BIG EXCAVATOR

AFTER^ REPAIRS
Big Bucyrus Dragline Excavator Re
lumei Duty After a Shut Down
For Repairs.
Taking advantage of the fact tha
the locomotives used in hauling th<
gravel cars on the new D line ha(
to be called off until the new re
pair parts which arrived in Nenam
recently from the States could b(
fitted on" them, the big draglim
excavator also closed down and botl
shifts working on her were busil;
engaged in thoroughly overhaulinf
the big machine.
All of the necessary alteration;
and repairs were completed yester
day evening and the night shift go
ing on duty last night resumed ex
cavating operations and loaded up :
string of flat cars in readiness fo:
hauling away as soon as one of thi
big locomotives arrives on the scene
The repairs to the big locomotive;
have also been effected and the;
were both under steam last night
they went out on duty this morn
ing and it is expected that they wil
be continually on duty helping built
the railroad until the coming o
cold weather and frost calls :
halt or slows up considerably thi
construction work.
The output of gravel for the usi
of the ballasting and surfacini
gangs averages about 750 yards pe
shift of eight hours, and at thi
present time there are two shift
working excavating and loadin;
gravel and there are also two shift
ballasting and surfacing.
All of the work is now done 01
the D line on force account, bu
when the track has advanced abou
a mile or more from where it end
at the present time, the gangs wil
strike some grade finished by thi
contractors and the work of layinj
track will move along about twici
as fast as at present. The amoun
of gravel that will be used on thi
grade finished under contract wil
also be less than half of the quan
tity now required.
The rails are now laid along thi
right of way where there is m
semblance of a grade and it is after
wards raised to grade level and thi
grade is built up with gravel haulei
from where the dragline excavato
is working.

NEUTRALS NEED
NOT JOIN ARMY
AGAINST BOCHE
Registrants of Neutral Countries
Not Liable for Military Service
Under Certain Conditions.
By a recent ruling made by Pro
vost Marshal General Crowder and
transmitted to the various local
boards of Alaska by Governor Riggs,
it would appear that by an act of
, congress recently passed the sub
, jects of neutral countries now resi
: dent of the United States, though
, required to register under the select
,1 ive service regulations will not be
I required to serve in the army of
! the United States unless it is the de
j sire of such neutral subject or citi
j zen to do so.
j The fact that such neutral subject
lor citizen has declared his intention
i to become a citizen of the United
• ;
I States does not render him liable
j for military service under the draft
i laws if he wishes to claim exemp
! tion on the ground of being a neu
j tral.
’ | The matter of serving in the army
I ! of the United States is a purely
I , patriotic one, and the men who have
. I come to this country of their own
; free will and accord and are en
I joying the same privileges, liberty
I and freedom as are enjoyed by
native born American citizens
should consider it a point of honor
to be privileged to serve the country
of their adoption in her hour of
need, and those who will avail them
selves of the provisions of the new
law to claim exempttion from mili
tary service cannot be looked upon
in any other light than that of
1 “slackers” at least.
' Of the Nenana registrants, there
-' are many who are citizens or sub
; j jects of neutral countries and would
I come under the recent ruling of the
new regulations, but not a single
one of them has, so far, made any
j attempt to avail himself of this pro
vision of the selective service regu
lations and claim exemption as a
I * neutral.
• i The subjects or citizens of the
following countries who have regis
! tered do noWome within the mean
> ing of the new ruling: Belgium, Bra
■ til, Bulgaria, China, Costa Rica,
: Cuba, France, Great Britain, Greece,
I Guatemala, Italy, Liberia, Japan,
"^Manaco, Montenegro, Nicaragua,
] Panama, Portugal, Roumania, Rus
sia, San Marino, Serbia, Siam and
1 Turkey.
Subjects or citizens of neutral
■ countries may be relieved of mili
tary service under the following
conditions:
A citizen or subject of a country
neutral in the present war, who has
declared his intention to become a
citizen of the United States, shall
be relieved from liability to military
service upon his making a declara
tion withdrawing his intention to be
come a citizen of the United States
which shall operate and be held to
1 cancel his declaration, and he shall
i
forever be barred from being a citi
zen of the United States.
i SPECIAL ATTRACTION AT
THE COLISEUM TONIGHT
Tonight at the Coliseum an op
portunity will be given the Nenana
ites to see the incomparable William
S. Hart in the title role of the ex
ceptionally strong and romatic fea
ture, entitled “The Dawn Maker,”
in five acts.
The scene of the play is laid in
the western frontier country, among
the early frontiersmen and Indians,
and the scenes depicted tell a story
replete with romantic thrills. Those
who have seen the pictures agree
that William S. Hart is seen at his
best in the “Dawn Maker” and that
the part he takes in it would appear
to be specially adapted to his style.
No one should miss the oppor
tunity to see this great actor, who
will be presented to a Nenana audi
ence by the Triangle people tonight.
Bargain prices will prevail on this
feature, the admission being 25
cents, with reserved seats two-bits
extra. The show will start at eight
o’clock.

KEEN HEARING HELPS
INDIANS AT FRONT
LONDON. Officers home from
the front testify to the acute hear
ing powers displayed by the Indian
and Chinese coolie laborers with
the troops in France. These East
ern auxiliaries are ever the first to
detect the nearness of a hostile air
plane and to fall prone as a measure
of self protection- In this way
they give a valuable lead to the
British and French soldiers, who are
comparatively slow in detecting the
difference in sound between the
'rival air machines.
