Clark X Co.'S Letter

New York, September 7.--Today was the calm which always precedes and follows the storm. The forecast was for rough weather throughout the belt on the day of rest, and this acted as deterrent to bearish activity. Prices for cotton are gradually advancing to the level of the convertible value and on this basis prices will finally and eventually rest. It looks like flying in the face of fate to go short of the market.-Clark and Co.
 ~. E. Campbell & Co.'s Cotton Letter
 Our market today was in the nature of week -end realizing market. There is still great many reports of very bullish spot demand and we learn from one spot concern that there is ten buy CTS for each bale of cotton offered for sale The foreign financial situation is steadily improving, the stock market shows good signs of improvement. the steel strike seems to be clearing some what, but the illness of President Will son caused few traders to take out their contracts and await developments, both here and as to the railroad strike in England, which seems to be quite serious
 We advise our friends to pick up cotton on all recessions.-W. E. Camp bell and Co.

FIRST CEMENT SHIP
LAUNCHED IN FRANCE

PARIS, Feb. 20. - The CANA
fran /, which has just been launch
ed on the Seine, is the first of
what is expected to be a large
fleet of cement ships to be built in
France this spring, mainly to car
ry coal from England.
These ships are of a standard
type of about 1000 tons displace-
ment and the French are proud of
the fact that all the material used
in the construction of this first
unit of their new cement fleet was
produced in France. The CANA
fran l is F~rench-built throughout,
down to the smallest detail. The
steel used in the construction of
the framework was scrap metal
from the battlefields.
The vessel was launched stem
first. said to be the first time
this has been accomplished with
a cement ship of this tonnage.
Many French ship building experts
had expressed fears of mishaps,
but nothing untoward occurred.

INTELLIGENT RUSS CRITICISED
FOR FAILURE TO help country

vLADIvOSTOK, Feb. IL. - In
telligent Russians are criticized by
the Dalekaya Okraina for their al
sIeged failure to help themselves in
their misfortunes. Newspapers
are attacking the allies" the pa
per says, approaching them for
lack of active assistance"
perhaps the allies have not
taken all the measures desirable
from the Russian point of view, but
before ~reproaching them we must
in fairness ask, what have the
Russian citizens themselves, espec-
tally the intelligentsia, done for
their W defense and for their
own interests. Are the citizens
ready to sacrifice ever a share of
their W interests for the COM
mon cause? With words they are
ready to do everything, but they
prove nothing by deeds. Even the
privileged class does not partici-
pate in the city elections.

lage of Ponor, and eventually to
Prot, his home. From that time,
81 months, he concealed himself
from the Bulgars under the floor
of the house. He lived almost like
a rat, food being lowered to him
through a hole in the floor. The
Associated Press correspondent Wis
tied this place and saw the wretch
ed conditions under which Yont-
schitch lived. When the priest
emerged from his self-imposed con-
finement, his appearance had so
changed that his friends failed to
recognize him. He was later seiz-
ed by the Bulgars and sent to a
prison camp at Eski Djuma, near
the Rumanian border, where for
three months his only food was a
slice of bread and a few pieces
of leek each day. When the war
ceased he and $50 other Serbian
priests we're returned home.
To confirm the priests story,
the correspondent visited the spot
where the victims of the massacre
were buried. The place is obscur-
ed on all sides by mountains.
Many bones, skulls and parts of
the priests vestments were scatter
ed about in confusion. The cor
respondent found near the bones
a number of empty cartridges of
Bulgarian manufacture. Little
candles had been placed in the
ground by local peasants who came
each day to say prayers over the
graves after the Bulgarian evacu-
alton.

