DOGS, CATS AND AUTOS
JOIN THE RED. CROSS

SPOKANE-The Spokane chapter Of
the Red Cross carries on it's member
ship roll two Angora cats and a bull
dog. Likewise, it numbers among its
supports an automobile.
The two Angora cats joined because
all the other members of the family
of Thaddeus S. Lane already were af-
filiated with the Red Cross, and Mrs.
Lane wished to aid further the mem
bership campaign. The bulldog, which
belongs to Mrs. John Huns, was given
a membership because of the good
work being done by Red Cross dogs on
the western front, it's mistress said.
AS for the automobile, it's owner
signed up for it when his excuse that
all the members Of his family already
had joined the Red Cross was not ac-

PROBLEMS ON CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA

O.
The Associated Press)-The Birshe-
vaya Vyedomosti INDUCES in sarcastic
raillery at prevailing conditions BY
propounding a number of problems III
the form of arithmetical exercises
Here is one of the problems:
"In the city of A the public prose
cutor, B, arrested the suspicious in
dividual G. On the following day the
Bolsheviki D arrested the prosecutor,
for which D was in turn arrested by
the temporary government commits
sioner E. Thereupon F, the chairman
Of the revolutionary committee, ar
ested E. How far down the alphabet
will the arrests reach in "a hours, and
how long will it be before persons
whose names begin with x and 2 are
arrested?
Another is: "a Bolsheviki delegate
departs from the city of A to attend a
democratic conference. A Menshevik
delegate leaves the city B at the same
time to attend the same conference.
When will these delegates start pulling

each others hair and how many res
olutions will they propose?
Following are others of the satrical
propositions propounded:
AN internationalist, writes for a
newspaper and receives 1000 roubles
for each article. How many deliberate
ly false reasons for immediate peace
must be present, If every such a
is paid for at the rate of five marks
apiece, assuming that five marks equal
eight roubles and 40 copecks"?
"A democratic conference progresses
at the rate of 1923 resolutions per hour,
while the Germans advance at the rate
Of only 10 versts a day. Which of the
warlike masses will first reach its
goal"?
There are 5000 casks of brandy in
the depot at A, and the city's garrison
has 10000 troops, all t~eetotallers. How
long will it take the t%eetotallers to
drink up all the liquor, and how long
will it be after that before the munic-
decides to destroy all alcoholic
drinks?

Dear Chapter: We have been quar-
antined for the last 16 days and to-
day have five more added on to that.
We have had a stamp famine in our
barracks. This has been relieved in
the last few days.
This is enough, I believe, to ex-
cuse me for not returning my thanks
for the Red Cross bag, containing
many useful articles for a soldier.
I also received a Xmas bag OF
candies. The most of these contained
the names of the individuals, who
have written words of cheer, which
the boys have enjoyed answering.
I extend my thanks to each and eve
ry one of the Moscow chapter and
know that they are doing more than
their share in helping their Soldler
boys win the war.
My company's (Caisson No. u work

lery. We are back of the trenches,
