Servian Capital Overerowded.

Nish. Servia, via London. Jan. 3d.
Nish has become the provisional capi-
tai. the seat OF government and the
ENTER well protected and far away
from the roar of battle.
Nish contains today three times its
normal population. Thousands OF fu-
gitiyes have arrived here from Bel
grade. Semendria and Sabaz, with all
of the worldly possessions they were
able to carry.
Only a month ago people were oblig-
ell TO sleep In the streets, and the ho-
tells and lodging houses let out their
beds TO clients turn about for day and
night. Those who had the good for
tune to have been able TO engage beds
for the night would not he out of them
long enough In the morning for the
sheets TO cool off before those whose
turn was for the day slipped in and
fell asleep.
All the cafes. the railway station
and the shops transformed themselves
into dormitories. The moment the
dirty dishes were removed from the
tables they were turned into double
decked beds. The luckiest individuals
slept on top. the less fortunate ones
underneath.
Little by little. however. this sur
plus population began to spread out a
bit. first into nearby villages, then
even to the summer resorts, until to-
day Nish. while still staggering under

Reindeer Save Eskimos.

the reindeer industry has made the Es-
kimos of Alaska civilized and thrifty
men. This announcement is made by
the federal bureau of education. which
had charge of the experiment of intro
ducing Russian reindeer into that dis
trict. The reindeer industry began in
Alaska in 1892, when the bureau Of
education imported III reindeer from
Siberia. The object was to furnish a
source Of food and clothing supply for
the Eskimos. The importation contin-
ued until 1902. A total of 1,2S0 rein
deer were taken in from Siberia. Now
there are 1926 reindeer distributed
among sixty-two herds, and 30,532 Of
these are owned by the natives.
The experiment is one of the most
successful the government has eve
undertaken. 1t has not only provided
the Alaskan Eskimos with food and
clothing. but a means of transportation
superior to dog teams. Instead of be

velopments outside the courtroom, be-

1t to be either a verdict of guilty or an

Thus far there had not been the

the proofs from his client. If he had
contemplated an aggressive campaign
or meditated turning suspicion upon
any other person he would not have
permitted Gilbert to exclude every 9TH
