NAVAL SURRENDER
VERY HUMILIATING
EDINBURGH, Scotland. — The
most humilating event in the world’s
history was witnessed by a con
course of people, whose numbers
it will be exceedingly difficult to
estimate, when the pride and glory
of the German navy as represented
by fourteen gigantic ships of the
line, seven light cruisers and fifty
destroyers uninjured in any way
and in full fighting trim, steamed
across the North Sea from the Ger
man naval base at Kiel and sur
rendered to the mighty Allied ar
mada, and Germany, as a naval
power, ceased to exist.
The Allied armada which steamed
out to meet the surrendering Ger
man ships was composed of the
most powerful units of the British,
American and French ships of war,
against which no power on earth
could prevail. It was the greatest
fighting force that ever went to
sea.
The German ships approached
the rendezvous, steaming in column
almost twenty miles long. As soon
as the oncoming German warships
were sighted, the Allied armada, at
a signal from the Flagship, formed
twin columns; extending from near
the entrance to the Firth of Forth
to a point away out to sea, the
ships forming the ends of each
column being invisible to each other.
PANICJTRICKEN
LONDON.—According to reports
received in this city today, the
greatest panic experienced in re
cent years broke on the Berlin!
Bourse last Thursday, when the re- i
ports that the extremists had usurp
ed the power of the local authori
ties at several of the German coast
towns, was received.
LOCATION MTY
TO LEAVE SUNDAY
Supervising Engineer H. K. Wardj
and party, who had recently re-1
turned to town after having finished j
relocating the line in the neighbor-'
hood of the Nenana Canyon, ex-1
pect to leave Nenana on Sunday j
morning for the Goldstream valley,;
where Mr. Ward wil pitch his camp.
Considerabl revision work is to
be done on the Nenana-Fairbanks
branch line, curvature eleminated;
and the line shortened, and Mr. i
Ward is not in a position to say
just how much of this work will
be done and how long the party
will be away.
Resident Engineer Hawley W
Sterling will be Mr. Ward’s prin
cipal assistant in the work of re- j
vision to be done, and will arrive!
in camp shortly after the party |
reaches the site chosen and estab
lishes camp. Mr. Sterling is at
present at camp 454, on the Fair-;
banks branch. -,£% I
The magnificient ships of the late
German navy then steamed majesti
cally between the twin column of
Allied ships and entered the Firth
of Forth, coming to an anchor un
der guard as prisoners.
It was the most gigantic naval
surrender in the world’s history,
and marked the climax of Ger
many’s downfall.
Men who were animated by Law
rence’s immortal order "Don't give
up the ship”, but faintly grasped
the full significance of the sur
render and could not conceive of
such an inglorious fate to which
Germany submitted.
An Associated Press correspond
ent who was present at the memor
able surrender, heard an American
officer exclaim that even the poor
Spaniards, who fully realized that
they did not have a chance in the
world, steamed out of Santiago de
Cuba and gave battle to the Ameri
can fleet, and fought until every
vessel of their squadron was sunk.
The surrender of the heart of
the once mighty German fleet has
raised the United States to the
second place among the world’s
naval powers.
The seamen of iho Allied armada
which received the surrender seem
ed to fee" a content otuous pity for
the surrei dering flee

Kaiser Bill and His Tribe Will
Leave Holland Soon For Exile
In Parts Unknown.
AMSTERDAM.—The presence of
the former German kaiser and his
family in Holland has been the
cause of considerable embarrass
ment to the government of the
Netherlands, and the former Ger
man monarch was made aware of
the state of affairs.
He realized that Holland, as a
strictly neutral country in the late
war, did not relish the idea of
giving him refuge; and seeing that
the safety of himself and family
in Holland was not very secure,
decided to change his abode.
The entire Hohenzollern dynasty
expect to leave Holland soon for a j
destination that is not known at the
present time.
Mr. and Mrs. C. Herb Wilson,
who had been spending a few days

BERLIN STREETS
ARE UNCHANGED
The Near Approach of Peace Hat
Not Changed Apperance* On
the Streets of Berlin.
BERLIN.—The streets of Berlin
still have the same appearance that
they bore during war time and with
the exception of the absence of
newspaper references to events
transpiring at the front, no ma
terial change is noticeable.

indicate that the Ebert cabinet is
still incomplete, and that their con
trol of the situation is not quite
absolute.

CLUB MEMBERS
TO ENTERTAIN AT
JOLLY SMOKER
Tomorrow night, immediately after
the picture show', the Nenana Com
mercial club will be host at a
smoker at Union Hall. The enter
tainment planned has, as its keynote,
the combination of business with
pleasure, and some of the “stunts”
arranged by the committee, if rumor
is to be believed, are said to be
real head-liners.
This smoker marks the initiation
of a campaign planned by the club
which will have for its object the
fostering of a more active interest on
the part of property owners in the
affairs of the town. It is realized
that Alaska will probably be the
Mecca of many from the States now
the war is over, and the Commercial
Club believes that Nenana should
take steps to see that it gets it*
share of the increase in population
of the territory.
As only a limited number can be
accommodated at the kind of enter
tainment planned at this first smoker
it has been made an invitational
affair, the names of about thirty
“guests” of the club being drawn
from a hat. For the next drive a
different set of guests will be in
vited.
There have been no invitations
sent to members of the Commercial
Club, but every member is expected
to be on hand.
