Government in Power. Year

The present government OF Costa
Rica came into power in consequence
of a revolution in January of last year,
when President Gonzalez was over
thrown by Gen. Tinoco. The United
States has not recognized the Tinoco
government. There have been several
reports in the last few months OF
threats to overthrow the government.
Former President Gonzalez and Ger
mans in Costa Rica and the United
States are said to have been concerned
in the scheme of this sort which was
discovered by Costa Rican authorities
last May. The growth of the German
influence in the Gonzalez government
was said to have been largely respon-
sible for the revolution. After Tinoco
became president Costa RIGA severed
relations with Germany.

Russian Famine
GrooOing Worse
Says Refugee
(Rv Associated Press.)

Stockholm, Sunday, Oct. 6.-Rus-
sia's food situation is rapidly grow
ing worse, especially in Petrograd
and Moscow, where the population is
subsisting chiefly on the potatoes
which should be saved for the winter.
Henry A. Laehrs, an American en-
gineer and manufacturer, who has
lived for, rcany years in MOSCOW, ar
rived in Stockholm today with his
family, having made the trip" via
Finland in ten days. Mr.. Laehrs
says the food situation in Petrograd
Is far worse than in Moscow. The
soviet in Petrograd has closed all
markets and shops and will not al
low any food to be sold privately.
1t actually is trying, according to
Mr.. Laehrs, to put in effect it's long
discussed plan of compelling all per-
sons to eat in government restaur-
ants.
Petrograd and Moscow are becoms
ing more deserted daily. All the
Russians who are able to leave are
proceeding to the Crimea and the
Ukraine. Travellers are not permitted
to take baggage from Soviet Russia
Mr.. Laehrs says arrests of Rus
SLAMS charged with attempts at coun.
ter revolutions continue. to be made
in both Petrograd and Moscow. The
soviet is taking over the better
houses and apartments together with
all their furniture and the clothing
OF the people. . .s ~.

are not of the best. It has proved
an efficient method of controlling the
spread of diseases in hospitals and
among those directly exposed If care
fully used.
This morning a large number of
small boys applied at the surgical
dressings department of the Red
Cross for face masks. They evidently
considered that what was good for
the soldiers was good for them. Their
request was denied. The soldiers In
training at the agricultural college
are all wearing the masks as a pre-
cautionary measure but they are liv-
ing. and working and sleeping in close
proximity and it is a measure that
they assist in controlling the spread
of the disease.
The Red Cross mask is made of
eight thicknesses OF gauze folded to
a size of 8x6 inches. Tapes are fast
ened in the four corners for the pur-
pose of fastening 1t in place. Any
clean piece Of muslin may be used
and any one who desires a mask may
make one at home. The Fargo branch
is supplying the Agricultural college
where 1000 have been sent and also
such business concerns as desire to
provide them for their employees to
help prevent the spread of the dis
ease. But others are urged to make
their own.
The work in the Red Cross depart
ments has also been affected by the
epidemic throughout the city. The
October allotment for the surgical
dressings has been received and it is
large and every possible worker is
urged to continue to give as much
time as possible. The order for the
5000 gauze masks has been complet-
ed and sent to the headquarters at
Minneapolis.
