in Jassy in September. 1917 and did
much good work in alternating condi-
tions in the Rumanian army as well
as among the civilian population.
The peace agreement between the
Russian government and the Central
empires compelled the Rumania gov
eminent to agree to an armistice, one
of the conditions of which was that
all foreign missions leave Rumania.
The Red Cross workers arrived in

The definite demands made by For
eign Minister Tchitcherin were coin
cident with the arrival of Count Won
Mirbach, the German ambassador N
Moscow.
The Bolshevik demands on Ambas-
sador Francis were: First. removal
of John K. Caldwell, American con-
sui in Vladivostok; second, investiga-
ton of his part with the Allied lega-
ton in Picking; and third, the attitude
of the American government toward
the soviet government.
The American embassy, the note
says, carefully scrutinized the docu-
ments submitted by the Russian gov
eminent. In the American viewpoint,
the documents failed to show any con-
nection of American officials in the
plots.
The American embassy, the ambas-
sador continues, interprets the docu-
ments to show only that persons
planning counter revolt contemplate
ed asking the assistance of Consul
Caldwell, Admiral knight, and the
representatives of the Allies in Picking,
including the American minister, but
failed to show that the Americans par
tlcipated in any way. 1t is deemed
unfortunate in the present state of
Russian international relations that
such f1imsy charges should arise.

WOMAN WALKS IS
MILES TO SECURE
THIRD LOAN BONDS

Clearf1eld, Pa, May 6-Mrs. Chas
F. Sloppy lives in the heart of the AL
leghenies, and spends the lonely days
of winter reading the newspapers and
trapping the fur bearing animals
which may still be found in the fast
nesses of the forest. She has been
deeply interested in the progress of
the war, as are all the mountain peo-
pie of Central Pennsylvania, and
when the news of the third Liberty
Loan reached her humble home, she
decided to lend to the government
such money as she had accumulated
from her winters work.
So one morning she walked Is
miles into Clearfie1d, and entering a
bank asked for eleven 500 Liberty
Bonds. These, she explained as the
receipt was being made out, each rep
resented 20 skunk skins. She express
ed her sincere regret that she did not
have the hide of the Kaiser to sell
with those of the other skunks."
Mrs. Sloppy has so traps scattered
through the mountains and she is
usually rewarded with pelts enough
to make her daily round of the traps
well worth while. But her captives
are not always skunks. Occasionally
she gets mink for which the traders
cheerfully pay her s1S, and frequent
ly a weasel which is almost as valua-
ble
Mr.. Sloppy is a ginseng farmer and
he, too, has been able to buy Liberty
