CzECHS REOCCUPY
KAzAN, ON v0LGA
BOIsheviki Forces Retreat After
Heavy Fighting.
REVOLUTION IS SPREADING
Red Leaders Have Left Petrograd and
Moscow and Are in HidinQ-Japa-
nese in Manchuria

Amsterdam, Aug. 27.-Czecho-Slo-
vaks and anti-BOlsheviki forces have
re-occupied the town of kaZan, on the
river Nolga, says Il Moscow despatch
to the Weser Zeitung, of Bremen.
The Bolsheviki We're forced TO re-
treat after heavy fighting.
The BOlsheviki now hold positions
some distance from KaZan. (KaZan
is the capital of the province of Ka-
zan. and is 430 miles east of MOScOw.)
A Moscow telegram giving a state
ment issued on August p says that
the Soviet troops had been forced to
retire in the region of TroiStjaka in
the direction of Kadilsk. in the Pys-
hung district (sOuth Of ArchangeD but

The big counter revolutionary move
ment which recently broke out in Mos

Spatch of troops TO the CZechO SlOvak
front. according to the Bolsheviki
newspaper Isvestia, of Moscow. The
movement, the newspaper adds, was
directed by Genc,ll AleXieff, former

Indians MAKING Good Soldiers.

At a soldiers camp in Texas there
is Cherokee, Jesse Fixon. He can't
talk English, but he can talk the al
lied language. A few days ago he
wanted to convey some message to a
lieutenant, and, using an Interpreter
and sign language, he declared he
wanted to go to France right away
and hayonet the kaiser all by himself.
There are some noted members OF
the various tribes in service. George
Baconrind, son of Chief Baconrind, Of
the Usage nation, is good soldier and
patriotic His father, back in the
Usage country, still wears blanket.
Herbert Whiteshield, a noted base
ball player, sought by several major
league clubs, is in the army. At one
of the environments Major Koehler,
long West Point swordmaster put the
men through strenuous exercise. 1t
was play for Indians. Some men
were overcome and had to drop out,
but not one Of the Indians did. The
Indians, too, are not only healthy and
strong as a race, but they follow all
the sanitary regulations in camp.
Several Indians have reached the
grade of captain.

SPOTS OF LIFE IN DEAD SEA
Small Fish and Other Living Creatures
Have Been Observed in Desc
late Waters.

The Dead sea Is not quite so desc
late as was represented by early writ
ers, who pictured it as utterly without
life, with sterile shores, and so pesti-
lential that even birds flying over were
liable to fall dead. Though As miles
in length and more than 8 miles in
greatest breadth, it is especially not
able as being the greatest depression
on the earth, its surface being 1900
feet lower than that Of the Mediter-
ranean. The rainfall is slight, but the
great volume of water poured in by
the Jordan raises the surface 1O or
IS feet at times, though, with no out
let, this inflow is all evaporated in the
dry season. The water has become
very dense and bitter, while floating
masses Of bitumen elected from the
bottom and sulphur deposited from
springs along the shore add to the IN
attractiveness. 1t is true that neither
animal nor vegetable life is to be
found in the safest parts of the sea,
but DR.. w. G. Masterton, in an &C.
count to the Royal Geographical So
ciety, stated that near the shores,
where small brackiSh streams find en-
trance, occur small fish, crabs and
mosquito larvae. At a spot where he
and other travellers saw fish actively
swimming, the water was found to
contain not less than 1873 per cent of
solids There are many places along
the shore where acres Of reeds and
many trees flourish, and at such spots
birds and other animal life are abun-
dnnt

FRENCH CRUSH ATTACK
Prussian Guard Division Loses ReaVi
Iy in Futile Assault.

With the French Army on the Disc
Front. Aug. o7.-Violent coynter at
tackS launched by the Germans be-
tween The river Ailette at Mont Saint
Mard and Juvigny, north of the Sois-
sons were completely smashed by the
French.
General Nfangin's army is still men
acing the German communications be-
tween the river Aisne and the Sois-
sons and Loan region.
The French troops are still stoutly
holding the positions they have won
In this sector, and further gains TO
the eastward in the direction of the
Chemin deS Danes would put the en-
envy in another dangerous pocket
The French at Juvigny are within
four miles of the railroad running to-
ward Laon, and they also are within
seven miles Of the highroad going in
the same direction. This highroad
joins the Chemin DIES Danes eight
miles away near Malmaisson, the west
ern pillar of the celebrated Chemin
des Danes position.
The first division of the Prussian
guard was brought up Sunday, but II
gained no success.
The first rush of the Prussian guard
gained ground between Pont st. Marc
and Orine-de- Montecouve, north Of
Juvigny. They were obliged to aban.
don the field soon after, however,
leaving behind them a considerable

Natures Inconsistencies.

