educate women, who have heretofore
been sheltered and protected, who
have never had an'opportunity to Sc
cure either a practical or commercial
education, to teach them so that they
and their children may continue to
exist, is the problem which the Amer

east is attempting to meet.
With the Moslem women contact
with the world is an unknown term.
They have lived lives Of seclusions
Now they face an entirely different
life. What property they may have
possessed has been sacrificed for food.
Starvation faces them.
The American women who have
been devoting their lives to work
among the Armenians and Syrtans
must take up the task. They know
the difficulties which are ahead. I'm
doubtedly i%lliteracy is the greatest
barrier to the Moslem woman's prog

Miss Okel to Glue.
MacD owell Recital

The announcement has been made
that Miss Adelaide Okell Of the wes-
ley faculty Is to give q lecture recital
on Edward MacDowell and his com.
positions next Monday evening at 8:15
o'clock at the Methodist church. Miss
Okrell will appear under the spon-
sorship Of the Sigma Alpha 1ota sor.
ority.
The lecture will be of special inter-
est because Of the TACT that Miss Okell
was a personal friend of Edward
MacDowell,, and for many years had
been closely in touch with the Mac
Dowell family. For that reason she
will be able to speak with authority
Of the personal characteristics Of the
great composer, and Of his life in
general. Miss Okell will illustrate her
lecture with several of the shorter
compositions of Mcdowell, and aft
err the lecture will play the Sonata
Tragica," considered of the COM
poser's greatest works.
Persons who have had the privilege
Of hearing Miss Okell in her lecture
recitals during previous months will
undoubtedly look forward with pleas
lure to the recital hex Monday e
ming. The Thursday Musical club
members will be among the patrons
and it is probable that the club will
attend in q group.
Miss Okell is a distinguished wom-
an and musician, and her appearance
in recital or lecture is always greeted
with enthusiasm.
The general public is invited to the
recital and there is to be no admis-
sion charge.

Now and then a big poplar would fall.
And Mother Beaver gave the sig
nal when any enemy came near. And
SO she helped save the workers. 1T
was a great night at Beavertown; and
never before had SO many trees been
cut down in one night. why, trees
kept falling all night; and the crash
Of the falling trees, made a big noise,
as the sound reverberated throughout
the dark chambers Of the Great For
est .
And the next morning Sammy
Muskrat was swimming past Dick OF
ter's house, and he called out, as Dick
was combing his hair on the front
porch OF his little house. N'Hello, Dick
Otter, did you hear, the awful racket
the Beavers made last night? Why, I
didn't sleep half the night, because
Of the falling of the trees they were
cutting down. I do wish those ever
! working Beavers would work in the
day-time, and not keep everybody
awake half the night"
1t was comical to hear Sammy
scold. But Mother Owl enjoyed the
racket, anyway.

That our army. like that earlier

IT was not confined to the army, how

detested conditions.

abated the practice OF profanity

lotment for. January has been IN
screased, and there are more French

she made this month than was first
! supposed.
The work Of the Red Cross is going
on just as briskly as ever, there Is no
iet-up, even though active warfare
has ceased, and there is just as much
need Of help in the chapter rooms as
there ever was. There are millions OF
little children, and destitute grown
ups in the war stricken countries who
have to be clothed. and there are still
q good many soldiers in hospitals;
for them hospital garments much be
made.
= The garments may be taken home
to be worked upon, and it is to these
individual workers that h Red Cross
;, appeals especially. There are many
days when the cutting department is
shy on help, and two Of these days
that recently have been particularly
bad, are Tuesday and Wednesday,. OF
each week. Women who are willing
to cut or Jew, are asked to lose no
time in presenting themselves at
headquarters, and they will be given
work.

WHERE THE FLAG CAME FROM.

