RED CROSS PARTY FROM
RUSSIA COMING EAST
Thousands of Czecho-Slovaks Want
to Join q. s. Against Austria,
It Is Reported.

A PACIFIC PORT, June 20.-The
American Red Cross mission to Rus
sia, headed by Lieut. Col. Raymond
Robins, which arrived here last night,
expected to leave for the east late
today. The party left Moscow May
IA.
While Lieut.. Col. Robins said he
would make no statement until he
had conferred with the State Depart
ment, unofficial members of the
party asserted that thousands OF
Czecho-Slovaks are on their way to
the United States to offer their serv-
ices against Austria.
These men, it was said, had been
conscripted by Austria when war was
declared, but at the first opportunity
had deserted to the Russians, remain-
ing with the latter until the Brest7
Litovsk peace treaty was signed. The
treaty being unsatisfactory to them
they decided to come to the United
States and offer their services.
Every courtesy was shown the party
by the bolshevik government. 1t was
stated. A private car was furnished
them at Moscow despite the scarcity
of rolling stock on the transsiberiar
railroad, and they made the journey
to Vladivostok in record time. @,-

SLAVIC LEGION GETS
PRESIDENTS APPROVAL
Will Be Organized and Trained Un-
der War Department Supervision
as an Army Unit.

A "Slavic Legion" to be made up OF
Slavs Jugo-Slavs. Czecho-Slovenes
and Poles of the United States. who
are not subject to the draft and who
volunteer for service has been ac-
corded the approval of President VIII
son. The legion is to be organized
and trained under the War Depart
ment supervision. 1t would serve
with the American expeditionary
force or with the allied armies as the
President may direct.
Slav leaders in the United States
long have urged the formation in this
country of units in the American
Army to be made up of oppressed
races Of the Austro-Hungarian and
German empires. Already there are
such legions fighting against Austria
with the Italian army.
Recently Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska, a member of the Senate mill
tary committee, proposed an amend
ment to the $4,000. 100000 Army ap-
preparation bill providing for "Slav-
ic Legion" and after the President
had written him, approving the plan,
the amendment was attached to the
measure by the Senate military sub
committee.
A force of several thousand Slavs,
recruited in this country and Canada
under the direction of Ignace Jan
Paderewski. recently entered the
fighting line in France. This legion
| was organized as a unit separate from
the armies of any of the nations fight
ing the central powers, and Slav lead
ers have insisted that many thousands
of Slavs and Poles in America would
volunteer for service against their
hereditary enemies If the organization
was made part of Americas fighting
| forces.
Senator Hitchcock's amendment seta
no limit to the size of the force to be
| raised, providing that such unit or
| units as the President may direct
shall be raised under such regulations
as the President may subscribe.

Letters From Contractors.

Letters have been received during
the last few days from contractors
who were clients of the contingent
fee agents, and who praised their
services, saying they had been un-
able even by repeated personal trips
to- Washington to make connections
with the Army officers supervising
purchases Of materials they produce
ed. officials admit also that a few
of the contract brokerage houses
conducted business in an apparently
open manner, without seeking to use
sinister influences with government
representatives, or intimating that
they had such influence.
By far the greater proportion of
letters which have flooded the de-
partment, this week, however, are
from contractors who condemn the
middlemen. The following letter to
Attorney General Gregory IS a typi-
cal example:
I why should it be necessary for the
government to patronize such curb
stone dealers, who have not dollar
of their own invested?

Fail to See Reason.

cit is evident that either the man.
ufacturer or the government must
maintain them in their business, and
we fail to see any reason for their
existence.
"Since we have been placed on the
bidding list we have had more re-
quests from such people as this than
from the government.
1--WE have gone SO far as to offer
to- the government the use of our en-
tire plant and output, simply asking
that we be allowed enough profit to
keep us even, but. much as we would
like to assist the government, we
absolutely refuse to sell the govern
ment through such people as these
dealers.

