London, Dec. 1.-THE reported rout
of the Austrian forces in Servia, the
borders of which country were cross
ed triumphantly just two weeks ago,
together with the steady advance of
the German center in the direction Of
Warsaw in this, the third German in
vasion of Russian Poland, dominate
the war news today.
After occupying Lodz the Germans
have been pushing to the northeast to-
ward Warsaw, along the railroad and
one dispatch from Petrograd estimates
that they are only Is miles from the
Polish capital.
Although conceding in effect the
progress of the German center, the
Russians, judging from dispatches
reaching London, contend that the tide
is running in their favor in the san
culinary fighting south of Cracow,
where combined Austro-G German forces
are endeavoring to move northward.
They declare, moreover, that they are
holding in check the German forces
pushing down toward Warsaw from
east Prussia.
It would appear today that the Ser
Wan retirement before the Austrians
some weeks ago was in reality move
ment for strategic purposes. Their
sharp return blow, if the Nish reports
are to be accepted, has been extraor-
inariIy effective.

DEMONSTRATION OF BIG
 HEARTS OF ALAsKANs


 The heart of the "roughneck" is as biz as a wagon wheel. According to his means and the hard way in which he gets his money, the worklngman of Fairbanks and vicinity is a prince of royal blood. Rivaling even the fa- nous "baby stocking fund" in the early days of the camp was the sum raised to save the arm of a servian, George Aidukovich. The workingmen contributed $1,2OO from scanty pokes with grace that wealthler men might initiate. One gave $1OO, others $50, and one man who earned S25 by work ing day and night on a railroad bridge over Deadman's slough (the first work he had done for seven months) gave 1t all to the "one-arm fund" If this isn't perfect generosity. 1t is some thing mighty near like 1t. The old days and the old ways will soon be mist behind us, but of all the bright passages in the life of the camp tra. dition will call up no more unselhsh incident than the spectacle of knocked. about. uncounted and uncared for workingmen giving their last dollar to save not the life but the good arm of a brother.-Fairbank Times.

PRESIDENT WILSON IS
 'HUMAN-INTEREST KID'

No matter what your politics are, you have to admire President Wilson and his rule-ot-reason way of getting
 results. He is the human.lnterest kid" of the goth century. and any thing which carries the slightest tinge of injustice towards the least of us sends him up on his hind feet and an accounting is immediately due from the transgressors.
 When the European war started, American manufacturers started to soar the prices of foOdstuffa. The next day President Wilson instituted Congressional investigation into the cause of the sudden raise in prices and provided penalties for those who had raised prices without good ex- cuse. Before the investigation was fairly started, the sugar manafactur- CTS began to send the price of sugar earthward again. They knew they couldn't excuse the higher prices, for half of this years sugar-beet crop re- mains unsOld.
 Whenever war is on. marine insur. ance companies send the rates of in. surance up out of sight. and American vessels could not get insurance for their cargoes at less than almost the full value of those cargoes after war. was declared in Europe. Prices of freights went up and American ship ping by sea grew less because the shipowners could not afford to take a chance with their ships uninsured. President Wilson asked for aud ob- tained from Congress the necessary money to buy ships which would be owned by the government and carry cargoes at reasonable rates; then he obtained the consent of Congress to allow the Treasury Department of the United States to so into the marine insurance business, to give insurance to all American vessels at reasonable rates. He did all this in 1928 order and the reform is working today.

PROBABLE FATAL
 ACCIDENT IN PANAMA

FAIRBANKS, Aug. 24.-That a serious accident may have occurred on the upper Panama river within the last week is a report brought to Fair, banks last night by Charles Kerrigan ,and Arthur Mcintyre, who have been prospecting in the Chisana and White River district. The men state that while coming down the Panama river in a small boat, they found a big raft held fast by a sweeper near Johnson river, and from appearances, it seem. ed as if the owners must have been swept overheard.
 On the raft was war bag, bucket and box, the latter having some grub in it. Among the old clothes in the war bag was a pair of overalls, in which was found knife bearing the name of J. H. Hargraves, and it is feared that some person of that name has lost his fife or had narrow es- cape in the river.
 A diligent search was made along the bank to see if there was any sign of the missing man or men, but nothing could be located.

DIR. KRULIsH TALKS

NEW YORK. Sept.

He finds tu- boreulosIs to be the disease most prev alent, 7.s per cent. of the Indians ex' amined being affected, in one village 1se her cent.

COUNTRY CAN NOW
RIDE OUT STORM


 The power to add billion dollars to our currency, conferred by leglsla- tion just passed by Congress, puts an end to any danger of a financial stringency, and the legitimate pro tectlon of our gold from raids from abroad will still further strengthen our financial position. The calmness and cooperation shown during the last week on all sides in the face of a far greater danger than has given rise to many panics in tse past bears tes- timony to the American power of self control in a crisis and to public con ldence in the administration at Wash. ington.-Baltimore Evening Sun.
