in volume for q number of years.
The Crimean war interrupted Eng
lish trade with Russia, but when the
conflict was over the British traders
returned to Odessa. It was at this pc
Rod that they were forced to divide the
trade with Germany, for German
shippers had seized the opportunity to
gain a foothold in the port.
The war offers just now an odd par
allel of that war of trade waged 60
years ago. It may be Of significance
to recall that the ultimate result Of
the Anglo German contest for Russia's
Odessa trade was that the Jews gain
ed absolute control of the exporting
business of the city.
Bloody Revolution In 1905.
In 1905 Odessa was the scene of a
violent revolution. The Russian navN.
mutinied and trained the big guns of
the warship in the harbor on the city.
The disorders were quelled by the
cars military forces, but not before
there was bloodshed and suffering
which centered the worlds attention
on the city.
Odessa before the war was proud
Of it's beautiful parks and boulevards.
The refuge of many French mobiles In
the time of the French revolution, the
streets are evidence of the fact, for
they bear names reminiscent of roy
atty of France. The main thorough:
fare, however, is the Street of the
TRANSPORTATION, which begins at the
magnificent cathedral and ends ut the
gate of the consecrated ground of the
Orthodox Greek cemetery.
The population Is largely Tartar, on
which has been grated Slav, Teuton,
Morse, Finnish and Lettish stock, but
at the beginning of the war it was
said to be still Tartar in the main. Cat
acombs extending under the rich city
and it's beautiful suburbs through va
rious periods of Odessa's career have
housed the miserably poor, and at
times the underground inhabitants
have numbered as many as $4,000.

DESSA, the Russian seaport,
captured by the Germans not
long ago, has been widely
known as an important center
of shipping and commerce, but Its
interest does not lie so much In Its
great locked harbor, it's fine churches
and public buildings, it's factories or
it's size-t had half a million people
at the beginning Of the war-as In
the fact that century and quarter
ago there was none of these In exist
ence.
New York, Boston, Baltimore and
Philadelphia are cities almost ancient
in comparison with Odessa. Odessa is
a sort of Chicago or Kansas City OF
Europe-a new town." in. the Ian
guage of the West. Just as there were
Indian trading posts where Chicago
and Kansas City had their beginnings,
so there was wretched little Turkish
village on the future site Of Odessa In
the time Of Catherine the Great of
Russia. Russia saw the possibilities
of port on the Black sea and reached
out and took it, with little or no pro-
test, for Hdjl Bey, as the Turkish viii
lage was called, was not worth quarrel
ing about. Catherine founded Odessa
by rescript in 1904 and the ''booming"
of the new city began.
Grain Built the City.
The Russian "pioneers" built their
town on the plateau which forms a ter
race from 100 to $50 feet above the
water front. Today great staircase,
which is one of the wonders of Odessa,
leads up in broken flights from the
harbor to the city proper. Located at
the northwest angle of the Black sea,
midway between the estuaries Of the
great Dnieper and Dniester rivers,
Odessa was the natural commercial
outlet for the vast stretches of grain
producing valleys beyond and its
growth was like that of the Western
trade centers in America. The Eng
lish ships found their way there to load
their holds with grain, and exporting,
as the years went by, grew steadily

Publicity Agent

Manager Simpson announces the appointment of Arthur B. Grindell, we'll known newspaper man in Se- attle, as Director of Publicity for the Northwestern Division of the American Red Cross.
 MT. Grindell has assumed his du- ties and will at once set about CO., ordinating and unifying the publicity work of the Division. Several num- bers of the new Division Red Cross Bulletin have already made their ap- pearance, and give promise of fill ing an important place in the activi- ties of the various chapters.
 Explains the Work
 Owing to repeated requests made to the Red Cross to handle particu- lar shipments for particular individ- uals, Manager Stimson of the North west Division has found it advisable to issue to chapters the following letter, which speaks for itself: '"To all chapters of the Northwestern
 Division:
 "As we are continually being ask ed if the Red Cross can handle shipments to designated consignees in France, we think it advisable to notify all chapters fully in this re- gard.
 For many reasons. which include transportation difficulties both trans atlantic and in France, the Red Cross cannot, at least during the present crisis, accept shipments for desig mated consignees in France other than those organizations with which we have made cooperative arrange. ments to distribute supplies under the direction of the Red Cross, thus becoming a part of the Red Cross organization and obviating the pos sibility of duplication and wasted effort.
 Such cooperative arrangements in France have been made with the fol lowing organizations:

SPOKANE LAND BANK IS EXPECTED TO
 BE SELF-SUSTAINING

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. 3.-Loans made by the Spokane Land Bank to date total about $5,500,000. Loans were not made during the first two or three months of the banks exis- tance, as the time was devoted to organization work It is expected that the loans made during Decem- Der will total $2000,000. The bank has been organized for eight months
 Salaries and other expenses of the bank for the first year of it's existance will be about $120,000, &C., cording to estimates of officials, who figure that the earnings in that time will not be more than S15,000. Daniel G. OShea, president of the bank, says however, that the insti- tuition eventually will be self sustain ing, although not for a long time.

