Sergeant Clyde ]. Shore has just returned to
Sterling from overseas experience that al
most anyone in the world would give great
deal to have had if they could be sure they
would come back as Sergeant Shore did, but
he took the fighting chance and his experiences,
which he related to representative of the Ga
zette show that he was more than under hap
tism of fire, for things were so hot that he was
in the fire most of the time and how he instead

A Speech With Atmosphere in 1t.

(Muscatine Iowa, JournaD.
Delivered in a free and easy manner the
speaker adopting conversational tone, the ad-
dress gave it's auditors intimate glimpse OF
conditions in Siberia. Dean Russell who was
sent to that country as member of govern
ment mission appointed by President Wilson
told of his experiences and observations in al
informal yet peculiarly striking manner. The
narrative brought to its hearers new appre-
citation of the Siberian situation, rejecting as
it did the atmosphere which prevails in that
expansive area of infernecine strife.
