PRO-GERMANS AS
PlR|NG TO POISON
AMERICAN MINDS
When a Person "KnOcks" the Nictuiy
Loan, Tell tho Government
Authorities.

The diplomats on half the 81 Die are
in Paris fixing the terms of the World
Peace. We know pretty much what
those terms are going to re like.
There may be a few disgruntled folks
here and there but on the whole the
general opinion of the whole world Is
going to be satisfied.
Not Germany. Hunlanl Is not rec
onciled Deep down in the heart OF
the well-nigh dismembered monster
there is the bitterness of a dream of
world dominion that ms fadee.
There was a great man once Hko said
PRUSSIA never yields, she onl% seems
to Weld" That in a good text to
keep in mind with conditions as they
are in the old central empires.
1t is good thing to bea~ III mind
when the proGerman, the man who is
now without country comes a"oHEG
whispering that there ISM much use
in this Fifth Liberty Loan, this Vic
tory Loan of the American people.
What Germany could not win in the
field she is perfectly willing tc win IN
any other way. The propagandists,
born to a life time of treachery and
evil cannot quit their evil games.
They are still at it here in Anne lea.
And don't get the idea that ii Is
harmless. They are dangerous today
just as they were a year ago. lneS
will defeat the Victory Liberty Loan
if it is in any way possible for them
to do so. They are endeavorlng II
poison the minds of the real Amerl-
cans, to disgust them and disgruntie
them and make the loan fail. All thi
to the greater glory Of the Prussia
of the old Germany that has not quite
ceased to exist.
Simply remember that it is the pro
German and the anti-Amelfcan who
is attacking the new Liberty loan
That they are trying to stir up sym
pathy for Germany. Also that Gef-
many has no claims upon American
sympathies, that the men at the pc zee
table know best and that the Germans
gave absolutely no consideration u
America or Americans before va won't
to war.
And do you recall the kaiser's state
ment that he "would stand no-foolish-
ness from America after the war. }"
Also you may realize that the Fedora!
officials are still looking after the
Hun propagandists. If you come
across one of the knockers" of the

they sold at $3.50.
Keep these figures in mind lhey

holding on to your bonds and for buy
ing all you possibly can Of the fl1tn
Liberty Lean. That is what the J 18th
and all the other loans may reasonabl"
be expected to do in the years TO come
That is why people who know and APP

a U. S. Liberty bond is che best piece
of investment paper that has ever peen
offered the the people of the United
States. Thes ebonds will rise In value

WHY 1T BEHOOVES YOU
TO HOLD LIBERTY BONDS
One Reason is Found i'm Record of
Advance in u. S. Security Prices
Before the Present War.

The next time a man comes along
wanting to buy up Liberty bonds You
just consider this point: "Ifs its worth
500 to the other fellow, why it is
worth just as much to you"
Or take it this way. Ii the Other
fellow is exceptionally anxious to get
something that you own, it is pretty
fair sign that what you have is worth
something to the other fellow.
Therefore, it behooves the Liberty
bond owner to think pretty closely and
act very warily about selling e bond
The U. S. government has asked us
all to bear thes ethings in mind when
the bond scalper comes along or when
the smooth citizen offers you some
| kind of securities in trade for you1
Liberty bonds.
In spite of the utmost vigilance on
the part of the government and de-
spite repeated warnings Of official
agents, the peddlers of worthless Sc
curities have biked lot of people out
of the finest and best bonds in the
world, the Liberty bonds of the United
States government.
| Here is something that you ought
to Remember. Keep it in mind from
this time on and see if you don't hole
on to your bonds that you have ane

