 The building trades do not show any disposition to undertake important work while obliged to pay three times the normal prices for materials. The result IS that reconstruction work is being held up, altho considerable progress is reported from some sec ,tions of the invaded regions. This progress. altho encouraging. is not regarded by business men as sufficient to warrant the expectations on d scale sufficient to materially effect the exchange rates The French still are counting on some sort of inter- national arrangement that will in- crease the value ol the franc

PEOPLE START MOVE TO

URGES JEFFERSON TO AID IN HAVING MAIL CHANGED FROM FAIRBANKS-G -GHITINA ROUTE TO THE SEWARD-BROAD PASS FOR NIIA<-AliN FER,

Owen, secretary of the club, to j. l.. McPherson, secretary of the Alaska Bureau ot the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, in which MT. McPherson Is urged to use, his influence to have the mail route changed. The plea tor the change is one of a number which the Nenana organization ad vances a. q progressive program for the development of the interior of Alaska.
 As the full letter is far too long to be reprinted in full, that portion referring to tho mail service is quot ed alone. It follows as it recently appeared in tte Nenana News:
 ITO make long story short, MT. McPherson, We regard our Alaskan mail service as disgrace to the na- tional government, ample evidence supporting the judgment. Please rub that in where it will do the most good. There IS another matter we must now bring up, though we shrink from doing so because of the feelings of neighbor who always has been dear to us and who is now quite near to us. But, we feel sure our neighbor will adjust himself to the change, and probably at last will like it quite as well as we. We refer to the de- sire to have the mail for this district re-routed via Seward and Anchorage and Broad Pass. By next fall there will be but 70 or 75 miles of gap to be spannec by very passable trail for reasonably quick hauling of mail. Notwithstanding the additional 36 hours from Cordova to Seward and that is allowing ample running time for the steamers-the' mail for all this region should easily reach it's destination, that way, at least two days ahead of the best that is being done over the Fairbanks-C Chitina route. We await the pleasure of those who have authority to order the change"

TACNA DISPUTE TO BE LEFT UP
 TO THE LEAGUE
SOUTH AMERICAN NATIONS AGREES TO SUBMIT ANCIENT AND BLOODY QUARREL TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS FOR A FINAL. SETTLEMENT.

SANTIAGO, Chile, Jan. 2O.-R)- It was officially announced here to- day that the league of nations Will De asked to decide tne Tacna-Arica dispute between Peru and Chile. The settlement of the question as awarded by the league will be ac- cepted by both nations as final.
 This is feud of long standing between Chile and Peru, dating back to the sos. Near the city of Tacna, in 1850, Chilean army defeated a combined force of Bolivians and Per uvians and in the final settlement of 1884 the province of Tacna, in cludlng the capital and the seaport, Africa, was ceded by Peru to Chile for period of ten years. At the expiration of that period the owner ship of the province was to have been determined by plebiscite of the inhabitants. At the end of ten years disputes arose as to the man her of taking the plebiscite and all subsequent efforts to settle the mat ter peaceably have resulted in total failure. On several occasions rela- tions between the two countries have been strained dangerously near the breaking point and actual warfare narrowly averted in which severa. South American countries would probably have become involved.

BANK EMPLOYES

LONDON.-(P}-M Many thousands of banks clerks here will shortly be- come part of the great army of trade unionists. Their chief grievance is the continued employment of girls in places formerly held by men. They say they do not object to fair compe- ton with women who accept mems jobs at mems pay but, they state. the tendency now is for girls employ ed temporarily during the war to be taken on permanent staffs to the detriment of former soldiers seeking unemployment.
 They object to the placing of bank clerks returning from the army in positions subordinate to women who have taken their places during their absence.
