NEW FIND IN
 TANANA VALLEY

Teddy Gleason and H. A. Bryant, two prospectors, arrived in town yes tcrday afternoon from the scene of the newest placer excitement in the Tanala valley, the find made in what is known as the To&lat. country, which is contiguous to the Kantishna coun- try. They state that they have noth- ing new to report except that pay prospects have been found there, al- though none of the prospectors have reached bedrock. There are but very few people there at the present time as the district is a hard one to reach. The scene of the new find, which was first reported at Nenana by Fred Houselman, who is said to have taken $l ,OOO in gold out during the late fall, is on Moose creek, which is about 125 miles from Nenana, according to the two recently arrived prospeCtorS.

The shaft sunk by Houselman

The shaft sunk by Houselman is reported to be about twenty-two feet deep. But, like Gleason and Grant and other prospectors, he did not find bedrock, according to the report. The shaft sunk by Gleason and Grant was put down only twelve feet, but they are exhibiting a few coarse colors, which they took out as indisputable evidence that there is gold there. They are of the opinion, however, that nothing has yet been found which would warrant stampede They had intended to "freeze" the hole down through the thawed ground which un- derlies the surface and which pre- vents the sinking of shafts to bed rock by ordinary means, but their grub gave out and they had to come in for an outfit. They will start back with their outfits within the next day or two, probably tomorrow.-Alaska Citizen.

MACEDONIA FORCES ARE
 SMALLER THAN ENEMY'S

Salouica and too little to undertake a serious offensive beyond it. say this, of course, with no inspiration and without authority other than my own as an independent observer and recorder of the campaign, but no one can deny a fact 50 evident. What ever may have been the needs on the other fronts that prevented reinforce ments from being sent here, what ever may have been the political and diplomatic reasons that placed re- strictiouS upon those responsible for the conduct of the Balkan campaign, the fundamental truth remains that the forces here have up to this date been compelled to adopt a semi-de- feusive role, for they have never had nearly the number of men necessary to undertake an operation on a big scale in the difficult country and against the numerous and tenacious troops in front of them.
 The objects with which We came to the Balkans over a year ago remain yet to be achieved. Serbia has to be rccouquered. Connection has to be cut between the Germani, Empires and the rich reservoir of men and toodstu.Ts in Turkey on which they have only begun to draw.
 For the Allied force in the Balkans 70 have undertaken serious operations with its electives so much diminished would certainly have exposed it to failure.
 So far the Allied offensive in thc  Balkans has been carried out-though

SALONICA, Dec. 20. - doubt if many people at home remember that in the Balkans we are holding front 25O miles long (haIf as long as the French front in the vest, and that this line is probably more difficult. mile for mile, than that of any other of the principal theatres of war. This front is served solely by two main roads and two single track lines Of railway. All the other routes of com mumcation. including hundreds of miles of road, of light railway, of broad-guage sidings, bridges, and cauSewayS have had to be built by the Allied army, and built of imported materials that were often desperately slow in coming.
 In addition to these works-which have literally changed the face of. Southern Macedonia-the Allies first built round Salonica an euuenched camp which is one of the strongest in the world, and then, moving ouwards, have occupied and fortified them selves along the whole of their pres ent front Here they have constant ly held up larger forces of the enemy and they first arrested ant then gradually drove back a determined offensive against their flank unti, now, since the taking of Monastir, it is we who are invading the territory that has been in occupation of the enemy for over a year.
 The astonishing thing to the ob- served on the spot is that 50 much has been done with the very moderate strength that the Allies have allowed for the campaign. There were times last summer, while sickness was talk ing its heavy toll of the Balkan force, when parts of the line, indeed, were held by no more than a phantom army. The way in which the troops were taken from the sector of the front and sent under the greatest diff fcu'.ies of transport to reinforce an other that seemed more threatened was an admirable example of making the most of inadequate resources.
 Our strength has been too great to| be needed for the mere defence of.

FRENCH MOTHERS
TO BE SUBSIDIZED

Harper's Bazar for February says:
One of the most remarkable results
of the war is a plan in France for
subsidizing motherhood. A bill which
provides for a certain sum of money
to be given for the first child, and
other sums for each succeeding child,
is soon to be introduced. There is
sure to be an increased birth-rate in
consequence. How often have we
heard father or mother say: eyes,
we should so much like to have an
other child to grow up with this one
but we cannot afford it. 1t will take
all the money we can save to give
this one a start in life" The feeling
of financial responsibility for their
children is deeply rooted in French
parents.
Here is an idea that Americans
might we'll think about. But it is
only one of the unusual pieces of
news we find in the current issue of
Harper's Bazar. AS journal which
brings you the latest and most inter
esting news from all countries, Har-
per's Bazaar is without rival among
American magazines.
