SIBERIAN SITUATION

Picking, March 9.-Plans for the res
toration of popular government in 81
IBERIA under Admiral Kolchak, former
commander of the Russian Black sea
fleet, alone through the organization OF
an army to cooperate with General
Semenoff, the leader of the anti bolshe-
vik government in Siberia, are now In
preparation, it is learned here Already
a newly formed organization Of nus
slams has begun enlisting men for the
support of General Semenoff, and yester-
day four field guns and 10 machine guns
were forward to him on the Manchurian
railway. Admiral Kolchak, who is a.
veteran of the Russo-Japanese war, aad
was the head Of the Russian naval COM
mission that visited the United States
last year, is now at Shanghai.
It is proposed that General Semenoff,
with the support of the forces to be or
ganized to reinforce him, shall advance
from the town of Manchuria on the Man
churian- TRANSIT aikal border, where IS
now fighting as far east as Irkutsk,
some 800 miles distant on the Trans-Si-
berian railroad. There he is to await
Japanese support in money and men,,
which, it Is declared, have already been
promised him.
(From Irkutsk to the Ural mountains.
on the border of European Russia, is a
distance of about 1900 miles)
The latest kilograms from General
Semenoff show that he is fighting along
the railway west of the town of Man
churia All westbound trains, he re-
ports, are being held at that point.

JEWEL CARMEN AND
MADGE EVANS WILL
BE SEEN AT LOEW'S
Wonderful Film Stars, One of Whom
Is Only Nine Years of Age, Will
Be Here This Week

Jewel Carmen. wonderful screen
star Of IL successful photoplay films.
win be seen at Loew's Bijou Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday in a
most fascinating play of the golden
west entitled 1.-THE Girl With the
Champagne Eyes" Miss Carmen is a
bundle of personal charm, and has
unlimited histrionic ability.
She always holds the tense and rapt
attention of every auditor in all of
her pictures, but in this one she is
said to have eclipsed all other previous
efforts. Her work is vivacious and
she IL clearly at her best.
For the second half of the week
Madge Evans, the 9-year-old star, Is
to be seen in that pathetic comedy
drama, >"Wanted--A Mother" and
though there may be some tears and
there might be little crying Here
Is comedy enough to make you glad
you got the pathetic touch, for the
play Is SO human. SO intensely ev-
everyday with those who have hearts
to feel and eyes to weep. This ill.,
Tia miss is the joy of all of the movie
IKE her. Recently she appeared in a
film where she was bidding farewell
to all Of the screen stars and it was
an affectionate scene.
Madge appears in every picture per-
3ectly at herself and with that child
charm and sweetness that takes you
home, clear away from the imaginary
TO the beautiful and real things in
life.

which we already have, IS simply superb.
Our quarters and meals are fine.
Uncle Sam sure is a good boss. We get
restless and chafe at delays, etc, but
there are big men at the wheel working
this thing out for us. Lots Of red tape
but there is need for II. If you'll look
long enough you'll always find a reason.
We have about $50 patients in the hos
pital at present.
I'VE don't get much war news here
and have to depend on the malls, which
are slow.
II think this place will be great one
to do some good work for the boys,
as we are right on the line of communi-
citation from the front and the Red Cross
teams will run right up to our door.
These people are lovely TO us in every
way, but we can't do any talking to-
gether.
Uncle Sam, with the Young Mems
Christian association, IS a wonderful
force for clean living and habits and our
men won't suffer from unrestrained bad
morals as the British did. It's very
strict on our men and they chafe at
the restraints, but it's mighty good
thing for all concerned. They won't let
us go to Paris even during our leaves of
absence, one week every four months
