 An arrival yesterday from Big Bug Creek stated it was quite interesting to witness many placer miners as getting ready to begin washing, and this spring will see more activity than has been known for many years. There are two companies shaping up and a score of individuals at different locations. The reason for this revival is due to the abundance of water for the coming months as snow is slowly. melting Sluicing will be the method of recovery.

government to the American Com
 mittee for Relief in the Near East. The hospital buildings already have
 been completed and are situated in
 Turkey, Armenia and Syria, while
 the equipment purchased from the
 government will be moved to this
 region from France as soon as pos sible. Included in the equipment IS
 large amount of medical supplies. The motor trucks will be used for
 returning to their homes l,770,000
 refugees driven out by German and
 Turkish invasions, and for distribut- ing food throughout the starving
 districts. From this fact it is plain that tine United States government recognizes the extreme need of these peoples and appreciates the efforts of philanthropists who have already expended large sums of money to assist in preventing the complete ex> tlnctlon of these races. The United
 States government has been assured by the British and French military
 leaders in the occupied territory of
 Turkey that the American Commit
 tee for relief in the Near East be-
 cause of its complete organization
 and workers who are familiar with
 the language and habits of the peo-
 ples, IS best prepared to conduct re-
 lief among these suffering peophe.
 These workers are depending upon America for the necessary funds to
 relieve the distressing situation.
 They are sorely pressed for funds.
 The pitiable scenes they are com pelled to witness each day with no hope for relief except their faith in America should stimulate every Am erican to increase his efforts and let them know that they have not called in vain.
 Everything from needles to two- ton trucks including "cootie" ex- terminators, is carried on this relief ship, "Western Belle" new vessel of the Emergency Fleet Corporation. This ship is racing with the Mercur- jus which sailed last week, both crafts being laden with food stuff and supplies for relief of destitute Armenians, Syrian, Greeks and Jews. The "Western Belle" is on her maid en trip; she was intended for car rying supplies for the American army, but has been released by the government and placed at the dis posa1 of the American Committee for Relief in the Near East The Mercurius which was an ammuni- ton carrier during the war, will contest every mile with her rival for the honor of landing relief goods first The "de-lousing" machines are an important item in this cargo and they will be used for combat ting the insect life of Asia Minor, especially the "cootie" one of the chief enemies of the relief workers. Doubtless the only milk supply available for the thousands of chill dren and infants in the Near East, will be the 5000 cases of condensed milk which the committee were per mitted to send in these ships by spe cial license of the food administra- ton and the War Trade Board. Among the thousands of other items on the list of cargo are 200 tons of coal; s two-tOn motor trucks; 13I and "A touring cars with parts, oil, etc; eight million needles, 100000 paper cups, 200 sewing ma chimes with cloth, thread, pins, etc, and 32,893 pairs of shoes, besides q complete assortment of every kind of foodstuffs and wearing apparel.

COLLEGE ARMY WORK
Declares Academic Duties and
Military Training Should
Be Separate

Lancaster. Pa, June 17.-Dr. Henry
II. Appel, in his annua! report made
today to the board of trustees of Frank
lin and Marshall College, took the posi- :
tion that neither college training nor
military training can be obtained to best
advantage in combination. While each
has its place, both cannot dwell in har
mony in the same house, he said. Doc
tor Appel, who has rounded out his
tenth year as head of Franklin and
Marshall urged that new department
be added at the college, that of training
members of the senior class as teachers.
He recommended an appropriation of
$50, 900 for new athletic field, the
erection of a memorial for the sons
of the college who gave up their lives
for the freedom of the world: that the
salaries of members Of the faculty be
increased; that the college interest itself
in the Reformed Church movement be :
cause it will have $500, 900 added to
its endowment.
The report of the college treasurer
presented showed assets of 1857, PIT .1s
exclusive of land. With land value
added the assets would be over 81 900, :
