ENFORCED PEACE
“As a war measure, to help win
the war, let us do all in our power
to have the League of Nations es
tablished now,” said Herbert S.
Houston, of New York, speaking re
cently at Philadelphia at the “Win
the W’ar for Permanent Peace” con
vention under the auspices of the
League to Enforce Peace. “Let us
reach out at once for one of tne
great fruits of victory, a league of
nations . At this very moment the
final and supreme power in such
a league armed force, is under a
single cotrol, that of the incompar
able Foch on that fateful battle line
in France. If that can be accom
plished, and it has been ,why not
go forward at once with the otl-.er
work, far less difficult, of complet
ing the formation of the league.”
Mr. Houston is a member of the
committe of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States on the
Economic Results of the War and
retiring president of the Associated
Advertising Clubs of the World.
Estimating the economic power
the League of Nations would possess
Mr. Houston said it would control
three-quarters of the world’s coal
production; of steel and copper over
two-thirds; of cotton and petroleum
four-fifths of the world supply; ol
the essential food products a pre
ponderance over the Central powers
much greater than the pr \iondei
ance in population.
“The total imports and '‘xports
of Great Britain, France, Jtf’y and
the United States, the four greatesl
nations in the Entente,” be said
“were approximately $12,000,000,- (
000 in 1913, while the total imports,
and exports of Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary wer only half as large,
or about $6,000,000,000. This sum
mary is conclusive in showing how i
overwhelming the economic power ■
of the present League of Nations, |
fighting for civilization, would be. J
“That economic force, resting on
a preponderance of the world’s ba
sic materials for war, could be ap
plied through all the agencies of j
the modern world—the cable, the
wirless, the postal union, the stock
exchange, the custom house, the
trade embargo—and it is difficult
to see how any nation would be able
to withstand it.”
WAR WORK FOR WOMEN
Approximately 20,000 women
have been placed in positions thru ;
the Federal Employment Service, ;
since February 1, according to Mrs. j
Hilda Muhlhauser Richards, chief of
the woman’s division. This figure
is based on reports turned in by
federal employment offices and
their co-operative agencies for Feb
ruary and March.
Munition factories received the
greatest number of the woman
workers suplied by the federal ser
vice, the reports show. The ma
jority of women applying for em
ployment ask for work in the war
: industries. Nearly every city in
the country, it is stated, reports
difficulty in obtaining women for
housework and other branches of
domestic service.

HEAD OF LOCAL
SERVICE BOARD
- I
’ermanent Presiden Is Elected At ’
Meeting of Local Examption
Board No. 19.
Local Exemption Board No. 19,
>f Nenana, met Thursday night at S
>’clock for the purpose of examining
•egistrants, and also to effect a re
>rganization of the board. Those
n attendance were Dr. David H.
More, E. J. Cronin and Geo. YV
Pennington.
After examining a number of
registrants, the board was called to
order with Dr. D. H. More acting
as chairman pro-tem. E. J. Cronin
was then duly elected permanent
president of the Board
The work of the Exemption Board
of Nenana is progressing very satis
factorily, and as the present mem
bers are permanent residents of Ne
nana, there will be no further neces
sity for change in the personnel of
the organization.
Apropos of the work done under
the selective service regulations, Mr.
Cronin had the following remarks,
to make regarding registration in
Minnesota:
“It should inspire the heart of
every American citizen with renew
ed courage and devotion to his coun
try, to read sundry paragraphs con
tained in letters received by the
local Exemption Board of Nenana.
One such letter from the president
of a local board in Minnesota, in
dicates that the American people
are indeed awakening to the stern
and patriotic duty to fight this
war to certain victory for* Democ
racy and New Freedom.’
W. O. Baggans, president of the
Minnesota board, informs us, that
“One can but wonder at the great,
and almost startling change that
has come over the minds and hearts
of the American people in the past
twelve months.” Speaking for his
state, he says: “The young men of
Minnesota are responding to the
call of their country, not only with
willingness, but with the greatest
enthusiasm. The farmers are giv
ing their money, and the wives and
mothers are offering the dearest
possesions they have in the world,
they are bidding their sturdy sons
God-speed in the cause that should
dwell close to the heart of every
freedom- loving citizens in the land.”
“Minnesota can no longer,” he
claims, “be called a slacker in war
work. She is now on her toes, pre
pared to make things hum from now
on.
“Food will win the war,” but will
it win for us or Germany—that i;
the question for the American people

Secretary of Red Cross Is Told That
Life Membership Certificates
Are On the Way
Some little time ago, Miss Jane
Anderson, secretary of the local
branch of the Red Cross, wrote to
John A. Clark regarding life mem
bership certificates to which several
Nenanaites are entitled and today
received the following reply:
Fairbanks, Alaska
“Nenana Branch, American Red
Cross, Nenana, Alaska, Miss Jane
Anderson, Secretary.
“Dear Miss Anderson:
“Replying to the inquiry of your
branch as to life membership certifi
cates, we beg to state that on 22
March last, Mr. Heilig received a
letter from Mr. C. D. Stimson, man
ager of the Northwestern Division,
American Red Cross, at Seattle,
Wash., dated 28 February, 1918, in
which Mr. Stimson wrote, among
other things, as follows:
“ ‘Life membership certificates
were mailed in January to the fol
lowing members of your chapter:
Miss Annie Fitchette, Fairbanks,
Alaska; John Diston, Alex Coveney,
Con Beggs, W. L. Packer, I. B. Ball,
Dr. M. E. Smith, S. ,1. Cruikshank,
and C. W. Landwehr, of Nenana,
Alaska.
“ ‘We are mailing to you, under
separate cover, life membership cer
tificates for the following named
members of your chapter (then fol
lows list of members at Tanana,
Chatanika and Fairbanks, and also
the name of) George W. Penning
ton, Nenana, Alaska.’
j this is all the information we
I have on the matter, an as there have
| been a number of inquiries about
i these certificates, we presume that
they have probably been held up
with the second class mail and will
come on some of the boats due to
arrive within the next few days.
As soon as they come to hand we
shall forward them at once to those
who are entitled to receive them,
and your members at Nenana will
undoubtedly get their certificates a*
that time.
“Very truly yours,
“JOHN A. CLARK,
Sec’y, Tanana Valley Chapter,
American Red Cross.”
Hoover has summed up the situa
tion in these words: The time has
come for sacrifice.” Can we refuse
to see the truth much longer.

Salvage from
the battlefields —
The Allied armies find it very profitable
to salvage scrap from the battlefields. Great
Britain is saving millions every year from
this thrifty parctice.
If we could extend this practice to the
United States—if we saved only the waste
and needless spending of every day and put
the saving into War Savings Stamps, it
would help to win the war.
Your every saving helps the Government.
Put the small savings into U. S. Thrift
Stamps at 25 cents each; when you have
16 of them, exchange them with a few extra
pennies for a $5 War Savings Stamp.
THEY EARN MONEY
THEY SAVE LIFE AT THE
