This transfer of the equipment was of course preceded by an agreement made between us and the Moscow government, by which we were guaranteed unmoleSted passage through Siberia, to which tue gov

 "Already there were signs that the Germans were beginning to be uneasy about our movement. Today We have documentary evidence of the fact that in March the Germans considered our
 progress as a naive adventure, Whirh soon would end in failure. When they saw, however, that the impossibiIl- ty," as they called it, was becoming a reality, they then began to do their best to frustrate our efforts, and or
 ganized an army against us As I had
 said the Bolsheviks, though not ex-
 ceptionally friendly to us, restrained so far from all direct action against us. Their only desire in that respect, to which they devoted much money,
 was to persuade our volunteers to join their Red Guard We did practically nothing to oppose it, but we knew our
 men. Our people are. too well educat- ed politically and in every other way, to be carried away by the methods of Lcnine and T-Otzky. Hun Agents Ncfariou~ Work. More dangerous was the work of the German agents who, under the

 "Soon there came the news that the German and Magyar prisoners of war were organizing in Siberia and were being armed by the BOlsheViks under the prctenSe that they were going to fight against "world imperialism" We have proved now that the Germans Were planning to provoke our conflict with the BolSheViks and to destroy uS pieccmcal with the aid of the armed prisoners of war.

THE PRICE YOU PAY

II know I ought to take treatment: I have been running down for the last year or two. l am all Tagged out, have no ambition, worry from morn ing till night. don't care whether am dead or alive, have lost weight and cannot do the same work l used to do some years ago. If l were as strong as I was. I could earn good money. I know I ought to treat with good specialist, but ] cannot afford to pay for the treatment"
 You are paying for it NOW, my friend, and dearly; yet you do not get it.
 Let mo tell you why.
 Your health is your capital; your working capacity is the interest you are drawing.
 A good manager never spends more than his interest
 houd he begin to draw on the capital his interest would, of course, decrease.
 And what are you doing?
 You allow your health to run down more and more; therefore, you can not work and earn what you used to. Do you see the point? You are draw ing on your apital---which is your health--by allowing it to run down, and so the interest (yOur working rapacity) is steadily growing smaller.
 You used to make good money; now you earn about half of what you used to get
 To make two. three or four dollars was play to you; and you had all your heart and soul in your work,
 These happy days are gone.
 You now barely make living and find it almost beyond your strength. And you shudder at the thought of what will happen when the final breakdown comes.
 Figure out in dollars and cents what you have lost already and you will be amazed at the amount; and what you are going to lose is beyond estimation.
 The dollar you MIGHT. earn, but don't, is an actual expense to you. You spend it. And what do you get for it. Worry, anxiety despondency want and deprivation for your family.
 The dollar you take out of your pocket and spend for treatment with an experienced specialist is not an expense. It is an investment. And in return you get increased working ability, higher wages, health ad hap pineSs at home.

 ''Thc Allies knowing the psychology of Russia today, and knowing the real strength of Russia, will extend their help in the proper manner. I think that our army can be of great assist unce in this task; all of our boys have learned Russian in tEe four years of war, and know how to treat the peo- pie. They know the Russian people and Russian situation. and they re sire only the good of Russia. Ii was tho CZecho Siaval1s who were always accused of exaggerated Russophilism by the Germans and Magyars and 1t is the irony of fate that we had to suf- fer so much in Russia We hope and desire that our sacrifices be not offer ed in vain.'

 "The Eolshcviks gave a sufficient proof Of the fact that they are inca pahle to rule. The number of their fighting supporters is very indefinite They consist chiefly of hungry masses. lOath to work, who are getting 30 to 40 rublcS d day in the Red Guard They have no workers among them. great number of tho BOlshevik of ficials steal just like the officials of the CZar's regime. Industry, com mcrCe, tranSpOrtatiOn-eVC is at standstiIl, and there is nothing to eat, That spells failure of the RoI- shcVik &ovCrnmcnt; the BoIsheviks are now doing everything to maintain their power. They obey the Germans and AustriunS to keep themselves in power The Germans however. do not want consolidation of Russia.
 "What will happen in the future. l am unable to tell. The fact is Rssia is ill, pOWcrloSS. IT left to her fate the Germans will obtain full control of her. But the consolidation of Rus sia is possible. That depends entirely on the good will Of the Allies. Rus sia needs effective. firm. friendly help. for today she is, herself. completely helpless.

Police Blame l. ". W. for Death
 Of Four in Chicago ]

Chicago, Sept. 3.Fourteen men were search following the explosion Of q bomb yesterday in the federal build ing which killed four persons, in jured more than 30 others and did considerable property damage.
 we believe we now are close to the persons responsible for the outrage" Acting Divisional Chief Phillip l. Barry of the department of justice said today. We have descriptions from various Witnesses who saw the man believed to have exploded the bomb and these descriptions tally"
 Secret service officers and the police worked on the theory that the expIo- sion was the act of members or sym pathizers of the I. w. w. in revenge for the recent conviction of 93 of their members before Judge Landis.
 The fact that the bomb was placed near a large radiator and close to the wall of the building at the Adams street entrance, is believed to have caused it's force to be expended back ward and downward probably say ing the lives of many who were in the interior of the postOtlicc. The four persons killed were near the Adams street entrance. just outside winch were found the bodies of three of the victims-a girl entering the building, a Great Lakes Jackie, also about to enter. and mail carrier on his WAY to work The fourth victim, mail carrier. was leaving the building. h"v- ing just finished work.
 The Dead.
 Kolkow, Edward R., 65 years old, 94 Weaveland Avenue; Post Office clerk.
 Ladd, J. B., P years old, saIina, Kan; sailor from the Great Lakes Naval Training Station.
 Miehlke Ella, 19 years old, 3,820 South Albany Avenue; sister injurey.
 Wheeler, William H., 45 years old, 6,O1G Praire Avenue; Post OlIice carrier
 The blast was so powerful that it tore down an cighteen-inch wall, hurled tons of debris about and wrought hahvoc in the entire north wing of the building.
 Police and government operatives at once began to work or tne theory that members of the ]. W. w. or some of their anarchist sympathizcrs placed the bomb They gre working on evidence moro tangible than mcrc theory.
 Two men were seen to dash from the scene almost at the moment the explosion occurred. The police have descriDtions of both men.
