TEACHERS NOT ANXIOUS
TO COME TO ALASKA
Teachers for schools in Alaska
are not as easily secured this year
as in the past, according to L. D.
Henderson, territorial commissioner
of education, and his assistant. Miss
Margaret Scott, who are endeavor
ing to fill several calls for teachers
in Alaskan schools for the coming
year.
This, Mr. Henderson explained, is
due to the fact that salaries paid in
Alaska to school teachers are no
longer as attractive as heretofore.
During the past year or so, a na
tion-wide movement has effected a
general raise in teachers’ salaries.
This, together with the shortage of
teachers, which still exists in the
States, has caused fewer applicants
to apply for positions in Alaska.
However, Mr. Henderson said that
i he believed he would be able to fill
! the vacant positions in the school
faculties in Alaska without much
difficulty.
Heretofore school boards in Alas
! ka have been always flooded with
: applications from teachers from ev
; erv part of the United States.

LITTLE COUNTRY
STRIPPED BARE
BY HUNJNVADERS
ATHENS.—Germany has stripped
Rumania of everything, writes a
Red Cross agent from Budapest.
There are only 84 locomotives in
the whole country for the transport
of troops, munitions, and supplies.
Of her 17 theoretical divisions, 11
have had to be demobilized for lack
of food and equipment. There are
not sufficient horses to transport
field artillery, no tractors for the
field artillery. 40 per cent of the
Rumanian medical staffs died during
the war, and there are virtually no
airplanes, armored cars or tanks.
Despite the efforts of the authori
ties, the country is harboring Bol
shevik agents smuggled in by Rus
sia, Hungary and Bulgaria. As 60
per cent of Rumnaia is illiterate,
the Bolshevik danger is apparent.
) The greatest need is food. Food
for the army and food for the civ
ilian population. America has sent
a dozen food ships to Rumania and
the American Red Cross is distrib
uting food at Canteens and by
means of rolling soup kitchens wher
ever the need is greatest. In the
Dobrudja. where the smallpox epi
demic is at its worst, the American
Red Cross has many doctors and
nurses.
America has loaned Rumania $5.
000,000, but the financial situation
of the country remains critical,
writes the Red Cross man. This he
attributes to Rumania’s inability to
export and to the broadcast issue
during the German occupation of
worthless banknotes.
In addition to food, the Rumani
an army and civil population des
perately need clothing. Cloth for a
suit of clothes costs $60 a yard. A
yard of linen for shirts costs $8
and a shirt of ordinary quality $40
A pound of butter costs $5.50.
“How can America help Ruma
nia?” a Rumanian army officer wa:
asked.
“Continue your splendid ship
ments of food through the Ameri
can Army Food Mission and th;
American Red Cross," replied th<
officer. “Send us propaganda writ
ten by Americans to be dropped b;
airplanes in the Bolshevik ranks
We must fight ideas with ideas. Ou:
railroad and transport system is :
wreck. Send us some of the Ameri
can railroad men who did such won
derful work in France.”

HEARING MAKES
SLOW PROGRESS;
STARTED TODAY
The preliminary hearing in the
V a chon case, which was commenced
before Commissioner Reed Heilig, at
Fairbanks, this morning, gave prom
ise, early this afernoon, of consum
ing the entire day. At noon the
case had hardly started, and there
was the prospect of a spirited lega1
[battle, the attorney for the defend
ant having started his defense in
! a manner to indicate that he would
:
j use every means at his command to
save his client from trial in the
.district court.
[ When the case was called yester
j day afternoon, Attorney Tom Mar
iquam. who is representing Peter
jVachon accused of offering beaver
, skins for transport in violation of
the territorial law, demurred to the
complaint, contending that the com
missioner has no jurisdiction in the
[case, either by preliminary exam
ination, trial, or otherwise; also that
the facts as stated in the complaint
; do not constitute a crime. The de
jmurrer was promptly overruled by
j Commissioner Heilig and the hear
ing reset for this morning at 10
o’clock.
There has been a new develop
ment in the case in the form of the
[seitt're of 714 marten skins, which
[were taken from the mail sacks on
the steamer Alaska, when that boat
recently reached Eagle, up-bounl.
The seizure was made by Deputy
Marshal Powers, acting on instruc
tions received from Fairbanks. These
furs, it is reported, are also the
! property of Peter Vachon, having
been placed in the mails at Tolo
ivana for shipment to the States.
Powers is now bringing the furs to
Fairbanks, having taken passage on
the Alaska, which left Eagle, en
route down, early this morning. The
marten skins are valued at $25,000.
