commanding his company. FROM
what can ascertain from those
who saw him, say he as first
wounded in the chest by a machine
gun and had started to the rear
when a shell struck close by and Ind
was killed.
Captain Pearce went to his UNI

Of a winter trail between ends Of
steel on the main line and the in
auguration Of an advertising cam
paign which had resulted in the di-
version Of considerable traffic to
the Nenana-Anchorage shortcut
route to the coast. Al the present
time, Mr.. Mcdonald stated. the dis

more than 100 miles. and on each
end of the trail there has been con
structed by the Alaskan Engineer
ing commission a considerable num-
Der Of miles of good wagon road

Mr. Mcdonald also called atten-
ton to the fact that the Nenana
Commercial club was the first or
ganization to recognize the import
ance of opening up the Happy trail
into the Tolovana district and took
the initiative in interesting the Alas
Ia Road commission in the work,
which is now practically completed.
More than $4,000 has been expend-
ed by the road commission in doing
the necessary work, and it is ex-
pected that all winter travel TO and
from the Tolovana district hence
forth will go by way of the Happy
trail, which is the shortest and best
route into the Tolovana, with de-
cided advantages in favor of Ne
mana.
The club, it was pointed out, also
has been for some time and is still
campaigning for wagon road into

with the Government railroad, and

PARIS. Dec. S.-Announcement
is made today that the Allies have
consented to make certain changes
in the terms of the protocol sub
mitted to the Germans last weeH,
and to which the Germans vigor-
ously objected.
The clause providing for indemni-

The Hague to decide whether or
not the demanded Indemnity in ton

The meeting was opened by Presi-

the guests in the name of the club

Mr.. Mcdonald explained why the

the result.
The work of the club was re-

cessful conclusion, resulting, in the
aggregate, in much benefit to the
town and community. One of the

MANY TRAINS STOP.

CHICAGO, Dec s.-Hundreds of
passenger trains have been with
drawn since the commencement Of
the coal strike, most of the curtail-
ment having taken place in the
Middle West, South. and Southwest.
Three hundred trains are to be can
celed in New England on Wednes-
day as means of further conserva-
ton of the limited coal supply.
Il is estimated that $4,000 train
miles monthly have been saved by
cancellations since the commence

The second annual smoker and
get-together meeting Of the Nenana
Commercial club, which took place
al Union hall on Saturday night,
was one Of the most largely at
tended affairs of the kind ever en-
joyed in Nenana, and helped ma
terially, it is believed, to enlighten
non-members regarding the work
that has been accomplished by the
organization during the compare
lively short time that it has been
in existence. That was the object
of the smoker-to let the public
know what has been done and what
the club hopes to do, and those
present were given very cordial
invitation to become members, in
order that the influence of the club
might be strengthened for the good
of the town and the district.
The smoker was attended by more
than 200 persons, thoroughly repre-
sentative of the community By
ten o'clock every available seat in
the hall was occupied, and it was
necessary TO bring in a number of
extra benches for the accommoda-
ton of those standing. The invita-

tirely the work Of the Nenana Com
mercial club.
The club also was instrumental

management and the Alaskan En-
gineering commission, which exer-
cises general supervision over all
towns along the Government rail
road during the period of railroad
construction.
The splendid mail service be-
tween the towns of Nenana and
Fairbanks, prior 10 the completion
of the Government railroad north
of Nenana, Mr., Mcdonald pointed
out, had resulted directly from the
efforts of the club, the members of
the organization having supplied all
of the agitation and most of the
funds required to carry the mail,
launches having provided practically
a daily service during the summer
season, and autos an almost equally
good service during the winter
months, eliminating finally in a per-
manent arrangement with the Gov
eminent railroad for a twice-a-week
service.
