Hollywood
Plans Wartime
Christmas

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. % Up
- First the dimout, then the
scrap-pile, to take the Christmas
out of Christmas trees, but this
ingenious, unstumpable land OF
ke-believe snaps right back
with papier- mache.
Such will be the reincarnation
of famed Santa Claus Lane"
along which screen stars tradi-
tionally paraded nightly aboard
elaborate floats during the yule-
tide.
It's like this:
Those thousands of many
hued lights a-twinkling in hum
dreds of Christmas trees lining
Hollywood boulevard wouldn't
coincide with dimout regula-
tons, nor would the trees, them
selves, fit properly into the war
picture as seen by the Chamber
Of Commerce.
They're metal, those trees, to
the extent of 10000 pounds, SO
they got hauled off to the scrap
heap to help send a little Christ
mas spirit american war style)
to those back-stabbing japanese
who decided they. didn't want
any peace on earth this yuletide
season.
1--WE of Hollywood felt that to
dim out the boulevard was not
enough" said Chamber Pres
ident John B. Kingsley. "Those
metal trees lying in storage most
of the year would do more for
the war If they could be turned
into missiles to be hurled at the
enemy. We can get more metal
when victory is won."
That's where papier-mache
comes in. Replacing the trees
will be 8-foot reproductions OF
Santa Claus on the lamp-posts,
and Santa will be moulded of
papier -mache and other non
critical materials.
The decision to scrap-for the
duration-Santa Claus lane was
reached by the Chamber, the
Hollywood Merchantors' Associ-
alton and the Hollywood Pro-
perty Owners Association.
In past years such film lumi-
naries as William S. Hart, the
late Tom Mix, Jean Harlow and
Edna May Oliver, and most OF
the current stars have led the
Santa Claus parade, a holiday
spectacle that annually attracted
hundreds of tourists-when gas
oline and tires were more plent-
iful.

Engineers Press Toward

Despite Biting Arctic Cold

WHITEHORSE, Y. T., Nov.
23-(R-With more transporta-
ton facilities already completed
this year than in any similar
period in the history of the
North, u. S. army engineers to-
day were pushing ahead to even
more difficult projects.
Driven by the urgency of glo-
bal war, the engineers plunged
from completed works into the
new, despite the fact the Arctic
winter was already upon them.
In the face of storms and tenn
peratures which at times drop
ped below thermometer read
ings, surveyors driving dog
teams pushed ahead on both
highway and railroad projects.
Classified as the next big job
in the development of the Arctic
transportation network is the
construction of highway sys-
tenn leading from the northern
terminus of the new Alcan high
way at Fairbanks to strategic

points along Alaska's $4,000
miles of coast line.
Plans for the system are al
ready under way and the sur
veyors are working on still an
other supply route for the North
"a road from Haines at the
head of the protected Inside
passage" up the Pacific coast.
Running overland from the sea
lao miles to the Alcan route,
the Haines connection will give
Fairbanks and the interior a
new combination water-highway
supply link.
1--WE are going to build it this
winter" Brig. Gen. j. A. o.
Conner, commander OF the
Northwest Service command,
announced shortly after opening
ceremonies of the Alcan at klu-
ane Lake.
A message from Lieut.. Gen.
j. l.. Dewitt, Western Defense
commander, read at the Kluane
ceremonies, outlined the rail
projects needed to give the
Northland a full transportation
system, either for peace or war.
General Dewitt listed the
needs, in order of their import
ance as follows:
New railroad from Fairbanks
to the Boring Sea; double track
ing and conversion to standard
guage of the Skagway-White-
horse road; development of the
Skagway port; extension Of the
Skagway-Whitehorse line to
Fairbanks and connection with
the Alaska Railway; construc-
ton of a line from Prince
George, B. c., to Whitehorse to
connect with the Fairbanks ex-
tension.
The engineer corps, besides
formally opening the Alcan
highway, has disclosed that a
new highway has been complet-
ed from Anchorage to the Rich
ardson highway, giving Anchor
age its first connection with the
Alaska railroad, and that a new
cutoff has been completed on
the Alaska railway at Portage.

New Battle
Loss Revealed
Destroyer Added
to Cost Of Victory

WASHINGTON, Nov. % -(R
- News that the United States
had lost an additional destroyer
in the Nov: 1915 battle of the
Solomons was balanced today by
the sinking of a japanese de-
stroyer off New Guinea.
The Japanese ship was des-
troyed by allied bombers while
apparently attempting to land
reinforcements at Buna, north
east coast base which is grad
ually being encircled by Austria
liam and American troops.
Loss of the American destroy
err, which sank the night of Nov.
16 from torpedo damage suf-
fered during the previous nights
action, was reported by the Navy
yesterday. The officers and
crew were rescued by another
destroyer, with no loss Of life
reported.
This brought to nine-seven
destroyers and two cruisers
the total American naval casual
ties in the big battle that end
ed in the smashing of a Japanese
invasion armada headed for
Guadalcanal island. The Navy
has reported % japanese ships
sunk and 10 damaged.
The latest communique gave
no further details of the land
fighting on Guadalcanal, where
American troops were reported
on Saturday to have advanced a
mile beyond their previous west
ern position along the Matanikau
river.
Last reports on the fighting to
the east of Henderson airfield
said about half of the 1900
Japanese troops there had been
slain and the rest had scatter
ed through the jungle.

The japanese vessels emitted
thick curtains of anti-aircraft
fire and zigzagged in desperate
attempts to elude bombs and

Squadrons Arrive
Shortly, according to the first
hand accounts of filters who par
took in the action, the United
States naval squadron came over
the horizon within range of the
enemy armada. Both fleets opened
fire. shaking the air and churning
the ocean with their salvos.
At the same time, scores of
planes from both sides dotted the

In the melee the American war

japanese destroyers were seen
by American filters rushing madly
