that doesn't work, the owner Of the
house may try to prepare the meals,
and of course no one Is satisfied with
that arrangement"
The natural desire OF all human
beings for home of their own"
was described by Mr.. Butler, who
told of "one community of a hundred
people who moved into an aban-
doned stable on an old race track,
where each family was assigned a
STALL"
They declared they would rather
have their own horse stall than live
with other persons" he asserted.
English women are combating
innumerable other hardships of les
ser proportion than the loss of
homes.
POTS and pans are impossible to-
obtain" the speaker said. Those
needing a knife and fork have a
chance of getting them once in five
years"
After five years of suffering, both
men and women are becoming
"touchy and nervous" Mr.. Butler
said
1T is probably worse in other
countries than in England" he
added. 1T is a factor that will make
the postwar period more difficult. 1t
isn't going to be easy to make people
reasonable in discussing the peace.
But at whatever price and at what
ever defiance, the English women
are determined that this will not
happen again, even if it means de-
stroying the whole German industry.
The women will play tremendous
part in helping dictate the peace"

Suffering, Courage
BY Gretchen Smith


The tragedy of England's broken
home life and the bravery and for
titude of English women. ''the great
est sufferers" from this disruption of
normal life, was vividly described by
British Minister Harold B. Butler
yesterday in an address before the
Women's National Democratic Club.
Speaking at the clubs weekly
luncheon, Mr.. Butler said, you can't
really understand the impact of war
unless you see how it has affected
the women"
Hundreds of thousands of women
have had their homes disrupted for
the duration, the speaker said, many
of them sharing lodgings in crowded
dwellings far removed from towns
in which they belong in order to live
near factories and plants where
they are engaged in war work.
While the uprooting of home ties
has been hard on women who have
lost their homes, the women who
are forced to give lodgings to stran-
gers also have shared in the suffer-
ing and hardships, the Minister
pointed out.

until the Army took it over its loco
motives were limited to a slow speed
to keep them from jumping the
tracks and that the line extends
into the Kougarok River country.
Started at the height of MONIES
gold rush days in 1900. the small
gauge railway was taken over by
the Army after establishment of the
post near here, and its miniature
flat cars carry lumber, fuels and
other supplies into the Army camp
located in and near the Anvil Creek
mining area through which the rail-
road passes.

themselves broke and disillusioned
end it was largely from these that
labor for construction of the first
six or seven miles of the railroad
was obtained. They were paid about
five dollars a day and their board.
The railway later was transferred
to The Seward Peninsular Railway
Company, and still later to the
Maine Northwestern Development
Company, during which time it was
extended several miles north It
was sold at marshals sale in 1920

The Territorial legislature pro-
yided that the railway be turned
over to the Alaska Road Commits

Among the gold mining areas
served by the road are Coffee Greek,

as "Pupmobiles.'
