LONDON Aug. 1.-THE retreat in

and are endeayoring to separate them
from the main body of the Kolchak
forces who are fighting on both sides
of the Trans Siberian railway.
East OF the Cheliabinsk, junction

the Bolshevih are said to have reach
ed the lines of Miassmisset river and
captured Tiumen Just east Of the Rus
sian Siberian border. The advices add
that there is no sign that the Bolshe-
vik advance is likely to be checked.
The Associated Press Is informed,
however, that the general position of
Admiral Kolchak and bis government
is not believed TO have been made
materially worse by the Bolshevik ad-
vance and barring the unexpected cap
ture of Admiral Kolchak the munitlon

time to aid his recovery.
Nevertheless 1t Is admitted here
that the reverses suffered are a ser
ious blow to the policy of the Entente

Better news has been received from
south Russia where general Tetlura,
the Ukraine anti -bolshevik leader is
progressing toward Ked with view
to cutting the railways southwark to-

previously been announced.
Mr.. Engelman commented upon the
fact that few Fairmonters had mani
tested interest In what the Domestic
Coal Corporation was doing by In
specting what was being done. He
thought only three Fairmont men had
visited the plant But when he said
this two more Rotarians called his at
tention to omissions which made the
total number five. The talk led to a
motion that the entire Rotary club in
spect the work following the meeting
next Thursday and this was enthusias-
tically decided by a rising vote.
Brooks Fleming, chairman OF the en-
tertainment committee, urged that
every Rotariai have his auto in front
Of the Y. NJ. G.. A. next ThurSday In or
der to provide transportation.
Letters wereSread from r. r. VIII
son, chairman of committee of ar
rangements for the recent Rotarian
Outing at Clarksburg, and from Frank
Mulhelland, former president of this
international Rotary organization.
Mr.. Wilson appreciated the interest OF
the Falrmont club in making the re-
cent Rotary Outing enjoyable. Mr..
Mulholland wrote to President Harry
]. Hartley thanking him and the club
for the splendid reception given him
on his recent visit here in connection
with the chautauqua. President Hart
ley and Henry s. Lively rode from
Kansas City to st. Louis after the con-
vention held this summer year ago a.

and formed an acquaintance which led
to the securing of Mr.. Mulholland for
an address at the Fairmont Rotary club

MONEY CAN BE MADE BY.
BUILDING HOUSES NOW
Interesting Talk the Housing Situation Developed at
Todays Meeting of the Fairmont
Rotary Club.

The high cost of building houses is
not the bugaboo that it is painted, ac-
cording to C. D. Robinson, who made
"one of the best speeches" ever made
at a Rotary club at today's meeting
to quote the comment of President
Harry j. Hartley following Mr.. Robin
sons talk.
The talk about building houses de-
veloped Unexpectedly, following some
remarks by w. P. Engleman, consult
ing engineer of the Domestic Coal
Corporation, who complained that his
household goods had been shipped to
Fairmont and that he would buy or
rent home to get one and that men
employed by that concern needed a
great many houses very, very badly.
Mr.. Robinson had promised Mr.. Engel-
man to get busy and he inquired ii
there was not Rotarian present who
could supply a house for this need. l:
is believed that one was secured. At
least arrangements were made for ne
gotiations.
In this connection Mr.. Robinson toIL
of how he and Harry b. Clark had
built three houses recently which cost
I $4,000 and had rented them for S74 a
month. This is better than ten per
cent. on the investment" continued
Mr.. Robinson, "and any public spirited
citizen who will build at this time will
not only evidence real interest in
Falrmont's progress but will at the
same time make a good investment.
Building is not the impossible thing
that many think when the investment
will yield ten per cent"
Mr.. Robinson told of plans for six
houses in choice locations which are
to be built soon. These houses will
cost from $4,000 to $4,000 each ane

WASHINGTON. Aug rl-wnne
gratified that the Senate Foreign RE-
lations COMMITTEES has decided to
speed up consideration OF the peace
treaty President Wilson, It was suid TO
day, has not receded from his posi-
ton against reservations.
It was tnttmated at the white House
that the attitude OF Senator Hitch
cock Of Nebraska, who told the For
eign Relations Committee yesterday
that unless the committee reported
the treaty out in the near. future an at
tempt would be made to have Il called
up in the Senate reflected that OF the
President.
Secretary Tumulty said there was
strong possibility that the Presldent
would start on his speaking tour when
the treaty was reported by the com
mitee. It was 1nttmated that whilo
the President saw no need for further
conferences with Republican senators
for discussion of the treaty and the
league covenant he still was holding
himself at the disposal of the commit
tee.

WOMEN HOLD JOBS?
"OH, you WOMEN!"

1t may have been fine for the
women of the country to take the
positions held by the men while they
served in the Great War and helped
to make the world safe to live in,
but it is all wrong for them to keep
these positions when their heroes
come back home.
So firmly did they believe in those
principles that they made photo
play based on that theme, which has
been released by Famous Players
Lasky Corporation as one of their
special Paramount productiosn, un-
der the title, "Oh, You Womenp p
which viii be shown at the Magic
City Theater tonight Thursday
Ernest Truck, the celebrated come
dian, and Louise Huff are the prin-
cipals in the cast.
The subject is one Of the most alb
sorbing that has come as the result
OF the recent war, and is particularly
timely, because of the recent return
of the warriors who served so well
in France. With no idea in mind
that it would be postwar propa-
ganda, Mr.. Emerson and Miss Loos
made their spectacular production,
and the results have been commented
on in most flattering manner from
all quarters, particularly by govern
ment officials.
