GERMAN VANDALISM

The extent of German devastation. aid vandal-
ism is clearly shown by Joseph H. Odd, writing
in Outlook, who says:
when their evacuation of Chateau Thierry
became obviously necessary they set about to
destroy and pollute everything within each Re-
member, this is not hearsay; went into Cha
teau Thierry on the heels of the ANGLICAN adj
vance and saw things with my own EYED Every
available, Hunnish, fendish, filthy Thug that
men could do these Huns did in Chateau Thierry
just before they left. The streets wers Uttered
with the private possessions of the citizens
thrown through the windows; every bureau and
eiifonier drawer was rifed and it's co1tents de-
stroyed; in the better-class houses the oaintings
were ripped and the china and porcelain smashed ;
furniture was broken or hacked; mirrors were
shIvered into a thousand fragments mattresses
and upholstery were slashed; richly bond hooks
were ripped; in fact, there was hardly thing
IN the city left intact. The houses of the poor,
IN which the German privates had been billeted
were just as badly pillaged and devastated as the
homes of the well-to-do. The church. grand
enough Tor cathedral had not been spared. It's
paintings and affairs and crucifixes and stations
OF the cross had been ruthlessly battered and de-
MED. Yet even this does not tell the story-a
story which cannot be told to people who respect
oecency-for the Germans left tokens of physical
and mental obscenity in every house visited.

DON'T BE A TRAVEL STACKER


In urging the American people to avoid un
necessary travel so far possible, Theodore H
Price, actuary for the United States railroad ad.
minstration, says:
1T is the patriotic duty of every American
to stay home unless it is imperative he should
travel.
Elimination of unnecessary burdens on our
var transportation system is direct contribu-
8 ION to our fighting strength. The person who
Fegoes a pleasure trip, or a visit to friends or
Wives that would entail travel by rail- is con-
TT lting to the war as effectualy as the person
VIII. buys war savings stamps or Liberty Bonds
In fact, this sacrifice may enable him to double
his help, for with the money which otherwise
would be spent in useless travel he may help
himself as well as the government by buying still
more war stamps bonds.
War has placed upon the railroads tremend-
Gus burden of abnormal traffic, both freight and
passenger. As it is not possible to put a quart
sn pint bottle. - is it impossible to accommo-
date all this essential war traffic and still handle
in full the business which engaged our railroads
in peace-times.
we are carrying some 100000 soldiers and
sailors each month to and from camps and sta
tons and to ports of embarkation That manv
are travelling on government order
we have no accurate figure of the number of
soldiers and sailors travelling at their own ex-
pense on furloughs, ETC., but the number is very
high.
Also, the fathers, mothers, wives and sweet
hearts OF the men in the camps go frequently to |
see them-as they should That is proper war
traffic This new traffic burden amounts TO per- |
haps 100000 passengers monthly.
But there is, in addition to this, greatly in
creased passenger traffic that is neither normal
nor proper Workers making more money
than ever before and there is greater tendency
on their part to visit other cities or see the conn
try. That is drag on Uncle Sans war
strength.
The travel slacker-the man or woman who
travels for pleasure or for any purpose not neces
sary-hurts our efficiency as directly as the
Stacker who wastes food fuel or any other vital
war resource"

GERMAN TRIBUTE

LONDON.-German prisoners cap- tured in the attacks on the St. Mihiel salient state that although they ex- pected the Americans to attack, they did not expect that it would be made so rapidly and that consequently they had no time to complete their preparations for offering a strong resistance, as they were ordered to do by their commanding officers.
 The points in the line of advance which the Germans defended very stubbornly and energetically, were easily captured by the Americans Nothing seemed to be able to stop them as they swept onward through a hail of shot and shell.

It would appear that Ike Mitcham was working on one of the mines on Willow creek under the name of Bailey, and ap- peared to be getting along pretty well. He was recognized and his identity reported to the deputy marshal of Marshal City, who said he could not make the arrest without a warrant. The necessary warrant was sworn out by Fur Warden Cal Townsend and Mitcham, alias Bailey, was arrested and placed in the jail there.
 Townsend told Fernald that Mitch am will be sent to Fairbanks on the next boat bound up the Yukon from St. Michael.

GERMANS COUNTER

Later the Germans made one big counter attack in an attempt to stem the onrushing American tide. They began their protective barrage fire 9 little to early and thus gave the Americans warning of the coming infantry attack and when it did come our lads were more than pre- pared. They met the German rush with a perfect inferno of rifle and machine gun fire and with a wild yell, charged with fixed bayonets into their battered ranks before the Huns had time to recover from the effects of the leaden hail and did terrific execution. The German counter was a signal failure.

BOILER HOUSE |S
 NOW BEING BUILT
New Structure to House Boiler Is Being Built on Commission Yard
 Near Engine House.

The steamer Shusana, which ar rived in Nenana yesterday from Fair banks, brought a 4O-horse power Pennsylvania boiler which had been purchased recently by the A. E. c.
 For the present the boiler will be used for heating the engine house and machine shop and to run the pumps in the engine house. Later when the steam hammer, which has been ordered, is received and set up, will supply steam for the running of this piece of machinery.
 A boiler house is now in course of construction in the Commission yard, between the engine house and the machine shop, sixty feet away from each of those buildings. Gravel is being dumped from the cars for the purpose of raising the floor of the boiler house to the level of the tracks in the yard which have been raised we'll above flood level, and it is expected that the house will be finished and ready for the installing of the boiler in few days.
