Aside from these four causes
of delay the only reason for
the failure of relatives to re-
ceive word at once is military
consideration. Gen. Pershing
may, at his discretion, with
hold a casualty list until he is
positive it will have no military
value to the enemy.

Palestine as a part Of the British army,
be did not at first glance conform to ones
ideas of what fighting idealist should
be.
he was in fact very unimpressive. for
his figure is short and slight and his face
very boyish and not of the militant type
as we used to conceive it before the war
taught us that first class fighting man
also may be of high brow and gentle
appearance. His expression is smiling
and pleasant and be wears a very old uni
form dingy with much service and mend
ed in a number of places.
But on the breast of his worn soldiers
blouse there CLEANS the cross Of ST.
George, the highest medal for vaIor
awarded to a Russian soldier. Only a
soldier in the ranks may WIN it, and it is
higher than any medal awarded to an
officer.
This insignificant, small Jewish boy.
who appears SO little of the militant ideal
list, has in fact cherished some of the
most glorious dreams that ever were
known TO men. For them he has fought
for two and a half years in the Russian
trenches and, since it appeared to him
that there was no longer an opportunity
to fight for them in Russia, he has set
put on his travels around the world to
find a place where he can give his life
for the advancement of liberty and de-
mocracy for all men, and for the exten-
sion of justice to the Jewish race.
He feels that he has found this place in
the Jewish Battalion, and in his own
words be is very grateful to the British
government for the opportunity to spill
his blood on the sands Of Palestine, the
home of his ancestors"

There are plentiful chances
for adventure these days with
out going into the moonshine
business.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1918-06-18
WHY?

O. ONE anti prohibitionists
like to spread forth the
impression that in a dry
state moonshiner plants be-
come as thick as the leaves on
a tree and that it is no trouble
for law violator to avoid de-
lection. But the successful
raid of Sheriff Taylor, Captain
Williams and others on the
plant on upper Butter creek
does not bear out their theory.
The captured plant was locat-
ed far out in the wilds, almost
inaccessible even on foot and
screened from view. Yet it
had been operating only two
weeks until a vigilant sheriff
was upon it. If it is such an
easy thing to manufacture ILL
cit whiskey in a dry state why
is it that men go so far into the
wilderness to set up their stills
and if so easy to avoid arrest
why do moonshiners keep an
armed guard to watch against
surprise? 1t might also be
appropriate to ask why, if vio-
lations of the law are so easy,
the price of whiskey remains so
high and why it is so few drunk
men are to be found these days.

He was gassed, shell shocked and
wounded, but that which he describes as
the most terrible of all that he had to
undergo was hunger.
''That was 50 terrible with me and with
many other soldiers" he explained, that
my body, my legs and arms have been
swollen to three times their natural size.
1t was either hunger or bad food most
of the time when we were under the
treacherous command Of those German
spies who were passing themselves off az
Russian officers.

Some idea of the treachery or indif-
ference of our generals, our Minister Of
War and other officials who had to do
with provisioning and equipping the army
can be gotten from the fact that we we're
at first given only five or six cartridges
a day. This went on for year beforel
Kerensky came in. When Kerensky wasi
at the head Of the government we were
given 2jO cartridges a day. and We were
also given proper equipment new uni
forms md everything we needed. Even
the food was improved.
But before Kerensky came IN, be-
cause we were 50 short Of ammunition
and equipment always. We fought with '

With axes, and in the Carpathians fought {

lcasiOn when the Germans had captured
our outpost and cut us off from IT, rest
of our line, getting around back of u.s.
German sentries were posted along a line
running from the German lines and be-
tween our section of the Russian line
which had been cut off and the rest of the
Russian forces. 1t was necessary that
we re-establish communications with the
other end Of our line and my commanding
officer assigned me to carry a message TO
the superior officer in charge. To do this
it was necessary for me to get through
the German sentry line. This did crawl
ling on my stomach over the Russian No
Mans Land. 1t took great caution to
accomplish this, and it was also said that
it required courage to persevere in the
task. As l was successful in my mission
I was given the cross.
"When the revolution was declared We
we're all very happy because we believed
that at last we should have liberty,
greater opportunities Of happiness for
every onea and freedom from persecution
and equal rights for the Jews. The regi-
ment to which belonged. the Fifty-third
Volynske Of the Fourteenth division, was
the first to support the revolution and !
was one of four men to raise the rel
revolutionary flag.
"The soldiers of Russia considered Ker-
ensky a champion Of the Russian cause.
And most of them still consider him so.
II is not true that Kereusky sold Russia.
I and most Russian soldiers would will
ingIy fight for Kerensky at any time. He
worked like a fanatic to make the revo-
luton a success. He became i'll from
hard work. Whatever anybody says about
Kerensky do not believe that he ever sold
Russia. He Immediately made everything
very much better for the men In the army
as / have said, and warned US that we
carried our rifles in. our right hands and
democracy in the left and If we threw
iown our rifles we would lose the revolu-
ion.

