CHICAGO. Dec. 17.—Capain Mus
tard, of the medical reserve corps,
former mayor and physician of Nome,
asserts that Alaska’s gold production
will be almost negligible if the war
lasts until 1919. unless the government
aids in relieving the labor shortage.
He says that $5 a day wages in Al
aska no longer induces laborers to
go there and the value of gold had
depreciated fifty per cent recently on
account of its lower purchasing pow
er.

Italian line in the mountainous re
gions and seek a passage to the
plains. Prior to the gain of Caprille
the enemy twice repulsed reinforce
ments and compelled the Italians to
give ground. There is little activity
on other fronts.
The foundation of true happiness is
j being satisfied with present possess