AT the outset of the val all

SHOWS
BRUTALITY
IN RAID
BANDIT WARNS AMERICANS TO
HAVE TRIBUTE
READY
CHIHUAHUA City, Mexico, Eel

CHIHUAHUA City, Mexico, Feb.
IA. Francisco Villas recent
raid on Santa Eulalia, 16 miles
from here and the center of a
thickly settled mining district, was
typical of his raiding methods.
Dashing itno the mining town
at dawn he shot the sentries of
the little federal garrison, executed
the captain in command and made
prisoners of the remaining 80
guards. His men found Antonio
.Cabello asleep in his home and
took him before Villa in his night
clothes. Because of a grudge of
long standing, Villa ordered him
executed, but postponed the exc
cution until he could round up all
of the Americans in camp.
Some of the American mining
officials, hearing the shooting, fled
to the hills and were fired upon
by the Villa men. Others, includ-
ing the officials of the American
Smelling & Refining company, the
Buena TERRA company and other
mines, were brought before Villa,
who was established in the offices
of one of the mining companies,
which had been looted and the
records and papers destroyed.
The Americans were taken to a
tramway support, where they were
forced to witness the hanging of
Cabello. former mayor of Santa
Eulalia. AS his body was swing
ing from the rope, Villa told the
Americans he had not then decid-
ed whether or not he would hang
them. He told them he would
postpone his decision until later.
Villa made a speech to the Mex
leans who gathered to see the ex-
ecution, told them the Americans
were no paying enough wages and
ordered them to make a demon
~stration for higher wages. Later
he permitted the Americans to
leave for Chihuahua City after he
ordered them to report to their
companies that he would return
on March II and, if heavy tributes
were not paid to his agents by that
time, he would burn the plants

GIRLS IN
ENGLAND AWAKENED
BY WAR LABORS

LONDON, Feb. 20. = Time was
when Americans, harrassed by the
servant problem, came to England
to live. Here they could keep
house in peace and sing the vir-
tues of English domestics, making
comparisons based on experience in
the United States with servants of
every race and color.
They declared that from house
keeper and cook-general to nurse
and between-maid the English
serving women had no peers; they
worked, harder, better, steadier,
longer hours and with more will
lingness and for less pay than SER
wants in any other part of the
world.
Now many of these Americans
arc returning home. They haze
not modified their notions about
English servants, but they simply
cannot hire them any more. Eng
land, as a result of the war, is
having her own servant problem.
The trouble began when the SER
want girls flocked into war work.
Householders were greatly incon-
venienced and large numbers clos
ed up their dwellings and moved
into hotels. Others did their own
work, expecting the servants would
return when the war ended.
But the fighting has been over
a long time now, scores of NUM-
ton factories have closed, and still
the girls have not returned to
their old employment. Whether
they ever will return is a ~favorite
subject of gloomy speculation at
many a tea table.

to avoid the trip out over the snow
trail this spring.
Luther G.. Hess, a lawyer and
banker of Fairbanks, who was
speaker of the 1917 house, will be
a member this year. He may run
for the s~peakership.
Among the members of the SEN
ate will be James r. Hickman,
'Keachikan merchant; William
Britt, Juneau druggist; John Ro-

PHYSICAL TRAINING
N SCHOOLS BO0MS
AS WAR RESULT

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 20
A quickened appreciation in all
nations of the value of physical ed
ucation has resulted from the war,
according to DR.. P. P. C~laXtOn,
commissioner of the bureau of edu-
cation, and has been evidenced in
this country by the enactment of
laws in eight states requiring ply
steal training in the public schools.
A bulletin isued by the bureau,
summarizing legislation on the sub
ject, notes that in France a strong
central committee has been formed
to promote physical education and
in England comprehensive provis-
ions have been incorporated in the
new e%nducation law.
Illinois was the first or the
American states to require physical
training by statute, passing the
law in June, 1915. Since that time
New York, New Jersey, Nevada,
Rhode Island, California, Maryland
and Delaware have enacted similar
laws and six other states, Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvan-
ia. Nebraska, Ohio and Colorado,
have given legislative attention to
the subject, but have not acted.
In most states which have on
sidered physical education, the ini-
tial impulse to action was interest
in military preparedness and took
the form of bills for military train
ing of high school boys. ~Investi-
cation resulted in convincing the
legislators, the Bulletin says, that
military training for youths was
less valuable even as a measure for
preparedness than a solid system
of physical training.
With the exception of Nevada,
where the law applies to high
schools only, the laws apply to all
school children and the time re-
Guirement ranges from one hour
each school week to two and one
half hours.

ing particularly with the subject of
electric welding; a presentation Of
welding mild steel, by H. M. Ho-
bart, which served as a joint report
of the national research council
and the emergency fleet corpora
ton, attracted especial interest.
J. B. Neale, director of produc-
ton of the United States fuel ad-
ministration, explained to the en-
gineers how the greater production
Of minerals during war time had
been achieved, and R. V. Norris,
also of the fuel administration, ex-
planned the scales by which anthra-
cite mining costs were reckoned.
Mr.. Neale pointed out the need of
stimulating ambition in the work
men and the full industrial obli-
cation of employers to workmen.
He said: "We, operators, are face
to face with a condition hat is
exceedingly important and serious,
and I believe we are strong enough
to meet it in the proper way"

