NEW LOCOMOTIVE
 READY FOR USE; HAS TRIAL SPIN

The machine shop force who had been engaged in the work of assem- bling locomotive No. POS, received in Nenana last summer from the Outside, have completed the work and she was all ready this morning with steam up to go out on her trial spin, after which, if she is found to be working satisfactorily, she will be sent out to the front to help complete the building of the railroad
 The assembling of the POS took up sixteen working days. Master Mechanic William Muir, who is in charge of the mechanical engineer ing end of the A. E. C., stated that ordinarily it will take from ten to twelve days of steady work to com plete the assembling of one of these locomotives, the longer time taken in the assembling of the POS was due to the fact that the force work ing on her had to be taken off occasionally for other important work in connection with the rail road.
 ;! With the advent of the POS at the front, locomotive Mo- 5, which is switch engine and intended for switching purposes in the Nenana yard, will be sent in to the machine shop for a thorough overhauling. She may remain indoors for the balance of the winter.
 A commencement was made this morning at the machine shop with the work of assembling the other big locomotive received this sum- mer. This locomotive will be known as No. 239, and the work of assem- bling will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible. It is expected that she will be ready for service in about two weeks time.
 The snow blow and Hanger is also being assembled at the machine shop so that it will be in readiness for service on the line when the big snows of the season begin to interfere with traffic on the govern ment ralrod.

LEND TO UNCLE SAM OR GIVE
TO THE KAISER

We must conquer and we must count
no sacrifice too great to make in order
that we may conquer-in order that
the world may be saved from the DOM
ination by power which knows no
God but force and which would know
no mercy for US as a cOnquerd foe.
The money We are asked to lend our
government in Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps is as nothing to the
money we should be forced to give the
German government in indemnities il
we should fell. And the loss of life
in fight to the finish now is less than
will be the loss of life if the struggle
ends without a decision. There can
only be truce and no real peace be-
tween Kaiserism and us, between De-
mocracy and Autocracy, between
Force and Righteousness. If we do
not conquer Germany now, the world
must remain an armed camp through
fear of her until she is conquered, and
our children and our children's child
rem may not see the end of this strug-
gle.-The Progressive Farmer.

U=BOATS in u. S. WATERS
Unofficial Adyices That War Zone to DC
Declared along Eastern American
Coast and Neutral Nations
Duly Warned.

Washington, June 13.-1n view OF
what has been happening during the
past few weeks, officials here tonight
were inclined to regard as bit OF
grim humor the report from Berlin,
via Holland, that the German govern
ment is about to declare the eastern
American coast a danger zone and tc
warn neutral shipping of its purpose.
Raiding submarines have already
served warning of the ,.snser in more
forceful terms than Berlin could tor
mulate in a diplomatic communica-
ton. Several of the Is vessels sunk
by the raiders were neutrals, carrying
no war supplies Neutral governments
are not likely to have overlooked that
fact, warning or no warning.
| 1t is recognized, however, that the
Forthcoming warning" may prove to
by formal announcement of zone
in American waters, where ruthless
sinkings of all ships is to be the order

menace off Atlantic ports through reg
ular submarine patrols.
Officials here have been fully awake
to the fact that such patrols could be
maintained if the German authorities
thought the results obtainable justi-
fed diverting a, large number of boats
from operations off the French and
British coasts. 1t has been figured
out that by starting a new raider or
flotilla of raiders every five days,
one link in the endless chain of u
boats always would be on duty in
American waters.
Such operations would mean that
for every boat actively engaged on
this side, there would be several on
the way over and several more on the
way back to Germany, none of which
would have any substantial value
while enroute in either direction On
this account, navy officials generally
have discounted the patrol idea.

Berlin Paper Laments Effect of Crush.
ing Germanism In America.

Washington, June 13.-In the crush
ing out of Germanism in the United
States the Koelnische VOlks Zeitung
sees e disaster in a measure balancing
the Teutonic military successes. An
official dispatch from France today,
commenting Oh pessim:stic discussion
in the German press of events in the
United States, quotes the VOlks lei
tung, as follows:
"Mr. Wilson hopes to succeed in
crushing the German elements. He
will succeed The German press is al
ready nearly crushed out of existence
in America. The greater part of the
German schools are closed. The Ger
man associations are having to strip
themselves of all vestiges of German
ism. 1t is a complete debachle.
"It is unnecessary to be pessimis-
tic to realize that the consequences
of our European victories are in a
measure balanced by the sum total of
lOSSco we udVc SuAcIcu III AMCl iCd
All this could have been foreseen.
After the war Germans will no
longer be able to enter America. The
Hamburg-American and North Ger
man Lloyd lines are entered in the
black book. Shipbuilding yards and
, offices have been sold with the pro-
hibition of reselling to Germany after
the war The American press speaks
of forbidding Germans to buy ship
building yards. 1t will be the end of
German transatlantic commerce.
Besides these maritime forces,
German estates representing millions
of dollars. stocks of copper, nickel,
cotton, leather and chemical products
have been seized and utilized to fabri-
cate American war materials"
