TRICYCIEs FOR WOUNDED

Tricycles and motor vehicles of all
sorts will be in demand for men who
have lost limbs in the war, according
To Consul H. D. Van SAINT, Dunferm-
line, Scotland.
1T is estimated that in Great Brit
ain alone from 100000 to 1000, 900 tools
suitable for use by men having an
artificial arm could be Sold" Mr. Van
SAINT reports. These tools are needed
to enable mechanics to carry on their
previous trades as plumbers, black
smiths, carpenters, etc. One expert
claims that there is at present a mar
ket for at least 100000 small motor
cars or electric tricycles, well and
simply constructed and easily manip-
ulated, for the use of crippled officers
and men. No such machine has yet
made its appearance in the Dunferm-
line district, and when a practical
motor or tricycle. is offered at a price
below $500 tho sale of a large number
will be assured from the start
Bicycles are becoming increasingly
SCARCE. Wheels formerly selling at
$25 and $50 now bring $50 to $40. Grip
pies chairs and hand tricycles have
become equally difficult to obtain and
are costly, while there are scarcely
any suitable for this hilly country.
An efficient hill climbing tricycle. X
motor---one easily understood And
managed by an armless or lie eIess
man-would meet an urgent demand.

BF1.GIANs HAVE SAD FATE
workmen of Belgium are faring pit

Workmen of Belgium are faring pit
iably under the German occupation,
according to word which has reached
the department of labor through the
Belgian Bulletin. This publication
quotes a Teutonized paper in Belgium.
Although this paper is very careful
not to indicate who is responsible for
the heavy load of misery that these
people carry, it gives the following
sad picture of some old people in line
waiting at the shops opened by the
commission for relief in Belgium.
They are legion, inca
pacitated for any labor.
They form a queue.
They get in line for themselves,
for their relatives, for their children
kept at other tasks, for their neigh
bors who are at work or exhausted by
toll.
Their poor legs bend under the
weight, however slight, of their ema-
ciated bodies; they totter against the
walls, their poor hands trembIe, and
with fingers all stiffened by disease
and cold, they make vague gestures
which punctuate the still wagner talk
| by which they force themselves to kill
time during their long hours of wait
ing.

CzECHO- SLOVAK
DRIVE like ONE
MADE BY. CORTEz
Push Way Through $500
Miles of Hostile Territory
in Serbia.

Vladivostok, Nov. S.---(Oorrespond-
ence of The Associated Press. )---Gen-
eral Gaida's CzechO-Slovaks fighting
their way through $500 miles of hos
tile territory furnishes a tale no less
thrilling than that related Of Cortez's
drive from Vera Cruz to the ancient
Aztec capital in the sixteenth century.
Like his illust.ious predecessor, he
saw his forces grow as his successes
multiplied, but his successes, also like
those of the adventurous Spaniard,
were due ITO his unfagging courage
and ingenious tactics and to the 10y
atty of his men.
When the orLer came from Petro-
grad countermanding the permission
given Dor the free movement of the
Czecho-Slovaks toward Vladdvostok, it
found them strung out in a thin line
from the Volga to V1adivostok. A
12-day truce, following the first seri-
Gus clash at Irkutsk when the Boil
sheviki undertook to disarm a train
load Of Czechs, applied only to East
ern Siberia and was utilized by Cal
da's men to get a running start for
the plunge through the thickest of the
struggle. Thereafter his policy ap-
pears to have been to constantly pre-
pare and execute some new surprise
until the enemy was in such a state
of nerves that the approach of a body
of Czecho- SEovaks, no matter how
small, was likely to throw him into a
panic.
Assisted by Cossacks and by Czechs
from Chiliabinsk, Colonel Kadlets
then commander of the Czech forces
west of Irkutsk, fought his way west

Liggett At Sedan
And Holds Railway

With the American Army on the
Sedan Front, Nov. s-The matter OF
peace negotiations failed to slow down
In the slightest degree the operations
along the front yesterday. The news
that Germany has taken definite steps
to obtain an armistice reached ad-
vanced headquarters, but was not &C.
companied by any orders affecting the
big drive now in progress, and it is
expected that the American line will
be carried forward without pause.
With that part of Sedan resting on
the western bank of the river occu-
pied, the American army is consolidat-
ing it's positions and preparing for a
further advance.
The Americans east of the Mouse
fought Thursday over some of the
roughestc ountry in France, taking
the heights south of the Woevre forest
and advancing more than four kilo-
metres notwithstanding the desperate
rear guard activity Of the German
machine gunners.
Hill $50, the great hogback between
Lion and Marvaux, was taken in the
morning by the Americans. The
Americans pushed through the series
of woods and over the rolling coun-
try, reaching the regions of Bande-
Vile, Breheville and Lissey. Vilosnes
Sivry and Haraumont, to the south
and east of Dun-sur- Meuse, were
among the places taken.
West of the Meuse the American
troops are in close touch with the rail.

places as can be defended both abovt
and below on the river. Concrete in

Since Nov. 1 the Americans hav'
taken 5000 prisoners. They hav

JAPAN's UNIQUE POPULATION.

