HUN COL LONISTS
 IN RUSSIA ARE
 READY TOLEAVE

Amsterdam, July 30.-"There is not who places the smallest faith in the Russian government. Our minds are made up. If Germany does not pro- tect us with a strong hand there is only one way out, namely to emigrate to the United States or Canada"
 This is the statement of Pastor Jo- names Schleuning who has come to Berlin representing the interests of so-called Wolga Germans a farming colony of seven hundred thousand persons established along that river.
 After the Brest Litovsk peace, SchIeuning returned from three years banishment in Siberia. and made him. self spokesman of two million Ger man settlers spread over different re- gions of Russia.
 According to his statement, the col onists were incorporated in the Rus sian army, first sent to the Russo German front and then some three hundred thousand were transferred to the Caucasus. There they under went terrible sufferings, thousands died, those staying at home had tbeir properties confiscated, were reduced to beggary and the Bolsheviki com pleted their ruin.
 Wolga colonists now ask to be as- sisted back to Germany or permitted to settle in the Baltic provinces Fall ing this they intend to emigrate to America, declares Schleuning, who thus places before the German gov ernment a problem filled with pecu- liar difficulties.

Bonesey and I cuddled up together and talked things over. Three of us were pals already and naturally got together whenever we had a chance and needed a little consolation. But Bonesey, who hadn't been in the some company with us till we got to Boulogne, was a brand-new chum. He seemed to take a liking to us, and after that he was about as hard to lose as a cootie.
 Before long the two Billies fell asleep, but Bonesey was a night owl and it was long time before he stop ped talking and dropped off. As for me, was on the edge of the biggest adventure a boy could ever hope to find and I lay thinking about it half the night, listening to the guns and watching the rockets and the shells against the black sky.
 In the morning the first thing heard was the voice of Billy C1egg saying: .-

Allied to the desire to aid small manufacturers is the wish to have all processes of manufacture ef com pleted article carried out as far as may be in one locality In this way the Resources and Conversion Section hopes to save transportation charges for both labor and materials, to pro- duce goods with greater speed, and to keep the smal Industries of each re- zion supplied with essential work on sub contracts.
 It was pointed out that it is an inn portant function of the Resources and Conversions Section to discourage un- necessary building construction while the war lasts. It is desired to utilize every building available in any way ming new construction.
 It was stated that this request of the War Industries Board might la ter on have to be made mandatory, unless it is generally complied with. It was learned that in order to make up the great shortage of skilled ma chinists and tool makers now existing throughout the country, schools are being established in many of the lar ger plants.
 Great success has been attained by intensive training in the operation of machines especially among women, who are being employed in increas- ingly large numbers, Some of these women operators have learned to con- trol successfully, complicated machin- cry, after a comparatively short pe- l riod of training.
 A final organization of the War Re sources Committee of Region No. ? l was effected at a meeting held at Hartford on July 23rd.
 At that meeting MT, Charles L.. Taylor was elected Chairman of the Committee, and MT. Robert H. -Schutz of the Hartford Sub Region, in place of MT. Taylor. MT, Taylor has open ed officers at No. 252 Asylum Street, Hartford, Connecticut. The Chairman of the other Sub-Regions remain as appointed at the preliminary meet ing.
 It was decided at this meeting that e statement of the functions of the Resources and Conversion Section of the War Industries Board, and an &C., count of the organization effected in the second region for carrying out this work should be published in the daily press throughout the regions at an early date.
 Necessarily there must be local fi- nancing in the regions to pay the ex- penses of the work, for which the War Industries Board has no available ap- propriation. The expenses will not be great, as all the active men connected with the organization, throughout the country are giving their services.
 The details of this phase of the mat ter in the second region are now un- der consideration by the Chairman ot the War Resources Committee of the Region.
 It is absolutely essential to the suc- cessful prosecution of the war that all manufacturing industries, however small, that can be utilized in any way to make war materials, should be used for such purpose to the fullest pos sible extent.
 This organization hopes to be of great service not only to the Govern ment, but to the industries of this re- sion, and desires that all manufactu- rers will endeavor to utilize it's service at all times, so that it may successful ly carry out the purpose for which ii was instituted

work, but capable of undertaking such work. '7t B-Industries only partly employed on war work, but able to increase their production of necessary war ma terials, and
 C-Industries now employed on war work, whose contracts will soon be completed.
 It is desired to enlist the aid of all classes of industries and to bring this about, it is imperative that all indus tries of a given Region should be ask ed to participate, whether they are now members of business organiza- tions or not
 It was made plain that the fullest cooperation not only between the diff ferent industries in each region, but between the region of the country must be developed in order to further the prompt delivery of all materials required for war purposes, Representatives from several of the different Government departments in- cluding the War Department and the Navy Department were in attendance,
  with the Resources and Conversion Section to the fullest extent, by offer ing to MT. Otis complete information as to their requirements.
 MT. Otis is to furnish each Region al Advisor with copies of these re- Quirements, and he in turn Is to call upon his War Resources Committee composed of the Chairman of each | Sub Region for a list of firms in the region capable of doing whatever work is called for,
 This Information will be forwarded immediately by the Regional Advisor to the Chief of Section in Washington It must be understood that this Section has no authority in the matter of allotting work to any special re- zion, nor in the letting of contracts to individuals or firms. It acts merely in an advisory capacity, offering rec concentrations as to where work car be easily and quickly done. It is particularly desired to aid the small manufacturers, and especial ly those not now producing war ma terials, to convert their plants to pur- Voses considered essential in the prosecution of the war. A large num- Der of plants In many sections of the country have already been converted | to war work, and many more such conversions must necessarily takt place. This fact was very strongly emphasized during the meetings held at Washington.
 A partial list of a.. number of sucf firms has already been furnished tc this office. Included in that list are | two or three situated in the second region. The following are example: taken from this list:
 Rathbone Sard Company, Albany N. Y, ordinary product, stoves; Con version to trench mortar cases and powder cases.
 Wilcox & White Co.,, Meriden, Ct. ordinary product, piano cases; con version to boxes.
 Navy Gear Mfg. Co.,, New Haven Conn.,, ordinary product, gears; con version to gun sights, reverce gears

Then I discovered that I had a prickly feeling myself and began to dig for it. All around me the lads were doing the same thing.
 "Straw!" said the sergeant. Why, that ain't straw you blighters have got. It's ceoties.''
 And he was right. We all had them-the little crawlers that get into every soldiers clothes as soon as he gets to the front and stick to him like a loving brother till he bets back to the Blighty. I wonder if Jim Flaw kins had those things. I hadn't count ed on them when I went adventure hunting.
