Siberia, Like America,
Is Cradle of Liberty

Vladfvostok-Siberia, where Ameri-
can soldiers now are fighting along
with soldiers OF the other allied ma
tions, was founded by Dissenters, as
was the United States The Siberians
OF today are descendants Of men who
fed from Russia that they might wor-
ship as conscience dictated. Siberia
was therefore the first cradle Of Rus

out Of Siberia comes the latest and

Dearth of German Oils
Cause of Rail Wrecks

Ansterdam.-Dearth of fats and oils
is noticeable throughout Germany,
due to hot bearings caused by insuffi-

are disappearing. and while money is
plenty, financiers realize that without
large indemnities, Germany will be
insolvent when the war is ended.

Kings affections have been centered
on a native Greek girl, but the gov
ernment fears such a marriage. The
fact that the public has learned OF
these facts through the press shows
that the government is desirous of
