WOMEN OF NENANA
 KNIT FOR TROOPS

Following the example of other Alaskan towns and thousands of towns throughout the States, the women of Nenana have started a knitting campaign for the benefit of the American soldiers in France. The work was started at a meeting held last Tuesday and at another meeting held on Friday, at Grace church, the work was further out lined. Yarn was distributed at the first meeting, but there was not enough to supply all the ladies de- string to knit and these will have to wait until more yarn and needles can be received from Fairbanks.
 Mrs. R. H. Hildebrand and Mrs. G. F. Cramer have been appointed representatives of the Red Cross to look after the work in Nenana. An other meeting of the ladies will be held next Friday.
 Every woman in Nenana who would like to learn to do such knit ting as is being done for the Red Cross service may do so, by coming to Grace church any afternoon next week at 2:30 o'clock. The local Red Cross has arranged to have ex- perienced knitters on hand at the above place and hour, every day ex- cept Saturday, to instruct the un- learned in the art of Red Cross knit ting, so that by the time the new supply of yarn arrives there will be a large company of fully informed knitters ready to turn it into com fortable articles for "The Sammies.'

COLLIER PLAY
 FOR SUNDAY NIGHT

William Collier, celebrated Broad way star, will make his appearance at the Coliseum tomorrow night in the Triangle feature, "The No-Good Guy," five reel comedy which was written especially for him by c. Gardenr Sullivan.
 The story concerns youth whose large fortune is held in trust by a double-crossing uncle. The hero leads rather a wild life until he is brought to a halt by command to go to work or starve. Rather than suffer the pangs of hunger, he opens detective agency and finally wins success and very pretty girl. The winning is not easy, however, and the many adventures he has make the comedy, most exciting. And in cidently, the crooked old uncle is forced to come through with the fortune which he Sas been withhold ing from his wayward ward. As a curtain raiser, the manage. ment will show a Paramount split reel, one part of which will consist of a comedy skit.
 l Rev. Robert Joseph Diven will ad dress the audience during the last intermission, in four-minute talk i The price of admission will be fifty cents, with a quarter extra for re. served seats. The show will start at 8:30 o'clock.

CONSTRUCTION STARTED
 AT 43-MILE CROSSING

Under the direction of Kenneth Case, residency engineer, the work of building the new bridge across the Nenana river at 43-Mile cross ing was started last month. Pile driver Number 1 with a crew of twelve men will handle the work with Charles Warmenson as fore. man. The logs are on the ground and the crews will start in the ice immediately.
 In speaking of the possibilities of putting on the big crews again Superintendent Packer stated that at present there is crew of men working with the piledriver at 20 mile and Lost Slough, building the dam. When the dam is completed it will put an end to all the ice and water troubles which have been ex. perienced there and the big crews will at once be put to work on the track laying. MT. Packer says that the only reason the men were moved to 43-Mile was in order to take ad. vantage of cold weather, so that the work could be completed while there was plenty of ice. The driver and thawing crew at 20-Mile approxi. mate 40 men. Ike Taylor is resi-. dency engineer in charge.

PATRONS URGED
 TO RETURN BOOKS

The library management wishes to call the attention of subscribers to the fact that there are always quite number of books that are held beyond the two weeks allowed.
 If the book is fiction this is not permissible; if it is a book other than fiction it is the subscribers duty to have it renewed at the end of the two weeks period, in case it is desired to retain the book longer.
 Under the present conditions it will work a decided hardship on those who are looking after these books, if they are compelled to keep a close check on subscribers to pre- vent this condition.
 This does not rigidly apply to those not in town, but these latter also, should make every effort to return the books immediately when read, within the two weeks period if at all possible.
 To retain the books longer than the period of two weeks is unfair to other subscribers.
 It tends to make the library itself unsatisfactory and unpopular; due to the carelessness of a few. You are courteously and hopefully requested to return all overdue books Today; and to resolve to do better next time.

A Righteous Judgment
[From the Chester (Pa.) Times. ]

[From the Chester (Pa.) Times.1
THE man who brought this ca
tastrophe on the world should oe
strung up by the neck"
This is not the verdict of any
rabid Kaiser hater. 1t is the opin-
ION of the Kaiser himself, given to
an American to whom he was accus-
toned to talk freely.
1t need not be inferred that the
words werc spoken in an unwonted
moment of contrition. The Kaiser
was not confessing his guilt and in
viting punishment for his own great
crime. He was flatly. denying his
responsibility. That man." he con-
tinued instantly, '1s not I, as the
world seems to think"
This strange utterance was made
apropos of nothing whatever. 1t
wa splainly the impulsive outburst
of q guilty conscience. shrinking
from the worlds accusation.
We heed not concern ourselves un-
duly with the problem of Hohenzol-
lern psychology. Suffice it to say
that the Kaiser has pronounced a
righteous judgment, which all his
clamorous denials and tricky subter-
fuges cannot evade. The Allies
should take him at his word. Moth
ing less will fully expiate the crime
and cure the evil of criminal autoc-
racy.

WHEAT BREAD FOR A. E. F.