WHERE THE FLAG CAME FROM.
Edinburgh Scotsman: A British Of
ficer, just returned from the newly
liberated portions of France and Bel
GUM, tells a curious, tale regarding
the flags with which the people cele-
brated their redemption. There were
flags everywhere. thousands of them
Union Jacks, Stars and Stripes, Jap
anese, Belgian, French and italian.
The officer struck by the variety and
number Of the emblems, remarked to
q native that the people seemed to
have been well prepared for the VIC
~torious return Of the Allies and their
own soldiers and asked where the
flags had been hidden. Hidden" re.
piled the Frenchman, "they were not
hidden. We. bought them from the
Germans!" Here, indeed, was q cur
ious manifestation Of German psychic
logy, or perhaps trading instinct. Did
the Germans anticipate their own re-
treat, and come prepared to equip
the French and Belgians with the
means Of celebration? It would
pear that they did so, and were will
ing to utilize-th occasion for earn
ling an honest penny, the only honest
money they had earned for many q

to establish and guarantee communi-

"The advance in the direction of
Moscow will then begin. The capture
of Moscow is the supreme end, the
political aim, to which our wills must
bend But we must first reach the
purely strategic aim, which is the de-
struction of the Soviet army. This is
the end to which | will devote my at

Admiral Kolchak said the Allies
could aid in the campaign by sending
armament, munitions, material and
clothing to the army of the Omsk
government The blockade of Soviet
Russia, he added, might be made more
stringent.
After the final victory, the Admiral
continued, a National Assembly will bs

Red Spokesman Here
Explains Food Refusal
Nuorteua Says for Bolsheuiki
to Cease Hostilities at This
Time WouId BE Suicidal

Commenting on the dispatch from
Paris, published yesterday. that the
Bolsheviki have refused to cease hos
tilities. even though food were pro-
\ vided them, Santer Nuorteva, official
spokesman of the Russian Soviet Bu-
reau headed by L. C. A. K Martens,
declared yesterday that for the Boil
sheviki to cease hostilities would be
suicidal
"The obvious intention Of the dis
PATCH" said Mr.. Nuorteva, sis to CON
vey the impression that the Soviet
government, for some insufficient rea-
son, refuses to accept offers to send
materials and food into Russia This
dispatch is creating prejudice against
Soviet Russia by making it appear that
announced plans of supplying Russia
with material have been upset because
of the impossibility of coming to
terms rms; with the Soviet government
"The actual situation" he continued,
"is the exact reverse. If the Allied
governments, through neutral chan
nels or otherwise, consent to send sup
plies to Russia and make conditions
that the Soviet government must cease
hostilities and the use of railroads for
military purposes, such request obvi-
ously can be complied with only if the
Russian rrevolutionsts also
cease tnelr nOStllltleS, and the Allied
governments cease to supply these
counter r-revolutionists with military
supplies. An acceptance of other con-
ditions would be equivalent to suicide.
CAS- stated by the Russian Soviet
Bureau, at the time the proposition to
feed Russia through neutral channels
was made, the Russian Soviet govern
ment is willing in every way to aid a
movement of that kind, as long as it
has no political character and as long
as it is not being used as a subterfuee
for attempts to overthrow the present
government of Russia"

Bolshevik Deadline
At Finnish Border.
Diplomat Declares
Army of Home Owners Stood
Between Reds and Rest of
the World, Minister Saas-
tamoinen Declares Here

The home coming folk of Finland be-
came the minute-men of the world
when Russian Bolshevism sought to
spread westward, Armas Saastamoinen,
the new Finnish Minister to the United
States, declared yesterday. They
sprang to arms, he said, and estab-
lished at the Finnish border a dead
line which the Bolsheviki could not
cross
The pluckiness of the Firms, he con-
tinued, had resulted in a cordial un-
derstanding between them and the
Scandinavian nations, which the Boil
sheviki might have overrun but for
the defence of the Firms.
Finland, Norway, Sweden and Den
mark, the members of this quadruple
entente, he said, were standardizing
their maritime and labor laws for their
mutual benefit. Nevertheless, he added
Bolshevik propagandists were tireles ss
in preaching world revolution in the
countries they could reach, and their
worthless currency had got as far as
France and England.
