In the United States the percentage
Of general il.it,racy, based on the en-
tire population over ten year OF age, is
~ per cent. IL is per cent for the
native whites. But when this IS set
over against the records furnished by

Persons Close to Pittsburgh Banker Declare Whateve
Money Is Needed to Allow His Bank to Reopen
Will Be Forthcoming This Week

pect to. Six days a week Is enough.
The religious side Of the coke land
king, who is now battling with the big
steel and financial interests IN Pitts
burgh for continuance of his control
of the coke land situation, is a phase
little known 10 any except his most
intimate friends. For forty-four years
he has been a member of the Presby-
terrain Church. and among his other
possessions he is owner OF hall IN
terest in The Presbyterian Banner,
the oldest religious weekly published
west of the Alleghanies.
In those forty-four years Mr. Thomp-
son has rarely missed services on Sun
day morning and then only to sleep.
The necessity for this sleep will be UNI
derstood when it is said that he gets
along with less sleep than Thomas A.
Edison.
81 rarely sleep more than an hour
or two a night from Sunday night 10
Saturday night" Mr.. Thompson recent
IL told visitor. 1T is a good week
that | get in more than eight or nine
hours between Sundays. | do not find
that it hurts me. and will be sixty
one, if live until the middle of next
month"
II is probable that Mr.. Thompson will

is by no means certain. his movements
depending in large measure on what
his counsel in Pittsburgh may advise.
He retains his apartments in the Wal
dorf. i'm New York. where W. II. Con-
way. of his legal staff, is in charge.
Michael J. Ryan, of Philadelphia,
chief counsel for the II. c. Frick Coke
Company, was in Uniontown yesterday,
and attacked the receiverships OF vari-
Gus Uniontown business men connected
with Mr.. Thompson and the First Ma
tional Bank He said il was illegal for
individuals to go into receiverships, as
receivers should be appointed only for
corporations. and individuals must go
into bankruptcy. His comments caused
considerable excitement. especially
among the business men who have gone
into receivers hands following the
banks trouble.
I'm nearly all the churches in Union
town to-day the pastors prayed for me
speedy settlement of the banks affairs
and the return of prosperity TO Union
town.

fBf o. SAT- Correspondent OF Tie Trbuue.l
Uniontown, Penn, Jan. 24.-The eff
feet OF the uprOar caused IN this part
OF the country by charges that Josiah
Y thompson and his associates are
being pursued by big business and
The threat of a federal inquiry as to
the causes leading up TO the closing
of the First National Bank, exclusive
ly told Of IN The Tribune to-day, was
seen when persons close TO Mr.. Thomp-
son received limitations from New
York and Pittsburgh to-day that he
would probably find little difficulty this
week in arranging 10 get such money
"a may be needed TO straighten out
his affairs and allow the bank to re-
open.
The money, if it is received, will not
be in the form Of loan. Mr.. Thomp-
son has not had loan in New York
in ten years. II will probably come
through the sale of a comparatively
small block Of coke land.
II this fails il is not unlikely that
part of the Thompson holdings will be
turned over 10 stock company
formed by his friends, who will put
up the 100000 or S4,000.000 neces-
sary to meet maturing obligations and
pressing charges and give Mr.. Thomp-
son and his associates time 10 move
around in.
With Nh Thompson, they believe
that the tide has turned in the steel
trade. and that the coke business, de-
pressed wheL the steel trade is bad
is soon 10 come into its own. In or
ers Of the II. c. Frick Company, the
coke subsidiary OF the United States

GERMAN LIKES HIS
EXILE In SIBERIA
Captured Officer Says He's Go
ing to Balls and Theatres
and Having Good Time.

Dear Wife: ! am well here in 81

The tcds are fine and the treatment is
first class. ! am allowed TO 20 10 bal $
and theatres and an enjoying myself.
Ny roommate. Never, who wrote a dii-
ferert account home. has Just been
shot
This. according TO the "Berlinel
Kreuz- Zcitung." is in substance the
letter received from German Off
Ger who was captured by the Rus
SLAMS and sent to Siberia. Comment
ing on il the influential German paper
SAYS:
"Whilc it may be that the writer OF
this letter was forced to send glowing
descriptions Of Russian kindness and
humanitarian treatment. the lot Of the
prisoners Of war which Russia mas sent
10 Siberia is not so bad. We stay-at-
homes associate Siberia with every
thing disagreeable. and imagine IL 4
barren country, buried deep in ever
lasting snow and ice. swept by chill
winds and cut Of from the rest Of tho
civilized world. This view generally is
erroneous.
For the benefit Of those here VINO
have relatives in the Russian deteu-
tion camps in Siberia 1t may be said
that reliable information which has
reached here bears out the statement
that German and Austrian prisoners
OF war arc better treated in Siberia
thla they are sometimes in English
concentration camps.
"ln cities like Uralskaja, Tobolsk
Shisn aud other towns which have
been selected as detention camps for
prisoners of war the population has
shown itself courteous and hospitsble
10 the newcomers. This may be &C
counted for by the fact that, being cut
OF from the rest OF the civilized world
for the better part OF their lives, the
inhabitants of these places regarded
the arrival Of the foreigners as an
agreeable diversion in their monoton-
Gus lives.
1T has been reported on good au.
thority that the Siberian officials did
everything 20 make the prisoners as
comfortable as possible. The officer
were quartered in private residences and
the men were sent 10 barracks and al
lowed their liberty, as II is impossible
for them 20 escape through the deser,
Of ice and snow.
ain some cases, il mas been report
ed, officers have even been permitted
10 engage in commercial enterprises.
Balls have been given in their honor
and they have been popular with the
residents on account OF their superior
education
The paper prints excerpts from let
ters written By German prisoners Of
war detained in Siberia TO their rels-
tives TO prove the assertion that ST.
IBERIA is not the land Of perpetual mis-
cry. enlivened only by the Cossaek and
the knout.
