The money is used principally for food. as our tickets for staple groceries are ac- cepted only by the 80 large grocery firms belonging to the Social Demo- crats. Were it not for the Ieveling influences of the war, this concession on their part would never have been been carried on with absolute indiffer made, for previously their work had ence to all other organizations here"
 A t+war cook book' and two pamphlets on houashoId leconomy headed, ''To the German Cooks and s'Housekeepers! Help Germany's Fight for Victoryi'' have been distributed to thousands of families and are va1ua- bIe assets to the economy campaign now in full progress in the city.
 Branches of the associations have been established in every large city throughout the country, and it is inn possible to overestinate its value in the face of the present demand for social work.
 Although the Woman's National Service accompIishes perhaps the greatest amount of work done by the women of Berlin, there are other women's associations which are of great importance.
 The Ceci1ian relief cares for the educated classes whose finances have been ruined by the war Its chief work is done through other organiza- lions, but it has established several sewing rooms, under the direction of the crown princess where many wo- men are employed working on army uniforms.
 One Exclusively For Fugitfves.
 Two large associations run entirely by the women care for the fugitives who come pouring ins especially from of the Red Cross and receives the fugitives just as they arrive from the trains, carrying in their hands what little remains of their worldly posses sions. Sometimes 500 appear in this office in a day. Many of them are sent on to the smaller provinces. oth-" CTS are turned over to various relief societies in the city
 The Association for the Protections of the Fugitive has established ten homes for the benefit of the educated fugitvie. At a tea in one of these homes only war cake" is served made of potato meal and iced with the national colors. Visits are after ward made to the many families, which prove extremely interesting Some of the people come from the eastern and western frontier towns and others from French and Russian prisons
 The buildings of these homes have been donated by different business corporations of the city and the fur nishings have come from private sources. Each family, according to it's size, receives one or two rooms, and the rooms, with breakfast and supper, are free of charge. The fugi- lives dine at the Colonial Women's clubs, where dinner is served to 700 a day for 2 E cents. The board of edu- cation is providing the children with books and schooling gratis physicians offer their services; many people send clothing and tickets for concerts, 1ec-a lures and exhibitions are placed at the disposal of the sufferers

He is only 33 years old and looks much younger. He has been a member of the commons since 1910. and was ed. ucated at Eaton and Oxford. He has visited the United States and met many of the public men of that coun- try. His fathers reputed boast that he would be Prime Minister marry the richest girl in England and win the Derby, triumvirate of achievements which he realized, whether he ever made the boast or not, has not been very conspicious of late though he has made a number of recruiting speeches. He Is said to be victim of insomnia. The mother of Nell Primrose was Hannah, the oldest daughter and heiress of Baron Meyer de Rothschild, and Neil resembles her greatly in features. He has an early start in public life and his career is watched with interest by his fathers many friends.

The line referred to in the fore 'going as running to the east of Prince William sound is the Copper River X Northwestern railway, which has it's coast terminus at Cordova, and which extends 196 miles into the interior to Kennecott, where is located the Bon anza copper mine, one of the principal properties of the Alaska Syndicate. The railroad is also owned by the Alaska Syndicate, popularly called the Morgan-Guggenheim interests. A branch from this would tap the Der ing river coal fields.
 The railway running to the west of Prince William sound is the Alaska Northern, with a coast terminus at Seward. on Resurrection bay, and ex- tending through the Kenai peninsula to Mile 72. on Turnagain arm. This railroad was projected by Seattle men to go through the Susitna valley to Fairbanks, with a branch to the Mat anuska coal fields. The ownership of the road is now said 10 be with Cana dians banks holding the bonds.

B|G BOUT |S TO bE HELD
 SUNDAY
(By Associated Pressl

NEW YORK. March 23-If the pro. motors of the Johnson-Willard heavy
 weight championship bout adhere to their announcement to hold the con. test on Easter Day, April 4, it will be the first time that a ring match of this calibre has been held on Sunday. Championship bouts in many classes have been held on holidays in all parts of America and Europe, but pugilists and promoters have heretofore con fined their ring activities to days oth- CT than the sabbath.
 Johnson won final recognition as the worlds champion by defeating lief fries at Reno, New, on the Fourth of July, 1910; Bob Fitzsimmons won the heavyweight title from Jim Corbett at Carson City, New, on St. Patrick's Day, 1897; Jack Johnson gained his first claim to the championship hon ors by defeating Tommy Burns at Sidney, N. s. w, on December 26, 1908 which is known as Boxing Day" throughout the British empire. Be cause of the difference in time the re- suit of the battle was known through out the United States on the preced ing day-Christmas In other weight classes holiday bouts in which the championship changed are numerous Young Corbetts victory over Terry McGovern was won on Thanksgiving Day; Battling Nelson lost his light weight title to Ad. Wolgast on Wash ington's Birthday, 1910. and the list might be continued almost indefinite ly.
 Sporting events of various kinds are held on Sunday in Central and South America and Continental Europe but aside from baseball. bicycle racing, track and field athletics and associa- ton football, Sabbath sports have never been popular in the United States. In Mexico, Cuba and South America. bull fights. cooking mains and minor sports are or were held on the first day of the week. In Europe several classic turf events including the French Grand Prix are always scheduled for Sunday. Ring records show that few bouts of importance have been held abroad on Sunday, and American tabulations show an equal scarcity in this respect Where they have been held on Sunday the contests were those of the early per iods of pugilism and the selection of the day was due to police activity which upset the plans of the promo ters. Such a case was the Jack Demp- sey-George LaBlanche battle held on barge in Long Island Sound, early Sunday morning, March IA, 1886.
