MINERAL OUTPUT OF ALASKA HAS
 TAKEN DECLINE
Reverting of Copper Te Normal Given As One
 Reason For Drop.

Washington, Jan. 2.-A1aska'S min eral output in 1919 was the smallest of any year since 1910, and its value was less than half that of 1916, pre- lininary estimates of the geological survey made public today show. The output for the year brought only about 1850, 900 as compared with s2s,254,OG0 in 1918 and 4S,600,o00 in 1916.
 The decline was attributed prin- cipally to the reverting of the copper industry to normal conditions as a result of the fall in the price of the metal since 1916, when the war de mand greatly stimulated production. High operating costs also caused depression in gold mining.
 Eight copper mines were operated in Alaska in 1919, producing about 44,So0,000 pounds valued at $S,5 900. The production in 1918 was 69,- 225,000 pounds, valued at $17,os9,-
 o00
 The value of the annual output o1 gold declined from 16,700,o00 in 1916 to s9,000,o0o in 1919. Alaska still contains large reserves of gold-bearing grave1s that can be mined profitably when transportation conditions are improved, the report said, adding that "the most import, l ant event of the year for the future l in mining in Alaska was the continu | ation of the work on the governmen | railroad and the assurace by congres 1 sional action of the money needed tt 1 complete the 1ine.'
 | "Better and cheaper steamboa. l service, on both ocean and river, ar' i also imperative" the report said
 Moreover, the railroad must b. supplemented by trails and wagol 1 roads,"
 AS a by-product to gold and cop
 per mining, 59O,O00 ounces of silve and 800 tons of lead were mine | during the year.
 The value of the gold mined il | Alaska from the discovery of tn | precious metal in 1880 to 1919 wa | placed at S437, 100000.

TURKISH SULTAN
 CALLED A NICE
 OLD GENTLEMAN

Constant1nople, Jan. s.--People of Constantinop1e call the Sultan, Me hmed VI, "a nice, harmless old man." Mehmed VI is the last enemy emperor left, the man whose tenn poral possessions are at stake in the making of peace.
 The Pad1shah, or "Father of All the Soveretgns of the Earth" is short, gray haired, rather stoop- shou1dered, dark-eyed, with short white moustache set under the char Bereft of good counsellors, worried by the actions of Moustapha Kemal Pasha, leader of the Nationalists, Me hmed is in a quandry as to how to save his people and his throne. Al that he doesn't worry too much thanks to the pervading oriental spirit of fatalisrn.
 Every Friday, the Turkish Sunday 8 crowd of Mussulman pilgrims an6 foreigners gathers to see him go te prayer. The ceremony takes place l out side the palace gates of YiIdiz or the hills of Pera just above the Bos phorus. There are the Su1tan's of fieial offices and also his harem 1T a, flower part of an immense park. The Sultan wearing a fez come: IHIO NIS" SIOWly HI 1H opCi l phaeton, preceded by a single horse
 man and followed on foot by a doze1 i or more of his red-fezzed suite dress ] ed in black frock coats and trouser | in the European style.
 The Sultan bows right and left, i, l response to the acclamations, look 1 towards the terrace where are range 1 the foreigners, and bows pleasantly t
 them.
 The distance to the mosque is pass ed, then at the door of the mosqu
 he steps out; from the interior i heard a chant of male chorus, an
 he disappears. Directly the genera
 Mussulman public is permitted to en
 ter at another door of the mosque t take place in the prayers which con tinue for a half hour. Meanwhil
 the foreign visitors disperse; thei
 curiosity in the successor of tn
 prophet satisfied.

FOOD SMUCCLERS
 PLY BRISK TRADE
 AMONG GERMANS

Coblenz, Jan. 3.---u1icit trade in food, with it's attendant evils of smuggling and usury, is on the in crease throughout Germany, &C., cording to newspaper accounts.
 The rationing system has never been abandoned even in the occupied areas of the Rhineland and some of the newspapers contend that the average individual cannot subsist on the amount of food issued. The au- thorities are making every effort to check the Illegal traffic in foods of all kinds and the courts are crowded day after day.
 Smuggling of potatoes is being car rted on this winter in all parts of Germany on a scale greater than in war time. Germany produced an ex- cellent potato crop this year and the falling into the hands of the specu- lators.
 weu-to-do people have been going i to Bavaria from Prussia, Wuerttem- l berg and Thuringia to buy potatoes eggs and fats for which the farmers charged exorbitant prices. This i worked a hardship on the poorer l people who could not compete witt 1 them.
 | Living appears to be cheaper II
 Bavaria than elsewhere in Germany | Butter has been selling there at fvt | marks a pound, compared with 3t l marks in Berlin. Eggs are quoted a 25 pfennigs each while in Berlin the!
 cost 1.75 marks a piece. Eggs l tn | occupied area have been bringin1 from to 2.50 marks each this win
 ter but are very scarce at an, price.
 Meat is also reported as fairl
 plentiful in Bavaria, although tu al ] other states this form of food is vir
 tuaNy unpurchasable by householder
 through regular channels exceptin
 once or twice each month when tn authorities permit a few ounces to b
 distributed by the card system to tn individuals.
 ) Most of the hotels throughout Ger l many continue to serve meat three c : four days each week however. Tn l proprietors say they obtain this fro, T Holland and that this does not vic late the food regulations.

