 A & through s0 degrees of longt tude. and has an area of 6,9OOOOl square miles. The colonization of Si beria by emigration from Russia re quired movement of population which would be facilitated by the opening of roads for wagon transport It was in 1722 that the town of Ekaterinburg was founded, and in lI63 plans were made for projecting road coward Tiumen and thence across the Siberian steppes The route followed was that of the present Siberian rail way. Work was delayed for some years hy changes of government, but the road was finally completed along the line proposed.
 over this main Siberian highway passed thousands of colonists, many of them political eXiles from Russia, oth- CTS Gossaek soldiers directed to take Up their residence along the main Si- berian route for the purpose of mili- tary protection, says writer in Magazine Russia. The road formed main line of connection between scattered settlements of natives of various races, who had previously made limited use 0f trails and rivers for intercourse with each other. and for commerce with the world outside, It formed the only route by which the interior of Siberia could be reached from east or west, while the only oth- CT routes were the caravan trails across the mountains and deserts to the south. and the difficult passages of the Kara sea into the mouths of the Ob and Yenesei rivers.
 The Sibirsky- Trakt.
 Of the main highways used as pos tai routes. the principal road IS the famous Sibirsky-Trakt, over 1000 miles long, following. as has been said, the same route as the Trans=Siberian railway. Most of this road could be covered easily by vehicle, except in the stretch between Sretensk and khabarovsk. Between those towns about 570 miles of road can he made by vehicle. while the rest. 660 miles, Is covered by q paek-h0rse trail over the mountains, giving an alternative route to the river Shilka. The trail is used through the fall and spring only. while the river serves for boat trans port in summer, and sledge transport over the ice in winter. The portion of the route between the river Shilka and Khabarovsk is called the Amur 
 Another important main highway is the Irkutsk-YakutSk Trakt. l,S40 miles in length of which 250 miles are pass able by vehicle. The remainder of the distance is covered by the river Lena, in summer by boat and in winter over the ice by sled. The highway from Omsk through SemipalatinSk to Altai- skaya follows the river IrtiSh and has l length of 760 miles. There is also I main highway from Tomsk to Semi palatinsk. distance of 470 miles.
 All the above highways were i'm portant links in the governmental con rol of Siberia from Russia. Over these roads ceurierS, police and soldiers could pass readily from center to cen fer, keeping all settled parts of the country in communication with the cen -ral government. The main Siberian road is now largely disused on account of the superior communication offered by the Trans Siberian railway, and the other highways will eventually be

GREAT WELCOME
 FOR J. s. TROOPS

Belgium's welcome to the American troops on their march through that country enroute to the Rhine Is the subject of letter written by Corporal Everett Terhune of Company A, 107th Field Signal Battalion, to his brother, G. B. Terhune of 49 Burroughs street.

 Corporal Terhune tells of the ruin of many Belgium cities and mentions that he slept in the same Barracks as Eapoleon's soldiers did at the time he tried the same foolish stunt Bill tried" He says that his regiment has received six citations for gallantry in action.
