Editor, Nenana News:
“Something like a month ago an
order was issued by Hon. John
I Perrin, chairman of the board of
j directors of the Federal Reserve
I Bank of San Francisco, to all banks
j and peoples within his federal re
^ serve district, including Alaska, that
; a halt must be called on spending
money unnecessarily,—that all state,
I county and city improvements, in
i eluding betterments or extensions
of public utilities, construction or re
construction of streets and highways
and construction of new buildings
must be halted during the period of
the war.
He emphatically emphasizes the
fact, that the Federal Government
looks with displeasure upon any pub
lic improvemnt, such as would be
natural in times of peace, but which
can be postponed until after the
war. For such work withholds from
the military effort, as they can be
carried forward only at a cost of
money materials and supplies, and
the money especially, which are
needed in winning the war. We can
i conceive of no German propaganda
that could be more insidious or more
harmful than one for the undertak
i ing. at this time, of public or private
I works of improvemnts which can be
temporarily delayed,—none started,
unless absolutely necessary. And
as we view the matter, this is a
time when all non-essential projects,
buildings or improvemnts of any and
all kinds should be deferred and
when the cost of Government should
be rduced to the minimum, in order
| that all energies may be concen
trated in the one vital effort—or
winning the war.
Dated August 12, 1918.

ALASKA COMING
DOWN YUKON TO
TRANSFER LOAD
Tanana Will Connect With Alaska
and Bring Her Freight_ Mail
and Passengers.
__

bulletin, the steamer Alaska should
arrive at Tanana early tomorrow
morning from Dawson and way
points, with Outside connections.
On arrival at the army town she
| will transfer all of her freight, mail

ana, which will probably sail fot
Fairbanks and way Stations immedi
ately after the transfer is made.
She is expected to have the Outside
mail, considerable freight and some
passengers for Nenana and Fair
banks.
The Tanana will probably have a
barge in tow and if she sails from
Tanana tomorrow morning, as it is
expected she will, she may be ex-!
pected in Nenana Thursday night
with the passengers transferred
from the Alaska for and the return
ing excursionists. |
GERMAN LETTERS SHOW
LOW MORALE OF ARMY
LONDON.—Hope of winning the
war is fading fast in the German
trenches, if letters taken from some
German prisoners accurately reveal
the morale of some of the German
troops.
“The Americans are in front of
us and they are terrible men," read
one letter taken from a German
prisoner. “We no longer have any
hope,” he continued. “My company
of 130 is down to 30.”
We should stop before we are
utterly demolished,” wrote another
German soldier. “I am always hop
ing the French may succeed in rop
ing us in- We should then at any
rate be relieved from the moral an
guish we are continually suffering.
Our strength is becoming more and
more sapped and if some of us do
get home we shall be broken men.”
NIGHT TELEGRAPH SERVICE
CLOSES AT MIDNIGHT
From and after today and until
further notice, all-night telegraph
service will be discontinued at the
local telegraph office.
The office hours will be from
8 o’clock in the morning until mid
night on week days; and from 9
to 10 a. m. and from 5 to 6 p. m.
on Sundays and holidays.

ROSBURG ENTERTAINS
AS SHOW PIANIST;
The old saying that one never
knows what one can do until he
actually tries, was exemplified to a
marked degree last night, when Her
man Rosburg. one of the genial
proprietors of the Coliseum theater,
undertook the difficult task of sup
plying the music for the delectation
of that large and appreciative audi
ence who had assembled at the popu
lar play house to see “The Little
Liar.”
The pieces selected were the fin-1
est of the large collection of rolls1
in the possession of the Coliseum, ^
and the operator showed that he
possessed marvelous skill and tech
nique in the rendition of the diffi
cult pieces.
On the authority of some of the
audience on whom much reliance
could be placed, it is stated that j
Herman’s brilliant rendition of the J
piece entitled “Floating Down the |
Old Green River” made a hig hit and j
earned a well merited storm of ap
plause from the audience.
MEXICAN ANT EATER
ADOPTED AS MASCOT
EL PASO.—A Mexican ant eater,
which was taken by one of the re
cruits for the U. S. marines when he
enlisted here and went to France
was in the second battle of the
Marne. His owner writes how Jim
my, the ant eater, followed his
master into the thick of the fight
ing engaged in by the marines and
how he is now equipped with a
miniature gas mask for future en- j
gagements at the front. The ant j
eater has been officially adopted as j
the mascot of the regiment to which
the El Paso boy belongs.

NOTE—Some time ago a drama was shown at the Coliseum
called The Thoroughbred, featuring Frank Keenan. This is an
entirely different story. This is a Western story, composed of
romance and thrill, of a Western cow puncher, William Russell and
Charlotte Burton, who stared in “The Diamond from the Sky.”
“The Thoroughb-ed” is a story that is sure to please—right from
the start it carries you away with thrill and admiration.. Popular
prices will prevail, namely.
