WASHINGTON, May 26-william
Jennings Bryan will have difficult
time asking the Democratic national
convention at San Francisco to accept
the Lodge reservations on the peace
treaty which he himself considers I'M
objectionable. The reason is the in
struction given to Mr.. Bryan by the
Nebraska convection OF Democrats. Mr..
Bryan has always stood scrupulously On
platform pledges and as an instructed
uelegate to the Democratic national
convention from Nebraska it would be
embarrassing for him to advocate an
other kind of platform from that which
MS nome state favors. Senator Hitch

Dr. Spaulding was to have left Mile 269 this morning, accompanied by his wife, who formerly was a trained nurse, and they will arrive here within the next few days, by way of the Broad Pass trail. Dr. Spaul- ding is an oldtime Fairbanksan, having moved from the upper town to the Iditarod country a number of years ago, and thence to the coast. At present he is stationed at one of the camps north of An chorage.

Indians Sick.

Less encouraging reports come from the Indian village above Ne mana, where nearly all of the na- tives are i'll and so situated that it is impossible to give them the care that patients in town are re- ceiving. Sergeant Fielding, of the local detachment of guards, has gen eral charge of the situation there and is rendering all the aid possi- ble.
 Thirty-five of the villagers, who had migrated to the hills before the outbreak of the epidemic. were found camped near the railroad some distance south of town several days ago, all of them i'll. A special train was sent out as soon as the matter had been reported in town, and all of the sufferers were brought in and taken to their cabins in the village. Sixteen of the natives have died thus far, not including one native woman who died several days ago in one of the town hospitals.

NENANA SITUATION
 IS UNDER CONTROL

Storekeeper Robert s. Donaldson,
 both of whom have been tireless in
 their work and ready at all times
 to assume any new responsibility that came their way, never com blaming and never disheartened.
 In the absence of MT. Browne, who left for the end of steel soon after the influenza made it's appear Iance in Nenana, MT. Donaldson has had general charge of the situation, cooperating with the epidemic com mittee so long as the members of the committee were able to act. and then with other citizens of the town who stepped into the breach land assisted until they too were taken i'll. And when there were none left to help in directing af- fairs, he sihouldered the entire work alone, doing everything from fur nishing nurses and supplies for the various hospitals to preparing bodies for burial and burying them. The town, as we'll as the Alaskan En- Igineering commission, is very fortu- nate that such man as MT. Don .aldson was available in the emer- gency.
 One of the most striking changes in the appearance of Nenana during the past week is the number of men on the streets. A week ago today the streets were practically desert ed, nearly everyone in town at that time being either in bed or en- gagged in nursing. Today the pool halls are filled with convalescents. and the more venturesome among them spend considerable of their tune on the streets-some of them
 too much for their own good. Nearly all of them have the flu cough and go about for the most part bundled in fur coats-a rare sight in Alaska in the middle of May.
 The restaurant situation has been for several days and is still some what acute, owing to the fact that several of the eating places are closed and help is not available for the two that are open. Most of the work is being done by volunteers land convalescents. The other busi- mess places about town, which were closed by the flu, are open again and business is beginning to take on normal proportions.
The Nenana daily news., 1920-05-12
Out the Line.

Reports from out the line, to the south of Nenana, indicate that the flu situation at the end of steel and tat the Kestly camp is we'll in hand.
 There are 80 cases all told and
 there have been no deaths thus far, although some of the patients are seriously ill. Dr. T. o. Lake is in charge at the kestly camp and Su- perintendent of Construction Dan Leech is looking after the sick at Healy, where large bunkhouse has
 been turned into an emergency hos pital.
The Nenana daily news., 1920-05-12

since The Nenana News last made
 its appearance on the streets, a
 week ago today. A week ago the
 influenza epidemic was almost at it's height, with nearly everyone in town ill and many patients under treat
 ments from various camps along the
 railroad, north and south of Ne
 mana. The situation had reached a serious stage, with an insuffi-
 cient number of nurses available to
 give the sick proper care and at jtention. The Government hospital,
 the Cooney hotel, the Southern ho- tel and the three commission dormi- tories were filled to capacity with
 patients, and cases were still de- lveloping at an alarming rate On Thursday the situation was even more grave, and on Fsiday condi- tions had reached such an alarming stage, chiefly through lack of nurses,
 that committee of citizens got into communication with Assistant Territorial Health Officer J. A. Suth
 erland, of Fairbanks, with view to securing aid from the upper town, which by that time had partially recovered from the epidemic The result was that special train wsa despatched almost immediately from Fairbanks with Dr. M. F. Hail, Druggist Frank R. Clark and d dozen volunteer nurses under the leadership of K. B. Collins. They arrived in Nenana on Friday eve ming and began immediately the work of reorganizing the towns shattered nursing forces.
 Dr. Hall, who looks after the medical and surgical work of the Alaskan Engineering commission in the Fairbanks district, made the rounds of the various hospitals with
 Dr.. M. E. Smith on Saturday. Drug gist Clark rendered such assistance as he could at the Government hos, pital, and Saturday found the Fair banks nurses scattered over the
 town, in general charge of that end ! of the work. And it is freely ad. mitted by Nenanaites that their com ing and the business-like manner in which they took hold of things gave new hope to patients, to worn-out nurses and to the public generally. Their arrival found the town on the verge of panic.
 Dr. Hall returned to the upper town by special train on Saturday evening, accompanied by Druggist Clark. Both had important work awaiting them at home, and Dr. Hall found, during his brief stay here, that all that could be done in the way of medical attendance was being done by Dr. Smith and that the situation, from that angle, was well in hand.
 The peak of the epidemic was reached on Thursday, when there were nearly 22O cases under treat ment. Cases continued to develop after that time, but they grew less daily and the number of patients discharged from the various hos pitals grew greater, until today there are considerably less than 100 under treatment.
 The epidemic would have passed without serious consequences, in all probability, but for the develop ment of a number of pneumonia cases, due in large measure to the failure of patients to obey instruc- tions and to lack of an adeauate nursing organization. At no time since the commencement of the epidemic have there been sufficient nurses available; very few of those who served and are still serving in that capacity had had previous ex- Iperlence in the sickroom and not many were able to stay with the

They learned all that there was to learn about the flu a year ago, when the coast towns of Alaska were visited by the epidemic And when the disease finally made its appearance in the Interior, they were prepared to cope with the situ-- ation in a manner that reflects cred it on the Fairbanks Red Cross, un- der the auspices of which organiza- tion the flu campaign was conducted.
