ON THE MOVE.
All Central Europe seems on the
move, says an Associated Press cor
respondent writing from Budapest.
In a railway journey from the East
ern Swiss boundary across German
Austria, parts of Czechoslovakia, and
as far into Poland as Warsaw and
Lemburg, back into Austria proper
and thence to Budapest, the corre
spondent saw dozens of long trains
crowded even beyond the capacity
of the cars, and with every platform
filled with men, women, and chil
dren and the nondescript baggage
of the European peasant. Bundles
and chests and cloth bags and paper
packages, straw and wicker baskets,
rope tied, were strapped on every j
available space.
Where the people are going or.
why, no one seems to know. It is ,
apparently a general reshifting and ,
milling about of the population. (
The trains themselves are wretch-1
ed enough. There is not a passen-1
;
ger car in Europe that has not been
used for troops' transport. They
are filthy beyond words, nearly all
the glass gone, and the windows
filled with rough boards or rusty
sheets of iron or tin. The paint •
has long since gone, and some still j
bear the faded lines of early war;
camouflage. Lubricating oil is one
of the scarcest of commodities in
these regions and the cars creak
along over rusted rails, drawn by I
shabby engines.
Travel is a hazard. Schedules i
are virtually non-existent, and these
uncertain trains creep along as the
fuel supply permits. Stops in deso
late country regions of hours at a !
time are not unusual, and in most
parts the railway buffets that once
supplied the travel with meals are
closed, so that it is imperative to
carry one’s own provisions.
A passenger on one of the Orient
express trains said that at one point
in Southern Europe the conductor
took up a collection from passengers
to buy wood for the locomotive.
COAL IN GERMANY.
To conserve Berlin's coal supply,
a move will be made to change
the closing hours for cafes and
restaurants from 11:30 p. m. to an
earlier hour not yet decided upon.
The theaters and restaurants will
be restricted in their use of light
and Berlin will have to expect a
material restriction even before the
winter, so that coal can be saved.
The railroad service also will be
materially restricted—sleeping cars
and dining cars will probably be en
tirely abolished, owing to the in
creasing shortage of locomotives.
Germany is now' short of 650 lo
comotives, while 14,000 cars are due
to France.
There seems no lack of raw ma
terials at the railroad foundries, but
the workmen cannot or will not
deliver their peace-time quality or
quantity of labor. A locomotive in
peace-time could be built in a week
by 115 workmen. Now 213 work
men are necessary to build one.
The emergency workers of Great
er Berlin have published an appeal
to the miners of Germany urging
increased production, since, they
Isay, a catastrophe threatens Berlin
through lack of coal, which makes
■ it impossible to produce building ma
; terials, notably cement.
Waterways are being used in all
! possible cases as a substitute for
j steam transportation.
BALKAN RELIEF.
I The American people sent 186.
! 000,000 pounds of medical and re- \
| lief supplies into the Balkans
through the Red Cross during the
first six months of 1919, according
to a report just made public by
Colonel Henry W. Anderson, com
missioner to the Balkans.
Of this total, Rumania, Serbia,
and Greece received the larger por
jtions; smaller shipments going to j
Montenegro, Albania, and Bosnia.
The largest single item in point of
tonnage consisted of clothing and
material for clothing. Rumania, for
example, received 650,000 yards of
cloth; Serbia, 733,000 yards, and
Montenegro, 225,000 yards.
Seven central stations were em
ployed for handling these goods.
' Salonika was the most important
port on the Red Cross map.

BELATED NEWS
OF HUN LOSSES
IS
BERLIN'.—Belated news of the
; losses incurred by German families
land organizations, military or civ
ilian, as it is verified, is being placed!
'in the newspapers in the form of
i obituaries.
The Baron von Wangenheim fam
ily recalls its dead in a great' black
bordered advertisement in which are
I
named 22 members of the family
who fell for the Fatherland, all ex
I
cept two of them officers.
Similarly the fmnily Baron von
Puttkamer, little known in Germany
.and not as large a family as the
Wangenheim. announces the loss of
■ 19 members, ranging from non-com
missioned officers to lieutenant-col
onel.
Individual regiments, divisions,
| and naval units are daily letting
their individual losses be known, and
• they make a formidable appearance,
and attest to the bitter severity of
the war.
In this connection it is interest
ing to note estimates of the min
istry of finance about the cost of
the war to Germany. It amounts to
about $36,500,000,000, according to
peace-time rates of exchange.

The incoming mail stage which
was expected at Fairbanks last night
was at McCarthy this morning. It
is believed the shipment consists of
second class matter.
Venaaa, Where Kalis and Rivers Meet
APPEAL OF FOCH
INSPIRED BRITISH
TOM LINE”
PARIS.—An appeal to the Brit
ish soldiers, dictated by the then
General Foch, asking them to re
member their forefathers’ victory
over Napoleon, inspired them to at
tack the Germans and recover the
ground they had lost before the gas
wave at the second battle of Ypres,
writes Colonel Fevler in the Jour
| nal de Geneve.
I Before the asphyxiating gas both
British and French had been obliged
to give ground. The then General
Foch intended to recover the former
positions at all costs, according to
Colonel Feyler. He asked General
Sir John French to co-operate with
him. "‘Impossible," replied French;
"my men are ready to hold here,
i but I do not feel that I can demand
jof them in their present condition
'further sacrifices in attacking."
Foch expressed surprise. "There
morale is low," he said; “why don't
you launch a proclamation? Some
i thing like this: ‘British soldiers,
Iforward. You who have vanquished
ithe great Napoleon, shall it come to
[pass that you will permit the lowly
(German to drive you from your po
Isitions and retain them . . . ’”
I "How is that?" asked French,
(greatly interested. "Please repeat
| it." And at the dictation of Foch,
j French wrote out the proclamation
■which was given out to the troops
'the next day.
The next morning the British sol
diers hit the line and recovered all
the lost ground.
AIR ABOVE LONDON IS
DIRTIEST IN ENGLAND
LONDON.—The air above London
is the dirtiest in all England, ac
cording to the British meteorological
office, which asserts that 60 tons of
soot falls on every square mile of
the city every year.