There has never before been a ma
ton at once so numerous and so no
mogeneous as the japanese, says a
writer in Scribner's. Their population
is estimated at somewhere between
60, 0OO, 900 and 75o0O,O0O. Their terri
tory hardly so extensive as was con-
tr'olled by our Revolutionary colonies,
contains from half to quarters
as many people as inhabit the whole
United States. This population, too,
is remarkably uniform. Those who
know Japan best agree that, If we
except the negligible aborigfnes of
some northern provinces, you can
hardly find among the japanese any
difference much more pronounced
than those which might distinguish
New Hampshire from Connecticut.
Compare this with our own country,
or with the widely various races and
| languages of China or of India, or
with England, Scotland and Wales,
and you will see that the patriotism
of Japan has to sanction it's intensity
a regulation that is unique in human
record,

men have suffered more than any
other class of Russians from the Boil
shevik regime. They are the only
ones absolutely unable to find en-
T.oyment and who are condemned by
the Bolshevih to literal starvation.
From the very first day the Boil
sheviki assumed control of the coun-
try, fines, Imprisonment and suppress
sion of papers were more frequent
than even in the worst periods Of the
Emperors rule. The fines imposed by
the Bolsheviki commissars were in
comparably heavier than in the old
days. when 5000 rubles was the maxi
mum amount They fined papers
10000 ru'bles for publishing war news
without permission. One Moscow pa
per was fined 10000 rubles for the Of
fence. For spreading provocative
rumors," in Moscow alone in one day
four newspapers were suppressed,
five were heavily fined and ten were
indicted for reports tending to dis
credit the government"
The publishers could not stand the
heavy drain of constant fines, the edl-
tors dreaded the prospect of a more
or less protracted stay in prison, ana
the reporters were afraid to write
about anything rejecting upon Boil
shevik methods, as that might be con-
Strued an attempt to discredit the
government. A newspaper acqualnt-
ance of the writer, a member Of the
staff Of a most progressive daily, af-
ter having been twice imprisoned and
his paper made to pay a fine Of 10000
rubles flyr an inoffensive article, con-
fessed that he was at a loss what to
do how to write.
Whenever public dissatisfaction be-
came too pronounced the government
suppressed all non EDlshevik, "bour-
geois" publications. This example of
Bolshevik craftsmanship was emulat-
ed by the Petrograd and other Sovi-
cts, so that the Russian press entirely
ceased to exist.

under greatest difficulties. They be-
came so pressed for food supplies that
they had To eat their horses. But they
accomplished their object. They at
tackled the Bolsheviki in the middle
of the night, captured their machine
guns and started them northward in
disorder. The Bolsheviki succeeded IN
blowing up one tunnel, the last one in
the series.
The Czechs and their Russian allies
now had a clear track to the southern
extremity of the lake, to a village
named Slujianka, where the blocked
tunnel presented a serious obstacle 70
further progress. They dragged a few
light guns over the ridge and marched
several contingents of troops around
the obstruction only to find the Boil
shevih massed in force some 20 miles
beyond. The Czechs and Russians
suffered heavy losses in the fighting
here and were forced back to within
few miles of the tunnel
Meantime the Czechs had cleared
the tunnel Sufficiently to pass troops
| through, on foot. General Gaida, who
had succeeded Colonel Kadlets in
Icommand, caused decoy messages TO
fall into the enemy's hands, begging
for help and declaring that the tun-
mel was hopelessly blocked and he in
desperate straits, surrounded and at
the end of his resources. The Boil
seviki thereupon moved southwark in
high spirits, throwing aside all eau

A few miles from the tunnel they
ran into an ambush which completely
demoralized them. Machine guns
raked them from the hillsides and
field guns shelled them front and
rear. A tattered remnant Of the Boil
shevik army fed northward with the
few trains they were able to save.
