The local draft board, r. l.. May.
nard chairman and z. A. Nisbet Sec
rotary, has received new orders from
Major Joel Mallet, of Atlanta, i'll
charge of the draft administration for
the state, which appear to indicate
an early dissolution of the board,
The new orders, which were re-
cssved this morning instruct all 10
cal boards to complete classification
work as to all registrants of both
the 1885 year and the IS year groups
They are instructed to forward no
more cases to the district board no.
to allow any further appeals. kll
further physical examinations are
cancelled. No questionnaires will be
received by the board after that date,
when the records will be sealed.
The orders appear to mean that the
local boards, on account of the end
ing of the war and the movement now
o.. tc discharge large part of the
army now in existence are to prepare
for going out of existence at an early
date.

WHY GERMANY CANT
 WIN

The Germans can never win this war. Even if the kaiser defeats Italy; even if he defeats France: even if he makes peace with Russia apd Rumania; even if he continues to have his way in tha Balkans and Poland-even then the kaiser will rot be in as strong posi- 1ion as Napoleon once was, says "Furm aud Fireside.'
 And Napoleon, his armies bled white with victories, was finally defeated, and spent his last days in exile at St. Helena.
 Eveu though the kaiser should be victorious on land, it would be short lived, and the spoils would have to be returned and full reparation made WhyY Simply because the United States, Great Britain and Japan can still shut the Germans from the seas. With free access to the raw material resources of practically the whole world, the Allies can maintain an eco homie blockade of Germany until the German people will establish a peoples government with which lasting peace can be made. Tho United Stales and Great Britain will never surrender If worse comes to worst. they vii! con tinue the war against kaiserism on the sea and in the air until the Germans will gladly make a lasting peace.
 But the kaiser hasn't defeated Italy. He hasn't defeated France. The Allies are getting stronger every day as the United States throws her gigantic weight of man power and resources against the kaiser, while tho Germans were at their zenith in the opening days of the war three and one-half years ago, and are getting just that much weaker every day
 The same thing that defeated Napo- leen will defeat the kaiser What? Sea power. No, the Germans can never win this war.

OFFER OF LEASE OF ALASKA
 COAL LANDS TO BE MADE SOON

Official Bulletin, Jan. 3l: Secretary Lane, of the Interior department, an nounced today that the work of sur veying and dividing into leasing units the more accessible part of the Nenana coal field, Alaska, has been completed, and that as soon as the data is printed the lands that have been divided into leasing blocks will be offered for lease under the provisions of the Alaska coal land leasing law act of October 20 1914 (3S Stat, TAI, Announcements of the offer for lease is promised in the near future.
 The area to be offered comprises ap- proximutely l9,O0O acres of land divided into g blocks or tracts, ranging from l60 to l,G04 acres, each block being in such form as is believed 10 permit the most economical mining. A leaso under the law can not exceed 2,560 acres, and many inclnde one or moro contiguous leasing blocks.
 The lands to be offered for leasing constitute the more accessible and im mediate minablo part of the surveyed lands of the Nenana coal field, and are in I. II S., Rs. ,, 6, and ', and T. 12 S., R. w., Fairbanks meridian. They lie in the valley of Lignite creek, a tributary of the Nenana river, extend ing up the creek from it's mouth for about F miles. The mouth of the creek is on the approved surveyed route of the Government railroad from Seward to Fairbanks, at point about 364 miles from the coastal terminus at Seward and about lOG miles from the inland terminus of the railroad at Fair banks. While it is not possible to state when the railroad between Fairbanks and Seward will be finished, it is be- lieved that the summer of 1918 will see the portion of the road complete cd from the coal field to Tanana river, thus making this coal available for barge shipment to Fairbar ks and other river towns.
 The geologists who have examined this field report that the coal occurs in many beds of various thicknesses up to 30 or 5 feet, there being at least l2 beds of workable thickness, of which probably at least 6 are over 20 feet thick. The coal bearing rocks are only gently folded and no intrusive rocks are known to cut them.
 The coal of this field is Ignite of fair grade. While it is not suitable for ex- port, it will furnish valuable and much needed fuel in portions of interior Alaska that are now dependent on a scanty and expensive supply of wood.
