climatic conditions.
Motor and tractor implements,
making labor easier in the trying
climate, also are necessary because
they would solve to a large extent
the question of obtaining a suffi-
cient number of workers. Ameri-
can tractor implements are already
being used successfully by the Brit
ish and French armies, and recently
an American Red Cross detachment
arrived here with the purpose of
cultivating the extensive plains south
of Monastir. American farm i'm
plements having been introduced,
should play an important part in
the redemption of Macedonia.
Water power is also waiting de-
velopment. Mr. Horton says the
principal grain merchants report that
the annual crop of cereals of the
three vilayets or provinces of Mona
stir Kossove and Salonika, in the
years proceeding 1890, was 100000
to 100000 tons. Since then the
yield has decreased to 100000 tons,
principally because of insecure con-
ditions and emigration of workers.
With the modern methods at
work and with some plains drained,
it is estimated that region should
yield at least 100000 tons of
grain, and with this done Macedonia
would turn back to its history and
again be 1.-The granary of the Bal
kans."

Eskimo tax dodgers of Cape
Prince of Wales in the northernmost
part of Alaska have no easy time
of it, as they are forced by the
native councils to pay for work, ac-
cording to copies of The Eskimo,
a Native publication. The Wales
council has ordered that the men
who fail to pay the village head tax
either in labor or cash must keep
the water holes open in the river all
winter, which is no small job, con-
sidering that the ice is from six to
twelve feet thick. The rest of the
tribal slackers were required to
make trail over the ice between
the village and Tin City. This trail
is used by the natives for hauling
in wood and is rough and bad.

MACEDONIA

Macedonia, where the fighting
forces of the Central Powers are
reported, in tdoay's dispatches, to
have launched an unsuccessful at
tack on the Allies, may become the
sranary of the Balkans as it was
in antiquity, as the result of the
present war. Only a part of its
soil has been cultivated in modern
times, and that with very rudi
mentary means.
The possibility of retaining the
uncultivated areas after the war
and utilizing them for growing of
wheat and other cereals has attract
ed the attention of experts who
have gone there with the Allied
armies, say Department of Com
merce advices from Salonika, Greece.
The French, especially, are inter-
ested.
Many of the soldiers there, of all
nationalities represented, plan to es-
tablsh themselves there and take
up agriculture after the war, re-
ports George Horton, American con-
sui general at Salonika. The SOL
diers have seen how rich is the
soil and what wonderful results it
produces with inadequate means. +.
European immigration, it is assert
ed, should not be encouraged until
three problems have been solved.
These are how to combat the marsh
fever, how to ameliorate the condi-
lions of the inhabitants and better
their homes. and sanitary surround
ings, and to introduce American
farm machinery and other saving
devices.
Marsh fever is regarded as hav-
ing done as much toward devastat-
ing the country as years Of war.
Fortunately, the country, which will
be benefited in many ways by the
presence of the Allied armies, will
also have the benefit of efforts now
being made to combat the fever.
A durable and efficient organiza-
ton, whose sole duty will be to
solve definitely this problem, is ex-
pected to be the outgrowth of army
organization.
For centuries the Macedonians
have lived amid unsanitary condi-
tions. Amelioration of this condi-
ton mlrt come before the real de-
velopment of the country. The
people have labored with the most
primitive tools and have rarely been
sure of enjoying the fruits of their
toll. Yet they must provide the
main body of laborers for the cul-
tivation and redemption of Mace

