RUSSIA NEVER REAL NATION

He raised both arms heIplessly and
dropped them.
You thought Russia was a huge
country. That was a fiction built up
by the old regime, which meanwhile
intrigued with Germany. As n mat
ter of fact, Russia extends for few
hundred kilOmeters, north. south east
and west Of Moscow. The rest was a
foreign country, held together by force.
1t might become federation and grow
into something like your United States,
but 1t never was nation in the real
sense of the word.
you think we're n great agricul-
lural country. Another faIlacy. We
have land, but no agriculture. Our
peasants dance on their fields instead
of fertilizing them.
Foreigners have been very naive.
They assumed we were modern,
strong and capable because of few
fine things we sent to them. They
read Tolstoi or saw PavlOva and said
AHA great people" They saw
greatness through the entrechat of
some ballerina's legs -

German War Clubs

DO they really use clubs in battle?
Yes, they do. The Germans have a
vicious irOn-bound club about 80 inches
long, in size Il bit smaller than the
grip end af baseball bat. On the
clubbing end there is a round iron
band with inch-long spikes prOtruding.
These spikes have sharp points. The
British war museum presented our
mission with half-dOzen of these evil
looking weapons. They fit in well with
the caves and the muddy trench bur
rOwings. That's where they are used
most. too.

BIames for Women

One Of the speakers at the retail
tradesmen school at the AstOr house
in New York. predicted that mems
neckties would run to glaring cOlors
next season. Like all men, since the
days of Adam, he laid the odium upon
the women, so many of whom have
taken the places Of men clerks. These
women, he says, are bound to show the
young man who comes to buy the pink
and glaring blue creations" and they
of course, cannot dispute the opinion
taht such colOrs are just their style,
and so having bought will have tc
wear the gay neckties.

C.-There Is someone at all times
among the soldiers guarding German
prisoners here who can understand
German, paying strict attention to
their conversations, to detect any plots
that might be Matched to escape, and
secure other information.
But Ii would seem that such pre-
cautions are hardly necessary. The
prisoners have repeatedly expressed
themselves as being very well content
to remain here until the end of the
var They realize that 1t would be
foolish for them to try to escape, as
few of them speak English and they
could not get very far before being de-
tected. They have been heard to ex-
press the hope that they will never be
exchanged for American prisoners In
Germany.
The prisoners ere willing workers,
and they do q great deal of work about
camp. They are given humane treat

medical attention as is given f. sol

Sioux City, Oct. 26.-Selilng con-

forced to the limit, and at the same
tim ethere being a reluctance to sell
at prices offered.
With heavy and all rough hogs al

in the better grades of heavy and