.1RAVtLERS ENJ0Y DELIGHTFUL TRIP
 VA BROAOPASS

Mrs. J. C. Van Orsdel, who re- gently made the trip to Anchorage over the Broad Pass trail, writing to her husband, says that she had a most wonderful trip on the Cooney stage, driven by William Sborgia, a Kantishna mining man. The actual travelling time between steel was only 38 hours. ~=: *'.-.
 Mrs. Van Orsdel, Mir and Mrs. Ellenson and A. J. Hewitt left Ne mana on February l, stayed over at the 43-mile roadhouse for the night and started out to negotiate the Broad Pass trail early next morning. Sborgia had Mesdames Van Orsdel anh Ellenson on his sled; Cooney took on Elenson, the dog feed and some baggage; while Hewitt brought up the rear on Charlie Smiths dog sled. Sborgia, who had never been over the trail before, swung up Liz mite creek and travelled about two miles up that creek before he found out that he was off the track. He repeated this performance at Healey river, going up that stream about half a mile. They met a prospector who told Sborgia he was off the trail
 Returning to the main trail, good time was made. Sborgia took the trail through the canyon and arrived safely at Riley creek roadhouse, run by Maurice Moreno, five hours ahead of both Cooney and Smith. Mrs. Van Orsdel says that they did not know, at the time, that the passage through the canyon was considered dangerous.
 The party arrived at Talkeetna Saturday, February 8, and were given a great welcome by the people of that burg. A dance was gotten up in honor of the visiting ladies, and during their stay there, of nearly three days, several dinner parties and other tertainments were gotten up by the people of

grading contract at the Crossing; he also owned several head of fine stock, which were used for railroad building purposes
 Delegate Wickersham recently wired to Nels, requesting informa- tion regarding Alaskans who wished to return North. The delegate wanted the names of the men in Nel's company who were anxious to go North, and in reply Nels wired him the names of 142 men. These men expect to be discharged almost immediately, and will head for the trail leading to Nenana.
 It is reported that Arnold Sather and Allen Brennan, former N nanaites, have been discharged. Sather is coming to Nenana, but nothing is known locally of Allan Grennan'e intentions.
 Writing to Frank Doner from Prosser, Wash, under date of Janu- ary 31, Ralph Darling, former tran sit man with the A. E. C., says he is now in the reclamation service and is apparently satisfied Ken meth Case, formerly resident engin- eer, stationed at the Crossing, is also iif the same service in North Yakima, Wash He says that Grady Sumerlin, former A. E. C. man, and Ray Steele, of the A. |. N. Co.,, of Fairbanks, were also discharged at about the same time as he was and that they had gone to their homes E. G. Pearson and Art Denny, former A. E. c. men also, are in the 67th U. s. Guards, doing duty at Camp Dodge. Iowa, awaiting their discharges, when they will come North.
 Asa Pittock, another A. E. C. man is now at Newport News, and says he is very tired of the army. He is coming North as soon as he can get away.
 Kenneth Case, who was recently in Seattle, told Darling on his re- turn to Yakima, that he saw most of the townspeople of Nenana in Seattle, and that they were all talk ing of going back to Alaska.

every one of them will come back North again just as soon as the war department turns them loose, and the news received from the boys would indicate that they are doing everything in their power to bring influence to bear on the war de- partment so that the may secure their discharges as quickly as pos sible.
 All indications point to the fact that the coming spring will see an influx of ex-soldiers to the North land, as a great many of the Alas kans are bringing their friends along. Nenana would appear to be their objective, and the majority of them expect to get work on the government railroad.
 Bob Swe, well known Nenana boy, writing from Camp Grant, III, under date of January 15, says that the Northern boys in the army are do- ing about all they can to get out of the army and get back to Alaska. He says: "Belive me. we will all be glad to get back Outside is all right, but somehow it isn't like Alaska at all. How soon we may get out, l can't say, but we sure hope it will be pretty quick, so that we can get in before the breakup We have written and wired to all men of any influence, both in Alas ka and in the States, and it looks as though we have a chance now to get out pretty soon.
 ! ''The only one who was a dis appointment to us was Governor Riggs. All the others wired prompt ly that they would do all they could to help us out, but he thought it more proper for him to say that the war department would turn us loose at the proper time, and that Alas kans do not mean or want to shirk their parts, but that they are all anxious to do whatever is asked of them.
 Nov all that sounds very nice, as lo1-s = you don't know what is going on here, but the truth of the whole matter is this: every other unit of the army is disbanded as soon as they hit the States. while we Alaskans are doing guard duty. together with old soldiers, whereas all of the other drafted men out here are discharged. So you see that It was quite a shock to US to see how little interest our own gov ernor takes in matters pertaining to Alaska and her men in the service'
 Since writing the letter referred to, Bob Swe has been discharged and is now hot-footing it fo- the North.
 J. C. Van Orsdel received the fol- lowing wire from Gus Hahn Satur- day night:

 Nels and Nick Larson, brothers of Mrs. Alex Fowler of Nenana, are also very anxious to come North as soon as possible.
