Owing to the utter lack OF railroads
in Central Serbia and the almost insur-
mountable difficulties of sending re-
lief from Salonica directly through to
Northern Serbia and Belgrade. the
American Red Cross early decided to
split its work in Serbia into two halves.
A Northern Serbian Commission was

Recently relief units working south
from Belgrade and north from Salon
extending approximately east and west
through Mitrovitza and Nish and be-
tween Pirot and Knajevac.
The Red Cross work in Northern
Serbia embraces one or more kinds OF
relief in seventy-fve towns, cities and
villages. In Southern Serbia hospitals
have been established or given sup
plies In fifteen towns, dispensaries in
two others, magazines and distributing

cellaneous forms Of aid were given In

BACHELORS WILL

There is movement on foot
among the bachelor residents of
Nenana to entertain the children of
the town on Christmas, with a big
free show and a Christmas tree, sim
liar to the affair of last year, which
was one of the most successful holi-
day gatherings ever arranged here.
A call has been issued for a
meeting of bachelors on Saturday
night, at the Coliseum, at which
time plans for the blowout will be
discussed and committees probably
appointed to look after the various
details.
The movement doubtless will re-
ceive the enthusiastic support of
the entire community, notwithstand-
ing the fact that IT is strictly a
bachelor affair, the promoters re-
serving to themselves the pleasure
of distributing holiday joy among
the youngsters in their own way.
