 Howard Merritt, the manager of the telephone company, expresses himself as well pleased with the experiment on Livengood. He states that the company will probably not install more phones this fall unless conditions in the new camp demand such action, and that the telephone work there next spring and summer depends almost entirely on the pros pecting which will be done there during the coming winter.
 It is very probable that, if con dition5 next spring warrant such action, the Livengood telephone sys tenn will be connected up with the Fairbanks lines.

AvIAToRs LOST IN HAZE

Miles Out Of course-FinaIIy

Austin, Tex.-Four aviators of the
United States aero squadron, after
being lost for nearly two hours in a
haze on their flight from Waco to
Austin, discovered their bearings on
Nov. 23 and resumed their journey to
Austin. Two machines arrived heie
on time. A third machine came in
soon after. and the other three were
then in the air headed for Austin. aft
er having drifted in the haze nearly
so miles westward of their course,
A>strong upper air current carried
the machines far to the west. and
about 11:30-the time when the avia
tors knew they should be due in Aus
tin-they began coming down in small
towns northwest of here to get their
bearings. Two aeroplanes landed at
Lampasas. about so miles northwest,
and another at Kingsland. a small
town a little nearer Austin, to take
new reckoning.
The two aviators who had arrived
in Austin sent out an alarm over the
telephone lines for the four belated
fliers. In the next hour many con-
flicting reports of aeroplanes lsnding
In various places were received.

BULGARs ATTACK FRENCH
Principal servian Army Has Now
Been Driven to Border and Allies
Position Now Objective.

London.-The Bulgars appear to
have abandoned definitely, for the
time being, their advance on Monastir
to attack the French positions on the
Csrna whore fighting has already been
reported, So far the French have held
their positions. but Saloniki dispatches
hint that it may be necessary to with
draw from Krivolak to the southwest,
where British-French re-enforcements
are being concentrated.
While the, results Of these move
ments are being watched with some
anxiety, better news from the allies
point OF view comes from the north.
where big Russian army is massing.
1t Is reported that Gen. Alexei Kuropat
kin Is to command this Russian army
Of invasion. which will either be sent
up the Danube or allowed passage from
Roumania to attack Yarna from the
land side. Other Russian forces are
being organized at Odessa and Sebasto-
pol, and doubtless will be sent either
to the Bulgarian or Turkish coast.
1t Is reported from Switzerland that
the Austro-Germans are sending re-
endorsements into the Balkans to meet
this new Russian offensive. but other
sources state that these REINFORCE
ments are en- route to the western
front because the Balkan campaign Is
having direct effect ON all fronts.
In Galicia the Austro-Germans are
attacking in the hope of compelling
the Russians to divert a part of the
Bessarabian army thence. While the
Austrians, opposing the Italian often
sive on the Isonizo, are unable to get
assistance, they are counter-attacking
with terrific fury, and thus far have
prevented the Italians from capturing
Gorilla. which has been hard pressed
for nearly week.

Prices Of Gems Soaring.


II anyone notices a broad and be.
coming smile on the fair countenances
Of their favorite actresses. there's q
reason. 1t is because the prices of pre-
cious stones are soaring to the sky.
Nearly every prominent stage favorite
has acquired a bushel or SO of dia-
monds. rubies. emeralds and other val
liable stones. That is the reason they
are happy. Under present conditions
they are not required to go before the
footlights and sing and dance or do
whatever their specially is. What's
the use when they can attain wealth
without effort? Diamonds are as vaiu-
able as war babies" The war has
sent the price of precious stones way
up and dealers say they are still soar
ing. This is because very few stones
are being imported. Then again there
has been a boost of ten to twenty per
cent in the tariff on cut stones. and an
other thing. the diamond mines In
South Africa are shut down. II you
have promised your lady friend dia-
mond ring or a bauble with precious
stones you may as well be prepared tc
see your bank roll fade away.

Allies Threaten To Withdraw Special
Privileges From Greek Commerce.
England Denies Biockade.

Instead OF declaring general block

The nature of these special privi-
leges is not specifically stated, but ss
an example Greece has been allowed
to draw her supplies of coal from
Welsh collieries. To do this Greek
merchants required special permits,
as the export of coal from the British
Isles is allowed only under special
license.
There are many other commodities
whose export is permitted only to GER

This less vigorous attitude on the
