FORMER FAIRBANKS MAN
TELLS TRUTH ABOUT NORTH
In a recent issue of the Los An
geles Evening Express appeared a
misleading interview purported to j
have been given by a former lady
resident of Anchorage and now liv-1
ing in Cordova. The lady i3 quoted
as saying: “Out of darkness into
light; I have passed ten consecutive
winters in Alaska and naturally have
become used to the monotony of
| darkness. Up where I live, we have
scarcely one hour of dayligh; in
every twenty-four hours during the
winter, and only about five hours
; of sunshine during the summer
months.’’
That much and more was stated
| in the article which Jack Robarts.
former resident of Fairbanks and,
- now of Anchorage, vehemently de
i nied in the same newspaper. He
came back strong at the lady and
accused her of using “smoked glass
es.” He told the newspaper the
truth about Alaska's wonderful cli
mate and the growing possibilities
of the long summer days, with no
night at all. His was a truthful
statement of the wonders of the
Northland, and voiced in such con
vincing terms that the erroneous
impression gathered by those who
read the lady’s interview undoubt
edly was corrected.
Mr. and Mrs. P.obarts have been
Outside for a number of months,
most of which time was spent in
Southern California They plan to
return to Anchorage about tne urst
| of February

FRANCE ATONES FOR WRONG
DONE OFFICERS DURING WAR
PARIS, Jan. 8—The French gov
ernment has now done something
to ato.ne for the unfortunate error
in June, xJi-j, when Lieuten
ants Herduin and Millant were sum
; marily executed -without court mar
; rial or any form of judgment, wtth
: in 4S hours of the retreat from Fort
Douaumont on Verdun.
Louis Banhou, minister of war,
has written to Madame Herduin,
the widow, saying that 100,000
francs has been allotted to her as
civil reparation, and 50,000 francs
has been similarly granted to the
father of Lieutenant Millant.
The letter of the minister says;
-hat the evidence given in a recent
action that Madame Herduin had
! taken against a Paris newspaper for
libel, had made h:m re-examine the
petitions that see had sent to him
and his predecessors at the war
office.
“if this grievous cvjut is to be
judged impardally”, the letter says,
“it cannot be separated from the
| tragic hours when the fate of all
J France was bound up in victory be
fore Verdun, but it can only have
been brought about by a mistaken
application of the regulations. Your
husband, very well noted and decor
j ated during the war, was a cour
ageus officer whose name you and
! your little son can bear with honor,
i The law does not permit revision
of his case but the government, on
my proposition, has decided to
award you civil reparation”.
Madame Herduin and the elder
Millant have accepted the govern
ment’s offer and so far as they are
concerned this painful affair is now
closed.
When Herduin faced the firing
squad, he refused to have his eyes
covered and said a few words to
■ the squad, that it was their duty
to obey orders without questioning
their justice. Then he, himself,
gave the order to fire.
It was later proved that a mis
take had been made and that neither
officer has abandoned his post but,
as the order to execute them had
been given summarily without the
process of military law, the author
. ities always insisted that there was
no means to revise the judgment or
exonerate the victims of the error.
Last June a Paris newspaper pub
lished an article on the case of the
two officers, declaring that Herduin
had abandoned his post and was an
alcoholic. Madame Herduin brought
, an action for defamation, alleging
' that sudhcharges were untrue. She
11 won a verdict for 5,000 francs,
whereupon the government utilized
the occasion to compensate the af
flicted widow.

A. E. C. STORE DEPARTMENT
TO BE DISCONTINUED SOON
W. B. Manning:, of the supply div
ision of the Alaskan Engineering
Commission, arrived in Xenana from
the coast on Sunday, and will re
main here for some time to come,
in his official capacity as district
storekeeper. Interviewed by a repre
sentative of The News, Mr. Man
ning stated that the bulk of the
general supplies remaining now in
the Xenana store will be shipped
to Anchorage preparatory to the
closing of the local store in the
near future. A certain amount of
supplies will be kept on hand and
will be handled by a timekeeper,
after the closing of the store. Sur
plus articles will be sold locally by
General Storekeeper E. J. Cronin,
as has been done heretofore.
There will be no change in the
personnel of the store forces here.
Mr. Manning said, but, in about two
months time, the Xenana store de
partment will cease to exist as such,
and it is likely that the present em
ployes of that department will be
taken care of in other branches of
the service.

SERBIA HAS “COME BACK"
PROSPERITY GENERAL NOW
BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, Jan. 9— ’
Serbia has “come back". This is,
perhaps the most incisive way of j
saying that the little Slav kingdom
has recovered in the most spectacu- '
lar way from the effects of the war.
For the first time in ten years the.
country is standing on its own feet1
and is in no need of outside assist
ance. The peasantry of Jugoslavia,
which form the backbone and sinew
of the country, are enjoying a de
gree of prosperity and materia! con
tentment unknown before.
Other countries may have their
unemployment problems but Jugo
slavia has none. Indeed, she has
abundant work for thousands of
aliens who are honest, have the will
to work and are free from Bolshe
vism. Two hundred thousand good
Russians who were without employ
ment since the Petrograd revolution
of 1917, have came to hospitable
Jugoslavia and found useful and
profitable employment among people
of their own tongue. Every Serbian
soldier, too, has found remunerative
work upon leaving the army. Sol
diers’ unions, legions or employment
bureaus do not exist in this country.
The most impressive evidence of
Serbia’s rejuvenation is the extra
ordinary building boom which is
sweeping the country. In Belgrade
alone, four thousand buildings are
in course of construction. In every
corner of the kingdom business
buildings, schoolhouses and private
dwellings are springing up with a
rapidity that reminds one of the
building boom in the Western towns
of the United States when gold was
discovered, or of the home-building
craze that seized the suburban cen
ters of that country a decade ago.
Every square foot of the 4,000
buildings now being erected in the
Serbian capital is taken, and it will
require thousands of additional
structures to accommodate the busi
ness firms and individuals who are
flocking to the Jugoslavian metropo
; lis in ever-increasing numbers. Once
called “an overgrown village”, Bel
grade is now for the first time as
suming the proportions, importance
and dignity of a real capital. Soon
the city will have a splendid parlia
ment building, a royal residence,
and an opera house of which more
prosperous and ostentatious coun
tries might feel proud.

The Anchorage Oil & Develop
ment Company has given an option
[for 75,000 shares of its stock to R.
E. Burns, of Chicago, who visited
the coast town recently. The pur
| pose of the transaction was to se
i cure funds for a standard rig with
i which to drill the holdings of the
company, embracing 5,000 acres.
THe Star rig. with which prospect
j ing work was done last year, five
miles east of Anchorage, has been
returned to the Alaskan Engineering
Commission, and it is the hope of ’
the promoters to instai a rig capable
of going down 3,000 feet.
Two robberies recently were put
over in Seward, the victims being
the Urbache clothing store, and the
Seward Drug store. Urbache lost
about $125 and the drug store lost
$33. and it is believed that both
jobs were done by the same party.
