In THE CORNER OF A RAIL-
ROAD CAR.

In the club car of a New York
bound train the other day we listen
ed with interest to group OF men
of affairs" discuss the BolSheviki and
the l. W. W. element.
Jail them, depOrt them and even
execute the leaders were suggested.
The discussion revealed that none of
these would wholly remove the curse,
and both elements are curse be-
cause they represent destruction and
not construction, confiscation and not
production; they are mob outlaws
and thoroughly un-American.
AT last one gentleman said, If any
man has any idea what to do about
this I'd like to hear it, want the
real solution"
And then a passenger who had lis
tened with interest, and said nothing,
remarked impressiVely If you gen
tlemen really want to know, | think
| can tell you. can put it in three
words, STOP BREEDING THEM.
Stop trying to insist upon your plan
of private plant organization. Let
them organize if they want to and as
THEY want to, not as you suggest to
them Treat with them collectively,
do not deny them the right to col
lective bargaining. The employer or
corporation who does that is the
chief cause for all the Bolshevism in
America.
'"The exploiters of the timber and
lumber workers of the Northwest
who refuse to permit labor to or
ganize, who belong to that little
group ofo mid-Vic.orian Bourbons
who do not know that the enlighten-
ed world has recognized the right of
the workers to collective bargaining
they are the breeders of Bolshe-
vism!
There is but one force in Ameri-
ca today to stop the growth of Boil
shevism, and that is organized labor.
The American Federation of Labor
is the only constructive force today
that can meet this problem. Stop
breeding Bolshevism; it's a product,
a result, not cause. Stop it at its
source"
This gentleman left his Pullman
colleagues the wiser for his COM
ments for to the last one among them
they agreed.

The night was an ideal one for an
attack. The moon shone very bright
ly. The zero hour for the infantry to
jump out was $50 a. M Until the
zero hour not a shot was being fired
along the line. Everything remained
quiet until then. At 1880 every gun
on the American side from the Meuse
to Grand Pre- spoke as one. From
that time until a. M the air was full
of screaming shells The horizon was
mass of flames from the flash of our
artillery. $50 a. m. found the infan-
try with the support of the artillery
barrage going over. At a. m. the
prisoners began to come back. By
noon 10000 German prisoners had
been counted
Noon found the 10Th Div at Mount
Faucon and the artillery trying to
get through the mud and mire. After
much delay owing to the roads and
terrain being shot to pieces a planked
road in corduroy fashion was built.
Company e advanced to a position
between the village of Mount Faucon
and Antilles, better known as Dead
Mans HILL" 1t was here that Corp.
Edward Cordingly with many others
mond Eustice and Arthur Giles were
killed.
The 32nd Div. had been in support
at the beginning of the battle. About
October 9Th they took their position
in the lines for a period of 10 days
These troops from Wisconsin hacked
and chewed their way through the Ar
gonne forest in the face of a deadly
machine gun and shell fire. Barb
wire and concrete and machine gun
emplacements were the many OBJ
stacles they met. During one period
of the battle the Germans concen-
trated five divisions in front of them,
but still they advanced. The 32nd
Div. was the first American Div. to
penetrate the Kriemelhilde Stellung
line, the part of the Hindenberg Line
in the Argonne forest.
It was during the battle of the Ar
gonne that Sergt. Ben Richards of
Platteville, while in command Of a
section under heavy shell fire, rode
up and down his column encouraging
the men. For setting this good ex-
ample he was awarded the G. S. c..
During this Smelling Company E lost
seven men wounded and many horses
killed.
Co. E participated in the battle of
Argonne and Meuse for a period of
40 days. The first five days of the
engagement the only sleep the boys
had were few moments they could
steal while held up on the road by
traffic
The battle of the Mouse commenced
on Nov. /. 1t was this battle that de-
cided the fate of Germany. The AM
erican army concentrated thousands
of pieces Of artillery with the fixed de-
termination that the huns were going
to run, never to stop again. True to
expectations, the Germans were on
the run up to the hour of the armis-
tice, and when the last shot was fired
the 32nd was in front of Sedan, ready
again to take up arms at moments

notice in the event that Germany did
not abide by the terms OF the armis-
tice.
Co. E and the Bind Div. have made
a record that the people Of America
should feel proud of, record that
Wisconsin can ever feel proud of, as
these men penetrated every line of
defense that the Germans established
in front of them
Co. E will no doubt soon be home.
Let every man, woman and child make
their Homecoming one that will new
er be forgotten. They have MADE
GOOD. Let US make good.

