Two Centuries.

San Jose, Costa Rica, Feb. 19.-The
Irazu volcano, the largest n highest
In Costa Rica, awakened Inc began a
new period Of violent activity after
nearly two centuries of quietness.
The previous remarkable eruption
OF this volcano took place in 1928,
when Costa RIGA was the poorest of
the colonies under the crown of Spain.
During that year the IraZu was in
activity throughout the whole year,
emitting huge quantities Of ashes.
cinders, smoke, vapor n gases and
the manifestation was followed by
earthquakes. Then came a period of
long rest. 1t fell into a deep slumber
for nearly two hundred years.
Now it has awakened again and is
pouring out, without interruption, tor
rents of vapor, sublimates and ashes,
cinders and volcanic debris which,
floating in the air and carried by the
air currents, have reached places 25
miles distant from the crater.
At the foot of this volcano lies the
historical city of Carriage, three times
destroyed by the colossus n as often
rebuilt by her inhabitants. During
the present crisis Carriage has suffered
no harm as her inhabitants, wiser
through experience, have rebuilt the
city earthquake proof, and the ennis

prevailing and which have blown them

HOW INDIANS
DO THEIR BIT
The Five Civilized Oklaho-
ma Tribes take Active Part
in War Activities.

Muskogee, Okla, Feb. {19.-Under
the direction of G. e. Parker, super
intendent of the Muskogee Indian
agency, which conducts the affairs of
the five civilized tribes" Oklahoma
Indians are taking an active part in
the win the war" campaign.
The start these so-called restrict
ed" Indians have made toward buying
100000 worth of war savings
stamps this year is only one .ofl the
many war activities in which they
have made q record.
Three thousand restricted" Indi-
ans are in military or naval service.
The five tribes subscribed $780,
500 to the first Liberty Loan and 3d.
54O.550 to the second Liberty Loan.
They have donated $4,000 to the
Red Cross. $2,25O to the Army Y. M.
c. A., $S19.8O to war relief work and
other miscellaneous movements, maxi
ing a total of $14,132 for this class
of donations
The area comprising the lands of
the five civilized tribes amounted or
iginally to about 19,000,600 acres in
eastern Oklahoma. Allotments were
given from this average to 100000
members of the tribes. Formerly all
these allotments were under the sup
ervision of the Indian agency here
but from time to time restrictions
have been removed by law and at this
time only $4,000 are restricted" In

About 10000 members of the civil

of these $500 are RESTRICTED" accord

front. My task was to teach these
soldiers geography and history in or
der that they might know what pa
triotism was, and be filled with ardor
to fight for native land.
How can a Russian who does not
know where Riga is, or what Riga
is, be patriotic about the deeds of the
army in the Riga section?
All of the men in this regiment had
been in service at the front two years
or more. Most all of them had been
wounded. Some of them had been
wounded two, or three, or -four times.
Many of them had the highest war
George. Why. they had already CIV
en- several lives for their country
every one of them-without food,
without clothing, without arms, with
out ammunition.
There was no such thing as in
stilling into them the ardor of patri-
otism, or the desire to fight. They
simply had no more fight in them.
They had passed through the unbe-
lievable. to each them patriotism ?
You can imagine what they said to
me. My heart failed me.
The Russian people quit fighting,
before the revolution came to pass,
simply because all people, high ana
low. found out by many bitterest
trials and by many shocking revela-
tons how the cars regime was rum
ming the Russian ship on the rocks
and drowning all the passengers like
rats.
When they discovered how incom-
petent the monarchy's conduct of the
war was, the most conservative of
the capitalists and the most radical
of the worklnen had joined hands in
a val industries board which was
fast ~renledying the cars disorganiza-
ton. Russian soldiers were being
fed and armed.
But when both these extreme class
es, n all the people in between
these extremes, learned how their
nobly patriotic efforts were being
frustrated by rottenness at the top,
and how Premier Sturmer was even
then dickering fol a separate peace
with Austria, then all hands joined
in the dethroning of the car. Some

RED CROSS TO
SEE THAT MEN
GET LETTERS
Society Officers in North
west Listing Every Man
in Service.

Minneapolis. Mimi, Feb. 19.-Om-
GERS of Minnesota, Montana and Da-
kota chapters and branches of the
Red Cross are listing men who have
gone to war from their neighborhoods
at the request of Coler Campbell, di-
rector of military relief of the north
ern division, and soon every man
from the northwest who is in the
service of his country will be assured
of at least one letter a week from
home" For after the lists are
completed the Red Cross officers are
to select neighbors and friends of
the men to write to them, asking each
to promise at least one letter a week.
This campaign was determined on
after many letters from army officers
told of the long lines that await the
distribution of mail at the camps in
France and at home, and Of the keen
disappointment and inconsistencies of
the men who drop out empty handed.
Letter writing" Mr.. Campbell says,
twill do more to Danish homesick-
ness, called by General Pershing the
most menacing disease that has at
tackled his troops, than all the sup
plies, medicines and garments the
Red Cross can supply"
Relatives of the men are writing
to them, says Mr.. Campbell, but they
need a CHEEKY word from their neigh
bors and friends, so the letter writing
circles will be formed.

hearings as absolutely essential in the
food conservation program. A minori-
ty report is expected.
BY controlling manufacture. the
food administration would be able to
enforce any rules 1t might maxi for
conserving wheat and other essential
f%oodstufs by the use of substitutes.
Control of distribution would enable
the administration to relieve possible
shortages in any section by shipping
food from other parts of the country.
In the hearings before the commit
tee, Mr.. Hoover said it was not desir-
ed to attempt general rationing, but
that rigid control of public eating
houses was necessary to avoid waste
and also to stimulate conservation in
the home, many housewives having
complained Of waste in hotels and
restaurants.
Housewives and farmers are not

Of smoke and gases aiming to the sky.
The 1razu volcano stands IL 900 feet
above the sea level and about two
hundred miles northwest of the Pan
ANA canal. Back in the prehistoric
ages, this volcano made formidable
eruptions, vomiting torrents of lava,
miles in length, of which there are
traces to be seen yet. Perhaps moth
ing similar will now happen; but the
Costa Rican people always bear in
mind the prediction of Humboldt who
foretold that the Central American
and Panama isthmuses were doomed
to be swallowed by the waters of both
oceans, making a broader canal than
the one that American genius built
across the 1sthmus of Panama.

of these nprisings the peasants had
been informed by some one that the
Amrican and Japanese troops were to
help them. This hoped-for aid. how
ever naturally did not materialize and
the uprising met with disastrous re-
suits. A number of the peasants were
executed and all the manor houses In
four whole townships were RACED by
the Germans as an object lesson. ac-
