WELCOME.
The Nenana News welcomes the
visitors from Fairbanks on behalf
of the people of Xer.ana, and hopes
their stay in Nenana w'ill be a plea
sant one. It is the spirit of Nenana
to encourage closer business, social
and athletic relations between the
residents of the two towns, and the
presence in Nenana today and to
morrow of a considerable number
of visitors from the neighboring
town will be made the occasion of a
special effort to make the visit
worth while to those who put them
selves to no small inconvenience and
expense to make the voyage down
the river.
The town has been thrown wide
open for the full enjoyment of Xe
nana’s guests, who will find a wel
come awaiting them on every side,
with eyery resident of Nenana ready
and eager to do his share in making
the stay of the town's guests an en
joyable one. That is the spirit in
which Nenana welcomes Fairbanks,
and later in the season the people of
Nenana will give a further evidence
of their friendliness by arranging a
similar excursion to Fairbanks.
So make the most of your stay
here. Don’t be backward. The
to-wn is yours for as long as you
care to stay here, and it. will be
your own fault if you do not let
Nenanaites make your visit a plea
sant one.
OUR BIG HANGARS.
Acting under specific authority
granted in the new naval appropria
tion bill, the navy department soon
will start construction on two of the
largest dirigible hangars in the
world Rear Admirals Taylor and!
Parks, heads of the bureaus of con
i
struction and repairs and yards and i
docks, respectively, some time ago'
received instructions to speed up the
preparation of the working plans, '
which were approved bv Secretary
• * l
Daniels today, as an expenditure of;
about $3,500,000 for two hangars
to house flying machines of the Zep-!
pelin type has been authorized.
They will be located on the sea
board. in New Jersey, and possibly
on the same site.
i
Ground area necessary for the
i
construction of a double hangar
will be about one square mile. Each ;
hangar will be about 800 feet long, j
250 feet wide, and from 150 to 200 ’
feet high. It is probable that all-1
steel construction will be used, and '
officials estimate that from six to'
eight months will be needed for i
their erection.
Provision for the purchase abroad j
of a Zeppelin type afrship, at a ■
cost not to exceed $2,500,000, is
made in the naval bill, and the
construction in this country of a
similar machine at a cost of $1,- j
500,000. It is probable that the i
machine purchased abroad will be j
of the British R-34 model, although !
larger. It probably will be flown !
to this country by an American
crew, the only other alternative be
ing to attempt to tow it by cables
made fast to a ship. Negotiations
looking to the purchase have already
been entered into with foreign na
tions.
After experiments with the for
eign craft, the construction of an
improved American-built machine
will be started.
“DOC” SMITH HURRYING
TO AID HOME PLAYERS
Dr. Malcolm E. Smith, who is on
bis way back from the army to take
up his old work as chief surgeon at
the government hospital, wired to
the Terminal from Tanana yester
day, saying that he was doing his
best to reach Nenana in time for
the ball series, but feared the Yu
kon would not be able to make it.
The wire stated that Harry Aber
crombie, anaesthetist, was sitting on
the safety valve, Dr. Lake, new
assistant surgeon, was rustling wood.
Captain McCann was working over
time to hurry the Yukon to N'enana,
while the sender of the wire was
helping to stoke the boilers.
“Doc” Smith is a baseball enthu
siast, and during the time he was
in Nenana never missed a game.
In fact, his enthusiasm contributed
very’ materially to the success of
the several series of games between
Nenana and neighboring towns be
fore his departure for the States
to enter the army medical service,
from which he was recently re
leased.

PLAN IS PROPOSED
TO MAKE SWEDEN
MORE DEMOCRATIC !
_ !
STOCKHOLM.—A movement is
under way in the Swedish parlia
ment to place the government of
Sweden on a more democratic basis
by so altering the constitution as
to give parliament direct control of ]
the nation’s foreign policy. A com
mittee of the riksdag has proposed
that the contents of all internation
al agreements and treaties should
be communicated to parliament, and
it is expected that these recommend
ations will be adopted.
Under the constitution as it now
stands, control of foreign affairs is
in the hands of the king and his
ministers.

GERMANS ANXIOUS TO
COME TO AMERICA
COBLENZ.—Statements published
recently in newspapers in unoccu
pied Germany that German laborers
were being sought for employment
in the United States caused such a
rush of civilians to Third army
headquarters in Coblenz that Ameri
can officers caused to be published
denials of the truth of these stories.
Many men, and quite a few women
and girls, having heard of the news
paper articles from the other side
of the neutral zone, came to Cob
lenz from towns and districts as far
as fifty miles away.
