whom they wish to serve as Ne nana's first townsite "council'.
 There is little if anything of more real benefit to a town than a rep resentative turnout on election day and it is within the power of the voters of Nenana to give the town a splendid boost tomorrow simply by visiting the polls, the civic duty of every man and woman entitled to the franchise.
 The fact that the advisory board to be elected will not be vested with any real authority should not lessen interest in the election. It is im- portant that our first board be com posed of the wise men of the town. for they will be called upon to ad- vocate reforms and to establish pre- cedents for the future guidance of the town; and their influence will be the greater if they are elected by substantial vote.
 The election of the advisory board will mark an epoch in Nenana. It Is the opening wedge in the towns advance toward local self ooyarn- ment, and the success or failure of the innovation will depend to a great extent, upon the number of ballots cast. So turn out and make the vote olg one. Our voting strength IS valuable asset. but it must be registered at the polls to be of use to us.

LET THEM WORK

During the early stages of the war it was suggested in many quart CTS that dangerous alien enemies within our borders be loaded on to ships and deported from the country, as a means both of safe guarding Europe bound vessels against the submarine menace, and ridding the United States of un- desirables. Such a step might have prevented U-boat attacks on the vessels thus employed and it would certainly have relieved Americans of the responsibility of feeding per sons of pro-German sympathies. But such action also would have strength ened the enemy forces to the extent of the deportations.
 Now it is suggested that some of the prisoners which the Allies are taking on the Western front be transported to this country, where they can be fed more easily than in Europe, and where, possibly, they can be employed to advantage dur ing the absence of our fighting men. If the vessels transporting them sshonld- by chance, he torpedoed on the way across the Atlantic, the kaiser, and not the Allies, would be responsible for any deaths that might result
 Up to a certain point, the pris- oners can be used to advantage in France and England, but to feed thousands of them confined in idle ness in prison camps, seems like a needless tax upon our cargo space, all of which is greatly needed for the transportation of supplies for our overseas forces and those of our allies.
 The Germans doubtless would well come the opportunity to travel far from the scenes of strife on the European battlefields to engage in peaceful labor on this side of the Atlantic. Americans physically un- fit for military service could watch over the prisoners and their earn lngs could be used by our govern men for the prosecution of the war, and by the Red Cross for relief work
 There may be objections to such plan, but it seems like a better solution of the labor problem than the importation of illiterate Mexi- cans, whose presence in this country is at no time desirable and who nav be hard to get rid of after the war is over and normal conditions have been restored.

BRITISH A|RMtN ATTACK IEUTONS:
 SCORE SUCCESS

LONDON.-How a British flying squadron turned the tables on Ger man airmen who had been bombing their aerodrome is related by Lieu tenant W. A. Barnes of the Royal Air Force.
 "We had been giving the Hun a lively time," the officer says, bomb ing his dumps, billets, communica- tions and towns nightly. When, therefore, ne bombed our aerodromc two evenings in succession and com pletly upset all our arrangemnts, 1t was generally agreed that he had scored one over us. Much as his enterprise was admired, however, it was decided to try to check it.
 "The plan evolved was simple. The next day the British airplanes were flown over to neighboring aerodrome, where it was believed they should be safe from raids. Then they started off just after dusk to make reprisal attack.
 "We arrived at the enemy's lair," Lieutenant Barnes narrates, lat a most opportune moment, for a sec ond relay of his machines were just 'taXying' across the ground to take off in the flare path. In our wild est dreams we had not hoped for such luck at this, and every possible advantage was taken of it.
 "A few well-directed bombs, drop ped right in among the machines that were awaiting their turn to take off, set fire to two and badly dam aged others. Another machine was seen to crash whilst actually taking off in the flare path. Some equally weli-directed incendiary bombs set fire to large shed, and then the real fun of the night began.
 By this time the first relay of enemy machines, sent as we after wards learned to bomb our own aerodroma apain haoan tn rat,lrr, As they were on their own side of the line, and in blissful ignorance of the fate of their aerodrome. the 7 were flying with navigation lights full on, thereby giving their position away in the darkness.
 Relieved of our bombs, we were able to give fight, and successfully shot down one in flames. while an- other was distinctly seen to crash on top of a wood. -...
 Having thus paid our debts in full, we left the remainder to land on a bomb-riddled aerodrome-no enviable task at night-while we went off home to celebrate a good nights work, with the comfortine assurance that the R. A. F. were at least 'one up on their adver- saries' game"

