NO FOOD FOR
THE B0LSHEVIKI
Nansen's Plan for Neutrals
to Supply 1t Making
No Roadway
WOULD PROLONG
LENINE'S REIGN
Situation in Russia Is Grad
ually Returning Now to
Normal Conditions

Paris, April 2s (By the Associated
Press DR.. Fridtjof Nansen's plan for
the neutrals to supply food to Moscow
and Petrograd is apparently making lit
tie Roadway. He has been unable to
communicate with Nikola Lenine, the
bolshevik premier of Russia and the
opposition to the plan among the Rus
SLAMS here as representatives of the anti
bolshevik governments and in the French
press is becoming more pronounced.
The Russian representatives insist
that armies which are now making an
excellent showing against the bosheviki
should not be hindered by attempts to
help the bolsheviki by sending food sup
plies.
They urge that plans for supplying
food to bolsheyik Russia would only pro-
long the ascendancy Of Lenine and his
colleagues and prevent speedy restora-
ton of normal conditions.
The defeat of the bolsheviki at Kiev,
IN the Archangel section on the Baltic
front and along the two branches of the
transSberian railroad, is regarded by
Nicholas Tschaikowsky, head of the pro-
visional government Of northern Russia,
and his associates as proof that trans
portation facilities are failing the boil
sheviki and that they are no longer able
to shift their armies quickly enough to
meet attacks.

ARMENIANS LOYAL TO ALLIES
None of the Conquered Peoples Have
Shown More Devotion to Cause
of Liberty Than They.

1t has been the Armenlans who have
been most constant In their loyalty to
the allies, and eight months ago, from
the city of Van, 100 of them went forth
to take up positions which had been
vacated by Russians.
After the Turks took ErZerum last
February they swept on against the
national armies of the Armenlans and
Georgians through to Tabriz in north
western Persia, threatening the south
ern Caspian ports and wiping out an
Armenlans they met, Maynard Owen
Williams writes in Asia Magazine.
They boasted that they would keep on
until they met the Russian army, then
noneXistent. The fight by the Armen-
ians and GeOrgans, lacking allied sup
port, became more hopeless. The
Georgans bravely declared their in
dependence last May; but hardly a
month later 80 Georgian and Armenian
delegates in Constantinople were ut
terly unable to do anything but ac-
cede to the Turkish demands that they
withdraw their troops. 1t is evident
that the Georgians are now complete
ly dominated.

Delighted.

The examining officers at the pris-
oner pens talk German like natives,
but often the prisoners don't and that
leads to complications.
One inquisitor, who had just used his
best German vocabulary on an uncom-
pretending Hungarian, turned him
over to a special questioner and took
on five strangely-clad and somewhat
bewildered prisoners who, after great
deal of shouting and arm waving, man
aged to convey the fact that they were
neither Germans nor Austrians nor
Hungarians nor Slovaks. They were
Italians-five Italians taken prisoner

hind the German lines.

pened, and they wanted to kiss Gen
eral Pershing or somebody right away.

FAMOUS MEN OF GREEN ISLE
Country Has Few More Picturesque
Figures Than the Three Widely
Known Myles Brothers.

Lieut.. Col. Sir Thomas Myles, M. d.,
better known as Sir Tom Myles-
who has been in America on a British
medical MISSION is one of the most
picturesque figures in Irish life. AS
medical students in Trinity college,
Dublin, the three Myles brothers were
famous for their encounters with men,
bers of the heavyweight" division of
the Metropolitan police. 1t used to be
said Of the Myles brothers, that, If
they found 1t necessary to beat up the
Dublin finest" at night. they were
equally assiduous in patching them up
In the morning. SO there was no hard
feeling on either side.
Sir Thomas was knighted in 1902
when he was president of the College
of Surgeons in Ireland. 1t was as
house surgeon in Stevens hospital
that he made the first examination of
the bodies of Burke and Cavendsh,
the victims of the famous Phoenix
park murders. The strange thing was
that, at the moment, neither Sir
Thomas nor the police knew that one
of the bodies was that of the chief Sec
rotary, and the other that of the under
secretary for Ireland.
1t is a habit of the Myles family
to be over six feet in height, and
with shoulders and fists in proportion.
In the Zulu war one of the chiefs was
run to earth in his kraal by the British,
who wished to capture him alive. Vol
unteers were asked for and Sir
Thomas brother John undertook the
task. He crawled through the long
covered entrance and. came out ten
minutes later, dragging the kicking
potentate behind him by the scruff of
the neck.

BUILDS CHARACTER OF CHILD
kindergarten One of the Most Valuable
Features In the Scheme OF
Education.

Kindergarten methods, whether be-
gun by the mother in her own home or
by the trained teacher in school, are
Of inestimable value to the child, for
character building is always made their
principal aim and object.
Perhaps mothers may not have been
trained in kindergarten methods, but
at least they can learn how to tell a
story. Anyone can read a story, but
telling one is much more effective and
much more enjoyable to the child. Ev-
cry mother should learn how to tell
story. Use your own words and
choose simple and forceful ones. A
bare plot is interesting to the tiny
child, but many details should be sup
piled for the older boy and girl; they
love them. Use direct discourse when
possible. BE enthusiastic. Be dra-
matte. After the story is finished, talk
it over freely with the children. Choose
some stories which teach kindness to
animals and some which give training
in morals or good habits, but never
point the moral.
A taste for best literature can often
be formed in early childhood through
a wise choice of stories. This is also
true of music. The songs and music
used in the kindergarten are always
carefully selected by the Kindergarten
and should be just as carefully selected
for the home by mothers. Allow your
children to hear only the best.
Besides story telling and music, there
are also pictures. Those which inter-
est the child most show action and
movement. Pictures are helpful be-
cause they develop the imagination and
arouse the creative faculties.
Games also aid in the great work Of
character building. They help to de-
velop self-expression and originality
and can also be used to teach self-help-
fulness toward others. Through games
children may be mnde to discover the
evil effects of selfwill and the good
resulting from sef.control.
Play a story with your child. See
how attentive he will be and what
powers of self-expresslon he possesses.

CITY LOVED BY FRENCHMEN
country's Glory IndissoIubly Con-
nected With Reims, Especially Its
Old and Marvellous Cathedral.

If citations of Metz have especially
interested American readers, refer
ences to Reims have appealed most
to the French themselves. Cor Rems
Is very dear to them--f1r historic for
patriotic, for religious, and for liter
airy reasons. Nothing, perhaps, has
rejoiced our French allies more than
the fact that the Germans hare never
been able to take Reims, howe yer close
they have come to it.
It is the damage that has been done
to the glorious cathedral Of Reims that
constitutes one of the greatest artistic
tragedies of the war. Here, in this
magnificent cathedral, the kings of inn
perial France were crowned. Here
Joan Of Arc led Charles VII to his COR
onatlon-the salnted Joan who freed
Reims from its enemies.
One of the great pieces of news
from the western front was to the eff
feet that Reims had been fiaally and
definitely cleared from the menace Of
