfinished part of the road.
 After he has had an opportunity to consult with MT. Browne and look over conditions for himself, MT. Edes says he will be in better position to make a definite state ment regarding the Government railroad.
 According to MT. Edes, about million and a half to two million dollars of the appropriation, when passed, will be utilized for the work on this division.
