SAN FRANCISCO.—Account is
given of the service in behalf of the
American soldiers in France and the
cost of maintaining it in a recent
report from Pacific division head
quarters of the American Red Cross.
To the end of last June this serv
ice entailed an expenditure of $15,
453,050 and $13,829,418 has been
appropriated to make our more
than 2,000,000 men over there com
fortable during the last six months
of the year.
Long before General Pershing's
40,000 troops reached France, the
American Red Cross had established
canteen and rest stations at various
strategical points between the ports
of debarkation and the front line
trenches. Six were open last March
when American troops began arriv
ing overseas in heavy contingents.
These canteens fed 30,000 soldiers a
day, twice that number have been
established and it is expected that
53 American Red Cross canteens
will be in operation by the end of
the year.
From March to the end of June,
this year, $1,671,789 was spent for
canteen service For the last six
months in the year $2,059,649 has
been appropriated for the work,
$905,808 of this amount being for
the maintenance of front line can
teens.
One of the most vital features of
American Red Cross work in France
is the emergency aid given to the
army medical corps. In addition to
recruiting nurses for the army, the
Red Cross maintains hospita ** arid
dispensaries which are at the dis
posal of the army for any emerg
ency that arises.
In addition to its 7,500 military
beds, the Red Cross has 600 con
valescent beds in its eight conval
escent houses. An appropriation of
$5,438,919 has been made to cover
the cost of maintaining this service
for the wounded American soldiers
during the last six months of this
year.
1 INDUSTRY ENCOURAGED
AT QUARANTINE CAMP
i
The prospect of a stay of five
j | days at a remote camp with nothing
to do but loaf as the only means
of distraction, is not considered
appealing in any sense by the aver
| age sourdough, who has been used
j to a strenuous life in tlie North,
j and so when our esteemed friend
Jim Russell found that to be re
united to his family he would have
to spend five such idle days, the
prospect did not please him although
I he was prepared to make any sort
'of a sacrifice to reach Nenana.
1 Now Jim Russell is nothing if not
resourceful, and he made up his
mind that he would do better than
loafing at the camp for the five
days he would be held there in quar
antine. Soon after he hit quaran
• tine camp No. 1 and was assigned
1 quarters, he took a stroll into the
nearby woocjs and selected a fine
bunch of standing timber. Return
ing to camp he provided himself
.with a good axe and promptly dis
appeared into the woods. From then
on he showed up at the camp ^regu
, larly at meal time and is reported
to have eaten his meals with a relish
which was the envy of the rest of
the quarantine “guests.”
He continued his self-imposed
task regularly with great pleasure,
and when released from quarantine
yesterday found that had cut eight
cords of wood and this is now be
. i ing hauled to the Russell residence
’, on upper A street.
I ' The wood was cut only during
f the hours of daylight, how he spent
^ i the rest of the time is not known.

SALONIKI—Greeks and Serbians^
in Eastern Macedonia, who suffered
pillage, persecuton, deportation and
murder at the hands of Bulgars
before the armies of the former
King Ferdinand quit the country
under the terms of an armistice,
are exhibiting dissatisfaction over
what they term the indulgence of
the Entente Powers toward Bul
garia.
With fully 42,000 of their num
ber deported, half of whom, it is
belived, died under the hardships
imposed upon them, the Macedonian
natives are demanding, according to
a Reuter correspondent who toured
the liberated territory, that the Bul
garians be crushed by traditional
Balkan methods. During the period
of occupation the Bulgarians proved
themselves "brutes and past masters
in acts of spoilation and violence.”
said the correspondent, and when
appeals for relief were made to the
German authorities no attention was
paid to them.
Entering Macedonia as friends,
under an understanding with for
mer King Constantine of Greece,
the Bulgarians established a reign
of terror which has been character
ized as a disgrace to civilization.
They imposed upon the population
a rationing system which resulted
in the starvation of many, following
assessments of taxes and seizure of
provisions to an extent that im
poverished the country. Then fol
lowed wholesale executions and
crimes against men, women and
girls of the most revolting char
acter, the survivors declared. At
Seres only 5,000 persons remain
of 25,000 living in the city when the
Greeks turned it over to the Bul
gars. The population of Demir
Hassir fell from 12,000 to 2,300
and in Kavala 8.000 to 9.000 per
sons died of starvation alone in
1917, while in 1910 deaths number
ed 30 a day, largely from malnutri
tion. In these and smaller cities the
Bulgars not only confiscated the
bulk of the foodstuffs, but forced
the able-bodied inhabitants to work
for the invaders and carried away
vast quantities of agricultural im
plements and furniture.
Joy ir. Macedonia over the with
drawal of the Bulgars is exhibited
by inscriptions on many street cor
ners reading, “Christos Anesti”
(Christ is Risen I, while the Hell
enic army of liberation was received
everywhere with enthusiastic ac
claim.
SNOWSLIDES OCCUR
ON COAST END OF ROAD
Several snowslides have occurred
along the line of the government
railroad between Anchorage and
Seward this winter, according to
advices received from Anchorage
I Two slides covered the rails near
Mile 34. One of these slides brought
down a large quantity of snow.
This larger slide was 25 feet deep
and 300 feet long.
Another heavy slide took place
near Mile 71. It measured 30 feet
deep and 250 feet long. A compara
tively small slide occurred at Mila
'76 >2.
Four slides occurred opposite the
trestle at Mile 83. One of these
was the largest since the beginning
in 1916 of construction work on
the Anchorage-Seward line. It cov
ered the ground along the trestle
for a distance of 300 feet, but did
not damage the trestle.
It is a sad thing when a man has
either a reputation beyond his
merit, or an ambition beyond his
ability.
