BRITISH RECRUITING
LONDON, an 29.—As the time goes on the number
of recruits for the new Kitchener army is increasing
rapidly. Scions of wealthy families who are unable to
secure commissions are joing the ranks as privates and
never in the history of the nation has there been such a
levelling of social classes. Troop ships are crossing the
channel constantly with regiments which are regarded as
having been sufficiently trained to take the field. ^ oung
men from the universities are being rapidly whipped in
to shape as officers while great numbers ot non-commis
sioned officers are being promoted to the commissioned
ranks. Immense losses in all ranks are being continuous
ly suffered but the greater the losses the greater seems
to be the desire of the young men to till the vacancies.
Many of the professional football players are now joining
the ranks at the urgent request of the English leaders.
For a time the greatest difficulty was experinced in en
ticing them from the sport so dear to them but meetings
are being held at football games now and stirring speeches
are being delivered to draw the men into the lighting
line.
PETROGRAD TALKS OF IT
PETROGRAD, Jan. 20.—’The advance of the Tenth
Russian army into East Prussia follows virtually along
the same lines as the advance of Rennenkampf’s army at
the beginning of the war when East Prussia was iirst in
vaded. The only difference is that the present invading
force is advancing further to the northward to avoid the
Mazurian lakes region where the Russians met defeat at
the hand of Hindenburg. To the north of the lakes the
country offers a much easier way for an ad\ance.
TURKS NOT HEARD FROM
CAIRO, Jan. 29—The Turkish army which is sup
posed to be advancing on the Suez canal seems to have
been marooned in the Syrian desert as nothing has been
heard of it for three days. It is true that the advance
guards of the army have shown up near the canal but
they travelled by a route by which it would be impossible
to conduct a whole army. British soldiers and Egyptian
soldiers under the British flag are constantly on the
march from this city towards the canal where a large
army is being concentrated for the defence of the canal
and Egvpt. British and French warships have also been
gathered in the waters at the northern entrance to the
canal and great fighting may be expected soon if the Tur
kish army can succeed in crossing the desert. _

IDITAROD PEOPLE IN
ERROR ABOUT MAIL.
They Seem to Expect That Whole
i Weight is Intended For Them and
it Certainly Should be.
In the complaints made in Iditarod
and other interior places about the
mail service it is apparent that Idita
rod expected its allowances was 4<5
pounds each trip but Postmaster
Hickey points out that this amount is
the total allowed for all the places on
the trip. On this trip are included
Knik. Takotna, Susitna, McGrath, Flat
and Iditarod so that each gets only a
l miserably small amount. Mr. Hickey
believes this amount is ridiculously
small and he suggests that a separate
mail contract should be provided for
Knik. By the time the 475 pounds
passes by all the other places and the
quota for each place is taken out there
is very little left for Iditarod. It is
well that the people of Iditarod should
know these facts as it will aid them
in making a tight for a more gener
ous supply of mail which they cer
tainly ought to have.
