LONDON, May 29-If there are in England any descendants of the little band of Pilgrims who sailed in the Mayflower 29S years ago, they are difficult to discover. An American woman living in London has been trying to find them, and with that object she inserted advertisements asking any 'Mayflowers" now in Lon don to meet her at a hotel at a cer- tain hour.
 The appointed hour came, and the American women waited. A moving picture photographer, several news paper photographers and a dozen re- porters arrived and were mistakenly enthusiastically greetd as May flowers. There was an air of eager expectancy and suppressed excite mont. Everybody waited for forty five minutes, but not single May flower" appeared. There were signs of disappointment.

Kaiser Bill and His Tribe Will Leave Holland Soon For Exile
 In Parts Unknown,

AMSTERDAM.-The presence of the former German kaiser and his family in Holland has been the cause of considerable embarrass ment to the government of the Netherlands, and the former Ger man monarch was made aware of the state of affairs.
 He realized that Holland, as a strictly neutral country in the late war, did not relish the idea of giving him refuge; and seeing that the safety of himself and family in Holland was not very secure, decided to change his abode.
 The entire Hohenzollern dynasty expect to leave Holland soon for a destination that is not known at the present time.

The magnificent ships of the late German navy then steamed majesti- cally between the twin column of Allied ships and entered the Firth of Forth, coming to an anchor un- der guard as prisoners.
 It was the most gigantic naval surrender in the worlds history, and marked the climax of Ger many's downfall.
 Men who were animated by Law rence's immortal order Don't give up the ship, but faintly grasped the full significance of the sur render and could not conceive of such an inglorious fate to which Germany submitted
 An Associated Press correspond ent who was present at the memor- able surrender, heard an American officer exclaim that even the poor Spaniards, who fully realized that they did not have chance in the world, steamed out of Santiago de Cuba and gave battle to the Ameri- can fleet, and fought until every vessel of their squadron was sunk
 The surrender of the heart of the once mighty German fleet has raised the United States to the second place among the worlds naval powers.

NAVAL SURRENDER
 VERY HUMILIATING

EDINBURGH, Scotland. - The most humilating event in the world s history was witnessed by a con- course of people, whose numbers it will be exceedingly difficult to estimate, when the pride and glory of the German navy as represented by fourteen gigantic ships of the line, seven light cruisers and fifty destroyers uninjured in any way and in full fighting trim, steamed across the North Sea from the Ger man naval base at Kiel and sur rendered to the mighty Allied ar mada, and Germany, as a naval power, ceased to exist.
 The Allied armada which steamed out to meet the surrendering Ger man ships was composed of the most powerful units of the British, American and French ships of war. against which no power on earth could prevail. It was the greatest fighting force that ever went to sea.
 The German ships approached the rendezvous, steaming in column almost twenty miles long. As soon as the oncoming German warships were sighted, the Allied armada, at a signal from the Flagship, formed twin columns; extending from near the entrance to the Firth of Forth to a point away out to sea, the ships forming the ends of each column being invisible to each other.

CLUB MEMBERS ID ENTERTAIN AT
 JOLLY SMOKER

Tomorrow night, immediately after the picture show, the Nenana Com mercial club will be host at a smoker at Union Hall. The enter tainment planned has, as it's keynote, the combination of business with pleasure, and some of the stunts arranged by the committee, if rumor is to be believed, are said to be real head-liners.
 This smoker marks the initiation of a campaign planned by the club which will have for it's object the fostering of more active interest on the part of property owners in the affairs of the town. It is realized that Alaska will probably be the Mecca of many from the States now the war is over, and the Commercial Club believes that Nenana should take steps to see that it gets its share of the increase in population of the territory.
 As only limited number can be accommodated at the kind of enter tainment planned at this first smoker it has been made an invitational affair, the names of about thirty guests" of the club being drawn from a hat. For the next drive different set of guests will be in- vited.
 There have been no invitations sent to members of the Commercial Club, but every member is expected to be on hand.
