Harry Beach, Caught. On Trail, Has Narrow
 Escape From Freezing
Nenana News.

Harry Beach, well known Old-timer, who left Nenana for the Chandlar dis trict last fall, was brought in from the Faith Creek roadhouse this week, with & badly frozen foot, and it is feared shat he will lose several toes. The story related is that Beach was headed for Fairbanks with his dog team, and arriving late at the Berry dredge, with himself and his dogs weary and cold, sought shelter for the night. He is re- ported. to have been told that he would find roaahouse only T. miles distant, and, rather than force himself upon a reluctant host, Beach set out for the next stopping place. 1t was 47 below zero and hard going, and the dogs finally gave out and had o0 be un- hitched, from the sled. 1t also became GOO dark for travel, and the old timer siwashed the remainder of the night arising next morning cold and hungry He set out again for,the TwelVemIle house, but had to rest,frequently, and even after he had come within sight of the roadhouse he was too weary to re- spond to the gladdening vision. Luck ily the road house man saw him as he sat sprawled on the trail. and rushed to,his assistance. He was then freez- ing rapidly. and but for the timely arr rival of aid undoubtedly would have pefished. As it was, it required heroic measures to draw the frost out. only one foot remaining in. bad condition when the thawing process had been concluded. Beach was. later taken to Faith Creek roadhouse, where he re- oelveaJ the care os trained nurse, and where he remained until Ed Bartlett came along and brought him to the hospital.

GerraGnv Must Pay,
 Prersi-r Poincare
 Asserts tn Speech
By Associated Press

Thiau Court, France, August 20.- France knows how to make Germany pay for the destruction she caused during the war. and every German will be held to strict accountability for the repair of this damage, Pre- mier Poincare told the population of Thiau Court this afternoon at the dedication of a monument to the sol- diers of this community who fell in the great struggle, and also to honor scores of civilians who died as A re- suit of German occupation of the town.
 After reviewing the heroic part by the town in resisting the German drive on Paris in September, 1914. the premier exclaimed.
 There are certain people in the world who are blind enough to ad- wise us to leave unpunished the au- thors of this outrage against civili- zation and relieve Germany of in- demnities to which the families of these martyrs are justly entitled.
 Germany violated all the recog- nized rules of warfare In an effort to win by terror a war which she despaired of winning on the field. It does not suffice that since their de- feat a certain number of Germans have weakly repudiated this crime and destruction"