BIG WIRELESS
 WEAPON IN USE
 AGAINST KAISER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. The United States Is using a new and subtle weapon in warning against Germany propaganda of the truth.
 Nightly, there is battle in the air-a struggle of huge wireless ap- paratus, centering at Sayville, l.. l., Nauen, Germany, and at Lyons France, while at the same time cables buzz with messages intend cd for foreign consumption.
 Formerly, it was the Nauen sta tion that spread misleading propa- ganda as to Teuton purposes. Now, the SayvilIe station under American control is shooting for truthful messages to offset this insidious matter, sending to France for re- lay to Russia and elsewhere.
 Finding that Germany was out maneuvering all the allies and the United States in malicious propa- ganda, this government determined on a definite campaign of educa- tion, and to date has labored chiefly in converting Russia, Rumania, Au- stria and Switzerland to America $ side.
 Perhaps the most startling at tempt of any-though not so la beled-was the Presidents message to Congress. In this, the President sought to wean Austria from the German side, as officials viewed it, while at the same time he appealed to German Liberals to overturn Hohenzollernism.

ARE PLANNING TO REBUILD
 HUMAN WRECKS
EIks Plan Has Been Ac- cepted by the Gov- ernment for Hos
 pitaI Building.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-America 5 first great hospital for the recon struction of wounded men was ac- cepted today by the government from the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. The hospital ouild- ings will be erected on Parker Hill, near the Robert Brigham Hospital, in Boston, at cost of $250.O00. The money was taken from the Elks' $1,O0O,0OO war relief fund.
 With American wounded being ac- tually carried back from the fighting front, Surgeon General Gorgas' of flee, declared itself equipped and ready to rebuild human wreckage into able bodied men.
 String of Hospitals
 A string of reclamation hospitals extends from the French lines to the shores of this country. Every de- vice and resource known to science is at hand to rebuild nearly every part of the human frame. Men with half their faces shot away by shrapnel will get new jawbones from their ribs and new noses and new cheeks from the cartilage and other tissues on other parts of their bodies
 The Surgeon Generals staff be- lieves the value of this service to America cannot be estimated. Thou sands of men who would be wrecks without proper treatment will be sent back to the fighting, and others will be rebuilt and taught trades that will make them economic as- sets instead of liabilities. Even a man deaf, dumb and blinded and paralyzed from the waist down will be taught trade at which he can work.
 For the Totally Disabled
 Plans are being completed for a big base hospital in this country where all totally disabled men will be sent after the European hospit- als have done all they can for them. In this hospital additional efforts will be made to improve their con dition.
 In re-educating the deaf. dumb, or blind they will be sent to pri- vate institutions at Government ex pense. Those desiring technical training will be sent to techncal schools. Other will be trained for civil service, agricultural work, or whatever they choose.
 Gen. Gorgas's idea is to build few hospitals in this country exclusively for this reclamation work. The greater part of such surgery will be done just behind the lines.

 Therefore, any shipments of stand ard supplies offered for the above named organizations may be accept ed and forwarded to warehouses for export by the Red Cross.
 "As we are at present unable to obtain sufficient transportation and other accommodations for the hand ling of our own vitally needed goods ordered by our foreign commissions we cannot accept shipments to des- gnated invididasls other than those organizations listed above.
 Our inability to accept such ship ments does not mean, of course, that they cannot be sent to France, as there are regular shipping channels open to everyone, although possibly somewhat limited at this time.
 Tt is much to be desired that those offering shipments of supplies through the Red Cross for designated hospitals, orphanages, etc, in France should turn their contributions over to the Red Cross to be distributed at it's discretion; and write to their hospital or orphanage in France to make application to the American Red Cross for France and Belgium in Paris for a supply of needed arti- cles
 We cannot too strongly urge sin cere and sympathetic cooperation of everyone in the Red Cross in explain ing this situation fully to inquirers.