FOCH BELIEVES HITTING BOOBIES
 WILL END WAR

General ferdlnand fOcn, Allleu commander in chief, in significant article contributed to the Field, de- clares that battles can be won in the end only by decisive offensive action. The statement, one of the very few made by General Foch since taking his new post. is inter preted as indicating the Allied gen. eralissimo's view of the strategy that will win the war for the Allies. General Foch says:
 Modern warfare, to arrive at it's end and to impose its will on the enemy, recognizes only one means-destructio of the enemy's organized forces. War undertakes and prepares this destruction by battle which brings about the over throw of the adversary, disorganizes his command, destroys his discipline and nullifies his units as far as their fighting power is concerned.
 "Our first axiom must be that completely to achieve it's object, a battle must not be purely defensive. A purely defensive battle, even well conducted, does not result in vic tor and vanquished. It is simply a game that must be begun over again.
 From this it is an obvious corol- lary that an offensive, whether started at the beginning of an ac- tion or whether it follows the de- fensive to fix the direction of at In consequence must always be adopted at the finish. To maintain our position is not synonymous with being victorious and even prepares for a defeat. If we remain where we are and do not pass to the of fenusive to fix the direction of at- tack, to guard against the plans of the enemy and prevent him from carrying out the same maneuver, we must undertake to carry on and sus- tain numerous combats, each with determined aim.
 But since there remains no doubt that decisive attack is the very kev- stone of battle, all other actions which make up a battle must be en- visaged, considered, organized, pro- vlded with forces in the measure in which they will prepare, facilitate and guarantee development of a de- clslve attack characterized bv it's mass, its surprise it's speed and for which, in consequence, it is essential that there shall be the maximum reserve force possible of troops and maneuver. The reserve-that is to say, the prepared bludgeon-is or ganized, and kept carefully instruct ed to execute the single act of bat tie from which results are expected, namely, the decisive attack.
 "Resrves must be husbanded with the most extreme .parsimony so that the bludgeon may be strong enough to make the blow as violent as pos sible. Let loose at the finish, with out any lurking idea of saving them. with well-thought-out plan for win ming the battle at a point chosen and determined, reserves are thrown in all together in an action surpas- sing in violence and energy all other phases of battle, an action with proper characteristics, surprise, mass and speed. All our forces really 1 participate, either by preparing it 1 or by carrying it out.

DISSERTATION OF THE STARS AND
STRIPES. Abraham Caseman, junk
dealer, who is believed to be German
Jew, was before Judge Maurice W. Lord
of the Belfast Municipal Court Saturday
forenoon on the complaint of Walter F.
Trundy of Stockton Springs, charging
the defiling of the American flag by using
parts of it as a fly net on his horse. Case
man, who speaks fairly good English, was
arraigned and plead not guilty. The evil
dence, shown by the testimony of War
Deputy Ernest Mclaughlin, was to the
effect that the Jew appeared early Friday
morning on the streets of Stockton
Springs with parts of the flag on his
horse. He was accosted by Walter F.
Trundy, who advised him to remove it.
Caseman insisted that it was not the
American flag and that it chad no blue
stripes on it" and began to argue as was
his custom. At this juncture McLaugh-
lin took hand in the case and removing
the flag from the horse put it into the
wagon and told the man not to use it for
that purpose again. Mr.. Trundy's testi-
mony substantiated Mr.. McLaughlin's.
Caseman several times attempted to in
terrupt the witnesses and to argue before
the presiding justice, but was told his
place by Judge Lord and was obliged to
keep quiet. He was not represented by
an attorney, but plead his own cause
amounting in substance that he did not
know there was law against using parts
of flag for such purpose. In response
to questions by Judge Lord he said he was
a naturalized citizen, that he belonged in
Dover and that he chad lived in the little
place of Maine for eighteen years with
| out having any trouble in court" Judge
Lord frankly told him he did not believe
he was ignorant in the use of the flag and
fined him $40 and costs of court. He was
also severely admonished by Judge Lord
| to be more careful of his conduct in
Stockton Springs and refrain from giving
offence in any way. It also appeared that
Caseman was on the street Saturday
morning with a net on his horse made
entirely of the Is inch wide white stripes
of the flag. This capped the climax of a
Hong series of minor offences and Case
man was brought over by Deputy Nc
Lauehlin, accompanied by Messrs Trundy
and Leonard La Furley in an auto. The
parts of the forty-foot wool bunting flag
were shown in court, but Caseman denied
all knowledge Of it, even as to where it
came from. He paid his fine and costs.
