ABOUT RUSSIA
A COUNTRY OF GREAT RE
SOURCE-LITTLE INTERNAL
TROUBLE THERE.

Jay Keegan, nephew of Mrs. James
Garry, of this city. tells a Washing
ton correspondent of what he say in
Russia. as follows:
Washington-Jay Keegan, of Law
ton, Okla, who accompanied the
Root mission to Russia as an attache,
was decorated while there for being
under fire on July /. He has a
medal of the order of st. S~anislaus,
the same that is given captains for
bravery.
Russia is in much better shape. ac-
cording to Jay. than Americans are
inclined to believe by reading the
newspapers.
He says that he walked the streets
of Petrograd almost nightly while
there, and the next morning would
pick up a paper and see where there
had been a small disturbance; but he
said by the time il reached America
ii was exaggerated out of all proper
ton.
I'VE need have no fear but that
Russia will go through with the
war;" said Jay. They do not need
men-they have 10000. 600 already
in the army, and 100000 more
ready, and they have ample supply
OF munitions, and while there was a
long cessation of hostilities. there
was no let-up in Russia in manufac-
turing ammunition. German prison
ers captured say there was more
shells fired by the Russians in the
three-day battle than they believed
existed in the world. Kerensky can
make the Russian soldier do any
thing-he Is the greatest power In
that country. and if he lives. within
a very short time Russian forces will
be cemented into a democratic union
as strong. If not stronger, than any
country on the globe
Mr.. Keegan said the greatest sur
prise of the trip to him was Siberia
He said he had always been under
the impression hat Siberia was
vast desert, but he says he crossed its
full length, and stated that if it Were
in the United States ii would all be
under cultivation. THEY call every
thing that does not grow timber over
there a desert" he said. Why
there are millions and millions o.
acres that IAN be cultivated. A par
Of Manchuria is desert, but the most
OF Siberia could be farmed success
fully and all Of it made productive by

To accomplish this result we will start our first half yearly Clearaway sale, and shall make such rediculously low prices as will clear up all summer silks in short order. The silks we offer in this sale are all new silks Silks bought for this seasons trade So we have no old silks to offer you today-and through out the entire week you will find prices on seasonable silks cut without thought of act ual cost or profit to us.

Accrued interest does not appear in the
report Of November 10th which accounts
for the difference in surplus. In fact,
the surplus has increased over June 3oth.
The report shows a loss in deposits Of
g, 412, 1882. As since June 30th. This Is a very
good showing under the circumstances.
The people of Vermont purchased
SIS, 900 900 of the first and second Liberty
bonds, and the above figures indicate
that they are not withdrawing from saw
ings deposits to pay for Liberty bonds to
such an extent as was thought probable
but are buying such bonds with unusual
savings from incomes, salaries and
wages.
Three million, two hundred and forty
eight thousand, three hundred and ninety
three dollars and fifty-six cents of mort
cages in the West and South held by the
banks has been paid since June Goth last,
and the banks have purchased and now
hold over $3.0OO,000 Of Liberty bonds. The
fact that so large an amount of western
and southern farm mortgages have been
paid during the past six months Is one
more proof of the wisdom Of the State
banking law in allowing surplus deposits
Of banks to be so invested. These mort
gage loans have always been paid
promptly when due, and the steady flow
of money into the banks by the payment
of such loans has placed the Vermont
banks in a very enviable position and en-
abled them to meet Withdrawals made to
pay for Liberty bonds and supply the
needs of Vermont borrowers without the
slightest embarrassment.
