Marvellous Story
TOLD BY THE cossAcks

Archange1, Sunday, April 6.-The
Russian official report on the fight
ing in the Sred Mekhrenga sector
Friday shows that the Bolsheviki
lost TOO dead and wounded in addi-
tion to the los prisoners taken by
the allied forces. The allies sus-
tanned no casualties.
The Bolsheviki today resumed
the bombardment of the British and
American positions on the Dvina
and vaga rivers.
Allied patrols Saturday and to-
day picked up number of Bolshe-
vik wounded near the scene of Fri
days fighting at Sred Makhrenga.
They also picked up number of
machine guns.
M. ". Arnold, of London, Ohio,
and B.. r. Ryall, of Bloomfield, N.
j., Y. M. G. A. workers who have
been missing for several days and
three American soldiers captured
by the Bolsheviki on the Bolshie
Ozerki sector, are being taken to
Moscow, according to information
received in Archangel today from
Obozerkaya. They are apparently
being well treated.
Rev. Father Roach, a chaplain
with the British forces, who was
captured near Bolshie Ozerki on
March 81 was released by the Boil
sheviki and yesterday made his
way through the American lines on
the Vologda front. The chaplain
brought letter from Ryall that he,
Arnold and TIE soldiers were being
taken to Moscow. The soldiers are
Sergeant Glenn w. Leitzell, OF
Pennsylvania; Mechanic Jens c..
Laursen Hogan, Detroit.
The advices brought by Father
Roach was the first direct word re-
garding the safety of any American
captured by the Bolsheviki. The
American Red Cross at Archangel is
endeavoring to obtain information
regarding the prisoners.
The theft of four million Bolshe-
vik rubles by band of Circassian
Cossack officers whose activities al
so included the arrest of the Ameri-
can consul at Archangel and the
kidnapping of the north Russian
government was explained at the
trial of the officers today before the
supreme judicial authority of north
ern Russia. The officers, among
whom were Captain Bers and Colon

an interview for this correspondence
in which he discussed the assum-

North Carolina, Arkansas, South

strength of the Clark opposition.
Representative Kitchin is of the
opinion that the membership of the
fourteen important committees in
the House of Representatives eight

the candidate that popularized the
song of 'stop kicking my hound

That the anti-Clark strength is
making headway cannot be doubted
and when the test comes the close

to the advocates of the former speak

Formerly silk cloth used to be sold
locally in its original colors-pure
white or yellow. The purchaser could
have it dyed overnight. Now, however.
silk is dyed before being placed on
the market. The Chinese use vege-
table dyes, made by secret formula.
Since the European war cut off the
shipment of German dyes to America
millions of dollars worth of Chinese
dyes have been sold for export to the
United States. The most successful
Of the colors are indigo, oriental green
"a shade OF olive) and vermilion. The
finest silks, It may be noted in passing,
remain IN China. The next grade goes
to France and the third to the United
States.

Of Chinese children of the poorer
classes are hardly equalled in any other
country. Before the Chinese baby. can
attain to maturity it has to contend
with inherited ailments, malnutrition,
unsanitary environment, and perhaps
worst of all-contagiou diseases. Little
wonder, then, that 65 per cent of the
total number OF children born in the
Celestial Republic die before they
reach the age of two years and that the
average life of the native in China
is only 21 years.
Nature balances the high mortality
rate in China by arranging early matur-
! ity. The marriage age in the silk dis
trict is fourteen years for females and
sixteen for males. Despite the prev
alence of loathsome diseases, the fer
tillty Of the race is remarkable. While
there are no reliable statistics on the
/ subject, it is safe TO estimate the aver
age Chinese family at fifteen children.
Frequently the number is as high as
twenty-four or thirty. Monogamy is
practised by the peasant class for eco
nomic reasons. When a Chinese can
afford it, he usually marries several
wives.

For there's little to earn
and many to keep"
the Chinacized version of Tennyson,
applies with peculiar aptness to the
worlds most famous silk-producing
region--of which ancient Nanking is
the centre.
Around Marking children begin to
earn a living wien they are between
two and three years old. There are no
minimum hour laws in Marking, either.
Babies wind silk strands until sheer
WEAKNESS wraps them in sleep. They
waken to renew the endless effort.
Days and years pass on, but the only
change time brings into the life of the
Chinese silk worker is to be assigned
more lab6rious tasks--for longer hours
at stretch.
Little wonder Chinese children have
few games Except for the three
feast days Of the year, there are no
holidays for the non Christian portion
Of the people. And even on the gala
occasions-New Years, and the feasts
of the Fifth and Eighth Moon-the
games are participated in not by the
children, but by the men. Men fly
kites. Children "look see.' No need
to mention the games of chance where
by adult males amuse themselves.
Forty-two gambling games may be
played with dominoes alonel
Silk production is so much the raison
detre of Nankingese-esp specially of the
feminine element-that the biography
of silkworm is part and parcel OF a
Nanking woman's life story.
To begin with, ericulture-growing
silkworms for productive purposes
originated with woman, an Empress
of China, who, tradition has it, reigned
some $500 years before the birth of
Christ 1t was also woman, by the
way, that introduced cotton culture
into China. Lady Whang conducted
the first experiments with the plant
in the thirteenth century, A D.
Ordinarily, the eggs of the moth
parent to the silkworm are hatched
in the sun. When, however, it is de-
| sired to shorten the incubation period
the eggs-spread on pieces of cloth
are bound about the body of the
farmers wife. Human heat hastens
the Matching process by several days
When incubation by this mode is com
pleted, the woman's body is covered
with thousands of dark gray insects
very similar in appearance to the un-
appreciated 'cootie," but-unlike the
''cootie"-the silkworm does not cling
to the human body.
