CLUB STARTS DRIVE
 FOR ROAD BUILDING

A permanent road committee, whose duty it shall be to gather data and report on the feasibility of constructing roads into the va rious districts adjacent to Nenana, was appointed by Chairman R. S. Mcdonald, at the regular weekly meeting of the Nenana Commercial club last night; and the five mem bers entrusted with this important work will enter upon their duties immediately. NJ. J. Cooney, who has had charge of cutting a winter trail from Nenana Crossing to Broad Pass, to connect with the Anchorage trail on the coast side of the Pass, was appointed chairman of the committee and his associates are Martin Nash, George Martin, William Julian and H. B. Joseph.
 The urgent need of roads-to facili- tate the development of the Kan tishna and other districts tributary to Nenana was suggested by Freder- 1ck D. Browne, engineer in charge of rail construction on the Interior end of the government project. He considerable sum of money has been asked of Congress by the war department for road building in Alaska, and he advised that steps be taken immediately by the club to secure a portion of the funds for the improvement of transportation facilities in the nearby districts, where there are no roads at present. He said further that the Alaskan Engineering commission would well come the opportunity to cooperate with the Alaska Road commission in the construction of wagon road feeders for the railroad, and he assured the club that he would do what he could to help get the work started.

MASltR CHARGEU WITH BARRATRY BY cONS|GNEtS
Captain McAlpine, of Schooner Ruby Will Be Tried In Alaska
 On Serious Charge.
Associated Press)

SEATTLE. The Kuskokwim Trading and Transportation com pany filed complaint today charg- ing Captain D. s. McAlpine with having unlawfully disposed of part of the cargo of the schooner Ruby
 The alleged offense is stated to have been committed by the captain when in trying to reach the mouth of the Kuskokwim river he was forced by stress of weather to make the port at Seward, during last September.
 Captain McAlpine, when arrested today, denied the charge preferred against him. The case against the captain will be tried in Alaska.
The Nenana daily news., 1918-12-21

Mr. Browne already has rendered the town of Nenana invaluable serv- ice in the way of building wagon roads and trails, and his endorse ment of the clubs enlarged road building program will assist very materially in securing the trans portation relief now sought by the local organization.
 More than year ago the Com mercial club started a movement for the construction of a wagon road into the Kantishna country, but after receiving the assurance of the territorial road commissioner for the ourth division that he would in- vestigate the matter. no further ac- tion was taken. Letters also were written at that time to the Alaska Road commission, but without re- suit
 The road commission probably will have more funds than usual next season for road building, and it is the intention of the Commercial club to try to have a substantial district; difaTct aelRlRRs9rti9ned ellRs 9l to the Nenana war department road builders An other appeal also probably will be made for territorial assistance, and with a new commissioner on the job, the outlook for aid from that source is regarded as considerably more encouraging than when the previous request for funds was made. The club, moreover, is now better able to carry on such a cam paign than at any time since it's organization, and the members are fully aroused to the importance of wagon road construction as means of speeding development in the promising districts tributary to the government railroad and Nenana.

 FIVE PRINCIPALS
Postponement Until After the Peace A Conference of Five of Wilson's
 Principles Is Urged.
Associated Press

ASSOC1aleu PreSS
 WASHINGTON, D. C.-Republi- can Senate Leader Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts,, in a speech delivered before the Senate today, declared that five of Wilson's four teen principles on which the terms of peace are to be based, might lead to a split among the Allies, and thought that the consideration of these five principles should be postponed until after the peace con- ference
 The five principles referred to by Senator Lodge as being likely to cause some trouble, concern secret doplomacy, freedom of the seas, economic barriers, reduction of armaments and the league of na- tions.
 The senator said that no treaty can be binding upon America with out the consent of the Senate to its r terms, and declared that untoward results could be avoided if the Sen ate expressed itself frankly before any treaty is entered into.
 Referring to the United States navy, he said that we no longer need a navy on the Atlantic coast, but that we need a powerful fleet in the Pacific.
 In concluding his speech, he said that President Wilson is committing a grave error in ignoring the Senate of the United States.

In the little country village where 1 spent part of my summer, the Red Cross holds it's weekly meetings to sew and knit for the soldiers, Tuesdays.
 On Thursday, the Library Sewing Circle holds a meeting for the same purpose.
 I was talking to one of the village women about the work one day and asked her which organization had turned cut the most work
 She laughed &'"There isn't much reason that almost the same women come to both. There are about twen- " women who show up at every meet ing of both.''
 oufely there are more than twenty women in the village who could do that sort of work?'
 Isn't 1t So in Your Town?
 There certainly are," she affirmed, ana some ot them come once in a While, but lots of them never can manage to find the time, somehow. We have a Ladies' Aid in both churches besides the Library Club and the Red Cross and it's just about the same twenty women that are the back bone of all Of them. Queer, isn't it |? I often wonder if it's the same every- where else"
 Naturally I couldn't speak for everywhere else.
 But I could speak for half a dozen places and I could tell her that it was emphatically the same there.
 I once worked in a Woman Suf- frage organization. I was asked to appOrtion out some work among the members and was given the member ship roll as g, basis. I was delighted
