Moral Responsibility.

THE opportunity that the War De-
partment has to actively serve the en-
listed man." Mr.. Woods wrote, eek
pires, 1t might be thought, with their
separation from the service, fully
paid. and with $50 bonus and trans
portation to their homes. They 20
from the service in good health, or II
physically disabled. compensated by
the system of war risk insurance.
While the actual responsibility of the
war Department does end here, the
moral responsibility does not end un-
til the soldier has been absorbed by
normal civil life.
Feeling this moral obligation as
we do. the purpose of the War De-
partment is to coordinate, through
my office, the various activities of
the federal, state and city govern
ments, as well as those of private or
ganiZations, looking to a system
which VIII minimize the injustice and
the peril of unemployment of dis
charged soldiers. The War Depart
ment wants to do all it can to sup
plement and to help local effort"
An Excellent "Buy.o
Mr.. Woods expressed the opinion
that the vast majority of discharged
soldiers return to their pre- war oc-
cupations naturally. He added:
"As a business man, 1 believe that
the services of a discharged soldier
are an excellent buy for an EN-
ployer."

JUDGE bUlvNELL
 ARRIVES; IS TO
 LEAVE THIS A. M,

Without notice of any kind, Judge Chas. E. Bunnell arrived in town yesterday morning from the lower river on the mail launch Sibilla. He made the trip from HoIy Cross to TolOvana on another mail boat, and was met there by the Sibilla.
 Judge Bunnell will remain in town for but short time as he is due to open a term of court for Judge Brown at Seward on September s, and must catch the first steamer out of Cor. dova in order to arrive on time. He will leave town today on a special automobile.
 With only a few working hours to spend here, the judge was an ex- tremely busy man yesterday and last evening. He said that he had just finished a busy term of court at Flat, where much business was concluded.
 He took a few minutes to talk of the Kuskokwim country which he visited last month. This he describes as one of the finest sections of Al aska. He made the trip down the Kuskokwim river 150 miles with one companion in polling boat and re. turning crossed the divide and mush. ed over the old winter trail to Can dle creek and the government road back to Flat. "If General Richard sons plan of building a highway from Ruby into the Kuskokwim is ever carried out," said Judge Bunnell. "it will open up for development one of the finest countries in the world"

RAILROAD STRIKERS ARE NOW BACK AT WORK AND TRAINS
 ARE RUNNING AS USUAL

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29-(P)-u is announced here tonight that the railroad strike is over as far as cen tral California is concerned, and all trains are running as usual. The men returned to work this morning under pressure brot by the national off cers of the various brotherhoods to which they belong, but it is also be- lieved that the threat of Director General of Railroads Hines to operate the roads regardless of whether or not the strikers returned to work, also had it's effect.

COMPERS AND
 WILSON TALK
PRESIDENT AND LABOR LEADER BELIEVED TO HAVE DISCUSS
 ED LABOR TROUBLES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-P)- President Wilson and Samuel Com pers, the labor leader, held a lengthy conference today. Nothing concern. ing the nature of their talk has been divulged but it is believed to have been relative to the labor situation, especially as regards railroad em- ployees and steel workers. This is particularly believed to be true in view of the fact that the steel work ers' unions at Gary, Indiana, are con- sidering strike for better hours and pay and improved working conditions generally.

was going to meet his daughter who was on the Panama.
 With drawn curtains and shades the Panama moved into place at the landing stage to be boarded by the Zeaious officials. They were met by the "funerar cortege which marched slowly out of the engine room to the slow booming of the drum.
 It got over. MT. Fairborn ducked to his office Marshal Erwin stood for q moment bewildered then the "sell" got across and he laughed until tears rolled down h cheeks as the procession movru over the dock. Thru the dock it marched, the band playing q funeral dirge. As it reached the street the crowd got its first glimpse and went into spaSm, of merriment. With no sign of hear, ing the mirth, without losing their funeral aspect. the marcherS pro- ceeded up Front to Cushman street thence to the courthouse on Second avenue. down that to Turner, back to Front street and down that street to the Pioneer cigar store where the pallbearers placed their burden on a pool table and the "mourners" filed slowly by for a last look at the remains"

MONITOR SUNK
 BY EXPLOSION
EXPLOSION ON AN AMM UNITION BARGE SINKS WARSHIP AND
 TWENTY ARE KILLED.

