MUNITIONS MAY BE TAKEN OVER
 BY BOLSHEYIKI
tgsQC'4tei FTr9SD

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. B. The reports which were received through tha Associated Press that the BoIsheYik forces had taken charge of the government at Vladi. yostok are causing some uneasn"ss here. There are great stores of am munition and other war supplies at this Pacific coast port Of Russ.a which were shipped by both America and Japan for lhe use of the Russian armies against Germany,
 It is thought probable that tho Bolsheyih clement was informed of the presence of these munitions and rushed their troo"- there to take possession of them, r this be th3 case, and the supplies should be seized and not us.t foc the allied cause, it is very likely 10 cause the allied nations and the United States to adopt a definite policy toward the new Russian government. which has so far been ignored
 It is believed here that the seizure of this ammunition would lead to serious results and ones which would probably involve Russia In great trouble. Official information from the American consul at Vladiyostok is being waited for before any action is taken

LONDON, Dee 8.-The war office announces today that the British forces under General AIcnby hare captured the ancient town of Hebron from the Turks and are moving on in the direction of Jerusalem. The fall of this latter city is imminent.
 Hebron is 8 city of approximately 10000 inhabitants. the majority oi them being Turks, only a few He brews remaining, Its capture Waa effected without much difficulty. the Turks not making any efforts to de fend it after their trenches had been taken. The British cavalry played an important part in the defeat Of the Turks, charging over several lines of trenches and capturing sev- .ral hundred of the enemy. Many suns were also captured, together with much ammunition and oth>r sup plies.
 The enemy forces are retiring rap
 dly toward Jerusalem, where 1t is thought they will make a stand foI d short time, The British forces in Mcsopotamia are also driving in the general direction of Jerusalem, and both armies will be able to make an attack on the Turks from different angles in a short time

Boyle, ot the Canadian mI- litia, who was sent by the American Committee in London to aid in res toring the Russian transportation sys- tenn, recently disposed oi presump- tuous exponent of freedom who ques- toned Boyle's right to investigate problems confronting the Russian army. Lieutenant Colonel Boyle has been engaged for four months in i'm proving the transport conditions along the Rumanian fronts. At certain point on the Russian front the chairman of the soldiers commission to whom Boyle was re- ferred for necessary information met him In an uncivil mood nd imperti- nently answered one question with another calculated to rouse the Ca nadian temper.
 Were you sent here because you were the best man they could find on the French front?' queried the nagging committeeman.
 Possibly so," was the reply. Nov answer me this. Are you the best man in your committee?" l 'I am"
 "What Is your rank?"
 "I am a soldier"
 1 Tt Is unbecoming in me to starr an argument with a soldier" sail Boyle, who saw that he must either subdue his antagonist or fail in his quest. But this is what I propose to you. I take off my uniform" pro ceeding in the meantime to lay aside l his cap harness" and uniform coat, and meet you man to man. Now you name any job that you think you can do better than l can from lifting or jumping to fighting. and I will take you on" The interpreter, a young officer, interpreted the words.
 Tell this chap" continued Boyle, that if he fails to best me in what ever he chooses, he must go away from here and not interfere in my affairs or I shall give him the best beating he has had since he was a child"
 The bully held brief conferonc, with his fellows and went away. If, may have had an inkling that Boyle was once the heavyweight boxing champion of the Canadian northwest.

ARMY OFFICERS HELP RIFLEMEl@

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15,-Col- leges and rifle clubs in all parts of the country are seeking a suspension of the government rule denying them ammunition from the stores of the United States Army officials of the Western Department of the army stated here recently. Some months ago they were told that they would receive no ammunition from the army, but could purchase all they desired from other sources.
 Army officials here are at work on scheme to satisfy the demand in part at least. The colleges and gun clubs have grown to such important military factors, the officials say, that their needs for ammunition is great Few of them have set funds for pur- chasing this ammunition.
 The army men are also considering a "commutation scheme" of supplying these colleges and clubs with which to buy ammunition, instead of open ing the army stores to them.

GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, Dec. S. The government of Ecuador this morning severed diplomatic rela- tions with Germany and has handed the German representatives their passports. This action was cCnsid- cred necessary on account of the numerous German agents who are known to have been operating in a vain effort to create a friction be tween the two nations.
 The action of the government was not unexpected, as the sentiment against the German government has been growing stronger for several months. It is believed that it is only a matter of a few weeks before Equador declares war on Germany

COMMUNICATION.
Editor, Progressive-Miner. Dear Sir

Dear Sir
 Replying to your inquiry of April 3rd, for a reason why a Red Cross Chapter has not started in our city will say I regret to report that my ef- forts to establish this benefcient, world renowned society here have, to date, met with little encouragement. I can say the same about the Relief Society I tried to establish. I am will ling to donate ground on Mahoney Heights, near my cabin to the city so that it can build a temporary shel- ter for any poor sick person unable to pay for a place to stay.
 Also one of our prominent citizens said he would be willing to furnish ground for a garden where potatoes and other vegetables for the use of such poor people could be planted.
 If you will kindly suggest in your paper that the several clubs in town get together and appoint some even ing for meeting in the Council Cham Der and unite in bringing both of these worthy projects into vigorous life 1t seems to me our city and our coun- try may be benefited thereby.

The thought Of the deprivations they
must face themselves and OF the hard
ships in dealing with people whose
modes of life are strange to them
never occurred to these nurses when
they volunteered for service. Their
only thought was that these forsaken
people needed their help. and they
went forth gladly to give 1t.
1t is estimated that there are more
than a million destitute orphans In
France. These children must be
saved II the nation is TO be preserved.
and the task of helping to save thou
sands OF them is falling to our public
health nurses, who are experienced in
infant welfare work
Amid strange surroundings, with
none OF the facilities for work that
they are accustomed to, these nurses
are doing their best TO save the little
ones OF the gallant defenders of
France. They are giving the mothers
instruction in the feeding and ny
gienic care of their babies and striv-
ing to help them meet the appalling
conditions which the war has caused.
In France there are said to be ap-
proximately 100000 persons stricken
with tuberculosis, which has become
as great a menace to the country as
German bombs and bullets. These
people must be cared for and taught
the necessity OF preventative meas
ures or else the national life will be
undermined by the disease. Again.
American public health nurses are
finding their opportunity here. Num-
hers OF them are already engaged In
tuberculosis work, visiting the sick In
their homes and instructing them, to
care for themselves and prevent in
