Petrograd. via London. Jan. 24.-One
small squad Of Russian soldiers Is serv-
ing as the guard for 100000 Austrian
and German prisoners. whose prison
walls consist OF 1000 miles of frozen
steppes. separating them from the Dor.
ders Of their W countries.
These prisoners are informed at Semi
palatinsk. on the Irish river. near the
borders of western Mongolia. The pris-
oners were brought by rail to Omsk.
where they were embarked on steam
boats for the thousand mile trip down
the Irish river to Semipalatinsk.
Here splendid quarters were found in
the big barracks erected for the mobili-
cation of the Russian army and unoc-
cupied since its departure for the
front.
Every morning at s O'Clock the pris.
oners are released from che barracks
and permitted to wander about at will.
When they depart in the morning they
are told that unless they report at the
barracks by nightfaIl they will be
locked out, and at this time Of the year
in that bleak country this would mean
certain death, as there are practically
no places where they could obtain shell
ter. The freedom of the prisoners dur
ing the day is absolute, even to the ex-
tent of accepting employment from
local mining companies.
One Of the handicaps to the develop.
ment OF southeastern Siberia is the
lack of roads. and it Is likely that the
Russian war department will be asked
TO put these prisoners to road making.

out of the dim past the ancient and
more or less honorable stratagem OF
substituting a head-gear for the ball
in a play around left end, while the
legal probate spheroid went the other
way. That was the trick invented by
Ulysses to gain an entrance into Troy,
and it was ruled out when Doc Will
liams was in the kindergarten. vi
course it worked for touchdown, for
all the Sank Centre players were born
since it was last pulled. Referee Gar
rity called it good. After somewhat
heated argument, the class in Ancient
History was dismissed and the Sank
Centre players donned their sweaters
and started away from there, under
threat that their expense money
would be withheld. They were allowed
to get as far as the street entrance,
when the Fergus Falls management
cut the comedy and called them back,
agreeing to disallow the touchdown.
The funniest thing about this stunt
was that they apparently expected to
make it stick. Play was resumed by
a kickoff.
The third period was featured by

pass, when he leaped into the air and

they took a substantial method of
showing this appreciation last Sunday

sacks of oats. They also brought re-

very enjoyable Afternoon at the home
of Mrs. Wallace. The lady stated to
the Herald that she appreciated
the oats very much, but what pleased
her most was evidence of satisfactory
service expressed by the patrons. Mrs.
Wallace has the longest of the six
