Workmen, the traveller says, COM
pose less than 10 per cent of the
population of Russia. Consequently,
the assumption of spokesmen OF rad
ical labor circles to socialize Russia
was more chimerical than it would
be in highly industrialized country.
Russia is an unorganized primitive
agricultural country; 90 per cent of
its peasants possess property which
falls within the confiscation lines
as defined by Lenine. Siberia and
other undeveloped farming sections
OF Russian domain offer exceptional
opportunities to industrious settlers
and there every man stands or falls
according to his own industry and
merit. Such districts, 1t is stated,
feel no need for efforts at socraliza-
ton and were the first to resent the
domination OF representatives of the
Lenine government.
Insults offered by the travelling
commissars and their armed bands
have aroused the antagonism of
Christian organizations. including
the Russian orthodox church, 1t is
asserted that few of the agitators
from America are American citizens
Almost without exception they are

More than four hundred OF these
locomotives were so shipped from
New York In few months, II was

these were in addition to 1900 which
were shipped In sections-nine TO a

ships used TO transport the locomo-
tiyes. complete, were OF a special
type with three holds, each hold
measuring GO by 1872 feet entered
by matches 80 feet wide and AZ
feet long.
Into each OF the three holds was
placed II locomotiyes-36 to n ship,
For bed or flooring on which they
rested for the voyage, was used
more than 5000 tons of steel rails.
The locomotives when in position
were braced with heavy wooden
beams and the space between the
boilers to the level of the top of the
steam dome packed solid with high
ly compressed baled hay,
On this hay another flooring was
laid. and on this floor was placed
the tenders-the smoke stack, with
more baled hay or other light cargo,
packed in the space where coal Is to
be carried. On top Of the tenders
was packed still more cargo to the

London, Dec. 2S.-The Bolshevik
government in Russia is described
by man who recently returned from
that country as IA carpetbag govern
ment of the most flagrant sort"
theoretically, he says, the Bolshevik
government is popular and supposed
to represent the will of the working
masses throughout Russia. In prac-
tice local Soviets have been bowled
over whenever they failed to satisfy
Moscow officials, and outsiders have
been placed in control. A large pro-
portion of the travelling commissars
who go about Russia on armored
trains to keep the local Soviets in
line are declared to be agitators
from New York and London.
The government is described as
analogous to such a rule as might be
imagined to originate with work
men of New York and Chicago.
Carrying out the analogy, such a
government would recognize the po-
litlcal rights OF nobody but work
men in New Orleans and San Fran
cisco. It would overthrow by arms
any government in Seattle or San
Antonio which did not reflect its own
views and would deny the ballot to
all persons possessed OF property
Under such government New York
and Chicago politicians would bt
sent with armed trains to overthrow
Soviets in st. Louis and Detroit
which failed to obey the mandate
Of the central governing board. Da
kota wheat farmers and Texas cot
ton growers would be forced to sur
render their products to armed cru
saders at whatever price the centra
Soviet officials chose to pay. Bank,

Spa, Belgium, Dec. 28.-The for
mer headquarters of the kaiser and
his general staff Is disclosing some
extraordinarily queer facts these
days about the men who engineered

denburg, Germany's superman, about
whom reams have been written dis
closing him as fearless Napoleon.
AS a matter of fact he spent { great
deal Of time in a wonderfully con-
structed funk hole" or dugout un-
derneath the grounds Of his villa
here.
Spa is so far from where battle
lines used to be that 1t was almost
a days journey in fast motor car
to get within sound of the big guns.
The kaiser, too, had similar hid
ing place at Neubois, near comic
opera trench system about which he
is said to have paraded for the bene-
fit OF the motion pictures. At each
OF their villas, there were delicate
electrical instruments which would
set up furious buzzing whenever an
airplane approached anywhere near
At the first sound from this con-
trivance Hindenburg and the kaiser
used to run to shelter, it is reported
People who worked about Hinden-
burg's establishment said that he
was continually running for cover.

Women proved so successful In

company, that they will be retained.
Women have occupied many posi-
tions in the machine shops of the
Oregon Short line, and large num-
Der will be retained. Women were
also employed in the canneries, these
will be retained. Having few fac
tories, most Of the women of Idaho
have been employed as elevator op.

have been said to have given equal
satisfaction with men. In but one

BATTLEF|HDS DOTTED
WITH SALVAGE CREWS

Behind the Lines in France, Nov.
27.-(Correspondence of the Associ-
ated Press. This land of recent
battles is a queer land now. Over
the shell torn villages and blasted
woods, the pitted fields and the ruin
of all that once was, is a strange
quiet. The winter sky is lacking in
airplanes and reat flocks of crows
have taken their place.
A few villagers have crept back
to see what remains of their homes
and holdings, but they are few and
probably the winter will have passed
before reclamation and reconstruc-
tion are undertaken on large scale.
Along the roads repaired and re-
bridged for the allies advance into
German territory, long cannon
trains move slowly and always south
ward. They travel leisurely now,
for the need of hurry is gone. They
bring back the salvage of battlefields,
all the things that go to make war,
abandoned or captured.
Truck load after truck load Of
rifles and shells, of water bottles
and haversacks, cartridges, machine
guns, bayonets and trench knives
and pistols, mess kits, overcoats,
caps, an endless catalogue Of para
phernalia are brought in. The battle
zone is still full Of 1t all, in heaps
and racks, waiting salvage.
