Treasurer of the Sierra Club.
IN JUNE, Yosemite valley is at the
very height of it's beauty. The
deciduous trees are in new leaf,
naples and dogwood in tenderest,
brightest green, oaks tipped with
pastel shades of pink and red in
prophecy of their autumn glory, aza-
leas in full bloom, and the meadows a
ripping mass of exquisite grass bright,
ened with flowers.
After week or more in the valley,
following the better-known trails, get
ting muscles in condition again after
city-bound days, we were anxious to
see what spring was like In the snowy
upper country. Accordingly, as pack
animals were not to be obtained for
love or money, we prepared to make
pack animals of ourselves, and KNAPP
sack over to Mount Clark (11,509 feet)
on the southwestern boundary of the
park, the most prominent peak of the
MERGED group.
There were four of us in the party,
planned to be out two nights with a
comfortable margin of provisions for a
third night, if necessary. Bacon, hard
tack and that blessing to mountaineers,
soup, made up the bulk of our com
missary, REINFORCED, however, by
raisins, chocolate, dried fruit, beans,
spaghetti and cheese. Our personal
outfits, of course, were reduced to bare
essentials.
Share Alike With the Men.
We women who "knapsack" pride
ourselves on being able to do our
share, So while we do not pretend to
carry such heavy packs as the men,
we carry our own outfits and part,
at least, of the general commissary
supplies. Short-skirted, flannel-shirt.

and shocking bad hats" we are as
easy in our own clothing and as re-

men themselves.
In Little Yosemite we made a camp
beside the smoothly flowing MERGED,
and after lunch set out on ramble

WEEKLY WAR REVIEW

Rretreat of the Anglo-French forces
which have been operating in south
eastern Serbia featured the week.
Hard pressed by the Bulgarians, a
portion of the allied forces are said to
have retired across the Grecian prom
tier. The whole of Serbia is now in
the hands of the Teutons and Bulgars.
Austria is pushing her campaign
against the Montenegrins.
A Paris dispatch states that at a
war conference in the French capital
a decision was reached not to aban-
don the campaign in the Balkans.
Anglo-French troops will be main
tanned at Salonica, the Greek port.
Measures OF a military nature have
heen taken to insure the security Of
tie expenditionary force, and when
conditions seem to indicate that the
time is ripe, the offensive will be as
sumed with adequate forces.
Coincidentally comes the report
from Athens that Greece has made all
arrangements for rehabilitation and
that a decree to effect it is expected
to be issued shortly. One of the al
lied demands on Greece has been for
rehabilitation of the Greek armies,
but King Constantine has declared ne
would not consent to this step unless
compelled to do so by coercive meas
ures.
Word comes from Berlin that there
are indications of a hurried concen-
tration of Russian troops along the
Roumanian border. The Russians are
reported to be erecting large muni-
tions depots along the Danube, near
the delta, while 10000 Russian troops
are said to be building a railroad from
REM, on the Danube, thirty miles
eastward to Ismail.
In the eastern war theater there is
nuietude in the north, but in Volhynia
the Russians are sporadically active.
They have attacked the Austrian lines
north of the railroad from Kovel to
Sarny, but without result, according
to the German statement.
Russian patrolling columns have
been active west of the Styr river,
north of Czartorysk. but were driven
back by the Austrians.
On the Franco-Belgian front, the
activities for the most part are con-
fined to the Champagne region, where
the French have been trying to regain
the advanced positions near Souain
which they recently lost.
On the italian front, the fight for
the possession of Gorilla continues.

CONCESSION TO AMERICA
Great Britain to Permit Germany to
Export Dyestuffs.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Great Britain
has notified the United States of her
willingness to permit Germany to ex-
port to the United States sufficient
dyestuffs to meet the demands Of the
American market. The state depart
tnent was so informed by the British
ambassador, Sir Cecil Spring Rice.
While this marks a concession on the
part of the British government, de-
partment officials admitted that Amer.
lean importers need not hope to re-
ceive shipments of the much needed
commodity until Germany herself
agrees to let it out. At present Ger
many is insisting that the United
States, in return for the dyestuffs,
should compel Great Britain to per-
NIT the delivery in Germany of Amer
lean cotton or foodstuffs. This Great
Britain has fatty refused to do.

BY PARCEL POST

by way of Scandinavia. The citizens
committee is exerting itself to the ut

interrupted by the English authorities
because food was reaching the CEN