ARCHANGEL, Russia, Aug. 29.--(R) As the result of an explosion aboard an ammunition barge in the harbor here today the monitor Glow Worm which was close to the barge when it exploded, sank to the bottom. Most of the members of the crew of the craft were rescued but twenty are known to have been killed on both the barge and the monitor. In addi- tion there are forty missing and it is therefore believed that most of them met death.

just how serious the matter is to the North
 The Fairbanks Commercial Club also sent number of telegrams in an effort to prevent these offices from being closed. The most inn portant of these went to Secretary Baker, as follows:
 Proposed withdrawal of signal corps operators from Brooks, Me must close for next ten months as Alaska Wireless Co. unable fill places before then. These towns center of much mining development work and under most favorable conditions ex tremely isolated. Lacking physicians, nurses and medical supplies of many munication in cases of sickness or emergency for relief. Closing down of stations will work real hardship on hundreds of people. Respectfully urge that present arrangement of ser vice be cOntinued''
 The club also sent a telegram to Delegate GTigsby telling him of what had been done and asking him that he operate in the effort to keep the offices open. Other telegrams were sent, one to the Nenana Com mercial Club, another to the Brooks Commercial Club, and one to Falcon Joslin, suggesting that he put the matter up to the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce asking it's assistance.
 In addition to the messages sent by the Commercial Club and Judge Bunnell, telegram was sent by the First National bank to the secretary of war telling him just what effect the cessation of direct communica- ton would have on the mining and other industries of those camps and urging him to reconsider the with drawal of signal corps men at the present time.

LOCAL PEOPLE APPEAL TO ARMY
 AUTHORITIES TO KEEP ALASKA
 COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS OPEN

"If it is at all possible" said Pres ident J. A. Mcintosh. of the Fair banks Commercial Club last night" i've will keep the Alaska wireless stations at Brooks, McGrath and Idit- arOd open this winter. We realize what it means to those people in the sections served by the above stations to have means of quick cOmmunica- tion and are fully awake that anything that hurts them injures Fairbanks, and if the Fairbanks Commercial Club can be of any assistance in the matter, it will go the limit
 A telegram received Thursday by the local commercial organization contained the information that the signal corps would soon withdraw Operator Myerson from Brooks. Yes terday it was learned that the sig nal corps men at Iditarod and Mo Grath would also be recalled to the service. This information was re- ceived by Judge Bunnell, in the fol lowing wire from McGrath:
 Judge Bunnell, Fairbanks.
 "Grigsby advises government con- template withdrawing signal corps operators McGrath, Brooks and ldit- arod. As there are no other opera tors available this will necessitate closing of stations. This would leave us deplOrably isolated. Could you assist Us by appealing to the secre- tary of war tu allow men to remain. Important that prompt action be talk. en Tom absent but people here re quest something be done immediately. (Signed) "E. AlTKEN."
 Altho Judge Bunnell had but a short time here to look after business which has accumulated during his absence down river, he took time last night to send a message to Colonel Lenoir, head of the Alaska signal corps telegraph system, asking him to do everything in his power to keep the men on the jobs, explaining

