LONDON TREATY,
ITALH CLAIMS
WASHINGTON, Apr. 26.—Sec
reary of the Interior Franklin K
Lane issued a statement today, ex
plaining the terms of the secret
London treaty, which gave Fiume to
the Italians in consideration of
their entry into the war on the
Allied side.
Fiume is a port in Croatia, which
is now part of Jugo-Slovakia, and
President WTilson insists that Fiume
shall belong to Jugo-Slovakia, in
spite of the London treaty.
The Italian claim to this port is
based on her desire to possess it
and dominate the Adriatic, shutting
off the Jugo-Slavs from an outlet
to the sea.
Italy, with Venice and Trieste,
1^ can live happily without Fiume,
whereas, the Jugo-Slavs cannot do
so without having access to the sea
through Fiume.
To compress air an Italian has
invented an engine without any fly
wheel, a piston driven back and forth
in a cylinder by oil fuel pushing the
air ahead of it at each end.

consolatioETpool
CLOSED LAST NIGHT;
IS WELL SUPPORTED
._
Sharp at midnight last night, the
eonsolation ice pool, which was
• started immediately after the close
of the big ice pool, was closed, with
867 chances sold. There was quite
a rush for chances during the clos
ing hours, and a brisk business was
done at all the pool halls and other
places where the tickets were on
sale.
One thousand tickets were printed
for the consolation ice pool, of
which 133 remained unsold at mid
night, and these were destroyed in
the presence of the committee and
j some other Nenanaites.
The expenses incurred in connec
tion with the pool for printing and
incidentals amounted to $8, leaving
a balance of $425.50, which will be
paid to the lucky winner.
It is estimated that approximately
$3,200 were subscribed toward the
pools in Nenana on the breakup.
This includes the big pool, the con
solation and the several minute
pools, but does not take into ac
count the various pools out on the
line.
A new window seat which also
forms a radiator cover contains a
tank to hold water to make more

ViCTOrToRIVE
IS SATISFACTORY
SALES CONTINUE
The Victory Liberty Loan drive,
which commenced on Monday, still i
continues and the results obtained
so far are considered fairly satis-^
factory.
The bonds may be purchased
either outright or on the instalment
plan at the Northern Commercial
Co., the disbursing office of the
A. E. C., the postoffice, and from
the Ladies’ committee, the members
of which will thoroughly canvass
the towrn.
It is expected that one of the
members of the Ladies’ committee
will journey out the line in a few
days and give the men stationed in
the distant camps of the A. E. C.
an opportunity to invest in these
securities.
Great things are expected of the
ladies, who, as on all previous occa
sions of a like nature will, no doubt
go considerably “Over the top” in
the sales.
Up to this morning, the Ladies’
committee had sold Victory Loan
bonds amounting to $12,000, and it
is expected that they wijl more than
cover the allotment.
ADRIATIC STAND
PARIS, Apr. 6.—An official an
nouncement made this morning, on
behalf of the Inter-Allied Peace
Conference, definitely states that
Premier Clemenceau of France, and
Premier Lloyd George of Great
Britain, did not approve the state
ment made by President Wilson last
Wednesday, on the Adriatic prob
lems.
In the statement referred to,
President Wilson positively affirmed
that the city of Fiume cannot be
come part of Italy. He also stated
that conditions governing the Adri
atic settlement had undergone a
considerable change since the rati
fication of the secret treaty be
tween England and Italy, in terms
of which Italy was to get Fiume
and the Dalmatian coast as part
compensation for entering the war
on the side of the Allies.
The creation of a new state since
the end of the war, the statement
added, rendered the possession of
Fiume and the Palmation coast by
Italy impossible.
ICE DANGEROUS;
ENTIRE OUTFIT
LOSE BY MINER
A Nelson, who arrived in town
this afternoon from Wood river,
brings word of the total loss of
the entire outfit, including sled and
dogs, belonging to Jack Adams, in
the Tanana river, near the mouth of
Wood river.
Jack Adams, well known mining
man, returning from the Stuyahok
country, left Nenana Thursday
morning with a sled drawn by five
dogs on his way to Fairbanks. The
sled contained his camping outfit,
rifle, etc.
It would appear that near the con
fluence of the Wood river with
the Tanana the ice gave way under
the sled, and ere Adams could do
anything to save it, it was drawn
under by the current and disappeared
s f
beneath the ice, taking the dogs with
it. The report states that Jack
Adams barely managed to save him
self and make the shore.
It is thought unlikely that Adams
will continue on the river ice after
this experience, but that he will take
the land trail home, toward which
he is now said to be traveling.
A patent has been granted for a
table fountain from which the water
is forced by the expansion of air
heated by an incandescent lamp in a
tight vessel.