in favor Of the white death.
II is not unusual for dogs 70 go back
to their wild ancestors and run with
the pack. A miner told me that he
lost husky and five years later i
was shot from a bunch Of wolves that
was proving around caribo that had
been killed. He knew the dog from its
particular marking. II had gone TO
the wild bunch and became one Of
them.
A successful dog driver must be
boss from the start; he must rule with
an iron hand and a keen lash, while
at the same time he must know how TO
coax as well as beat. When a dog
once realizes the driver is boss, he will
not give much trouble, and II the boss
has discrimination enough to both
whip and pet at the right time, he will
soon have a team that will face almost
anything and seldom balk.

CUT YOUR WOOD NOW
State Fuel Commissioner Says Next
Winter the Situation viii be Worse

DNetDicNi
TO Members of Local Fuel Commit.
tees,
Dear Sirs:
As supplement to Instructions
No. issued November 1st, | desire to
call your attention again to the fact
that it will be extremely difficult for
Vermont to obtain coal for heating
purposes next season. Therefore it is
incumbent upon each local fuel COM
mittee at once to address itself to the
problem Of local fuel supply. In or
der to solve this problem two methods
should be employed
/. CONSERVATION. So far as
possible every coal-using family
should be urged to save coal in all
ways possible, such as careful watch
and regulation Of furnace, avoidance
of temperature in rooms above that
necessary for comfort and health,
shutting off heat from all unused
rooms, closing registers when airing
rooms, keeping doors closed, drawing
shades at night, and putting up storm
doors and windows. All coal thus
saved will help the fuel situation just
so much next year.
2. PRODUCTION. Every COM
munity that can so do should establish
a community wood yard through local
cooperation; otherwise the local fuel
committee should exercise itself in
urging each family to provide for q
supply of wood. The greatest hind
rance in the production of wood
supply is the inability of the farmers
to procure help. Chopping is an art,
and it cannot be acquired at once. AL
though village men and boys can not
accomplish much in chopping, they
can be proftably employed in saving,
in cutting limbs and in hauling.
Wherever there are broken or fallen
trees that are available for fuel, farm
ers should be encouraged to allow the
village people, at small price, to
work up this material into fuel. There
is also considerable amount of
small growth beside the highways
that can be cut for fuel and with an
to the road.
Whatever can be done toward Sc
curing supply should be done and
each local fuel committee is earnestly
requested to take measures to meet
the fuel demands Of next year.
Make the slogan "CUT-A-CORD" a
reality in your town.
Respectfully yours,
H. J. M. JONES,
VT Fuel Commissioner.

FIRE DESTROYS
HOTEL BARDWELL
Guests Driven Into Atmosphere 26

Guests Driven Into Atmosphere 26
Below Zero. Loss s12J,0 900.
Rutland, Dec. 30--The main part Of
the Hotel Bardwell was destroyed by
fire this morning, the loss beirg es-
timatc1 at $125,0O0. The blaze was
discovered at $50 a. m. and the 30
guests of TIE house were hastily sum
moned from their beds, forced to pack
up their belongings in hurry and
rushed into the street where they en-
countered g temperature Of 26 degrees
below zero.
The fire started from an overheated
furnace fue and quickly spread to ths
roof and then followed partitions all
over the building. The low temper
ature made the work Of the firemen
ineffective as hose froze and burst
within few feet Of the flames. The
suffering of the men was intense even
with repeated cups Of hot coffee and
dry outerclothing being furnished by
local merchants.
The flames were confined TO the five
story brick hotel which adjoins the
Masonic temple and the Baxter Ma
tional bank. The walls are still stand
ing tonight under tons Of ice, but the
entire interior except the north wing
is in ruins. Most of the furnishings
went up in flames. Ladders and other
apparatus are frozen fast against the
walls under heavy ice and it will be
some days before they can be recover
ed. None Of the guests was injured.
but Edward Blanchard, a fireman,
fractured hip when floor gave way
under him and he fell two stories. He
was taken to the hospital in serious
condition.
The Bardwcll was built In 1851 by
Otis Bardwell. 1t has had many own
ers since. Two years ago the Rutland
Hotel Company took it over and spent
100000 in undermining II. Among
those interested in the company are
John N. Woodfn Of Rutland, John J.
Flynn Of Burlington, and J. c. Flynn
Of Dorset. The property was veli in
sured.
