Captain John Bonbright
Home From France

Among the overseas soldiers who
have just returned is Captain John
Miller Bonbright, a former member
of the Telegraph staff, who was
identified with the Philadelphia
North American before going into
the service. He is captain of Com
pany B, Three Hundred and Tenth
Machine Gun Battalion. and has a
fine record as a soldier. Here is
a little incident he related on his
return to Philadelphia this week:
IT think our battalion holds the
record for being in a dangerous
spot without knowing it," he said.
"it happened on the night of Sep
tember 81. We were ordered for
ward in support and as result
about a full company of us got COM
pletely lost. We kept on until we
did not have the slightest idea
where we were and then 1 ordered
the men to dig in. Lieutenant
James Austin, of A Company, and
I kept on until we were about 600
meters ahead of the men, when we
began to feel that we were on dan
gerous ground and returned. 1t was
we'll we did, because in the morn
ing our battalion found ourselves
out ahead of the entire division. I
don't know how Austin and I ever
got as far forward as we did, nor
how we ever got back after we had
gotten ahead"

Refugees Tell Stories of Reign of Terror

Omsk, Siberia, May 2S.-A thread
of suffering runs through the stories
told by refugees from all parts of
European Russia, hundreds of thou
sands of whom have found asylum
here. Almost all of them fed from
Bolshevik terrorism. They tell of
murder of the members of their
families, deprivation of property,
savage treatment, hunger and ter
rible hardship of their flight from
Bolshevik bandits.
The correspondent of the Associ-
ated Press talked with number of
these refugees in order to learn
their adventures. Several cases came
to light in which girls unable to
escape before the approaching Boil
sheviki shot themselves rather than
fall into the hands of the terrorists.
The wife of a Russian colonel now
at Omsk said to the correspondent:
I'VE lived a life of comfort and
contentment on our land not far

Permanent Lincoln
Way Markers Coming

The Lincoln Highway is perma-
nently marked with enameled steel
signs set on steel posts from San
Francisco to Omaha. Nebraska, a dis
tance of over 1900 miles. The VAsso-
citation is endeavoring to replace the
old marking system of painting the
Lincoln Highway insignia on the tele-
graph poles with these permanent
steel markers as rapidly as possible,
and hopes to complete the job from
Omaha to Pittsburgh next year with
the support of the local communities.
Those sections of the route which
are still marked with the painted
markers will require repainting this
spring and many of the communities
along the line between Omaha and
New York are already taking steps
to repaint the markers which have
become faded from the weather.
Allen County, Indiana, has already
thoroughly remarked the Lincoln
Highway within it's boundaries, and
the other counties of that progressive
state are expected to repaint their
Lincoln Highway markers before the
flood of early spring touring begins.

TO TURN LIGHT
ON EXPENSES OF
PEACE RETDVUE
Presidents Encourage Is Re-
ported as Costing Public
Many Millions

Washington, May 2S.-Nhat prom
ises to be one of the most interesting
and searching Investigations of the
new Congress, will be the probe of
the expenses of the commission that
went to Pair months ago to nego-
tiate peace with Germany and is still
comfortably living in the French
capital.
Immediately after the armistice
was signed it was believed that the
Navy would be ordered to place at
the disposal of the party sufficient
battleships and other craft speedily
to ferry across the representatives
necessary to end the war, get the
American Army home and leave in
Europe only enough secretaries and
ENJOYS to aid the permanent diplo-
matte corps in handling the after
the-war developments.
But more than half a year after
hostilities, Americas contingent is
still in Paris. The ordinary tax
payer must meet all expenses from
the improvements to the George
Washington down to the last penny
for entertainment during these hec-
tic six months. Members of Congress
are inclined to be liberal In the
handling of the business end of the
expedition but they want an account
ing.
1t has dawned upon the members
who are back in their offices that
the expense of this contingent is no
small matter when an effort must be
made to cut down general appropri-
ations. The Presidents encourage,
formally and informally, runs into
the hundreds. With one very large
and expensive hotel in Paris given
up almost exclusively to the housing
of the commission, there is an end
less chain of attaches spread over
the city, while emissaries have been
sent in different countries of Eu-
rope to collect data.
Many rumors have been current
as to the cost of the mission, includ
ing the fitting out and use of the
palatial ocean liner, George Wash
ington. 1t is common report that il
will run into the millions. Congress
is not disposed to be parsimonious
but at the same time, there is de-
mand for the vouchers and for in
formation as to the authority for
the outlay.

my Fellow Soldiers
Now that your service with the
American Expeditionary Forces is

of the people with resolute purpose.
Our democracy has been tested, and
the forces of autocracy have been
defeated. To the glory of the citizen
soldier, our troops have faithfully
fulfilled their trust, and int a sue
cession of brilliant offensives have
overcome the menace to our WILL

This preference for death rather

are now in Omsk. The wife of an

Some stories tell of the famine
which existed in the district of the
Ural mountains. When a relief train
arrived at Kalma, not far from
Perm, it was surrounded by children
begging for bread. A man of 72
years was so overcome when he re-
ceived a loaf of bread that he faint

given bread, became insane from

The refugees tell of several cases
in which peasants murdered the
proprietors of the land upon which
they lived in order to obtain pos

hand some of the peasants imperiled
their own lives to help the land
holders to escape from the Bolshe-

But when the struggling nursery
owner of Santa Rosa heard of the or

10000 trees and Immediately started
to produce them. Because no other
seed would sprout so late in the season,
he planted almonds in beds of moist
sand, covering them with cloth to main
tain the proper moisture and tempera-
ture. AS the almonds sprouted they
were removed one by one to the nursery
rows. Then he secured the surrounding
orchards for prune buds, and, as enough
advanced, the prune buds were budded
into them and the tops of young trees
were broken off, thus forcing them to
make a new growth. Within a little
more than six months young Burbank
had delivered 19.025 prune trees ready
