ARCTIC OUTLET
Alexandrovsk Has Some
Pronounced Advantages Y
Over Archangel.

Correspondence Associated Press.)
CHRIsTIANIA, Norway, Jan. IS
When the new railway connecting Pc
trograd with Arctic port of Alexandra
vsk Is finished 1t will be possible to
transport goods from Tromso in Nor
way to the Russian capital in five days
time. A new steamship line has al
ready been organized to take advan-
tage Of the new route, and it is expect
ed that the railway will be available
within a month or so.
Although much further north than
Archangel on the White Sea, which
is already connected with Petrograd
by the narrow guage railway, the new
port of Alexandrovsk is free from ice
all the year round by virtue Of being
situated on the Gulf Stream, while
Archangel is closed to navigation for
six months of the year.
One of the difficulteis Of the Arch
angel route has been the tremendous
congestion Of traffic, and this will still
be a problem for some time as the new
railway from Alexandrovsk will at
first be in a roundabout way via the
Archangel route. But a direct line
from Alexandrovsk to Petrograd is to
be completed as soon as possible.

.Bfie S Sllt;U'e::y of
War Situation

The Balkans continue to be one
of the chief centers of interest in
the war news, although the Mon
tenegrins' plea for peace means
the elimination of one Of the ac-
tive factors in the military situa-
ton here.
Entente interests appear to be
watching closely the situation in
Albania and recent advices from
London declare that adequate
forces are now on hand to defend
that country. The belief is tndt-
Gated in these advices that that
Italy's precautionary measures
in Albanian territory have gone
toward safeguarding the future In:
terests OF Montenegro whose mill
itary collapse seems to have been
we'll nigh inevitable after the
crushing of Serbia by the Teutonic
allies.
Little attention so far has been
paid in Entente quarters to the
report that allied troops have been
landed near Athens as German
press utterances indicate. FROM
German sources comes additional
reports that landing OF Entente
forces has been made at Piraeus,
the seaport OF Athens, as we'll as
in the bay OF Phaleron. east OF
the Piraeus peninsula, about five
miles from Athens. 1

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF
THAT COUNTRY.

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Jan. 1S.
Germany has not made such a thor.
ough pacific penetration" of 1taly's
financial and Industrial markets as Is
generally reported, according to Fran
cesco Nitti, the former italian minis
ter Of agriculture, who has contri6u-
ted an article on the subject to the
current number Of the Dutch journal
for economics and geography. Ger.
many. he says, has only placed CAPT
tai amounting in the aggregate to
$4,000 900 into Italian enterprises.
There are hut few purely German COM
pantes of importance in Italy, he says,
hut on the other hand, numerous Ger
mans have actively participated in;the
working OF Italian companies without
nutting any money into them.
Revenue statistics indicate that last
wear the total OF taxed foreign capital
IN italy was approximately 00,000,-

French and Belgian; $22,000,000 Brit

Nitti, is chiefly represented by indi.

as managers of Italian banks and as
agents or French, Beltan and British
trading corporations.
The Italian authority further re-
marks with disappointment that Amer

adds that the great volume OF Italian
exports and labor to the United States
would seem to Justify the expectation
that Americans would show more in-l

Agreements in Six
teen States Expire This
Year.
STRIKES NOT IN FAVOR.
Men Will Continue to Work
Pending Settlement Of
Negotiations.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. IS
About 1900 delegates faced President
John P. White, when he opened the
twenty-ffth convention OF the United
Mine Workers of America here today
for one Of the most important sessions
the organization has held In long
time.
Before the convention ad1ourns It
will have outlined a policy that will
affect probably a half million coal
miners in the United States and Can
ada, Wage agreements expired this
year in all hard and soft coal dis.
tricts OF Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
Illinois. West Virginia. Kentucky,
Michigan, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma,
Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, Montana,
Wyoming and Washington. In these
states there will be new demands
made and If the powers that now con-
troll the miners organizations have
their way, coal mining will continue
without interruption so long as there
is a possible chance OF coming to an
agreement. President White favors
such policy and has stated that there
should be no strikes so long as there
are honest efforts made by each SIDE
to arrange new wage Scales. sE
The Union anthracite mine workers
have already formulated their de-
mands and the convention is expected
to ratify them without much discus
sion. This will leave the way open for
wide discussion Of the proposition
OF adopting a basic wage scale for all
bftuminous coal fields. Then will come
the adoption ola policy that will affect
all districts, anthracite and bitumt-
nous. rs
The Ohio miners have agreed 80
ask 10 per cent. increase in wages
on a mine run basis and hope to have
such; a. demand inserted IN the wage
scale to be adopted BY the convention.
Other districts are expected to fall
In line with Ohio. Leaders OF the un-
ion say that while industrial condi-
tions are favorable for asking for
higher wages and general improve
ments in working conditions, the con-
servative members Of the organiza.
tion will try to prevent the convention
from running wild and making radical
demands.

Gas Supply in

CLEVELAND, Jan. 1S.-Cleveland
city officials today began an investi-
CATION OF the shortage in the natural
gas supply which almost reached the
vanishing point in many resident sec
tions last night with the thermometer
close to zero.
Gas company officials claim the trou-
BILE is with the mains connecting the
West Virginia field which is the source
OF supply and promise plenty OF gas
in a few hours. Later in the fore
noon the gas pressure became so weak
that many manufacturing concerns
were obliged to close.
One thousand school children were
sent home because heating plants
failed to warm the buildings. Thou
sands OF homes were cold and cook
ing was almost impossible.