NENANA SWEEPS
 SLATE WINNING
 THREESTRAIGHT

The hard-hitting Nenana baseball team made it three straight by win ing both Sunday games from Fair banks in the series just concluded at the lower river town. Neither of che contests Sunday classed With une game played Saturday. Sunday morn ing's game was won by Nenana by a one-sided score of 15 to 4, while the afternoon game went to them, the final score being II to 6.
 In the morning game, Mills start ed out for Fairbanks. The first three men to face him went safe on errors Hits following, coupled with more misplays gave the Nenanaites five runs. The bombardment was con tinued in the second inning and the errors multiplied. Fowler replaced Mills in the third, but the damage was done and with Fuelling twirlng high class ball for Nenana the Fair banks team stood no chance Of overtaking the big lead piled up in the early innings.
 Keene started on the mound fol Fairbanks in the third and final game Sunday afternoon. For innings both teams played good ball. Then errors coupled with timely hitting, after two men were down in the sixth, gave Nenana a big lead. Keene was yank ed out of the box and Geis sent in Nenana hit him hard and Mills went in, holding them safe for the remain der of the game. Mills batting was the feature in the third game. In five times up he got four safeties two of them being for two bags All of his hits figured in the run getting.
 TWO DANCES GIVEN
 The Fairbanksans who made the trip on the Panama were shown every possible courtesy by the Nenana ci tizens. A good crowd met the boat at the dock and escorted the visitors uptown to their hotels and other stop ping places.
 Saturday evening big dance was staged at Union hall at which all the Fairbanksans were guests of hon or. The evening and the early Sun day morning hours were most enjoy ably spent in this manner Sunday Fairbanksans were given an oppor tunity to see the railroad establish ment, and several who had never visited Nenana prior to this time took advantage of it. Sunday evening an other dance was given for the visit ors and almost the entire town of Nenana escorted the Fairbanksans to their boat when the time for leaving rolled around Everyone making the trip was highly pleased with the re- ception given by the Nenana people who left nothing undone to make il genuine pleasure trip.

BASEBALL BOYS PULL COMEBACK
 STUNT AT HOME

Those people who met the steamer Panama on it's return from Nenana yesterday afternoon with the Fair
 banks baseball team and fans. were treated to the surprise of their lives and saw one of the richest "sells" ever attempted in Fairbanks put a cross. From the time U. s. Marshal l.. T. Erwin, and General Agent J. A. Fairborn, of the White Pass with physicians and deputy marshals boarded the landing stage, until the end of the comedy at Beams pool parlors, it was a scream which soon travelled from one end of town to the other.
 Defeated in three straight games
 by the Nenanaites. the local club and it's supporters who made the trip, realized that something would have to be done to forestall the stay at-homes. In this effort. a fake flu neral was planned in which the entire passenger list of the Panama parti cipated and the success of the scheme was largely due to the sym pathetic cooperation and aid rendered by the officers and crew of the Panama.
 The first step was the making of a dummy "cOrpse" which was placed on a stretcher. Next Bobby Sheldon was rigged up as the widow" sup ported by Mrs. Chas. o. Fowler, and Hal Noziglia. Mrs. R. l.. Vining as- sisted by Steward Harry Beagle. of the Panama, pinned bands of crepe on the arms of everyone. Pallbearers were chosen and the band lined up for the funeral dirge.
 When passing the slaughterhOuse, a megaphone message was shouted to the man in charge of the cold storage barge there instructing him to tell Agent Fairborn to get the marshals and physicians to meet the boat at the dock. He did as instructed and MT. Fairborn. having had considerable experience in baseball excursions in olden days between Whitehorse and Skagway, saw a revival of the good old days in prospect. He called on Marshal Erwin for assistance and also called in Dr. Sutherland and Dr. De La Vergne.
 Believing that a serious scrap had taken place. the officials made every effort to keep the matter quiet. but rumors of something wrong leaked thru when marshals. physicians and officials assembled at the dock to meet the incoming float ing madhouse'' and large crowd was at the White Pass dock. The officials took no chances. how ever. and kept the big gates closed and posted Acting Chief of Police Gohres on the waterfront approach to prevent ingress thru the avenue. "Heinie" did his work well and came close to arresting George Myers who
