French or until recently American
Allies, they display the same dash
and battle enthusiasm that charac-
terized the Serbs in the early days
of the war.
One way or another, these Ser
bians reached Odessa, where they
were formed into a battalion for
service against the Central Powers.
They want to get somewhere to fight
Austria so they started for Archangel
hoping eventually to join the Allies
in France.
The Serbs seized a locomotive and
sufficient box cars TO carry the bat
talon and after four months journey
arrived at Murmansk.
The Allies landing at Murmansk
in the spring of 1918 found the Ser
bian battalion there, ready to fight
against the Bolsheviki, and, for, the
first few months of the campaign,
the Serbs formed the backbone OF
the force opposing the Reds, which
speedily wrested several hundred
miles of the Murmansk railway from
the Communists.
Throughout the subsequent fight
ing on this front Serbs have distin-
guished themselves, and now they
are awaiting the day when they can
return to the new greater Serbia
which includes Bosnia and other
territories where they lived when
impressed into the Austrian army.

Belgium met here to-day to outline
program for protecting and nour-

nourishing and educating war or
phanS.
Henri Jaspar. Minister of Eco
nomic Affairs, was present on behalf

those present for what they had
done for Belgian children during
the German occupation. He an
nounced that the Government was
now working on a scheme to estab-
lish childwelfare institutes in every
community in the country, the bill
being now before Parliament. When
this law is passed, Belgium will be
the first country in the world to
have such institutions in all big
cities and all country districts no
matter how remote.
Doctor Rene Sand, just back from
America, recounted the progress
made there in child work.

EXTENDS SCOPE
OF PEACE INQUIRY
Senate Foreign Relations
Committee Announces
Its Program

Washington, Aug. 26.-Extending
the scope of its public inquiry re-
garding the peace treaty, the Senate
foreign relations committee has an
nounced a schedule of hearings that
promises to occupy most of it's time
for the next two weeks and to lead
the intricacies of political and ter
ritorial problems in several parts OF
the world.
The disputed questions to be
touched upon in the eight day
shedule include the disposition OF
Fiume, of the Aland Islands, and OF
the German colonies in Africa and
the claim of Ireland for independ-
ence. On the list of witnesses are
representatives of the Italians, Jugo
SlaVs Hungarian Americans, Greeks
irish, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Es-
thonians, Let's and American ne
groes.
Under the arrangement the time
to be devoted to work on amend
ments to the treaty this week will
be reduced from three days to two
Thursday having been set aside to
hear the negro delegation on the
question of the African colonies.
Chairman Lodge, announcing the
decision after consultation with
other committee members, said the
hearings seemed essential to an in
telligent judgment on the manifold
provisions of the treaty. +; Demo-
cratic members, however, who said
there had been an understanding
that the committee would complete
its report to the Senate this week,
charged again that the treaty was
being needlessly held up by the
committee majority.

sitional policy" is to be reconsidered.
Those importers who established
their businesses later than 1913
have not been getting anything at
all.
rhe Board of Trade recently re-
quested the American Chamber of
Commerce in London to suggest a
scheme which would give equitable
consideration to all importers from
America, old and new.
The Chamber has suggested as a
basis of distribution, the yearly aver
age of imports obtained by adding
the totals for 1912-1913-1914-191
and dividing by four. This scheme
gives preference to those importers
whose organizations have been in
existence for a long time. but also
takes into account importers who
started in 1914 and 1915.
The plan has been ratified unani-
mously by the importers and the
Board of Trade is now circularizin3
the entire trade for their returns Jn
this basis.
This is declared to be only a
temporary arrangement, and not to
be taken as an indication of the
British Governments trade policy on
motor vehicles after September l.

NO STRIKE AT BUNKER HILL
 AND THERE'S A REASON

Other mining companies mlgnt study with profit the reasons back of the fact that there is no strike at the Bunker Hill & Sullivan mine while all other mines of the district are tied up. It can not be explained in the fact that the company splits the time with it's employees going to and returning from work under ground, nor in the fact that surface men at the Bunker Hill work only eight hours. While these conditions ere important, they are onset al other mines by the payment or z cents per shift more to muckers than is paid by the Bunker Hill In al other respects the conditions under which employees work are practical ly the same in all the mines. Since the differences mentioned offset each other or possible place the ad vantage with the mines that ars now shut down by the strike, the req son for men refusing to strike the Bunker Hill must be sought else where than in the working condi tions of the mine.
 It is found in the consistent poiic! of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan Com pany toward it's employees and tc the community which depends upor it's successful operations for support The company has at all times taker personal interest, in the welfare of its employees. helped them to SC cure comfortable homes. and co operated with them in all matters that would contribute to their pleas ures and promote their contentment In the same manner the compan! has interested itself in local affairs not in dictatoriai manner, but in

