WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN
PICARDY, May 23.-There was time,
short while back, when the line Off
GERS and men thought little of the army
medical corps. To-day the corps men,
from the doctors to the 'stretcher bear
ers. have the utmost respect of the en-
tire army
Incidents which for military reasons
cannot be enlarged uron just now have
given the medical corps men their own.
Bravery and devotion to duty are the
terms used in the my citations, and
there has been so much of this on this
warm Picardy front that citations in
the future will fairly bulge with these
words

Private Henry j. Kasper an ambu-
lance driver, who lives at 3A14 West

They rolled the bones and seven came

Press Japan to
Act in Siberia
w The Associatcd pressl

TOXIC. Friday, May 1.-THE mili-
tary agreement between Japan and
CHINA has caused increased attention
to be given the question Of interven-
tlon IN Siberia. 1t is understood that
both Great Britain and France are
actively favoring intervention, the for
mer because of the dangers of the
spread Of German influence, and both
because they are convinced that it
would hasten the winning of the war.
The general staff is ready for any
action that may be ordered. but the
government has not announced it's
decision.
The best opinion here is that inter-
vention is not likely until it is favored
by the United States.

and can be made properly by Russ a.
Probably the danger that food or cloth
ing shipped from this country to Rus
sia for the relief of her suffering peo-
rle will fall into the possession os
Germany is easily exaggerated
The same consideration will keep
food in Russia that keeps it in Holland
and Denmark the dire need of the
people themselves. The government of
the Ukraine was we'll disposed toward
the Central Powers. but the Central
Powers have been able to get little
food out of the Ukraine. The Bolshevik
government would fall quickly if the
people of Russia were to learn that
food had been permitted to get out of
Russia into Germany. On the other
hand. there is grave danger. amounting
almost to q certainty. that the war sup
plies in Russia will go TO Germany
unless this country buys them with
food and clothing. The people can
not eat nor wear war supplies and are

Relief Question
Pending Long Time

Tie question of the relief of Russia
has been pending for long time. It
was discussed By Senator Owen. Sen
ator Borah and other Senators who
visited the President several weeks ago
regarding the Russian situation. The
difficulty all along has not been any
unwillineness on the part of this gov
eminent TO aid the Russian people. but
the chaotic condition in Russia itself.
transportation was disorganized and
this country did not wish to reorganize
transportation if the gamer was likely
TO prove to be Germany. Moreover,
there was doubt as to where the sup
plies themselves would go if they were
sent to Russia
Many plans were urged for safe
guarding the distribution of relief in
Russia to prevent its getting into Ger
man hands. One argument for mill
tary Intervention in Russia or Siberia
was that such an Intervention could
properly accompany material relief to
the Russian people. Another sugges.
ton has been that civil commission
should be sent to Russia, along .w,t
food cloth and industrial aid

1t is understood that the Administra-

military Intervention in Russian terri

abroad indicate that the Allies have

are absolutely against the entrance Of
Russia by the soldiers, whether Of
Japan or of all the Allies They have
made their position clear and in view
of it Mr.. Wilson's position remains un-

With regard to civil Intervention the
Administration attitude is said to be

the most distinguished men in America
have been canvassed quietly as mem
bers of a possible commission to send

government. to clear up her relations
with the enemies of Germany and at
the same time to supervise the distri-
button of aid from this country. The

 Don't Bury Your Bond.

When you and your neighbor have bought your Liberty Bonds. don't take them home and hide them in the cup board. Take them to your country banker and have him give you certifi- cates of deposit for the bonds. Your banker can take these bonds to a Fed eral Reserve bank and borrow money for your use in case you suddenly find yourself in need of funds. Hiding bond is as bad as hoarding money. Keep the bonds and the money in circula ton and the country will pull through this crisis all right.

BUILT BY ORDER OF CAR
City Of Harbin, Railway Center and

Great Flour Center.

The city of Harbin was built to or
der for the one-time czar of all the
Russias, who, in constructing the
Trans Siberian railway, found that he
needed the little village of Harbin as
railway center and military depot.
Only little diplomatic juggling was
required, and the village began to grow
up and expand before the puzzled eyes
Of It's peaceful inhabitants. The new
Harbin did not absorb the old part,
but was. built beside it, so that the
farmers still continue to raise their
millet and wheat untroubled by diplo-
macy and troop maneuvers.
There are few Chinese and almost
no foreigners. in the city. Russia dis
courages alien immigration, and by
agreement with ChinaS only Russians
and Chinese are allowed to hold land,
construct houses or have any perma-
nent business interests in Hardin.
Russian railroad officials and workers
and Russian colonists and troops are
the chief residents of the entire neigh
borhood.

cause of it's position in the level val
ley of the Sungari river, with noun
tains protecting it on east and west.

PET SAVED SOLDIERS LIFE
Effective "First Aid" Rendered by Cat
When Its Owner Was Wounded
During Crimean War.

During the Crimean war a French
soldier was leaving his native village
with his corps, when little cat came
running after him. 1t would not go
back, so he put it on his -knapsack and
carried it along. Day by day, writes
Arthur Broadley in the Evangelical
Messenger, she was perched up thus,
and every night slept by his side.
One day great battle was to be
fought, so the soldier left pussy be-
hind with sick comrade. After he
had gone about mile on the way the
cat came running up to him, so he took
it on his back again. Musket and can
non balls were now flying around.
The soldier fell twice, but at last q
dreadful wound laid him bleeding on
the field.
The cat, instead Of running away,
jumped to the place where the blood
was flowing, and began to lick the
wound. The army doctor came, and
the lad was carried to the hospital
tent.
When he recovered consciousness he
asked whether he would live or not,
and the doctor said: "Yes, thanks to
your pussy; she has used her tongue
well and has stopped the flow OF
blood, otherwise you would have died."
