Zemstvo Troops Disarmed.

(By the ASSOclaLe0 FreSS.J IL our
hundred zemstvo troops who Joined
vath, the anti -Bolshevist leader, have
been disarmed by the Allies. The dis
armament was accomplished without
violence. The recent attempt of Lieu
tenant General Horvath to gain con-
troll of the Russian military forces in
Siberia was such a complete failure
that it is probable the 400 Zemstvo
troops which sided with him and sub
sequently were disarmed will join the
army of General Semenoff. anti-Bol
shevik leader in trans Baikalia, who
is cooperating with the Entente fore
es.
An aide to General Horvath today
sought to explain away the detection
of the troops.
The Zemstvo troops, he said, had
long chafed because Of their inaction
and desired to fight the enemy under
General Pleshkoff. Therefore, he said,
when General Pleshkoffs arrived he
issued a call for the troops to assem-
BILE and all came except those of Gen.
eral! Tdfstoff. who refused to suhordi-
nate himself and was dismissed from
command.
'The affair is simple" said the
aide, and I cannot understand why
there is, all this excitement about it,
Believe Position Secure
r Copenhagen. Aug. 31.-Bolshevik
authorities in Russia appear to regard
their position as more secure than
formerly, according to Hans Worst,
probably Germany's best informed
writer on Russian affairs, in review
Of the situation printed in the Tage-
blatt Of Berlin.
Worst says that the main reasons
for the change in the attitude of the
authorities are the recent victories
over the Czecho- -Slovaks,' the feeling
that Entente Intervention in Russia is
less formidable than was at first
feared and the recent German de-
feats which have given rise to a feel
ing that there was nothing to fear
from Germany. Worst calls attention
to the fact that an article appearing
pen of Bolsheviki leader, employed
tone never before used from this
source in an appeal to the Bourgeoisie
to make common cause with the la
borers. - E sr2e".
Worst, in concluding his article,
says:
'It cannot, be mistaken that a
quieter and more confident feeling
prevails in the soviet government, and
in connection with this feeling the in
clination through intensified terrorism
is diminished"

With the American Army on the
Lorraine Front Friday, Aug. 3d.
(By the Associated Press. s.)-American
bombing machines this morning sue
cessfully attacked railway yards and
buildings at Contains. Several direct
bursts were observed and enemy pur-
suit planes followed the invading
Americans back to their lines but did
not attack them.
At noon American airmen dropped
bombs on the railway yards at Lon
guyon, scoring several direct hits
Late in the afternoon Conflans was
again raided but poor visibility made
it difficult to ascertain whether the
bombing was effective. Enemy anti
aircraft guns were active against the
American raiders in all three Of the
days excursions. All Of our machines
returned.
One lone American aviator today
attacked a German who WAS diving 1t

that there were six German aismen
above him. the American forced the
German machine into nose dive.

SOCK MENDING URGED.
Washington Girls Can Aid Nearby
Soldiers, Writer Says.

Organization of clubs among girls in
Washington to mend the socks of Amer
lean soldiers and sailors in camp or sta
tion near the capital is the latest war
activity suggestion.
1t came today from c. l.. Reed of the
Woodward building. who believes the
shortage in socks. If there Is any in
any army or naval camp. could be rem
edied IL mending could be done in time.
Leaders of darning clubs could super
wise the collection and return of all
socks taken out for repair purposes. and
thousands of girls in Washington and
other cities could be thus usefully en-
ployed during war time. according to
Mr.. Reed.
Darning should be added to knitting
the advocate believes,
and many a sock that might otherwise
have an early ending. could be saved
for a career of usefulness. The writer
of the communication to The Star, sug-
gesting this new method of war eff
cheney, expresses a willingness to
darn for the boys"

Might Save Thousands.


Through this invention I feel sure
that the lives of thousands of aviators
will be saved in the future" he says
whose work makes it necessary for
them to go up into the high attitudes
in all seasons of the year and into all
sorts of weather"
The aviator may be as warm and com
Portable at 10000 feet above earth using
his heating device as were he seated
in a pleasantly steam heated apartment
Just think what this invention will
mean to the thousands of American,
French, British and Italian aviators
who are at the front fighting the Hun
in this beastly cold weather." he said.
"They will be able to maneuver their
planes and their guns with ease and
comfort. and therefore will have the
greatest advantage over their enemies
in the air unless the enemy, too, has
devised airplane heating apparatus"
During the period of the war, he Of
fers free to the United States govern
ment the right to use any of his pat
may prefer, even his own.
He has also devised a bomb -dropper,
whereby, he asserts, a bomb can be
thrown from a distance of three or
four miles high and hit with perfect
accuracy even SO small a target as a
soap box. He says his device is as
accurate as gun-firing
Another device is new object
stghter. He says it makes possible for
the observer or bomb-thrower to see
the object target upon the ground
plainly from distance of four or FIVE
miles in air. The object sighter and
the bomb dropper, working together,
he says. make 1t possible to utilize
the greatest efficiency and accuracy
in bomb dropping from airplanes, and
also permits the airmen to remain high
enough in air and out of reach of anti
aircraft guns while they are doing their
work"
About per cent of bombs dropped
from airpIanes. at the present time,
hit the target. he states. Airplanes
are forced into low attitudes. within
reach of anti-aircraft guns, that they
may drop their bombs with any degree
of hopefulness.
'"The kaiser must be whipped" says
Mr.. Lawson. Frankly, the quickest
way to whip him-if not the only way
to whip him-is with aircraft"