Much planning for the pageant prior
!, to the meeting last night had been
done by a committee composed Of Mrs.
Cecil 3; Norton, c. H. Clifford. Miss
min. Mrs. John ]. White, Miss Alice
Pollock and Miss Jessie Mcbride.
These workers were consolidated last
night with a list of citizens appointed
by Commissioner Brownlow to be
known as the Independence day cele-
bration committee.
Mr.. Brownlow told the committee
that the pageant promises to be of
such proportions that all other In
dependence day events have been
tton of the annual exercises of the
: Sons of the American Revolution,
which takes place in the morning.
Effort is being made to have the
corps OF four-minute men speak at all
public gatherings ip the District be-
forest in the demonstration. For the
purpose of completing details. Com
missioner Brownlow was authorized
to appoint committee on ways and
means and committee on arrange
1nents. 1t was felt that the full CEN
tral committee was too large to ham
die the details efficiently.
The following diplomats were in
vtted to be present: British ambas ssa-
dor, Japanese ambassador, French am
bassador, Russian ambassador, Bel
gian minister. Italian ambassador

Give Him
A Fair Start

MRS. WILSON: How do you
feel after taking it?
MOLLY: Oh, nothing but
good effects because there
areno drugsin in Nujol. That's
why it can be taken reg
ularly. You don't have to
set aside a day to recover
from it every time.
MRS. WILSON: Do you give it
to the baby regularly now?
Molly: Yes, indeed, he's
already started. Every baby
is born with a natural kink
in his bowels it has to
straighten out naturally, and
Nujol prevents any obstruc-
ton there. It rather helps
Nature to help herself. The
doctor approves, and this
sample of the youngest gen.
Grafton is going to grow UP
thinking Nujol inside sjust
as important as his morning
bath outside-which it is.
And mother, look here!
MRS. WILSON: Yes, Molly?

MRS. WILSON: Does it work

MOLLY: Mott depends on

I've been regular as clock

things about it. There's no
gripping, no violent action
isn't it funny, mother, that
some people don't feel they
are getting results unless
they get disturbance and
rough treatment in the pro-
cess! You would never know
you had taken Nujol-it's so

prevents the drying out and

CONTRACT
METHOD PROPOSED

Contractors Were Forced to
Deal With Agents.

Examination of. correspondence
seized by the Department of Jdstice
agents from offices of illegal contin-
gent fee agents has convinced off,
,cials that although the system by
which middlemen obtained contracts
for manufacturers is improper and
undesirable it had certain justifi-
cation in view Of the difficulty ex-
perienced by many. contractors in
making connections in Washington
with the bureaus or departments hav-
ing charge Of contracts for articles
they manufactured.
For thisN reason, the Department of
Justice is making special efforts, it
was announced today. to formulate a
new method for supplying adequate
information on all governments
needs to manufacturers. and to make
the services Of. contract agents en-
tirely unnecessary. In this connection,
the navy system of publishing period
ically what it desires to buy is under
close examination, and some features
of this may be extended to the War

AND COUNTY

ROCKVILLE, Nd. October 2s.-
Politics appears to be genuinely adj
journed in Montgomery county. At
the recent sittings Of the officers of
registration not the slightest effort
was made by the politicians, demo-
cratic or republican-exceptin pos
sibly, in one district, where some
little activity was reported-to have
names added to or stricken from the
the registrars was unprecedentedly
light.
Ordinarily for several weeks pre-
ceding an election the politicians are
ION their toes" SO to speak, holding
numerous meetings, scattering liter
ature broadcast, and using every
other method to induce the voters to
go to the polls and support this or
that candidate. This year, however,
it is different. Although the election
is but ten days off. not a single pub
lie meeting has been held in the
county in the interest of any candi-
date, and neither candidate for Con-
gress has stepped his foot into the
county. So far as is known, not a
partisan move of any kind has been
made by any one.
Even if the politicians were bestir-
ring themselves the vote on No
vember 5 would be sure to be light.
1t is estimated that not less than
1900 of the registered voters of this
county are in the military and naval
service and away from the county,
Very few of these are expected to be
able to return to vote. Because of
the scarcity of farm help, many of