Austria Lost More
 Land Than Germany

Austr1a-Hungary's losses of terri tory and population arc much greater than those of Germany. The area of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy at the beginning of the war was 260,000 square miles and the population 51,- 100000. The Austrian territory was stated at 116,0O0 square miles and the population in 1910 2S,325, 900; the Hungarian territory 126,000 square miles and the population 21,- 900, 900, and, in addition to this, Hun gary had the administration of Bos- mia and Herzegovina, with an area of about IS, GOO square miles and a population of about 100000. In October, 1918, 8 part of the territory formerly known as Austria estab blish- ed itself as a republic under the title of German Austria, the area which 1t claimed amounting to about 10000 square miles. or approximately 15 per cent of the former Austro-Hungari Empire; the population about g. 000,0o0 or about 19 per cent of the former empire. In the same month the Austrian provinces of Bohemia Moravia. and Silesia and certain Hun garian area designated as Slovakia or ganized themselves as the Republic of Czecho-Slovakia- The Austrian territory passing into this new repub. lie was about 80, 900 square miles anG the population about 9,0o0,000; tha of Hungary passing into the Czecho Slovakian Republic was estimated a approximately so,o00 square miles ant the population about 100000. A the same time, the southern part o Hungary established itself as an in dependent nation, with the title 0 Jugo-Slavia or Yugo-Slavia, and in cluding Bosnia-Herzegovina Dafma tia, Croatia, Slavonia, Carnio1a, Car inthia, Styrta, Istria, Gorizia-G Gradis ca, and certain adjacent islands. Som of these islands and smaller province have, however, passed to the contre of Italy. A small section at tn southeast of Austria was transferre to Italy, and this included the forme Austrian port of Trieste, leaving Aus tria without direct access to tide water over her own territory. Tn fragment of former Austria, whic now retains the title of German Aus tria, is about 0,000 square miles i area as against 1o7, 900 in the forme Austria, and with a population about 9,000,oo0 as against 2s,o00, ,0O in Austria in 1913.

AUSTRIANS ARE NOT SATISFIED
 WITH OUTLOOK

Vienna, Jan. 3.---The Austrian re- public faces it's second year with foreboding. Both the political and economic situations are believed here to have grown worse since early autumn.
 The holiday season found Vienna with a reduced bread ration, virtual ly no fats and without fuel. The expected supply of coal from Czecho- Slovakia has not been received and public utilities were kept partly in operation only by great efforts and economies.
 High hopes had been entertained from the visit of Chancellor Renner to the Supreme Council at Paris. The people expected that Austria would obtain sufficient credit, food, fuel and raw material for the resumption of their industrial life. Now that the result of his journey has become known the newspapers sound a note of despair. One of them remarks that the decision of the Supreme Council that Vorar1berg may not separate from Austria means that that province is condemned to suffer along with the rest of Austria until the ordinary native will have hard 1y sufficient for food and clothing be- comes luxury for even the com paratively we11-to-do.
 Other provinces are seeking to free themselves from the burdens of Aus fria and turn elsewhere for help There have been rumors of an inn pending revolt and declaration of in- dependence in Tyrol. It Is charged in some quarters that the whole sep. aration movement in the Austrian provinces has been inspired by Ger man propaganda with view to es' tabhshing a corridor between Ger many and Austria.
 While Austria seems unable to ob tain foreign credit for rehabilitation there has been much comment hert upon the fact that foreign private capital has heen diligently exploitine the country. It is asserted that tn; nolIntry has been stripped of articles deluxe while it's remaining factorie are unable to obtain raw materials According to common report, foreig1 interests, principally Italian, have ac quired enormous holdings of stock il Austrian industrials and mines.
 The government Is evenly balance between Socialists and Conservative and thus far has been unable to giv birth to constructive legislation look ing to the solution of many interna problems facing the country.