The American Army in France is
getting good soft bread, made from
pure wheat flour. There are several
reasons why it is not advisable to
carry out the wheatsaving substl-
tute rule in bread baking overseas.
Field bakers must work swiftly, anJ
cannot afford to experiment with
new flour mixtures. Every effort is
made by the Subsistence Division of
the Quartermaster Corps to give
these bakers the best material pos
sible, and to make the baking pro-
cess simple and standard. Our
troops IN the United States have been
getting the prescribed amount of
substitutes in their bread, and it
has proved satisfactory. Here, bak-
ers are definitely located and can
easily work out mixtures that will
produce good bread. The daily ra-
ton for soldiers of the A. e. F. is
eighteen ounces of wheat -four for
soft bread. This has proved to be
more than enough. and a reduction
to sixteen ounces per day is now
under consideration. The army sup
ply of flour at this time is 100 per
cent. abundant at every place along
the line, from the mills to the battle
lines in France. Every requirement

JAMES HOPPER, IN CoLLIER'S WEEKLY

dering of the past week-new bat

silken, tearing. whistling sound,
which seemed to travel long time,
then passed overhead, and turned to
hard and abrupt explosion on the
plateau above and behind us. An
other followed, another, twenty,

a great whistling clamor, though the
work held still, in some indefinablc
but clear manner, q character of re-
serve and observant precision, of
something formidable in leash.
At the same time, as if a curtain
had been raised, the morning came
to its full light-a perfect morning,
light blue sky dappled here and
there with very delicate white clouds
and again from the west, but from
the high depths of it, the planes
gave them a waferlike thinness: you
looked ut one, then suddenly knew
there We're three; looked at three
and suddenly knew there were nine

SLACKERS?

The heart of Nc. McAdoo was in
the right place when he called all
who sell their Liberty Bonds slack
ers. But his tongue missed accuracy
by good bit.
1t is true that no American should
sell his LIBERTY Bonds If he can pos
sibly avoid doing so. He should
think twice and dig deep into his re-
sources before adopting this last re-
sort. But there are cases of neces-
sity where an American is perfectly
justified in turning over his bonds
and need have no sensation of guilt
from doing so. Any number of us
overbid our hands in the first flush
of enthusiasm for Liberty Loan.
This may have been indiscreet, but
these oversubscriptions, from the in
dividuars viewpoint, were we'll
meant and should certainly entail no
recriminations as a consequence. In
some cases there was nothing for a
bondholder to do except convert his
bond into cash when the pinch came
and he found IL impossible to be as
patriotic as he hoped.
The country needs all the strain
ing to save and invest that it's men.
women and children are capable of.
The risk of this Stacker talk is that
in future loans Americans will hold
back and not subscribe to their limit
for fear of incurring somebody's
curse If they should fail of their
hopes and be compelled to sell out.
The situation calls for sense and
clear statement, not indiscriminate te
name-calling, we suggest.

Mr.. Roosevelt's distribution of the
Nobel Peace Prize money, which
Congress recently returned to him, is
characteristic. He realizes how
small, comparatively speaking, the
total sum is If measured by the ne
cessities of the time; and so he Sc
lects, not one or two war activities
for remembrance, but a very inclu-
sive list. with the view of apprecist-
ing and encouraging all. The Red
Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the Salvation

the Jewish Welfare Board are
among the more obvious of these.
But Mr.. Roosevelt's sympathies have
SO wide a range that he does not for
get the needs of Belgium, Serbia.
RumanIa. Armenia, the victims of
German cruelty in France, the Rus
slams, the Czecho- -Slovaks, and a
large number of more or less per-
sonal entertainprises in which war

Alas! and Aldck!
[Col. Harvey's War Weekly

lCol. iarVeyS war weekly
The telegraph and telephone serv-
ice of the United States has long
been a legitimate source of national
pride. 1t was unmatched anywhere
in the world. OF this admirable eff
cheney the company of which Mr..
Mackay was the head was typical.
That fine plant has now passed out
of the control of those who built up
the splendind organization from the
very beginning and developed it to
a degree of perfection in operation
which, like that of the Bell Tele-
phone Company, was about as near
perfection as anything in the way of
a public utility we'll could be.
From the experienced and capable
hands its management has been turn
ed over to Mr.. Burleson. What Mr.
Burleson will do with it, alas, we
know not. What he has done to the
mail service, alas, we do know. Mr..
Mackay, in a very modest way, pleads
for the continuance in employment
of those who have made the Postal
what it is. In terms even more mod
est and elf-obliterating, he offers
his own services and his inestimably
valuable administrative experience
quite free of compensation to the
government. But it seems we are to
have the inestimably valueless serv-
ices and experience of Mr.. Burleson
instead. And what applies to the
Postal in the matter of this threat
ened Burlesonian blight applies, of
course, to the Western Union and to
the superb Bell Telephone organiza-
ton. What particular form of hash
Mr.. Burleson will make of it all, If
he maintains the high standard of
wrecking efficiency he has establish
ed in the handling of the mails. must
remain matter for gloomy specula-
ton.
