Nome tri-weekly nugget., 1919-10-20

Despite q somewhat curtailed season due to the presence of considerable frost last spring. the Bering Dredging Co. dredge on the Eougarok river passed a satisfactory season of mining during the past summer and encoun- tered flow difficulties aside from the frost. according to Mir. J F. Matthews. mana ger, who arrived in town q day or two ago in company with Judge Wm. Wooster. Earnest Billmeycr. Chris Ol sen. John Rooney, Bob. Johnson and Mike Koputa. all of whom spent the open season in that section.
 Mr. Matthews says mining was con- ducted on n considerably diminished scale as compared to other seasons ow- ing to the excessive costs of mining, although the majority number who operated achieved fairly good results. High transportation costs and excessive prices, however. proved Il strong deter rent to many who have worked in that section in earlier years and resulted in q volume of industry considerably be- low normal. MT. Matthews operated the dredge on pay until the first of October but did not close down defin- itely until the eighth. the interval being spent largely in digging into winter quarters.

OUT OF THE STOCKING
 INTO A BOND

Women have educated women in the Liberty Loan and W. $. S campaigns. In the rural districts, where the roads gre the worst ever, il is the women workers who have done the missionary work from farm to farm and have ex- pIained bonds and sold bonds. The farmers wife generally has thorough comprehension of the meaning of a mortgage, and when they learn that these Victory Notes and ". s. s. are first mortgages on their beloved Uncle Sans resources out come those little hoards of butter and egg money froIE the domestic hiding places.
 An upstate banker received visit from a country woman recently who came in with S40O in gold to be cared for and put into Victory Bonds. He was greatly surprised to see the amount in gold and inquired concern ing it. The woman explained: T have jest put it by for years in an old stockin' cause l couldn't see no req son no way why 1 should let you have my money, but guess our Guvment kin have it. TLrle Sam needs 1t, and he'll take keer of it, l know. like he takes keer O me. He's gtvin' me a first morgidge, too, so he's welcome"

ONLY VOLUNTEERS
 FOR OVERSEAS

Coblenz, Friday, March 28-(By The Associated Press)-The an nOuncement by the War Department of its intention to send from the United States volunteers enlisted for use in replacing members of the per manent army of occupation who de sire to leave the service reached Third Army headquarters today. The announcement was made by the de- partment to alay unrest among the regular army division which are due for replacements and which contain a large percentage Of men who voIun- teered for the duration of the war, and among National Guardmen who are eager 10 return home as soon as possible.
 A plan is also being worked out for the segregation into the regular army divisions of the army of occupation of regular -Offirers and such other offic- CTS as desire to remain in the regular ar my service. The department, by this means, contemplates relieving as soon as feasible those reserve and National Guard officers who desire to return to the United States for busi- ness or other reasons.

CRETAN SOLDIERS
 DRAW BIC CROWDS

Paris, Mar 2e. Correspondence of The Associated Press) )-kings, presi- dents and pren1ers have ceased to be .. novelty at the Peace Conference, but the bodyguard of Premier Veni- Zelos of Greece, never fails to attract great crowds. At the hotel where the American delegation is housed and at the Foreign office, VenizeIos' ap- proach Is always heraIded by the ar rival of one Of his Cretan soldiers arrayed more brilliantly than a comic opera bandit.
 The Cretans who escort the Greek statesman are all more than six feet and apparently have been chosen from various organizations as a diff ferent man appears daily. and the same uniform is never seen twice. The swarthy Cretans all have small waxed nustaches twisted into up turned points and stand rigidIy at at tention for hours while awaiting NJ. VenizeIos at the entrance to the ho- tel or the Foreign office. The jibes of small boys and the jokes of various allied soldiers who gather in wonder ment never seem to disturb the i'm perturbabIe Cretans.
 Perhaps the most startling uniform worn by one of the guards consisted of white tights bound by tasselIed black silk cords at the knees, a red velvet blouse and sash, g red fez sur mounted by black silk tassel so long that it fell below the waist and black sandals with upturned toes topped by great black silk pom pons. This costume was completed by an ivory handled knife two feet long thrust careIessly into the sash. The knives and swords worn by the Cretans are the chief feature of the
 uniforms and make collectors of antique weapons very enviOus. They are of all sizes and shapes and have sheaths of great splendor, jewelled i and carved in a marvellous man. ner.
 Some of the guards are bare-kneed i and have costumes not unlike the ! Scotch in style but much gaudier in i color Others wear marveIIously dec l orated leggings reaching far above i the knees. Capes or oriental hues l are frequently worn by the Cretans 1 and add to the briIIiancy of the 1 Greek uniforms which make the 1 fancy dress uniforms of the French 1 and English look sombre.

