 Allied advisors in their attempt to
 bring order out of the chaos of nine
 months of Bolshevili regime in the
 Archangel province Slowly but
 surely, the task is going forward but
 no one denies it is q difficult job. one problem the Allies confront is
 how to arouse the Russians to work
 for their own regeneration and to join in the task of shaking off the grip of the Bolsheviki Urging them to do
 so the Sivernoie utro, published here, says:
 "The French, British and American soldiers came here from all parts of the world to fight for the freedom and happiness of this country. The Rus sian people look upon the Allies with
 watching r'th neighbor. but they are making but little effort them selves to strive for ;l happier and freer life. They expect that the oth- CTS, the Allies for instance, will fight for them"
 Russia is now divided into two camps declared the NoXroshdcnic' Sievera "One is on the side of the monarchists the Bolsheviki and tho Germans: the other, all the democra- tic elements of Russia supported by the allies. The Bolsheviki try to per- suade the population that the allied
 intervention aims to restore mop- |archy but the facts show the con
 trary. Russia must fully realize that the aim of the allies is to lend their |assstauce for the regeneration of Russia on q sound and democratic basis"

GJ.'I AFTER SWlNLDERS
 OF SOUTHERN NEGROES
A associated Press Service.

Associated Press Service.
 DALLAS, Texas.-EXploitatio of
 the southen negro, who has reached q stage of prosperity as a result of re-
 cord cotton prices and high wages of
 the past few years, has gained such
 proportions that federal and state
 authorities are preparing for a drive on persons who swindle the negro ont
 of government war securities.
 Unschupulous statesmen have flooded
 the south, telling the negro that his liberty bonds, war savings and thrift
 stamps are of less than flee value and
 offering to take them in exchange for
 oil or mine stock or dazzling bits of
 jewelry.
 Negroes all through the south
 bought freely of government securl- ties Sometimes they did not known just what they were buying, negro leaders say. but knew the government wanted money and quickly emptied their purses Some thought they
 were giving instead of investing.
 They are better off than ever be- fore. Those who had farmed on shares the proceeding years had ob- tained more money for their cotton than they ever expected to possess and tboco ubo worked fOl, wages in the fields were paid twice the wages of a few years ago.
 A letter just sent out by Prof. F. L. Blackshear of the negro extension work in Texas says negroes are being offered cheap and often worthless goods with the assurance that their savings stamps and liberty bonds are not of par value and will not be for several years It is then casually sug- gested by statesmen that the negro may be dead before his holdings reach par value and emphasis is laid on the enjoyment he would get by the im-
 mediate purchase of their goods, pos
 sibly cheap trinkets, a worthless sew
 ing machine or musical instrument. 1 Prof. Blackshear has written circul- ar letters to the leaders of the race In
 the state urging immediate action to stamp out the evil by q campaign of
 eduaction.
