NOT PUSHING
 GOAL PROJECT

LONDON. Feb. 27.-Since the statement in Parliament last month that the government inended to take over control of all the coal mines in the country little has been heard of the project. It Is believed, how ever, that considerable has been ac complished behind the scenes, and tha. fuller details will be forthcoming early in the spring.
 The prime minister has assured a delgation from the miners union that whatever may be involved in state con rol it would not be detri- mental in any way to the interests of the workmen. In the coal regions 1t Is understood that there will be little or no interference with the or dinary machinery by which the in' dustry is carried on, and that state con rol will chiefly affect the dis tribution of coal after 1t is brought to the surface.

 BROOS, Transylvania.-Lo lines of refugees waiting patiently for a chance to get back to their homes farther in the mountains, hundreds if not thousands of soldiers return ing from furloughs and struggling to find even standing room in the irregular trains, time tables turned topsy-turvy and twenty to thirty car trains that begin their journeys two hours behind time and end them from six hours to half a day behind schedule.
 Such is one of the superficial ef- fects of the Roumanian campaign. The Roumanians have long since been pushed back into and across their own country, but it will be weeks before the disturbance which they created will have subsided; it will be weeks before traffic and other conditions will again have resumed their normal status; weeks before the festively-clad peasants shall all have found their way to their aban- doned homes.
 With the entrance of Roumania, war in reality came home to lower Hungary for the first time. It had contributed it's quota of men to the Austrian army, but that it had done in peace times. The Russian ad- vances into the Carpathians had left 1t unscathed. It was not until the Roumanians swept through the pass es and occupied portion of Tran sylvania that the Hungarians of their sectiond really knew that they, too, were in fight to the finish,
 The majority of them were seized by the same panicky feeling that in the present war has seized the in- habitants of Belgium. of Poland, of East Prussia, of Serbia. and of every other district that has been invaded. Without stopping to consider whether they would or would not be molested by the enemy If they remained, they flooded away from their homes in untold thousands.
 Now weeks after Pennsylvania is as free and safe from invasion as Berlin or Budapest or Vienna are

MAN OVERCOME
 BY JAS FUMES

While working on Peoples big motor truck yesterday afternoon at the garage of c. w. Porter. Ernest Tyo was overcome by gas fumes and for a time it was thought that his condition was dangerous. At the end of ninety minutes, however, he came out of the stupor in which the fumes had placed him and came around all right
 In all proba bility Tyo would have succumbed had it not been for the chance entrance into the garage of MT Porter. Tyo, it seems, had clos ed the place up tightly and had then proceeded to work on the eng g.ne, and had been overcome after he had started the machinery going by the fumes from the burning gasoline When MT Porter found him Tyo was lying unconscious on the floor of the garage. and it was only with great difficulty that he was restored to his senses

 Chairman rde5 is still at Wash tngton. Whether or not he intends to remain there until after some thing definite is done in the matter ot a further railroad appropriation, MT Riggs does not know, but he eZ- poets that the chairman of the com mission will leave Washington short Iy for Seattle and will come north 10 Anchorage and Seward immedi- ateIy after he arrives there.
 Commenting again yesterday on the dispatches received by The Citizen relative to the reported raised wage scale of the commission at Anchor age, Nr. Rigs said that he has not yet been officially advised of the raise He has. however, wired to the coast for information, and eX- poets to be advised regarding the matter within the next few days,
 Asked in regard to the organ zation here during the coming summer, MT. Riggs stated that, until more defi- nite information is available rela- tive to further appropriations by con- gress for railroad work, it will not be different from what it is at the present time. If, however, congress appropriates more money early enough in the season to permit any thing being done on this end of the line. the office force here will be in creased and a number of men put into the field.
 MT. Riggs leaves for his head quarters at Nenana this morning by dog team. He states that he is leaving the commissions business in Fairbanks in a condition such as will not necessitate his making another trip here until after the opening of navigation.

HIGHER IN MAINE THAN
 IN FAIRBANKS

High prices on all kinds of com modities, particularly those which are home grown, may prevail in Interior Alaska, but this section of country has nothing on the State of Maine, according to a letter received by R. NJ. Crawford from Allister McMillan, who went way down east" from here to get married last fall, and who has been spending the winter in New Brunswick and in Maine MT McMillan writes that the famous Maine spud is now bringing S8 per bushel on the market there, or ap- proXimately thirteen and one-third cents per pound, while no potatoes, as far as can be learned, are being sold in Fairbanks for more than ten cents per pound The increased de mand for the product created by the var, and other conditions in the east, is, of course, believed to be responsible for the high prices.
 The high prices, says MT. McMil- Ian, have had the effect of making the farmers of the eastern part of the United States practically inde- pendent. Most of them have been raising potatoes on their land, any where between 5000 and 10000 bush els of them on the largest farms, and the increased price of the pro- growers in very good condition, financially speaking. In former times the Tanchers of that part of the country considered themselves lucky if they were able to get as much as seventy-five cents per bushel for their spuds.
 The tone of his letter would indi- cate that MT. McMillan is consider ably disgusted with the eastern eli mate The weather varies too much for him, and he evidently would rather be back in Alaska, where the climate Is dependable, to say the least, than to be in New Brunswick, where he has spent most of the winter. In describing weather con ditions he says that it is pouring rain one day, and that the next is anywhere from ten to fifteen below zero, with heavy winds. Excepting on the cold days the rain is practi- cally continuous, he says, and when it is cold snow falls. There was three and one-half feet of snow on the ground at the time that the let ter was written

 The plan is for every business man who receives the letter to make four copies of it and pass 1t on, numbering the letter The numbers placed on Mir. de Journels four let ters was 145, consequently the mum Der which MT Crawford will place 1 be 146.

HUNGARIAN DIET
 FIXES NEW OATH

BUDAPEST, Mar. 14.-The oath which the new King of Hungary took at the coronation ceremonies here, as prepared by the Hungarian Parliamentary committee, was eX- pressly worded so that in connec- tion with any peace arrangement it will be almost impossible for the king emperor to make any cession of territory without the consent of the Austrian and Hungarian parlia- ments. The oath reads: We. Charles the First, Emperor of Austria, the fourth King of Hungary by this name etc, swear by God and all His Saints that we will respect the freedom, liberties and rights of all our subjects .. and that we shall under no circumstances alienate any parts of Hungary, Croatia, Slavonia. and Dalmatia; on the contrary we shall so far as in our power increase their territories and extend their boundaries, and shall do all we can in the interests and glory of all these States of ours"

INSANE: MAN |S
 ROAMING HILLS

Jack KannClly, the well known Cir cle oldtimer, who is recent arrival in Fairbanks, reports that an insane man is roaming in the hills between the Chatanika and Tolovana rivers. He is believed to be the Russian who was reported to be insane on Dome creek last fall, and who went from there into the Big Cinema coun- try.
 According to MT Kannelly, the man is wearing but very little cloth ing. He will not allow anyone to approach near enough to him to render aid. standing them off at the point of a rifle which he never lets out of his hands.
 Several people are reported to have had experiences with the supposed insane man on the Circle trail. He is also reported to have come into Chatanika recently, and from there was headed toward the Tolovana country when last seen. Just how he has been able to live all winter in the hills nobody seems able 70 state.