"How shall we interpret the sing
ing of birds? asks John Burroughs In
an article in Harper's.
"Our turkey-buzzard has no voice
because it has no syrinX (the musical
box Of the birds)," he says. maybe
Nature did not dare trust the unclean-
ly gluttOn to speak. The hawks and
the eagles she seems more liberal
with because theirs is a nobler type
of savagery.
"Ard yet, not to be too sure about
natures motives, there is the Euro
pean stork, rather noble bird, which
has no voice. 1t is not easy to
fathom natures inconsistencies. See
what a voice she has given to the
frogs, and none to the turtles! Be
hold the noisy crickets and grasshop-
pers and the silent moths and butter
flies, the whistling marmot and the
silent skunks and procupines"

TO RECLAIM DISABLED MEN
War Is Teaching a Great Lesson as to
Possibilities in This lmpor-
tant Field,

The reclamation of the energies Of
all the disabled of the nation may be
taught by the eXigencies of war, ac-
cording to Maj. Harry E. Mock, NJ. r.
c., who in addressing the National
League of American Pen Women,
said:
There are in the United States
100000 persons who have been dis
abled in ndustries-probably more
than the total number of soldiers who
will be disabled through this war
yet neither government nor industry
has hitherto made thorough effort to
reclaim their energy. That Is a great
lesson this war has taught us, and
when we have won it we shall find
that, through deaths, a cessation of
immigration, and other causes, we
shall face a great shortage in the la
Dor market. We shall then turn our
attention to the reclamation of all the
disabled and thus our country will
profit by the labor of all her sons and
daughters"

AGREE ON DRY U. S.
IN JULY IS REPORT
Senate Compromise Likely on
War Prohibition.

Washington, Aug. 2T-After much
cloakroom negotiation senate leaders
said the prohibition supporters had
agreed to fix July l, 1919, instead of
January l, of next year. as the date
when wartime national prohibition
would be come effective
Although some of the bills oppo-
nents were demanding longer extern
sion, representatives of both factions
said it appeared probable that July
| l finally would he agreed to-
The prohibition bill was sidetrack-
ed temporarily i'll the senate in favor
of the man power legislation and also
to give time for the negotiations be-
tween the opposing factions.
Senator Sheppard, Democrat, Texas,
manager of the prohibition bill, assert
ed that The president did not object
ton, but discussed extending the eff
fective date of the restrictions.
Additional time. the president was
said to feel. should be given many
interests involved in the liquor bust
ness TO close up their affairs. including
banks holding bonded warehouse GER
titicates.
That time also should be afforded
for social adjustment was said to have
been suggested by the president.
The new date, ii was said, would not
interfere with government revenue
collections on liquor for the fiscal
year and thus avoid redrafting the
war revenue bill, which rs based on
estimated returns of about S900,000
oct from intoxicants
Senator Sheppard said the bills pas
sage is certain, but that prohibition of
advocates undoubtedly would agree to
some extension of time.
Confidence that an agreement be
tween the TWO senate factions on the
time limit would be reached and pave
the way for passage of the bill late
this week with comparatively brief
and perfunctory opposition was ey-
pressed by prohibition champions
According to Senator Sheppard, the
bills opponents c"lcede its passage
and the only question at issue now
is the time when it will become effec-
tive

Good Word for Snakes.

"Only II of the Ill varieties OF
snakes in America are poisonous,
writes Glayne K. Norton In American
Forestry. "None," he asserts, "will at
tack a human being except In self
defense. All of them destroy rodents
that injure crops and carry communi-
cable diseases"
The United States department Of ag-
riculture places our annual crop loss
due to rodents at over 100000, 900, or
something like SIS person.
Just how many more snakes we need
in America to save this $50O,0OO,O 900 OF
food no one claims to know, but 1t
may be a good idea for snake haters
to permit the wiggling reptiles longer
lease of life-a reprieve, you might
say, until all the rodents are gone.

