Economic Difficulties.
The magnitude of this military effort
can be fully appreciated only when one
takes into consideration the economic
structure of the nation and the nature
and number of its population One
must remember that out of 100000
inhabitants in Italy al the beginning
of the war only 100000 were male.
This seeming dispropOrtion is caused
by emigration, which was largely COM
posed of male adults. Out of those
100000 only 100000 were adults
economically productive. Consequent
ly the subtraction of the modified
forces has had an acute reaction on
! the economic life of the nation II is

adults remained in each town or viii

$50 children below the age of fifteen.
Furthermore, the traditions of Ital-

No Troops From Colonies.
Italy got no help from colonial con.
tingents. On the contrary, the scarcity
of native troops in Italy'S colonies
compelled the government to reinforce
them with troops from the mOthel
country. Nor has help come to Italy
through the cooperation of workmer
of neutral or allied countries. Italy

direct contribution TO her economi
and military efforts.
To meet their military obligations
therefore, the Italian people have beel
compelled to cur into the most urgen

The unusually large number ar

some extent to the fact that travel
was discouraged last week because
of the condition of the ice in the
river Several intended to come to

suaded to wait until crossing of
the river could be made in safety.
Of those arriving today, some
came on business. some on pleasure,
and some headed for the coast by
way of Broad Pass, the shortcut
route to the States from Interior
Alaska
The departures included mostly
employees of the Alaskan Engineer
ing commission who have been laid

have cabins in Fairbanks and will
winter there. while others are head

of storms and deep snow, which

his reindeer interests, Lynn Smith,
well-known oldtimer of the lower

on today's train from Fairbanks,
getting off at Dunbar's, where he

bon mail stage Smith is just back
from a vacation in the States, and
has the distinction of having made
one of the fastest trips recorded
between Seattle and Interior Alas
ka. He covered the distance in a
little over nine days.
Smith is interested in the rein
deer industry, with Captain. Will
Jams. and is very enthusiastic re
garding the future of that business.
They have about 800 animals now
and the herd is increasing steadily
and thriving on the moss which
abounds along the Yukon below Tan
ana. The herd grazes from Tanana
to Kaltag, the latter place being the
headquarters.
Smith predicts that within a few
years reindeer in Alaska will sup
iply the bulk of the meat consumed.
His herd already supplies limited
amount for local needs. but no at
tempt will be made to furnish meat
.on a large scale until the herd has
increased considerably in size.
