ALLIED ARMY
 COMPELLED TO LEAVE ODESSA

GENEVA. April 10.-R-Recent reports received from Bucharest ad wise that the allied army at Odessa was compelled to evacuate that city
 According to the report the city was not given up until after one of the hardest and bloodiest struggles that has taken place in that region was participated in. Altho outnum bered in many places by a combined force of revolting Ukrainian troops and those of the soviet government the allies put up gallant fight and rendered a good account of them selves. It is stated that the Ukrain ian-Soviet forces were at least six or seven times stronger than
 forces of the allies.
 In spite of these overwhelming odds the besieged force managed to make an orderly retreat. even the heavy street fighting was indulged in. Allied ships, which were in the harbor, steamed to the piers of the port and every man with the ex ception of those who were killed or so isolated that rescue was impos sible. was taken to safety.

MANY BRANCHES
 HAVE FINISHED
 RED CROSS WORK

It has been said that every Red Cross warehouse is a monument to the generosity of the American peo. pie. It might we'll be added "and to the industry of American women" For if it had not been for the per. sistent diligence of Mrs. Housewife, helpmate of MT. Average Man. these very warehouses would have been but empty shells, or at best, stored with useless raw materials-useless because labor was not available to make them into garments.
 The women turnout the interior of Alaska con be numbered among the most diligent of these workers. Lack. ing the conveniences and devices which tighten household duties. they have still found time to knit many garments.
 The pupils in the Mission school at Fort Yukon. under the super vision of Miss Pick. have knit sixty pairs of socks in about four months, the last shipment containing sixteen pairs. Circle sent one pair of socks and two sweaters knit by Mrs. Bay less; Salina Pompell knit two sweaters: Matte. a native girl. knit one sweater; Mrs. Brentling knit three pairs of socks.

Mrs. Barber. each $1.00. Rampant sent seven pairs of socks. Mrs. Mayo knit two pairs <: Mrs. Clinic, Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. An. derson, Mrs. Floyd. Miss Joe. each one pair.

FATHER TELLS
 |. SON ALL ABOUT SHOOTING STARS

What makes a star shoot. dad. dy?" asked the small boy one even. ing as he stood with his father waiting for car.
 stars don't shoot, son." father replied as he looked down the street to see if a Woodland" had come in sight. What you saw just a min. ute ago wasn't star at all. Stars are million of miles away while that was probably not more than a hun. dred miles from us. not half the dis, tance across our state."
 What was 1t saw. then? It looked just like star"
 Yes. it did," father agreed. but that was just 8 piece of an exploded star or probably a small particle of the tail of a comet. falling out of the sky toward the earth. Perhaps 1t wasn't any bigger than a base ball; some of them are no larger than a grain of sand. but stars, you know. are many times the size of the whole earth"
 There isn't any danger of them falling on us and killing us. is there?" the boy questioned.
 Mot much." father said. "You see. they get so hot that they burn up before they reach the earth. at least most of them do."
 The boy was still curious. What makes them get hot. daddy! You told me the other night that 1t was real cold way up there in the air"
 "It is. son." father replied. and this thing you called Q shooting star was much colder than anything you ever saw before 1t started falling. but when 1t reached the air that surrounds the earth 1t began to get hot because of friction. The same thing made 1t hot that is keeping your hands warm by rubbing them together like you are doing now. You've heard how the Indians built fires by rubbing sticks together? Well, this particle of matter that is falling rubs against the air and gets hot in the same way"
 The boy stood and gazed thotfully up into the starlit sky until the long looked for Woodland" came in sight. When they had boarded the car. father told him that some of these meteors had reached the earth and had been found and examined He told him about one that .ell some time ago. and which hit the earth 90 hard 1t was buried deep in 1t.
 Some men know how to tell me teoric rock as soon as they dig 1t up," father said, land some geolo- gists. or men who study all about the earth and its formation. say that many precious diamonds are cut from rocks of the earth that once flashed thru the sky as flaming meteors." B. B.

FUTURE METHOD TRANSPORTATION
 MAY BE BY AIR

It Is said that necessity is the mother of invention.
 There are many people who just about this time of the year get the itching feet and want to travel. It wilt likely be about three weeks be- fore the ice goes out of the way so that boats can run. The trail is i'm possible for sleds and almost lmpas- sable fer wheels so the itching feel ing will have to go unscratched. Now comes the story.
 Ever since it was announced in The Citizen that the Burgess-Kar- stens auto line had quit operating between Fairbanks and Nenana they have received frequent inquiries az to when they will be making the next tr.2. Besides autoing passengers to Chitina and back last summer and fall they have engaged in nearly every line of Alaskan transportation, dog teams, motor boats and polling boats. The frequent inquiries have SC. tho two men to thinking over transportation methods and it is be- ueved that the aerial method will next be tackled, it being understood that Karstens is taking a great in- terest ill the coming trans-Atlantlc flisht. With the aLlounced cheap r.:ce of flying machines it would not be surprising iO hear it stated that these enterprising transportation men la! decided to add flying machines .o their transportation equipment.
