0NSk REFUGEES,
 POVERTY STRICKEN, FACE SEVERE WINTER
Cave-Dwellers Constitute a Big Problem for the American
 Red Cross.

Omsk, Sept. 20, via vladivostok, Nov. 12.-(By the Associated Press) Several thousand cave-dwelling refugees in the outskirts of Omsk, facing a Siberian winter only a month or two off, living a hand-to- mouth fashion with nothing in tho way of clothing but the rags in which they stand, constitute problem for the American Red Cross, practically the only organization to which they can look with any hope of relief. The Associated Press correspondent, accompanied Major Charles McDon- aid and Dr. A. F. Jackson, Red Cross managers, on a tour of inspection to- day. They were trying to guage the necessities and match them against their resources, already badly strain ed with relief work among the refu- gees and troops.
 The first group of huts visited numbered a hundred and forty, cov- ering perhaps an acre of ground and averaging five persons to hut. There were two other similar sett,e- ments in the neighborhood Most of the huts were mere burrows, some times with a little wondow peeping out close under the clay covered roof
 Crude steps led down into the dark interiors which ore entered by doub- ling up like a iack-knife. Stoves contrived out of bricks and stones and scraps of sheet iron, wide bunk or platform which served as sleeping accommodation for the entire family
 table made out of odds and ends of stool or two constituted the usual furnishings. To be sure there were more pretentious ones here and there were more pretentious ones here and there with wood sheating against the clay walls, whitewashed or papered with newspapers, and having board floors; but these were the "bourzhul" among the refugee proletariat.
 One cave about eight feet by ten feet had originally housed seven peo- pie. Today they were two; the oth- CTS had died during eighteen months

British Industries Now Are Seeking to
 Have Selves Keyed

London, Nov. 15.-Nearly every industry in Great BBritain not fav- ored by the protection of import re- strictions is trying to have itself keyed" A "key" industry is one essential to British industry and con- sidered so affected by.nthe war that it must be nursed back to health through the medium of government assistance
 The government did not remove i'm port restrictions September 1 on products manufactured by so-called British key industries. The majority of manufacturers forced into compe- tition by removal of the restrictions beliexed their industry should have been in the favored list.
 Among these are the automobile men who have protested vigorously against American machines coming into England with duty of B 1-3 per cent. British manufacturers ad- init they cannot produce cars in any thing like the amount needed with industry in Great Britain not fav- Tn many months 50 the board of trade so far has turned a deaf ear to their protestations. In the mean tune American cars are increasing in number on London's streets and one American firm advertises "delivery within forty-eight hours after order taken"
 Duty, the difference in exchange and freight charges raises the price of an Am erican car in London ,+o about double the price in the United States but that is not deterring the Engllshmen from snapping them up as rapidly as they arrive.

GERMANS FEAR THEIR TRADE SECRETS WILL
 BE PUBLIC PROPERTY
"Gap in Vest" a Front Is Call ed. Also Commercial
 Menace.

Coblenz, Nov. 14.-(By the Asso- ciated Press. .)-German business men have been worrying more than usual recently for. fear their trade secrets will become known to the al Iies through "the gap in the westt," as the occupied area is called.
 According to information reaching the headquarters of the American forces in Germany there is a feeling of uneasiness among the German business men that numerous trade secrets, including the dye industry, which Germany has always carefully guarded, may become available to foreign concerns through the visits paid to German factories by entente economic missions.
 Recent instructions published by the Inter-Allied Rhineland High com mission provide that no obstacles shall be placed in the way of corl- mercial and other missions author;z- ed by the allied and associated gov ernments entering German factories with the owners consent"
 These instructions confirm the rights provided by the armistice to search German factories for material taken during the war from the in- vaded regions of France and Belgium and for the supervision of factories by the economic sections of the ar mics if there should be reason to be- lieve that war materials are being produced.
 However, it is now determined that the German factory owners within the occupied regions have a legal right to object, if they so choose, to entente commercial representatives visiting their plans and thus finding out the special technical processes which are the secret possession of many industries in this section of Germany, notably of the steel and iron works of the lower Rhine val ley. Now the German manufacture CTS along the Rhine are endeavoring to devise scheme to prevent the eco- homie missions from visiting their plants whenever they so desire with out any formal notice to the factory owners.

W0RKLESS BONUS IS
 PROVING DRAIN ON
 GERMAN TREASURY
Begun to Relieve Distress it Has
 Become Means of LOOting State

Berlin, Nov. 15.-The "workless support bonus that thousands upon thousands of men and women nov are drawing in Berlin and Germany IS proving a heavy drain on the treas ury-and it is charged that the bonus IS so high that many men who in peace times were unskilled workmen now receive more pay for idleness than if they went back to their labor. ! Begun under the stress of the rev. olution and with the intention of tem- porarily alleviating distress, con- plaint is made that this bonus sya- tenn has become deeply imbedded cancer that sucks millions from the governmen that can i'll afford it. The number of persons idle in Der lin during August was nearly mil lion. It is estimated that 750,O00 of them do not want work because they are being supported by the state and are free to carry on the illegiti- mate pursuits of the unlicensed street dealer, the fly night gamb- Ter, the soap and cigarette vendor.
 The streets and squares of Berlin where people congregate most are, NtCoPlCS OCCdSlOll al dCCcLlpCS Ol IllC police, swarming hikes of humanity, selling or buying poor soap, wretch ed matches, immoral postcards and indecent literature, and cigarettes that are sold at ridiculous prices, es- pecially in the case of American cig- arettes which now glut the market. Recently the police have begun to raid these vendors.
 The first "razzia" as such raids are called was unexpected, and so many dealers were captured that they had to be sent to collection point i they had to be sent to collection points and then were transferred from there to the various police sta- tions. They confiscated food and goods required auto trucks for it's transportation.
 Roulette and little gambling games hastily concealed as the crowd scat ters on the approach of the police, still attract more workless than other strata of the population-because the workless have time to kill, and mon ey to spend and likewise the strong inclination to spend.
 One of the most unpleasant fea- lures of Berlin street life is the ar ray of wounded soldiers, suffering from broken or missing legs and arms, shell-shock or alleged she'll shock, who sit forlornly on the prin- cipal street and manipulate violin or a harmonica. With hands and fea- lures that tremble these relics of the war beg from morning until long af ter midnight. Their music" is al- ways narrowing.
