DEPOSED GAR HAD
VAST ARMY OF SPIES
Provisional Government Publishes
Lists Containing 10000
Names In All.

Thirty-three long lists of
spies, informers and agents provoca-
teurs in ex-Emperor Nicholas pay have
been published by the commission for
securing the new system of govern
ment appointed by the provisional gov
ernment Immediately after the revolu-
ton. Fifty more lists may be expected.
The total number OF these secret legion
aries of autocracy is expected to reach
10000. Those whose guilt is beyond
doubt have been put in Jail, but it is
not yet settled whether they will be
tried and punished or merely kept In
Jail until all peril of reactionary coun-
ter revolution has passed.
The commissions reports depict pre-
cisely the same system of espionage
and state provocation to crime as -four
ished in Turkey under Abdul Hamid II.
The distinction is that Abdul Hamid
ran his spy and provocation system d.
rectly from the Yildiz kiosk, whereas
Nicholas intrusted his system to the no
torious "okhrannoe otdielenie," or Sc,
curity department, which occupied a
big building in the Basil Ostrov dis
trict.
The first act of the triumphant revo-
lutionaries was to seize the security de-
partment's secret papers. Many of
these were burned in bOnfres outside
the building. The more precious docu-
ments, especially those relating to the
state organization of crime, had been
kept in safes. and they escaped destruc-
ton. The revolutionaries also seized
tens of thousands of secret records in
the departments provincial offices. and
from these. backed by confessions of
imprisoned spies, are being compiled
the lists. The lists will be followed by
a five volume official History Of
Espionage Under Nicholas H."
Every spy had "klitchka," or nick
name. by which he was known to the
police. The departments records bris-
tie with such nicknames as "Fatty,'
"Longnose," Sunday Boy" "Ele-
plant" and Arsenic" The spy had
also two or three faxed surnames, and
he often changed his town and name
when he fell under the revolutionaries
suspicion.
Many spies and informers Qike the
famous Father Gapon, whose treachery
on Bloody Sunday" 1905, led to his be
ing hanged by a revolutionist engi-
neer) were at one time genuine revO-
lutionaries and became later betrayers
and informers. Some seem to have
served both sides honestly and earned
the approval of both, and some do not
seem to have known which side they
sympathized with.

HUMAN SLED SAVES
GUIDE 1000 FEET UP
Lookout on Mount Hood Slides Down
Two Miles With Injured Man
on Top of Him.

Portland, Ore.-By making a sledge
Of himself on the snow clad upper
slopes of Mount Hood, Elijah Coal
man, forestry service on the mountain
brought to safety Hans Fuhrer, a bad.
ly injured mountain guide, who is now
in a hospital here.
Fuhrer had guided a party of men
and women to the summit, 1000 fee,
up. When mile from the top on the
descent Fuhrer fell on the sharp blade
of an ak, sustaining a serious wound
in the abdomen. Coalman, the lookout,
had been watching the party through
a spyglass from the summit and saw
the accident. He slid, coasted and
plunged down the intervening mile and,
helped by members of the sight seeing
party, hastily stanched Fuhrer's
wound.
Then, throwing himself fat on his
back, he drew Fuhrer ON his body and
directed those in the party to attach a
rope to his feet. Holding the wounded
man with his clasped arms, Coalman
was dragged over the snow two miles
to the timber line, where Fuhrer was
placed in an automobile and brought
here.

NEW BUILDINGS FOR
TRENTON EXPOSITION
Judging of Cattle to Be Conducted In
CoIiseum-Horse Show Buildings.

To keep pace with the demand for
more space at the Trenton Fair the
management has had three attractive
buildings constructed for the exposi-
ton, which will be held this year from
Sept "a to 2S.
They are a beautiful Coliseum and
two architecturally attractive Horse
Show buildings. A distinctive combi-
nation of permanence and beauty has
been achieved in the workmanship.
The Coliseum will have width of
so feet and depth of 200 feet 1t will
supplant the temporary tents for the
judging of all live stock. horses. cattle.
sheep and swine
The two Horse Show buildings each
cover 200 by 30 feet of ground. They
contain eighty box stalls and will dou-
Bile the capacity of the structure now
used.
All of the buildings are of hollow tile
and stucco with red brick trimmings.
They are located in the northern end
Of the grounds west of the cattle Sec
ton.
The former Horse Show building will
be taken for the Poultry, Pigeon and
Pet department. The transfer will
place modern structure at the dis
pOsal of this department. which has

WAR SHOWS VALUE OF
TUBERCULOSIS FIGHTS
Hardships Have Brought France,
Which Never Attacked Dis
ease, 100000 Cases.

New York.-The war has added one
more proof of the value Of the English
and American anti-tuberculosis, fresh
air campaigns. While France is stag
gering under an almost unbearable
load of 100000 cases Of tuberculosis,
England has raised an army of 5,000-
600 without any new or sudden tuber-
culosis problem such as that which
has left France with her armies de-
vitaliZed.
Fresh air, out Of door work and
sports, open windows, good food, rest
and treatment have kept England and
America relatively free from tubercuA
losis. The French, who have almost
entirely ignored the value of anti-tu-
berculosis campaigns, now find them
selves with no facilities for caring for
the thousands of new cases which the
war has brought upon the country.
French peasants have few windows
and an almost ineradicable aversion to
fresh air in the house. French doctors
have only in few cases given special
attention to tuberculosis problems. At
the outbreak of the war the well train
ed physicians of Great Britain elm
mated from the army all those who
had the faintest taint of tuberculosis.
The lesson for America is written so
all may read. Only through increased
efforts against the white plague can
the huge army which the United States
must raise be kept free from the
scourge which is weakening France.

Wise Observations

It's just as bad to say things that
disagree with others as it is to eat
things that disagree with yourself.
Work is not an enemy, but the best
Of friends.
Narrow love and faith and hope make
narrow life.
The optimist is man who can scent
the coming harvest when the snow is
on the ground. He can feel the days
before him.
Don't be too nice" 1t is such an i'm
pediment to usefulness as suffering is
to speech.
Your enjoyment of nature this sum-
mer. the sea. the mountains, the fow-
ers, will not depend upon the sea or
the mountains or the flowers, but upon
yourself.
