SIBERIA NOW BACK
 TO PRE-WAR BASIS

Nish, Serbia, Feb. -(Correspon- dence of the Associated Press)-- Three months of unremitting indus try. unhampered by Bulgarian and Austrian depredaaons or interfer- ence, have enabled the Serbian peo- pie to secure a new hold on life. With the country entirely free of invad- CTS, the large peasant population has succeeded in setting things in order in surprising fashion, and conditions should be almost normal soon.
 Large quantities of wheat and other staples, which the shrewd Ser bian farmers hid from the enemy, have reappeared. At the moment the most pressing needs seem to be clothing, shoes, fuel and agricultural implements.
 Apparently there Is plenty of money in the country, some of 1t hay ing come from Austrian and German soldiers, who, 1t may be said to their credit, paid for most of the articles they took from the Serblans during their occupation. However, the Bull gartans. who requisidoned almost everything they required from the already straitened population, often paid nothing for what they took. In the cities most of the stores have no stocks because they sold almost everything to the Austrians and Ger
 mans,
 Fortunately the harvest last fall was exceptionally good and there probably will be nothing approaching starvation among the poor this win ter. The enemy troops carried off almost every article of value they could lay hands on, but they did not have time, owing to the suddenness of their retreat, to take with them more than 26 per cent. of the avail able grain supply. Meat Is abundant though high in price. Before the war it sold for six cents pound, now 1t sells, for 6s cents. Large numbers of sheep raised in the mountains fur nish not only a valuable meat supply but an abundance of wool which has provided the peasants with the only clothing they have had in four years.
 Serbia's most vital need is for clothing. Even well-to-do persons are shabbily or, at least, scantily clad. The Associated Press cores pondeut observed an army officer of high rank dressed In a skirt made of four sacks. The little clothing that may be bought is held at prohibittve prices. The ordinary peasant work ing costume costs $150, shoes $50, un- derwear of poor quality $25, and thread is priced at $2 a spool. A consignment of old clothes from the Buffalo, N. Y. chapter of the Amer lean Red Cross, valued at home at SIP. was appraised at $1,500 by merchant in the Picot district where the Red Cross is carrying on relief work The Buffalo supplies were distributed on Christmas Day and brought happiness to many homes.

TRAINING SCHOOL
 FOR INDUSTRIES

The Training Service, Department of Labor, announces that it has be- gun work on the establishment of training methods for a number of industries not previously included ir
 it's scope. These include moulding,
 the jewelry industry, the textile
 trades, automobile manufacturing,
 and three distinct branches of the
 garment industry.
 Thus far the service has been
 largely occupied in working out and
 instituting training for metal-work-
 ing machine shops. That was the
 original work of the service, durin g the war. when the necessity of in creased production of munitions was so great.
 The success of training methods in metal working has been followed by the present extension of trainine methods to cover other large manu- facturing industries.
 Speeding" work, for many years customary in certain industries, is be ing abolished by training, for proper nstructional methods make it pos able for workers to accomplish :; arge amount of work without taxir. heir strength. The aim of the f tructor is to illustrate the quiakes md easiest way Of doing a givf 7sk. something that the worker rs icver be able to pick up.

SERBIAN ROADS
 ARE DESTROYED

Dedeagatch, Bulgaria, Feb. IA. -
 (via Iondon) = Correspondence of
 The Associated Press) --The extreme
 difficulty of transport through Serbia
 and the ruinous condition of ther
 country's railways as result of wan
 ton destruction wrought by the Bull
 garians and Austrians in their forced
 retreat, Is striking1y shown by the
 fact that the American Red Cross, in
 order to get relief supplies to the
 Nish section, has had to route it's shipments by rail east from Saloniki to Dedeagatch, then north to Adria- nople, then west to Sofia and finally across the Bulgarian border to Pirot,
 a total distance of more than eight | hundred miles.
 The regular railroad route north i from Saloniki to Nish is only about 275 miles and can be travelled in or dinary circumstances in twenty-four hours. Red Cross supplies have taken | ten days to reach their destination. | From Uskub to Belgrade, nearly 1 three hundred miles, the railroad at
 points Is wholly destroyed and dozens
 of bridges and tunnels are in ruins. | It is estimated that the work Of re-
 construction will require more than l a year.
 Two hundred and nineteen three l ton motor trucks. on a recent trip to i Nish arrived with only thirty tons of 1 supplies.
 The Allied military authorities have l ceased to reach northern Serbia from i Salonikt and the south, and are send | ing people and supplies by ship to Ffume, on the Adriatic. The food and l clothing situation in Northern Serbia | Is reported to be very acute. Ordin- ary peasants working dress is said to l cost twelve hundred francs and
 cake of soap thirty francs. The Am
 erican Red Cross is sending large 1 quantities of food, clothing and med i icaI supplies south through Plume.

The act of Congress approved

The act of Congress approved February 23, 1919, provides that any person who served in the United States Army during the present war lnay wear the uniform after discharge provided that it shall include some dist inctive mark to be prescribed by the Secretary of War. The red chevron has been prescribed to ba worn by discharged enlisted men as a recognition of duties per formed in the service of their country. This is now also des- ignated as the distinctive mark required by the before me ntion ed act and will be- worn by dis charged officers and enlisted men alike.

A chevron will be worn point up mid between the elbow and shoulder on the left sleeve of the coat and overcoat and on the shirt when worn without the coat. It is un- lawful under the National Defen- SC Act for the uniform to be worn by discharged officers or enlisted men without thIs dis tinctive mark, and the offender renders himself liable to civil pro- secution and punishment by fine not exceeding $500 Or by Imprisonment not exceeding six

Hugh L. Mosley, son of Mrs. ida Marks Mosley, was born at New Edinburg, Arkansas, on August 12, 1898. Died at Camp Hospital No, l, Gondecourt, France, March 15, 1919.
 He leaves his mother, three brothers, Mark, Dee and Ralph, all of New Edinburg.
 Hugh was a high spirited, pleasure loving boy. but at the first call of his country he re- spon3ed nobly, and generously gave his all.
 Qa June 28g1916. he enlisted in 1 Co. "C" 2nd Regiment Arkan- sas National Guards and was in service on the Mexican border until March 1917. In August 1917 lie re-enlisted in Company MP, 3fd Regiment, Arkansas National Guard, and June 1918 he was sent to trance and was on the battle front from July until the signing of the Armistice.
 That his friend may know of the prominent part the 57th Brigade of the 32nd Division, of which Hugh and several other Cleveland county boys were members, had in.winning the war, we print a summary of it's war history:
 The 57th Art. Brigade, fresh from the Argonne front with an envia bic ii 5hting record through the summer campaigns, came to the sSth division as Christmas present. Its four regiments were quartered in the Gondecourt area in time to eat their holiday din ner5. and subsequently, material ant horses were shipped into this sector.
 It was fitting close for the bri-  eade's war activities; for it was II this self same sector that it frs went into action last June. Fo d lit e lmore than five month; after that it was kept busy with out rest. fighting on five front over two-thirds of the western fine and taking part in two of the thre American drives.