PROT, Serbia, Feb. is. - Con-
firmatory evidence of the slaugh-
ter of Serbian priests by Bulgarians
during the war was given to a rep
r~esentative of the Associated Press
today by Rev. Miliya Yontschitch,
pastor of one of the churches here
who personally witnessed the mas
sacre of 20 of his colleagues and
one Serbian officer. All, he says,
were shot and many were burned
alive.
Father Yontschitsch escaped a
similar fate only by feigning death
after he had been shot. He ex-
hibited to the Associated Press cor
respondent two bullet wounds in
his left shoulder. Another priest,
Rev. Thomas Popovitch of Prot,
escaped by fleeing across the
mountain road.
The murder of the priests took
place Nov. rs, 1915, in the village
OF Kremaencit, about 35 miles east
of Nish, according to the story of
Father Yontschitch, which fol-
lows:
Father Yontschitch, in company
with 22 other Serbian priests, was
taken by Bulgarians from Prot to
Nish, where they were thrown into
a cell and forced to live for five
days without food or water. After
his release he and his companions,
who included Lieutenant Gorge
witch of the Serbian army, were
marched by their captors for 10
hours to Bella Palanka, 80 miles
east of Nish, an armed guard walk
ing behind each.

JUNEAU, Alaska, Feb. II. -
Steps to encourage industrial and
mining activity in Alaska probably
will be taken by the territorial leg
islature which here on
March 8.
Few proposed legislative plans
have been announced yet. Alaska
hopes this year to witness the re-
turn of many of the hundreds who
went to the states in 1917 and
1918, so it is probable that the
legislature will endeavor to pro-
vide employment for them and for
hundreds of others who are ex-
pected to come north.
The legislature probably will APP
propriate money for the operation
of the new Alaska agricultural col
lege and school of mines at Fair
banks. If the money is appropri-
ated the college probably will open
it's first semester next fall. Pen
sions for pioneer Alaskan men and
women are also held up awaiting
a legislative appropriation.
Democrats will control the leg
islature, as they number five in
the senate to the republicans
three, and IL in the house of rep
resentatives to the republicans

GOLOF|ELO SOLDIER
WRITES FROM
EAST AFRICA

A Goldfield soldier has gone so
far to fight the Germans that it
will take him over five months to
get back. He says in a letter to
his parents in Goldfield: "All you
hear of when the boys get back is
What did you do in Frances?
This Goldfield soldier is George
Jarvis, who left here in June, 1917,
and, while he has not been in
France, from his letter, he has
known right along that a wal was
going On.
Jarvis is stationed at Dar-es-Sa-
liam, German East Africa, with
the royal engineering corps of the
British army. His letter is dated
Dec. II and he says: 81 shall
never forget the 10th of this
month, for l received your welcome
letter and package with razor
blades and on top of this l receiv-
ed word to get my kit ready and
stand by for the next draft to Eng
land. So l expect to leave here
in a week or two. l think they
will give us a month at Durham Ca
seaport town in the Union of South
Africa to acclimate us a bit before
sending us home. If everything
goes we'll we shall land in Eng
land not later than the middle of
March, and I expect to be right
home in Goldfield by the end of
May, 1919"
The soldier appreciated the raz-
or blades because cit is a crime
in the army not to be shaved
every morning. 1t seems rather
silly to me, but then it is the army
way of doing things.
81 have had 16 months of it now
land 1 can tell you that I have gone
Through more and seen more in
those few months than I ever ex-
Epect or want to again. I think
this front has been the worst OF
all, as we not only had the enemy
to fight, but the fever. There
have been more lives lost here, in
proportion to the number of troops
engaged, than on any other front.
This German leader out here, Won
Lettow, has given u fellows a
merry chase. He surrendered on
the 18th of last month and I think
there are few who realize what it
is to carry on in this country.
This is about the hottest part OF
the globe and is about twice as
hot as India. The temperature
rises to 1870 in the shade. l am
not looking for any thanks for
what little l have done when l
think of the poor fellows who have
been out here for two or three
years.
81 suppose when l get home peo-
pie will not see a change in me,
but I shall never be the fellow
was and it will take years to get
this fever out of me.
"If they would only give a fell
low something decent to eat, but
it is canned beef and biscuits and
jam all the time. 1t gets on a
fellows nerves. l do not want you
to think I am crying about it, for
| am not, as 1 have not said much
about it at any time"
Jarvis is looking forward to the
time when the canned beef and
biscuits and jam will be no more.
He sees drawing closer the time
when he "shall be walking in for
a stack of hots."
