AIM OF ALLIES
IS TO DRIVE HUNS
OUT OF RUSSIA
Statement of Lenine and Trotz-
ky FIatIy Contradicted by
Allied Governments of
Northern Region.
By Associated Press.

Archangel, Aug. ZZ.-An ottlcial an.
nouncement issued today by the al
lied governments in the northern re-
gion of Russia denied the statement
recently made by Lenine and Trotz-
ky that Great Britain, France and the
United States were enemies of Rus
sia. The allied military action, the
announcement added, was aimed at
the expulsion of the Germans from
Russian territory and the suppression
by force of arms of the Brest-Litovsk
treaty. The statement follows:
"Lenine and Trotzky declare that
the British, French and Americans
who disembarked at Archangel are
brigands and they call upon the Rus-
sian proletariat to fight against them
as enemies of Russia who attacked
her without, declaration of war.
Are Allies of Russia.
1--WE declare to all Russian citi-
zens for whom, the welfare of Russia
is dear, that this is not true. The
British, French and Americans at
Archangel are the allies of Russia.
They were invited to make landing
here by the legitimate government
and with the complete and unanimous
agreement on the part of the popu-
lation.
The government of the northern
region is composed of members OF
the constituent assembly which was
elected by the whole people Of the
northern border, which comprises also
representatives of the Zemstvos and
municipalities elected by universal
suffrage.
Aimed at German Expulsion. =
This government had been formed
and was overturned by the iliegiti-
mate bolsheviki government before
the descent of the allies. 1t was
formed on the initiative of the league
for the regeneration of Russia, which
reunites representatives of all po-
litical parties, recognizing the con-
stituent assembly as the only rightful
Russian government.
"The allies then were called to
Russia by the only legitimate and
representative authority for the pur-
pose of military action in common,
aiming at the expulsion of the Ger
mans and the complete suppression
by force of arms of the Brest-Litovsk
treaty traitorously signed by the boil
sheviki. But they were called on the
distinctly specified condition that
they must not mix themselves in the
affairs of the government of
Russia"

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. 25-(Spe-

than ever in Ak-Sar-Ben festivities
this year. The big Allied War ex-
hibit, which has been presented
in San Francisco and Los Angeles,
will be shown at the Auditorium the
week of September 80 and will be the
leading attraction. Patriotic pageants

ing OF Wednesday, October 2. If the
present number of troops is main
tanned at Fort Omaha and Fort Crook,
a military parade will be held on the
afternoon of Thursday, October
Gus Renze, official Ak-Sar-Ben arti-
fcer, is now working on a large num-
Der OF foa.s for the electrical parade.

in this line. Brilliant light effects and
a large number of floats will make
the parade more dazzling than ever.

ELIMINATION Of
CHARITY PLANNED
Kansas Town Puts i'm Operation Pro-
ject to Place Every One on Self
Supporting Basis.

Topeka. Kan.---Kansas is watching
with great interest an experiment
being carried on this winter by the
city Of Emporia. This school town.
the home of a state normal and a large
UNCONVENTIONAL school, has undertaken
tho elimination Of charity" and the
exploitation OF the poor
The city and county have created a
central welfare bureau, composed OF
a city and a county official and few
men and women of the city generally
This bureau has charge of all the
charitable activities of the city.
Last spring this bureau hunted up
all Of the vacant lots and the vacant
land around the town. 1t was all
leased by the board Then a list of
those who had sought assistance last
winter was made up and TO each
family was assigned certain land for
gardening The seed was furnished.
tools were furnished and instruction
was supplied where needed. The area
assigned each family was practically
sufficient that with good care would
produce the greater part of the vege~
tables which would be used by that
family during the coming winter
municipal coal and wood yard is
being established. where men may
work and receive a part of their pay
in wood or coal and part In cash 1t
will be maintained all winter.
Emporia does not expect to be called
upon for a single dollars worth of
food or fuel during the coming winter
II ii is not called upon the plan will be
considered a success, for it is argued
that il will have eliminated charity
from the town to the greatest possible
extent and will have established every
ane on an aerual supporting basis.
The bureau has gone into the HON es
and established the budget system Of
homes expenses. 1t has given instruc-
ton against waste and extravaganza
in the home. 1t has furnished help in
the making and repairing of clothing
and many other things of wide benefit.

mand Of Lanterns.n

Among the Chinese there has exist
ed for ages passion for fireworks and
lanterns. In every city, at every port
and on every river and canal, as soon
as night comes on. the lanterns make
their appearance. They are hung out
at the door OF every dwelling; they
swing as pendants to the angles of the
pagoda; they form the fiery crown OF
every shop front: they cluster round
the houses Of the rich and light up
the novels Of the poor; they are borne
with the carriage Of the traveller. and
they swing from the yards and masts
of his vessel.

top Williams, comptroller of the cur
rency.
