Siberia, the immense territory up
on which the Germans are believed
TO have set their eyes, comprises a
much larger area than the United
States. Many persons have consid-
cred the country as glacial desert,
and place only for the punishment
of the northern part of the territory,
but the largest part of Siberia is a
land with immense commercial pros
poets. Gold and silver mines, al
most inexhaustibe, are there. The
soil of large part of the province
possesses marvellous productivity.
