WOMEN GREAT AID
IN FRENCH SHOPS
War Has Greatly Increased Employ
ment of Gentle Sex In Variety
of Industries.

PARIS.-Women employed in all
branches of industry in France num-
Der $4,000, according to an official
report. This compares with 487, 900
employed in normal times. This in
crease is due almost entirely to the
employment of women in metal in
dustries, chiefly in munition works.
The weight which women can be re-
quired to carry in factory work is
limited to SIS pounds.
Women are widely employed for
inspection of finished goods, they
examine separate parts for automo-
biles; verify light shells, fuses, and
grenade plugs. The inspect big
shells externally and internally by
the use of electric lamps and they
test the caliber using complicated
measuring apparatus and micro
scopes. They nail up cases of all
kinds, even cases for airplanes and
automobiles. The women supervise
the buildings where men are at work
and keep them clean.

GERMANS TRIED
TO GUARD LIFE
Of SLAV RULER
Peace Treaty Contained A Secret
Provision For Safeguarding
of the Royal Family.

BERNE.-Repeated reports of the
assassination of the former Emperor
Nicholas of Russia have brought out
a statement in diplomatic quarters
that the German authorities took
care to guard as far as possible
against the eventuality of an assass-
ination of any of the members of
the former imperial family, by a
secret article in the Brest-Litovsk
treaty, providing for the treatment
of the former emperor and his fam
lily. This article as discussed in dip
lomatic circles, required that the
personal safety of the imperial fam
lily should be safeguarded by suitable
military and police guards, and that
their future surroundings should be
in keeping with the dignity of their
poSlllOI. IL was Ill dCOCIu-
ance with this provision, it is said,
that the Red Guard, which formerly
had charge of the imperial family,
was changed to a guard of Letton-
ians in whom special confidence was
reposed. The change of the place
of Imprisonment to Yekaterinburg is
also said to have resulted from this
same provision requiring safeguards
against personal danger to the i'm
perial family.
The prevailing diplomatic view
here is that the interest of the Ger
man authorities in Nicholas and his
family was something more than
humanitarian, and foresees the posi-,
bility of German support, for an i'm
perial restoration in Russia, if that
should eventually prove an effective
part of the German policy in Russia

NENANA|TE SAYS
GOOD NEWS BAY
IS POOR CAMP

can who left here last spring for
Good News Bay, via kantishna, in
company with Bob Dodds and others.
The following is a de facto copy
of a letter recently received from
Duncan by friend of his in Nenana
and is very expressive of conditions
in the localities mentioned and makes
one glad who has remained in Ne
mana instead of seeking those far
away "good things"
Bethel, Aug. /, 1918
Dear Friend
81 suppose you are surprised to
hear from me; we had hard trip
over sixty days to Bethel, and I lost
my leader-little Pete-and my good
gun. l left my wolves and one dog
up above McGrath, forty miles; l
expect to go back to McGrath in
September; there is no other way
of going than by boat, and it doesn't
go until then.
We tried to get over to the Nixon
Fork diggings but could not make it
too much water-and when we got
to McGrath there was three feet of
water, the people were living in
boats and on the roofs of cabins, or
away back in the woods.
When we got to McGrath, there
was nothing doing. Nixon Fork had
good prospects but no chance of
getting work there. 1t may make
a small camp, in time, and the Good
News Bay strike was not as as l
expected it would be.
l will tell you just how l found
it. There were thirty or forty men
and they only had work for fifteen
men; no chance of work for me, so
l did not stay very long, and they
are only working six men now.
Men are leaving Good News for
other places, some are going Outside
and some going up-river Discovery
is starting to pinch out; they have
taken out fourteen thousand dollars
to date, and unless they find more
ground on the claim like they have
had, the men that bought may not
get all their money back, so you see
how it is at Good News Bay.
"They have found prospects on
Slate creek, but it will not amount
to much. Water-M Moose runs into
Slate creek, and Slate runs into Good
News river.
Bob Dodds and l did some pros
pecting but found nothing but colors.
Twenty or thirty men have been
out for days prospecting, but could
find nothing but colors; they all
say the same thing: 1T is glacier
deposit
"Water-Moose, that is the creek
on which discovery was made, is a
blowout, but nothing more has been
found up to date.
81 left Water-M Moose on the 3rd
of July and walked across country
eighteen miles to a creek called
Con-Con, and worked for a fellow
mining there who had small paw
streak. l worked Is days and then
walked 35 miles to the coast and got
boat to Bethel.
"Bob Dodds is still at Water
Moose, but was doing nothing the
last I heard from him.
j 81 will close for this time with
best wishes any best regards to all
and the biggest share for my $3.50
pal.

BRITISH PLAN TO RUN
HOTELS In ENGLAND

London. Dec. 15.-England proposes
that English hotels shall hereafter
be manned by British. For forty
years nearly every hotel in Great
Britain has been filled with alien
employees. An influx of aliens is ex-
pected as soon as peace is made final
In the past Germans have had the
preference as managers because usu-
ally they could speak several Ian
guages. These managers would sur
round themselves with alien help.
The training which young people OF
England have received in hospitals,
canteens. stores and other war ac-
tivities is declared to have fitted them
for hotel work in civil life, and it
is proposed that shorter hours, bet
ter wages and better food than has
heretofore been served to hotel work
ers shall make the work attractive

And finding there the little inn was filled
Could only mongst the cattle in their stalls
A place for rest be givn
So in that humble place Babe was born
The Man of Sorrows destined to become
Whose years were@one long ministry of love-
Till He at last for crucihed
Showing by His death the way to life
The gifts most precious come from sorrownp hearts
Who with them that sweet sympathy bestow
Which their. own grief has taught them how to feel:

The first and sweetest Christmas gift of all