WORKERS OF THE COEUR
 D'ALENES:


 After years of oppression by the masters of the mines in this dis trict you have been compelled to de- mand a shorter workday. For years you have been working nine and 9 half hours day while miners in other districts have been working eight.
 Why has this condition existed Is it not because of the fact that you have not been organized? Are you now organized into a real working class organization? Some of you are, but large number of you have not yet decided that your interests lie with the rest of the workers of the I. w. w.. Some of you are not mem bers of any organization and some Of you are members of an organization that makes your fight hopeless.
 If you continue to allow a few men of the Mover type to do your think ing for you, you will always lose Mover and his executive board say they will not sanction the strike. The members of the I. w. w. tell their officials that the strike is on and the officials dare not say that they will not sanction the strike. Have you ever heard of the I. w. w. scab ping? Has the w. F. of M. done cnything else during the last seven years when a strike was called by any other organization?
 The miners of Kellogg are working at this moment helping the boss to defeat you. You know that they are a part of the Mover organization and according to press reports they are very indignant because you have dared to demand better working con ditions from your profitecring mas ters.
 There is one way to win this strike and that is to join the One Big Unior of the working class. Use up-to-date methods and forget the old obsolete methods of the past.
 Demand a six-hour day and when you get the six-hour day demand 2 four-hour day, and then your masters will have to go to work and be of some use to society. You. the work CTS, produce all, but you do not owr anything. The masters produce noth ing and get everything. This condi- ton can be changed by you, the working class, joining the only work ing-class organization-the |. w.

SALyAG|NG SHIPS
 SUNK BY HUNS IS
 DANGEROUS WORK

LONDON. - Salvage crews face death in many ways trying to save the vessels sunk in the war by Ger man submarines. One of the most perilous incidents of this service was that of a navy commander who cut away the nose of live torpedo that had become damned in the deck of destroyer. So dangerous was the task that the naval authorities lowed the destroyer three miles out to sea before they would permit the at. tempt.
 This salvage work has advanced very rapidly and become very profit able. Submersible lifting devices never before thought of have been devised and put into successful op- eration. Dangers from gases due to decaying grain cargoes have been eliminated by scientific research. Diving appliances have been greatly improved.
 The cutting of steel plates under water is now only a detail, and the construction of the standard patch to cover holes in hulls has reached the point where it is now merely part of the days work of the sal wage men.

STEAMER IANANA
 HAS RAIL CARGO

The steamer Panama arrived from Hot Springs at an early hour this morning with a bargeload of rails in tow, enroute to Cinema, where the cargo will be transferred to the Tanana Valley railroad for ultimate delivery at the end of steel south of Happy Junction. The Tanana's tow, which is one of the two barges of steel brought up the Yukon by the steamer Seattle No. 8, represents the last of the rails needed to com plete the Government railroad be- tween Nenana and Fairbanks
 The Panama also brought some oil, which was unloaded at the oil house on the island opposite Nenana, and some other freight for the Northern Commercial company.
 Upon arrival at Fairbanks, Cap tain Green and the members of his crew will transfer to the steamer Reliance and prepare for a voyage to Bettles, on the upper koyukuk. The Reliance is billed out of Panama on August 25, which means that the boat will sail from Fairbanks on Friday or Saturday of this week.
 The only passenger on the Tan ana is John Campbell of Minto, who is on his way to Fairbanks.
 The Panama sailed for the upper town about ten o'clock.

STARTS
 NEWSPAPER AGAIN

The publication of the lditarod Pioneer, a weekly newspaper pub lshed at Iditarod by George M. Ar buckle until about a year ago, has been resumed, according to arrivals from that district on the steamer Alaska. The owner of the plant returned to the Iditarod country from the States early this summer, after an absence of year, and an- nounces that he will give the people of the camp a paper as long as there is sufficient demand for news. When Arbuckle left for the Outside, the plant was all packed, ready for shipment, but the owner apparently changed his mind about moving, aft CT he had reached the States.
 The Pioneer plant, except for the Mergenthaler typesetting machine, which was purchased a few years ago, was operated in a number of Interior Alaska towns before arriv- ing at Iditarod. It was shipped into the country in 1905 and a weekly paper started the following year at Cleary City. The plant was later moved to Cinema and operated there until the discovery of gold in the Iditarod country.
 MT. Arbuckle came North in 1898 and was located in Dawson for a number of years as member of the staff of the Klondike Nugget.