Washington. Aug 27.-Nearly all
the BOlSheviki leaders have left Pet
rngrad and Moscow and it is almost
impossible to see those who are left,
according to information reaching the
state department through Stockholm.
from man who left PetrOgrad on
August IL.
He reported Lenine, the Bolsheviki
premier, on battleship at KrOnstadt,
and Trotzky aboard the former En-
peror Nicholas yacht, short distance
below Petrograd.
This report is denied by the Swed-
fish press, but the departments infor-
mant said it was current when he left
PetrograA; His message told also of
n meeting held at Kronstadt in an
pndeavor To get the soldiers there to
agree to fight against the Czecho-
Slovaks. There were about 1000 SOL
ders present to hear an address by
Trotzky, but it was intimated that
mo4 of them could not be persuaded
To move against the CZechs.
Several arrests We're reported made
ut Jaroslav in a counter revolutionary
plot and the prisoners sent to Krons-
tadt, only to be set free by the garri-
son.
AS an example of the difficulty of
travel in eastern Siberia, the state de-
partment made public information
from Pekin reporting the arrival there
Of an Engiishman from Irkutsk after
twenty-five days on the road. He lft
trkutsk July "a and reported that on
that date the CzechO Slovaks were ad-
yancing very slowly east of Irkutsk
because the railroad and bridges had
been damaged by the Bolsheviki and
German-AuStrian prisoners.
Two Americans arrived at Urga on
August Z, having been forty days ira
yelling from Irkutsk.

HAVE TRADITIONS OF GLORY
Heroic Memories of the Past Inspire
Many Regiments of the Army of
the United States.

We have heard of those British regi-
ments the "Black Watch" "Seaforth
Highlanders" 'Inniskillen FuSileers,"
sherwood Foresters," and some 9TH
ers, famous for the long years they
have been in existence, for their heroic
deeds in past wars, for the traditions
that have come down through genera
lions of soldiers, of what they did at
Waterloo, or Inkermann, or at the
siege of Lucknow.
Who, outside the army itself, knows
that we in America have regiments
more than a century old, with heroic
traditions too? That fact was brought
to mind the other day by a little news
item recording the annual dinner in
Camp Eagle Pass, Texas, of the Off
GERS mess of the Third United States
Infantry regiment, and said the item:
ever since the battle of Monterey,
in the Mexican war, when for three
days the Third bore the brunt Of
great battle, it has been the custom for
the officers to assemble annually for
a regimental dinner"
But the history of that regiment
goes away back of that battle in Mex
leo in September, 1947. 1t goes back
over 125 years of active service, since
it's organization in 1892 as the "Infan-
try of the Third Sublegion." Four
years later it became the Third in
fantry, and so it has remained ever
since.
This famous regiment was not in the
Revolutionary war, but many veterans
of that war were in it's first organiza-
ton. 1t was part of the first regular
army of the United States, and fought
in the War of 1912 and in the cam
paigns against warning Creek, Chip
pewa, Sioux and Blackfeet Indians. In
the days before there was a house or
a road in Kansas territory it did duty
there 1t went through the Mexican
war, the Civil war and the Spanish
American war.
But there is an older regiment than
the Third. The First regiment of in
fantry was organized in 1889, from q
regiment of state troops which fought
under Washington in the Revolution
airy war, and it is yet in existence, its
colonel being Daniel l.. Howell of Iowa.
This regiment has a history of glori-
Gus deeds, too; and both these old
regiments will have those traditions of
the past to spur them on to greater
deeds in this war.

Innkeepers' Siqns.

In the middle ages, before turnpikes
were constructed, the castles Of the
barons and the monasteries offered
shelter and food to travellers. The
baronial arms were always hung before
the castles in prominent positions, the
object being to enable wayfaring stran-
gers to identify gwen house
by the most conspicuous object in the
device. Thus, If a rose, lily or lion
appeared in bold relief the building
was named by the traveller by one
or other of these terms. After the
overthrow of the feudal powers and the
suppression of the monasteries the
wayside hosiery was the only re-
source left to wanderers, and it took
over the former custom by displaying