PAMPHLET FOR LOAN
 WORKERS NOW READY

Selling the Victory Liberty Loan" is the title of a new pamphlet just pre- pared by Gilbert B. BOgart, Assistant Director of Sales of the Government Loan Organization. It contains valu- able information concerning methods to follow in floating the forthcoming Victory Liberty Loan and discusses the merits of the courses pursued in mak- ing the previous loans a success. The pamphlet also suggests plans designed to aid in conducting the sales cam pe ign.
 An interesting comparison is drawn between the amount of money loaned by the British people to their govern ment and the amount the American people loaned during the war. The analysis shows that the American peo- pie could lend their Government S50,- GOO. COG. GOO additional without equaling the hberality of the peoples of the AL lied Governments.
 Voluntary subscriptions, house to house canvassing, industrial plant or Canization, are some of the other things discussed. A copy will be sent upon request by the Liberty Loan Con- uittee of the Government Loan Organ ization, 126 Broadway, New York City

HOW THE WAR HELPED
 PHIIPPINE INDUSTRIES
Homer Cushman in World Outlook

Homer Cushman in World Outlook
 for March.
 Ingenuity in the invention of food substitutes went to the extreme in Germany during the war. It wasn't uncommon, for instance, for restaur- ants to advertise such delicacies as 'substitute for nlake-believe rabbit" Despite our grumblings. we fared quite well in comparison with that.
 One of our most unhappy expert ences was watching butter soar to- ward the dollar a pound mark. It looked as if little Johnny's bread and butter and sugar treat after school would have to be dispensed with, when in stepped the Philippine Is1- ands.
 One of the important ways in which those distant nephews of Uncle Sar- came to his assistance during the war, was in furnishing evconut oil to make butter. Before the war, the Philippines used to export their CO conut for the most part in dried. shredded form-copra, technically speaking. The coconut oil industry was still in it's infancy But when the war drew heavily on the worlds supply of fats, and butter became scarce and high, manufacturers found 1 that by clfurning coconut oil with a i little skim milk they could make | quite an acceptable substitute An ! increase of 200 per cent. in the manufacture and export of coconut | oil resulted.
 This is only a sample of the trade l prosperity which the war brought to | the Philippines. More ships meant ! the need for more ror". and the Phil i ippines alone could supply rope strons enough for marine urposes-Manila 1 hemp or abaca, the strongest cordagt | in tho world. Philippine tobacco anywhere, had to pile up on l also began to rise in demand ant l price. Sugar, needed so badly every | where, had to pile up on the dock 1 for lack of ships, but even with thi 1 handicap the total amount exported
 last year was only below that of tn l preceding year.

JERUSALEM

The German Emperor visited Jeru- salem in 1898 and in order that the Imperial procession might not suf- fer the inconvenience of having to go a few yards out of the way a part Of the city wall was thrown down. In strong contrast to this lack of respect for hallowed things, was that of Gen eral Auenby, who delayed his ap- proach to the city and the entry of his troops, because by so doing he might prevent the destruction of the price less relics within those sacred pre- cincts. The capture of JaDpa, Hebron, the Jericho road, and Jerusalem fore ed upon the memory many historical facts closely associated with these places. Many marks still remain 10 indicate the location and the charac- ter of events which formed a part of the life of a people so important in the development of civilization Pictures of some. of these places and the stories of their historical signifi- canoe are to be presented at the Y.
