LOANS WIN NENANA AN
 HONOUR FLAG
Find Out That Nenana Has Almost Doubled Her
 Quota.

G. F. Cramer is in receipt of ad- vices from Washington, D. C., to the effect that the quota set for Ne mana in the Liberty Loan bond drive was S15,000. As the amount sub scribed already is more than S26,000, the town is certain of honor flag with one star and may get more if the quota can be doubled
 Only four thousand dollars in sub scriptiors are needed to double the amount needed any any Nenanaites who have not dug down as yet, are urged to do so now, so that Nenana be up along the first on the honor roll of cities.

SULzER SHOWS
 LONG LEAD IN
 PRIMARY VOTE
Fourth Division Returns Show That Maloney Was Not Popular
 At Polls.

The returns thus far received from the various voting precincts through out the Fourth division show that Delegate Sulzer has defeated Will liam Maloney by a large majority, the vote standing at present, 1505 for Sulzer and 445 for Maloney. The total vote reported to date in the Fourth division for Wickersham is 335.
 The voting was light at all points, the voters of Nenana having made showing much above the average. There were only about 150 votes cast in Fairbanks. Nenanaites cast 1855 votes.
 The returns give Louis K. Pratt a lead of 39 votes over O. P. Gaus- tad for the Republican nomination for senator, the former having 169 and the latter 130. In the Demo- cratic contest for road commissioner Bob Sheldon has 405 votes and Peter Steil 72. The nomination of Sheldon is conceded. In the Republican con- test for the same office H. H. Ross has received thus far 227 votes and Harry Grow 101. The nomination of Ross is conceded.
 The complete vote will not be known for some time, but returns re- ceived from the several divisions thus far practically insure the nomi- nation of Delegate Sulzer, as the regular candidate of the Democratic party for delegate to congress at the November election.

Germans Claim That Ukraine Gov ernment Is Too Weak to

LONDON, May 2.-According to advices received in this city today, the Germans have established mili- tary rule at Kiev, capital of Uk- raine, and German officers are now in complete charge of that city.
 This action was taken by the Teu- tons, according to their explanation to the people of Ukraine, because of the inability of the Ukraine gov ernment to maintain law and order,
 There was loud objection to the action of the Germans and some re- sistance on the part of members of the Ukraine government, a number of whom have been placed under ar rest to prevent their further acti- vities.

Advices received from Fairbanks this afternoon state that the Roland stage is scheduled to leave the upper town for Nenana tonight, on the last trip of the season. The stage will start with a considerable quan, tity of freight and consignment of second class mail matter.
 This probably will be the last trip attempted by Roland, owing to the rapidity with which the trails are now going to pieces under the in fluence of the sun.

A DAY IN CAMP
fCantfaued from pane 0uel

men may be inferred from the fact
that many are detained for treat
ment, who would seem TO the ordi-
nary observer perfectly sound and
in some cases had been so declared
by their home doctors.
A visit TO the various Y.M.C.A.
huts, to the Hostess house, TO the
canteens, the Commisary ware
houses, the soldiers tents and the
officers quarters reveals the every
day life at an army camp.
One meal was taken with the
Y.M.C.A. secretaries and another
with the men in their mess hall.
The writer did not prove very adept
in handling the dishes, which are
filed before sitting at the table. The
dish with boiled potatoes dropped
on the floor, to the amusement Of
the boys. They took their guest in
very cordially, however. The food,
though plain. is good.
On the grounds are TO be found
trenches, scouting holes and every
thing that a soldier finds on the real
war front. They practice the use Of
the bayonet on dummies, constructed
of bundles of sticks and they leap
over walls and up the sides of banks
to see how well they can do it and
keep their guns. The regular drill
was not much in evidence, because
of the transition condition of the
camp.
At the close of the day, the regi-
ment band and the buglers sound
the retreat and play the Star Spang-
led banner, the guards have been
assigned TO their positions and the
camp settles down for the night
In the Y.M.CA. huts, are entertain
ments of various kinds. religious
services or special programs.
The writer met Mr.. Stafford. for

Co. who has just been transferred
from Baltimore. He is one of the
buglers of the regiment. in good
health, and remembers all the home
folks. So interested was the writer
in all that was going on, that he
forgot to remove his hat when the
band played "The Star Spangled
Banner" and nearly had a chance
to feel the rigid military discipline
but fortunately escaped the fate Of
a pro-German, all in the experience
OF a day.

