Washington, Aug. 16.-~The press
ing need for arms and ammunition
by the people of western Siberia,
who have arrayed themselves against
the forces of German and Austrian
prisoners and the German influenced
BOlsheviki, is being considered in the
Allied capitals, according to infor-
nation received today. The answer
of the Allied nations to this appeal
has not been disclosed.
The people of western Siberia,
with the aid Of the Czecho-slovaks
proclaimed their independence on
the United States. They are report
ed to have thousands of we'll l-trained
and loyal troops, who are waiting
only for equipment to begin active
resistance against the Germans.
The people have never accepted the
surrender to Germany under the
Brest treaty and refused to permit
the Bolshevili to ship from this dis
trict millions of tons Of supplies
stored there, bought and paid for by
the German government.
1t is stated that the food supplies
now held in western Siberia would
support an army until the crops
come in netx season. One estimate
Of the foodstuffs now In storage in
this section is 100000 tons Of
wheat. Besides this are tons Of but
ter, cheese and other dairy products
and meat. There are thousands Of
head Of cattle, sheep and horses
carefully held against the Germans
and the Bolshevilki.
Most important of all, however, are
the mines Of the Ural mountains that
the government of western Siberia
controls. These mines produce more
than 80 per cent Of the platinum Of
the world.

Outlook Not Optimistic.

VIadivostok, Tuesday, Aug. 49,
The situation in. western Siberia
leaves no room for optimism, in the
opinion Of the vice president OF the
Russian section Of the Czecho- -SIovak
national council. In statement he
said that Bolshevild mobilization of
Austro- German prisoners of war had
added 10000 men to the enemy
forces. He said it would be impossi-
bic to reach Irkutsk, even under the
most. favorable circumstances, in less
than a month, and that perhaps. two
months would be necessary. -.-..
In the hilly, waterless and sandy
country beyond Irkutsk, the move
ment Of troops would be easier, but
the position Of Czecho- -SIovaks may
become precarious if aid is not
speedily forthcoming. Their numbers
are diminishing, owing to sickness
and impossibility OF renewing sup
plies -....-..... 90 .-,

One of the newest designs is an apron bag, fascinating thing that you can wear around your waist when you are knitting, or draw up in- to bag form when you wish to do so. All the favored materials, and also combinations of shades, are used for these interesting necessities. Bril- liant corals lined with navy blue, pur- pie and red-oh, there are any num- Der of ways and means to colorful combinations.
 Long Lines and Charming Folds.
 Soft folds and long lines delight the eyes in this charming afternoon gown. There is a bit of trimming, very little, to be sure, but present in the braiding design around the simple neck, on the wide sleeves and on the skirt. The dress reminds one of the gracious Grecian ladies, so artistic and so simple it is. Made of smok- gray voile, lined, perhaps with tur- quoise blue, and braided in exactly the right shade of gray, it is perfect ly charming and utterly irresistible.

The reasons for this are obvious since the original purchaser made the purchase for the purpose of adding his bit to the big war fund and pre- venting their getting into other than loyal hands, aside from the effect the bartering in them would produce.
 Only under exceptional conditions should they be sold or exchanged.

G. w. P. HUNT NOW
 REIGNS SUPREME

George W. P. Hunt is now governor of Arizona.
 Acting on the instructions of the mandate of the supreme court, Judge Stanford yesterday gave the decision in the Hunt Campbell gubernatorial contest case, in favor of Mir. Hunt and entered judgment against Thomas E. Campbell for costs in the superior court of Maricopa county of $2,150, plus the supreme court cost of $1,- 972.25.
 While the question may never be raised, there is doubt as to the legal ity of any of the actions of Governor Hunt, since December 25, one month ago, when Governor Campbell gave up the office, which he might have held until 10 o'clock Saturday morn- ing.
 When judgment was entered against Campbell for $4,122.25, the court granted a stay of execution for 15 days. Chairman Maddock, of the state republican central committee, stated that, while Campbell was out of town and he had not had chance to consult with him, there would be an endeavor made by his friends to raise the amount of this judgment, so that he would be out nothing except his years salary for 1917. It is hop ed that this money will be raised within the 15 days allowed by the court.
 A very bitter argument arose be- tween Judge Sloan and MT. Struck meyer, in which the latter claimed that the only reason for the objec- tions to the bill was the intention of Campbell's attorneys to secure news paper publicity tending to influence the court, and for future political purposes.
 MT. Struckmeyer further contended that Counsel for Campbell had tried all through the case, to get matters heard through the press, with the same motive.
 Judge Sloan replied that his objec- tions against Dave Johnson, state treasurer and H. w. Rountree, state examiner taxing Campbell with their salaries as inspectors for Hunt, while they were also enjoying taxpayers money as state officials of Arizona, was manifestly unjust; that the other items in the bill, where more men were charged than worked, was equal ly wrong and that all he was endea- voring to do was to conform the amounts to those allowed in the su- preme courts decision of December 21, and to the provisions of para graph 3069, Revised Statutes, 1913, which limit the amount to the cost of the inspection of ballots before trial.
 Those in Judge Stanford's court, interested in the case, beside the counsel, were Mark Dunbar of the Arizona Corporation Commission; H. w. Rountree, state examiner; Attor- ney Nealon, and Homer R. Wood, chairman of the commission of state institutions, of which Chief Counsel Struckmeyer is a manifestations Republican.