FIFTH JOAN DRIVE
 ID BE FLOATED

Governor James K. Lynch, of the Federal Reserve Bank, has notified the Alaskan Engineering commis- sion that supplies, consisting of subsc, buttons, volunteer work CTS streamers and copies of the treasury department circular de- scribing the Fifth Liberty Loan will be shipped in shortly.
 The treasury department has been asked to forward these supplies at the earliest possible moment so that they may reach Nenana as far as practicable in advance of the campaign.
 Governor Lynch thinks that it is quite probable that the particulars of the treasury circular will not be determined in time to ship copies to Alaska. These particu- lars, he says, are not generally settled until a week before the campaign opens. He states, how ever, that in the event of failure to send the circulars, a wire giving sufficient particulars of the loan for the information and guidance of those handling it at this end, will be sent.

HOIST |S COMING ID TOWN
 WITH EQUIPMENT

The locomotive stationed out at the front is expected to arrive in town tonight, hauling a train com- posed of four coal cars, seven equipment cars and the Brown hoist. As the gap in the line extending from station No. 17641 to station No. 17644, distance of 300 feet, has now been reached; and further tracklaying operations toward the coal field are not possible until this gap has been filled there is no necessity for a locomotive to be stationed near the end of track.
 All of the grading equipment, consisting of dump cars, light rails, blows, scrapers, etc., which had been in use along the right of way from near old camp 9 (20-mile) to the Crossing and beyond, has been gathered up ana IS Delng brought to town today for distribution along the Nenana-F Fairbanks right of way, preparatory to the commencement of aggressive construction work just as soon as weather conditions will permit. The gang of men, working with the Brown hoist, un- der Foreman Fred Douse, will also come into town and will probably be used in the preparatory work to be done on the Nenana- Fairbanks line.

By and by his children were crying for
bread and the poormaster was going
to take charge of them. Well, who
should turn up there, just in the nick
of dme, but Della and Peabody
Baynes. They fed those children all
winter and kept them in clothes so
that they could go to school. The
strange thing about it is this: 1t was
Dave Ramsey who really started that
story. He got up In church the other
night and confessed his crime. His
conscience wouldn't let him keep 1t.
He said that he had not seen Peabody
Baynes on that road the day the
money was lost but had only heard
that he was there. He knew now that
he couldn't have been there. Gosh
talmightyl rs your uncle used to
say. when there was nothing else to be
said"
1t touched me to the soul-this long
delayed vindication of my beloved
Uncle Peabody.
The senator ate supper with ps and
sent his hired man out for his horse
and buggy. When he had put OF his
overcoat and was about to 60 he
turned to my uncle and said:
Peabody Baynes, if have had any
success in the world 1t is because I
have had the exalted honor and con-
sciousness that l represented men like
YOU"
He left us and we sat down by the
glowing candles. Soon told them what
Ramsey had done. There was q mo-
ment Of silence. Uncle Peabody rose
and went to the water pail for drink.
Bart, 1 believe I'll plant corn on
that ten-arce lot next spring-darned
if l DON'T" he said as he returned to
his chair.
None of us ever spoke of the matter
again, to my knowledge.

STREETS WITH ODD PAVING
Few Civilized Towns Would Care to
Duplicate Thoroughfare Known
to Exist in Africa.

Paris. we are told, is to be paved
With glass, and this has been referred
to as if 1t were quite unknown. How
ever, this Is not SO, for Lyons already
has the Rue de la Republic, with its
glass pavements laid in blocks eight
inches square, so closely fitted that
water cannot pass through them.
But streets Of glass are not by any
means the most curious streets in the
world. There is street in Gwandu,
Africa, which is a veritable place Of
skulls. The town, oval in shape, has
round 1t ring Of poles, every one Of
which is crowned with human skull.
There are six gates to the town, and
every one Of them Is approached by
a pavement Of skulls, Of which some
thing like 1900 were used. The pave
ment is snowy white.
Philadelphia has street made with
compressed grass, and the experiment
promised SO well after a year that
there may soon be many companion
streets of grass.