THE MISSING FACES

Have you noticed that the old
town isn't altogether what IL used
TO be2 That somehow there is a
difference when you go down street?
That the old places are subdued and
quiet, less busy and noisy? That,
go where you will, the club, the
bowling alley, the billiard parlor,
anywhere, there is the same subtle
sense of change
The old voices no longer hail you
with such eager challenge, such
royal welcome, such whole souled
good fellowship; the old smiles no
longer bring you the same sense Of
old hand clasps on the shoulder no
longer bring on the same sense Of
comradeship and friendly interest.
Something seems to have slipped
silently out of life.
For scores of the old faces are
missing: faces that you knew and
loved the best.
They are "over there" in the
khaki-clad ranks that are slowly
pushing the gray Hun line backward
toward the Rhine. They are taking
up the burden of civilization, of
democracy and freedom; the liberia
ton of a half world threatened with
enslavement; the perpetuation of our
own national liberty and safety.
The overthrow of Kaiserdom.
And Some of them are never to
come back
None of us will ever forget these
missing faces; the fact of our
friends, our brothers, our sweet
hearts, our husbands and fathers.
All of us will hope TO welcome them
home again, triumphant from the
firing line, the jaws of death, the
literal mouth of the inferno.
Nor must any of us forget them
in the coming Liberty Loan drive.
For it is TO strengthen them and
their fight, TO hurry their ultimate
victory and to speed their return,
that these bonds are to be offered.
That and that alone.
Remember these missing faces
those faces that we love.
And bring at once your savings for
the loan.

ALLIES NOW HAVE BOMBING
PLANES WORKING IN
SQUADR0NS

There were no aerial bombing Or
CARNATIONS in the allied flying
corps during the first year Of the
war. Practically all the work in
the air was in the nature Of OBJ
servation. No pilots could be spared
for anything else. Today, probably
25 per cent Of the aerial arms are
bombing squadrons of ~ machines
per squadron.
The first bombing was done by
volunteer pilots who flew over the
German lines and dropped three or
four bombs, made from artillery
shells, on concentration camps and
environments. Showers Of small
steel arrows were spilled, sometimes
on conveys. troop trains, and bodies
OF massed men. The Germans be-
gan day bombing of cities in 1915.
and the allies bombarded Karlsruhe
in reprisal later in the same year.
Since then, evolution in organized
bombing developed rapidly and the
French began night bombing, but
this was not undertaken by the Ger
mans until August 1916.
AT the present time, large groups,
including several squadrons Of
bombing machines go over the lines
from time TO time, and completely
destroy their objective, be il a city,
or a camp, a column Of troops, or
trench system. Unfortunately, the
allies air forces have 10 travel for

they all told him their vows as soon
as they made them and he was sup
posed to be a sort OF referee as TO
whether they kept them or not.
During my second stunt In the front
lines things got pretty bad. The Ger
mans were FIVE TO our one and they
kept pushing back parts OF the line
and cleaning out others. And the
weather was as bad as II could be
and the food did not always come reg
ularly. Now, before they took their
vows. every last man In the bunch
would have been kicking and growing
all the time. but. as It was. the only
time they growled was when the Ger
mans pushed US back.
Things kept getting worse and you
could see that the men talked to the
chaplain more and quite few OF them
got real chummy with him.

heavy.
II a man was slightly wounded down

did not go very well after he was

in which the chaplain was wounded.
He was one OF the bunch that charged
before the order was given, when the

swing at him with his rifle, but the
Swiss dropped on one knee and lodged
It. He kept defending himself with
his rifle, but there was another Ger
man on him by this time and he could
not get up. The corporal of our squad
came up just about that time, but he
was too late, because one Of the
Boches got TO the Swiss with his bay
onet. He did not have time to with
draw Il before our corporal stuck him.
The other German made a pass at the
corporal. but he was too late. The
corporal beat him to II and felled him
with a terrific blow from his rifle butt.
The Huns were pretty thick around

self came up. A Boche swung his rife

the Boche almost got me. The swing

who had fallen. landed on his face
with both feet and gave 1t to the next
one with his bayonet all at the same
time. He was the quickest man ever

there was some force In that kick.
