TREASURES OF ART
 ARE NOW MISSING

(By Associated Press Correspondence)
 LONDON, Feb. S-Visitors to the National Gallery, who remember it as second only to the Louvre, halt in be- wilderment when they enter it now, looking in vain for their favorite mas terpieces. It's walls are still plen- tifully hung with paintings, but the whole collection is immeasurably in, ferior to that of six months ago. Gone are the works of Raphaed and da Vim ci and Holbein; only one or two of the works of Rembrandt and Rubens remain. In fact. most of the real treasures of the magnificent collection have been taken away for safe keep ing in the underground vaults where neither bombs nor confiagration can reach them. Tn some cases-notice- ably that of the priceless Raphael Ma donna the empty frames remain in place. awaiting the return of peace.
 Another wartime feature of the gal lery is the sand bin of shiny galvan- ized iron. which occupies a prominent position in the very center of the room. The sand is for use in case of fire.
 A reminder of the suffragette ac- tivity of the days before the war is seen in the hideous class cases which surround a few wall spaces in some of the main galleries. One of the few Rembrandts which remain in the building is thus housed, the glass frame extending from floor to ceiling, and prevent approach within three or four feet of the canvas.

MINING LAW WILL LIKELY BE
 REPEALED

E. B. Collins, ex-speaker of the Alaska house of representatives and C. K. Snow, editor-miner Of Ruby, newly elected member, were in Cor. dova yesterday, and were very em- phatic in their declarations that the present territorial mining law should be repealed.
 Mir. Collins has his own legislative program, like most members of the i legislature, but he is also looking at the broad interests of the territory. He wants to see the present mining law straightentd out, believing with majority of the people that it is mess under which no one can work. Also he wishes to pass an election law, which, as a matter of fact, is vi- tally essential to all parts of Alas ka, and has some other ideas on legislation that he will make known at Juneau next month.
 'T believe" said Mir. Snow, that the Roden bill should be entirely repealed and that the legislature should begin with a clean slate to build up good and sensible mining law which the territory so badly needs"
 In other respects MT. Snow did not wish to commit himself until mat ters develop, but when it comes to drawing up new mining laws his help ought to be very useful as he is one of the real old-timers, one of the men who have followed all stampedes in- to all sorts of places and who have lived the real Alaskan life for many years. In addition to that he is a man of keen intelligence and good training which enables him to see the faults of the regulations which have hitherto controlled Alaskan af- fairs.
 He has been a resident of Ruby and one of it's chief citizens since the very beginning of that camp. Previous to that time he was in Nome, Koyu- kuk, and various places in interior Alaska. He ran for the legislature on the Independent ticket, but is dem ocrat in politics, although he is one of the men who believes that party politics should not be taken very much into account in territorial elections.

ELECTRICIAN INVENTS
 AN AUTOMATIC VALVE

Peter Dundan, electrician at Fort Liscum, is of an inventive frame of mind and has invented an automatic valve which he believes will serve to gain him a substantial return for the time he has spent working out the scheme.
 The valve would be especially val uable in handling any beverage that must be drawn with gas or air pres, sure, such as beer, ale, cider, wines etc, that require a number of feet of pipe from cooler or cellar to where the beverage is drawn.

RUSSIAN GIRL IS
 WOUNDED IN BATTLE

CBy Associated Press Correspondence
 PETROGRAD, Feb. S-The war has an unbelievable fascination for the Russian school girl, hundreds of whom have run away in boys clothing and tried 10 enlist as volunteers. Not a few of them have got into the lines, too, as the medical examination is on ly a negligible formality in many places.
 Among the wounded in the battle of Nieman was a broad-shouldered girl from one of the country districts, whose disguise was not discovered un- til she reached the field hospital.
 In all the larger cities and towns the authorities are trying to provide employment of wartime nature for women and girls. In Moscow there is a war hospital attached to each school house, and the school girls are assigned to work in connection with this. Each girl is made responsible for the clothing for one wounded pa tient, and the children collect the money necessary for the support of the hospital

BRUSSELS BREAD LINE LARGEST
 WORLD

tBy Associated Press Correspondence)
 LONDON, Feb. S-The soup kitchen organized in Brussels by the American Commission is now undoubtedly the largest in the world. Nearly fifty thousand people entirley destitute wait in the bread lines" every day. and six thousand gallons of soup and four thousand kilograms of bread are daily distributed to them.
 Unlike the bread lines have seen in America says a report from one of the representatives in Brussels, these are all people of one nation ality and all with a common and un. deserved misfortune. They are of all classes but we know none of them save by number, because, no matter what their station or the extent Of their misfortune, they still have r. amour propre and many of them, if they were compelled to write their names on coupons when they get the soup, would rather starve than take it. None of them think that they will always have to be in the bread line and every one of them feel that when it is all over they will want to forget that they have been destitute
 "The soup for these pitiful fot- sam and jetsam of war is all prepared in the large storehouses of the Inter national Express Company Van Gand. More than one hundred people are engaged in this work. Among them are former chefs of some of the lead ing hotels of Brussels. who give direc- tions as 10 the kind and quality of the soup, it's ingredients and their proportions Under them are those who clean the egetabes-potatoes carrots, beans. etc-and prepare the meat This entire staff is composed of volunteers. except the chefs, who receive at most half a crown a day.
 Prom three o'clock in the morning, when the cooking of the first 5000 gallons of soup is started, the scene in the circus-llke storehouse of the express company is one of tremendous activity with the moving figures of the hundred white-clad chefs, the fires ablaze under scores of immense caul- drons-all dimlb seen through the shifting clouds of pungent steam ris- ing from the boiling soup.
 When the soup is cooked it is sent under the seals of the commission and under the protection of the American flag, in large lorries to the twenty one canteens, scattered all over Brus- sels. These canteens were formerly schools, dance halls, Turkish baths, etc. During the morning, whenever one goes, women and children may be seen coming and going with pitchers of steaming soup and their ration of bread under their arm"
