 "There is a continuous agitation in this vicinity for the opening of several of these mining districts, fairly large placers having been found in number of places, and everybody seems to be confident that with the war ended, and cheap CT supplies and more labor in sight, that this Interior country will de- velop quite rapidly along mining as well as possibly agricultural lines. It is beyond argument that without these feeders the main line of the government road through Alaska will be a failure from finanical standpoint at least, and it seems that now is the time to agitate this very important matter, and if possible start something in the right direction.

SERB DEMAND
 FULL PA|M:NT::
 DAMAGE GREAT

GENEVA, Switzerland. - Losses sustained by Serbia during the war are estimated by Milos Savcic, member of the Central Committee for Serbian Reconstruction here, to aggregate 0,OO0,000,000 francs. This is exclusive of the war eX- penses incurred by Serbia and of the war loans which Serbia re- ceived from the Allies.
 M. Savcic asserts that the present value of the Serbian property would be double what it was at the time of it's destruction of 10000, ,OOO francs.
 Serbia and Montenegro, de- clares M Savcic, "have suffered greater losses in lives, relatively speaking, than any of the other Allies. Serbia alone lost about 320,000 men up to the arrival in Confu in 1916. One-half of her taX-paying citizens and one-third of her population perished from sickness, epidemic diseases and the unprecedented savagery of the enemy at the time of the invasion of 1914, and during the three years of domination of the Bulgars and Austro-Magyars
 Our enemies sought not only to destroy Serbia economically but to eXterminate her people, so as to rid themselves once and for all of the barrier which blocks Germany's way from Berlin to Bagdad.
 "The. restoration of Serbia will require certain amount of time. The enemy must return everything he plundered from the Serbian museums, libraries, universities, churches and schools and whatever has been destroyed must be re- placed. Germans Austro-M -Magyars and Bulgars must return the live stock which they drove away and pay for the timber, vineyards and orchards which they cut down and ruined. Agricultural implements and industrial machinery must be replaced in kind. The Allies must supply us with food as quickly as possible, likewise with textiles and medical stores, all of which are completely lacking in Serbia. De- vastated towns and villages must be rebuilt Banks, loan societies and savings banks must be supplied with money so that economic enter prise may be revived"
 Estimating the damages inflicted upon Serbia, MT. Savcic, who was former Serbian minister of Public Works, places the value of one years harvest in Serbia at 1,600,- 000,O00 francs and adds that the enemy siezed three harvests. The invaders destroyed 13O,000 horses. 6,00G000 sheep and goats, 2.000,- 900 pigs, 1,3O0,OOO cattle and more than S,00O,0OO poultry.
 Manufactured goods to the value of 76O,00O,OC6 francs were carried away or destroyed, he says. Dam ages to private property such as furniture, machinery, etc., he ,sti- mates at OO,OO0,0OO francs. The enemy carried off from Serbia sil- yer Currency aamounting to 30,c0O.- 000 francs and jewelry of about the same value. Acquisitions, en- forced subscriptions to enemy war loans and damages sustained by private financial concern; are esti- mated at so0.o00.ooc francs.
