Mercer, opposite on the New Jersey
side. Its hulk lies on the beach at
Gloucester, N. J., near Fort Mercer.
The cannon is mounted on a car

GIBBON OFFICER
I REFUSES!TO
I RECOVER FARES
| The commanding officer at Fort
; Gibbon has added considerably to
jhis unpopularity lately, among the
i draft boys stationed at the army
post during the winter, by refusing
a request to help the boys secure
from the government the money
they expended in traveling expenses
in excess of the mileage allowance
which they received at the time of
their discharge. In reply to the
request for aid, the autocrat of the
post is reported to have informed
the boys that they were not entitled
to more than five cents per mile,
notwithstanding the fact that the
government has made provision for
the allowance of claims for addi
tional mileage sufficient to cover the
actual cost of transportation. There
is supposed to be a regular form
of application for this money, and
while the operation requires more
red tape than seems warranted un
der the circumstances, it is quite
generally understood that the gov
ernment stands ready to reimburse
discharged soldiers whose traveling
costs exceed the regular army al
jlowace of five cents per mile.
Chairman Ed Cronin, of the local
! exemption board, is at a loss to
understand the action, or lack of
action, of the commanding officer
at Gibbon, and his advice to the
boys of Nenana is to try a concerted
attack on the war department, over
the head of the Gibbon officer, who
does not appear to have a clear
understanding of the situation.
Chairman Cronin says that he will
render what assistance he can, his
suggestion being that the claims be
pooled so as to make one transac
tion with the war department. This
will prove less troublesome to the
boys concerned and should expedite
action at Washington.
All of the Fort Gibbon boys who
were discharged from the army this
summer were required to pay ap
proximately $11 more in fares than
they received in mileage, and the
commanding officer at the army post
evidently believes that the discharg
ed soldiers should stand that loss,
notwithstanding the fact that they
already had suffered greatly at the
hands of the war department
through being retained at the post
for a much longer period than ap
peared necessary.
According to reports brought to
Nenana by some of the draft boys
who had made an effort to get out;
of the army early this year, in-1
structions were received by the |
commanding officer to release such j
of the soldiers as could be spared
from the post. He is said to have |
replied that he did not have any j
more men than he needed, yet some '
time afterward admitted to one of:
the boys that he could run the post
easily with a much less number than
were then there. Why he persisted
in keeping them, long after the
•working season opened in Interior
Alaska, the boys have not yet been
able to figure out, and their re
sentment against the officer is very
great in consquence.
A story is told of one of the
boys, who tried to break even on his
mileage by working his way up river
on the government transport Jacobs,
but was told, when he offered his
services, that he could not be taken
on board because he was no longer
in the service of the government.
Another one of the boys, it is said,
was-promised an opportunity to earn
his passage up river, but was turned
down shortly before the transport
sailed, no explanation being given
for the refusal. Then, at the last
minute, so the story goes, when it
was found that another man was
needed to make up the crew, an ef
fort was made to induce the dis
charged soldier to fill the place,
which he refused to do.
These and other complaints have
been heard, regarding the actions
of war department representatives
in Alaska, and there was consider
able talk, at the time of the arrival
of the boys here, of filing formal
charges against the commanding of
ficer at Gibbon.
