. ASKS CORDOVA
TO PROVIDE FOR
TWENTY BABIES
SPOKANE, Aug. 12—(Special to the
Daily Times).—Alaska is asked for
more than twice as much for the relief
suffering in the Near East this
year as was'contributed by her people
last year for that purpose. Some of
the Alaskan cities and towns, how
ever, gave more last year, largely
through spontaneous charity, to expel
hunger from the Bible lands, than the
quotas assigned to them this year by
the Near East relief committee, which
is now inaugurating a drive for funds
throughout the territory on behalf of
the foodless, unsheltered orphans of
that famine-gripped land.
These facts are shown by figures
made public by E. A. Potter, directing
"Secretary for the Near East relief or
ganization, just before his departure
to organize Alaska for its part in the
national campaign for $30,000,000
needed to uope with the hunger situ
ation in Armenia and other sections of
western Asia this year. Mr. Potter,
accompanied by his wife, who will act
as^his secretary, sailed July 29 from
Seattle, aboard the Alaska steamship
* Northwestern, to spend nearly a month
in the Alaskan field.
“Alaska’s grand quota for the big
relief drive is fixed at $14.400—enough
to care for 240 Near East orphans for
one year at a cost of $5 per month, or
$60 per year per child,” Mr. Potter
announced. “Last year Alaska’s con
tributions to needy peoples of the
Near East, without a systematic cam
paign covering the territory, amounted
to $5,571.
UOIUUVa cUlU iVCiiaccuLi- uutwwiv
instances where last year’s donations
were greater than this year’s quotas,
Cordova having contributed $1,807 a
year ago, whereas its quota for this
year is fixed at only $1,200, while Ken
•necott last year gave a little over $800
as against a quota of $600 for the pres
ent drive. Twenty orphans have been
assigned to Cordova for relief this
year at a cost of $60 each, and 10
have been entrusted to Kennecott.
“Anchorage, which last year gave
a little over $756, is this year asked
tor $960 for 16 orphans; Chitina, $120
fcy^wo orphans; Douglas, $60 for one
orphan; Fairbanks, $720 for 12 or
phans; Haines and Fort Seward, $60
for one orphan; Iditarod, $480 for
eight orphans; Juneau, $2,400 for 40
orphans; Ketchikan, $1,200 for %) or
phans; Latouche, $180 for three or
phans; McCarthy, $240 for four or
phans; Nome, $480 for eight orphans;
Petersburg, $300 for five orphans;
Ruby, $360 for six orphans; Seward,
$540 for nine orphans; Sitka, $240 for
four orphans; Skagway, $180 for three
orphans; Tanana valley, $1,560 for 26
orphans, and Valdez and Wrangell
$360 each for six orphans. We expect
miscellaneous contributions to take
care of the remainder of Alaska’s
quota.”
IRONMASTER
EXPRESSES
HIS OPTIMISM
PARIS, Aug. 12 (by Associated
Press).—“France is on the way to re
covery,” Eugene Schneider, the iron
master, told the delegates to the In
ternational Chamber of Commerce at
its dedicatory session in the Sorbonne.
He supported his optimism with fig
ures on the reconstruction of the de
vastated regions. These showed that
2,412 factories employing 235 persons
were operating in the invaded depart
ments. This, however, was compared
to 3.363 factories employing 668,000
before the war.
He gave two general indications of
growing industrial force, first, the
dimishing excess of imports over ex
ports with a marked increase in the
exportation of manufactured articles
and second, the increasing excess in
various taxes over the receipts esti
mated by the government.
Reclamation of the war-torn farm
la^d, necessary to reduce the country’s
onerous importations of foodstuffs,
was said by M. Loucheur to be en
couraging. He said the devastated
regions would produce two-thirds oi a
normal crop this year.
Several phases of Germany’s failure
to fulfill treaty requirements to France
were cited by M. Loucheur. He said
that instead of the minimum delivery
of one and two-third million tons of
coal monthly, France had received 'in
seven months only an average of
671,300 tons.
MEX DIPLOMATS
CEASE WEARING
OF GOLD BRAID
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 12 (by Associ
ated Press).—Apparel oft’ may pro
claim the man but no longer will it
proclaim the Mexican diplomat, if the
recommendations of Miguel Covarru
rubias, secretary of foreign relations,
are adopted by the government.
Senor Covarrubias proposes that the
ornate, gold-braided uniforms worn by
the nation’s envoys In other times be
supplanted by the severely simple
frock coats, which constitue the full
dress of diplomats representing the
United States and other countries.
Besides arguing that Mexico should
fall in line with the customs of other
countries, advocates of diplomatic
dress reform point out that the recom
medations of Senor Covarrubias, if
adopted, would result in appreciable
economies and would help convince
the world that Mexico is truly demo
cratic.
In supporting the new government
for dress simplification El Heraldo de
Mexico recalls that during the Car
ranza regime a certain Mexican dip
lomat, upon presenting his credentials
to a fastidious and punctilious Euro
pean court, chose not to wear the con
ventional uniform in vogue at that
time, but instead he attired himself
in a flaming frock coat, adorned with
a general’s epaulets, and wore a tri
color band across his shirt front and
gilded spurs on his boots. This dip
lomat had read somewhere that a min
ister plenipotentiary held the rank ot
general and lacking a general’s uni
form in vogue at that time but in
stead he attired himself in a flaming
frock coat with what he believed to
be the proper martial accoutrements.

ENORMOUSLY RICH
MANILA, Aug. 12 (by Associated!

island of Negros will be so well off in
another year (hat they will not know
Avhat to do Avith their money, in the
opinion of Venancis Concepcion, pres
ident of the Philippine National Bank, j
who has just returned from a visit to !
that island.
“Of the $12,000,0000 Avhich my bank
loaned the planters on the island of
Negros last year, $7,000,000 will be
paid out of the 1920 sugar crop and
the remainder out of the 1921 crop,"
said Mr. Concepcion. “Negros needs
1,500 tractors and with that number
the acreage in sugar next year could
be more than doubled. I estimate the
sugar crop for the island this year at
210,000 tons.”
