AID TO RUSSIA
President Will Direct War
Trade Board Actions.
Inter-Allied Support for Russ
People Near.

Washington, Oct. 17.-At the direc-
ton of President Wilson economic aid
will be extended to Russia thru the
agency of the war trade board, it was
learned today. This policy is the out
come of the inter allied determination
to support the military movement of
the Czecho-Slo in Siberia, broad
ened to rehabilitate sections of Rus
STA friendly to the allies and re-estab-
fish the eastern front.
The war trade board will govern ex-
ports of foodstuffs, clothing, farm ma
chinery and other supplies needed in
Russia to effect such rehabilitation. In
the end it is the hope that a new
Russian military system can be built
up which will force the Germans out
Of the occupied territory and result in
the remuneration of the Brest-Litovsk
treaty.
The movement of supplies, It is
stated, will be via both <Archangel on
the Thurman coast and Nladivostok on
the Siberian Pacific coast.
Agreement on this is understood to
have been accomplished thru the joint
efforts of the allied missions in Ameri-
ca. Notices have been sent to a num-
Der of American export and importing
firmSa dvising them that the war trade
| board is authorized to issue certain ex-
port licenses.
Inasmuch as American and allied
troops are established in Siberia and
| in the Thurman coast section, there is
no fear that materials shipped may
get into the hands of the Bolsheviili or
| the Germans.
It is stated that economic aid is
| the first necessity in establishment
| of Russian faith in the allies and in
generating anew the military situation
| to Gust the Germans and force the Boil
| sheviki to submit to the maintenance
of a general satisfactory rule of law
| and order.

noon hour for the girls employed in
some of the large establishments down
town. A great many girls who work
down town do not have time to go
home during the lunch hour, and the
plan is to invite them to the Y. w. C.

their lunch, if they carry their noon
meal with them from home. There
they can get hot coffee to drink with
their cold lunches.
Games will be provided and various
kinds of entertainment furnished, and
later, if the girls wish it, they will
probably be given an opportunity for
dancing in the club rooms. At present
many of the employed girls have no
place to go outside of their offices and
shops during the hour or hour and a

OF Notre Dame. and a member of
the four mile relay team which last
week finished second at the Drake
relay games in Des Moines, left yes
terday for. his home in Lafayette,
from whence he will go to Camp
Zachary Taylor on April %.
This was Murphy's first season of
competition at NOtre Dame. but
under the tutelage of Coach ROckne
he developed rapidly. He ran in the
Michigan and Illinois indoor meets,
also in the two relay carnivals at
Illinois and at Drake. Murphy's
best bit of running was in the mile
race against Michigan at the end of
the indoor season.
At Drake last Saturday Murphy
ran a plucky race considering the
elements. His time compared well
with the other members of the team.
1t is fortunate for Notre Dame that
he was not called 70 the service last
week instead Of this, for that would
have seriously impaired the strength