ARMY CLOTHING
RULES PUT MEN
ON ONE CHANGE

Behind the British Lines in France
The soldier has little or no choice in
clothing, and the conditions of cam
paigning are such that soldiers are
seldom ideally dressed The cha lyes
of temperature that Western Europe
can experience in AS hours COM
pletely BATTLE anyone who possesses
a restricted wardrobe and who is
obliged to live in the open. Yet the
soldier in France must be prepared
for anything in the line of weather.
In the British army, the seaso IS
are regulated by official routine
rather than by any slavish adherence
to climate. The first signs of spring
are army orders commanding that
all especial heavy" winter clothing,
such as trench coats, furs and sweat
ers, shall be handed in by April /.
And handed in these comforts duly
are, whereupon the weather forth
with turns wintry again and the
middle of April is perhaps marked
by three days blizzard and sharp
frost
Garment by garment the winter
clothing disappears into the store
house; sweaters, winter shirts, trench
gloves and mittens, leather coats
all inexorably return to the ordnance
department. During the summer
this clothing is cleaned, repaired,
sterilized and repacked in bales
ready for the succeeding autumn
and winter issue.
The clothes collected are replaced
by issues of lighter stuff, more suit
able for warm weather wear. for in
the summer, fighting is hot work,
and gunners perfer to serve their
guns in knee-length underdrawers
and shirt. During some battles in
the hottest days the men have STRIP
ped even further than this, and

Wool and flannel seem heavy stuff
for summer wear, but the British
army is old in experience and knows
the best all-around materials. Cotton
though excellent for comfort, is sa
to swell the sick lists rapidly, for
when soaked through with perspira-
ton it dries in such a way as to
chill the wearer, while the heavier
wool, though less pleasant to wear,
dries without ill effect.
The same standard outer uniform
serves the British soldier for all
seasons in France. One article that
i is the same for British soldiers "a
all parts of the world and in all
climates is the regulation grey army
sock. Experience has proved to the
satisfaction of the British authorizes
that this standard sock is the best

British army clothing may not be
handsome or even we'll cut, but it IS

AGE LIMITATION
NOW A HANDICAP;
REMOVAL URGED

BERKELEY, Cal.-That age limi-
tations in the matter of employment
for men who are physically and
mentally capable of attending to
their work be removed is one of the
main objects of the Berkeley De-
Tense corps. This is an association
of over 600 members, composed of
patriotic citizens of all ages and is
engaged in all phases of war work
including drilling, target practice,
making war aids for the boys, pro-
tecting dependents of absent sol
diers and securing employment for
them.
The association has sent out many
letters to government officials and
large corporations asking that all
age limitations be abolished Ac-
cording to Chairman john Nc
Clellan of the corps, the movement
is meeting with success. A number
of replies have been received to the
letters sent out. The following is
from C. R. Gray, director of the
I United States Railroad Adm;nistra-
ton at Washington:
''In behalf of the director general
II beg to acknowledge receipt of
your letter of July 16, enclosing
copy of resolution adopted by the
Berkeley Defense corps with respect
to utilizing generally the services
of men over so years.
For your information a number
of the railroads recently have dis
regarded the age limit restriction
heretofore in effect against the en-
ployment of men in railroad service
when the applicant seemed particu-
larly suited for the position applied
for, and consideration is now being
given the advisability of generally
notifying the railroads that such in
structions should be waived in the
case of applicants for employment
who are physically and otherwise
qualified to perform the duties in
cident to the position applied for"
Governor William D. Stephens, of
California, replied as follows:
81 am very much in sympathy
with the movement to have the age
limit removed so as to permit men
and women over AS or so years of
age to be employed in the places
left by those who have been called
into the service of their country,
and l fully agree with you when
you say that much of the best work
of the world today is being done
by men and women beyond the ages
mentioned"
/ Senator James D. Phelan, of Cali
fornia, says:
! Il will be glad to assist you in
any way possible"
| DIR. T. V. McGillicuddy, supervis-
ing inspector for the past twenty
years for large New York life
insurance company, stated that all
insurance companies will favor all
removals of age limitation for the
reason that it will prolong life by
its physical influence on the tissues
of the body as we'll as for its mental
influence. He said: "The old prin-
clpie comes in that you will rust
out before you will wear out. From
no point of view is a sedentary, lazy
life to be recommended for rich or
poor as compared to an active one,"

mark and has promised his cooper
