TRoTzkY DENIES RuMoRs.

MOSCOW, Thursday, March 21- (By Associated Press. )-Rumors that Austrian and German prisoners of war have occupied the trans-Siberian r2iI- way are characterized as falsehood in a dispatch received by Leon Trot- zky, the Tolsheviki foreign minister. in response to inquiries made of the representatives of the Bolshevik conI- missaries at Irkutsk.
 Under NJ. TrotZky's instructions, d. rect telegraphic communication has been established with M Strembers. commissioner of military affairs. ane NJ Jansen, president of the central executive council of the all-Russiar soviet. both of whom are at Irkutsk.
 Replying to questions concerning re ports relative to prisoners they said:
 "Rumors about the occupation Or Siberian railways by German ana Austrian prisoners of war are aOso- lutely falsehcods. Prisoners of war. not armed, are grouped all along the Siberian railway line and guarded by armed patrols. We protest aeainst the spreading of deliberately false rI- mors by foreign representatives who further complicate the Russian situa- tion.
 It is reported from Blagoviestchensk that during an uprising of the white guards there the members of this force fired unon the hinese in the city and attempted to create dissension be- tween the Bolsheviki and the Chinese but fled when the red guard entered the city. The Chinese population is friendly to the Bolsheviki.

Music in Prisons.

In q paper read before Il convention
Of music teachers. the musical direc-
tor of well-known prison said that
the band and orchestra maintained in
the institution with which he was con
nected was as important a part Of the
prison life as any Of the industries
which contributed TO make the prison

The mayor of an important middle
Western city snid not long ago: "AIu-

unnecessary to defend the usefulness

VELOCITY OF BIG SHELLS

Time Is Required for Stone to
Fall 70 Center Of Earth.

Studying the velocity of shells and
bullets fired in the war led Maurice
SAUCER, a French geometer, to turn
to the old question of the time II
would take a stone to fall to the center
Of the earth. His conclusion was that
it would take about 20 minutes "a sec.

Gassenddi, who gave the subject
much thought in the last century, made
the time 20 minutes even. Mersenna
on the other hand contended that six
hours would be required

zeal and pertinaCity which become

his grave smile, insisted that he was

sure to rush out with a thump here

"NO. thank yOu,' was the laughing
reply as they stepped aboard the car.
1t was well filled. Across from the
friends sat two good-looking women,
evidently mother and daughter. Next
to the younger woman sat a sweet
faced Salvation Army girl, with her
tambOurine in her lap. Her plain
dark blue dress was in marked con-

beautiful furs of the ladies beside her.
Suddenly the younger of the two
turned and spoke TO her. She smil-
ingly responded and shook her head,
but as the other continued to urge a
wistful look came into the Army girls
face as she glanced about the ear.
NO, no. they heard her say; tine

rules are very strict" she added In
explanation. For 4 moment or so
there was silence. and over the faces
of both showed disappointment.
Then suddenly the younger woman,
with the color suffusing her lovely
face, caught up the tambOurine and,
depositing a coin in it. started down
the car, ignoring the shocked and ex-
pOstulating Nancy" and the detain-
ing hand of her astOniShed companion.
Passing from passenger to passenger,
she extended the tambOurine. always

You SO much"
She passed on to her seat and re-
turned to its owner the tambourine,
that never before had received cOntri-

bestowed.
