Fifteen Russian girls. dressed in their
confirmation clothes, were dragged
from a church one Sunday morning in
Spasskoe, Siberia. by japanese soldiers
and crimlnally assaulted. Their frantic
mothers ran screaming 90 the Ameri-

begged that their daughters be saved.
The priest and a Russian colonel, n.
Ivanoff, home on leave. followed on
their heels and pleaded with the officer

The more one reads of the progress
at the peace conference, the more it
appears that it would have been far
better i'm many ways if President Will
son would have followed the course OF
precedent and remained at Washing
ton, where he was badly needed,
leaving to other hands the work
at the peace conference as repre-
sentatives of the United States. 1t
has doubtless been fine junket for
Wilson. but it seems evident that his
pet schemes have delayed the compile
tiOn of the peace treaty TO a point
where it appears likely that many of
the fruits of the war will be lost to the
allies.
His course is resulting in the United
States being blamed for the deplOrable
situation that is arising in Europe. If
further warfare develops in France,
due largely to the failure of the peace
conference to fix peace terms and end
the war as quickly as possible and
then take up such matters of theory
and perhaps impractical ideal as the
league of nations. it seems now newt
able that the United States will be
irretrievably mixed up in the new orgy
of blood-letting. Every day of delay
has leSSened the chances of a SatiSfac-
tory peace being arrived at and a
''make-shift' or patched-up peace is
now predicted by some competent wri-
terS
In the meantime. while President
Wilson has been attempting to run
things here and abroad in a manner
that ear would hardly have dreamed
Of the United States has suffered for

and four big sheds. The large build

used as quarters and the lower for the
shops The smaller buildings are
used as officers quarters and offices
while the shops are used for storage.
Also have an annex park where the *.

offices and quarters, the gas plant,
truck storage and also barracks for
some of the tank men that are attached

that they will be all ready to start

GIVES DESCRIPTION OF
"RUSK COUNTY PLAN
Correspondent Writes to News-Budget
Of Plan For Religious Survey of
RuSk County

Already much interest is being shown
Plan this step is religious survey
of this county.
THE Rusk County Plan was orig
mated by Rev c. f. OBeirne. Of this
city 1t is aggressive and modern and
bids fair to gain even more than a To-
cal or state reputation.
1t is fact, that in every commun-
ity. especially in outlying small farm
ing communicative there are peO-
pie of every denomination who are do
ing practically nothing definite in the
way of actual Christian service. either
materially or spiritually. This is sim
ply because they are not in touch with
the church of their choice, either
through carelessness, distance or other
wise
The Rusk County Plan" has as its
objective the mobilization of these
(for the time being) inactive members
for definite action, and the awakening
Of others who have never been in the
service.
The plan provides for systematic
community study. as its basic work.
Ingram homes and those in surround
ing country have already been studied
and the result is definite workable
knowledge. Other communities will
soon be studied. The results will
serve as foundation facts for intensive
,vangelistic and general reclamation
work for which the '.Rusk County
Plan provides.

GOVERNMENT RECOMMENDS
REGISTRATION OF ALL BONDS

To insure against loss Or theft of
Liberty bonds, owners are being urged
by the treasury to lave their coupon
bonds registered, although the proceed
ure results in a great amount of work
and expense for the government now
that the number OF bond owners runs
above thirty millions. The registration
can be arranged at most banks, and is
done 'without cost to the owner. After
registration, if bond is accidently lost,
stolen, or destroyed, the government
will pay it at maturity just the same,
and interest checks will be mailed to
the bond owner twice a year without
requirng him to go to the trouble of
clipping coupons and presenting them
at bank
''The fact that bonds of the First
Liberty loan or bonds of the Second
Liberty loan are converted into bonds
bearing higher rate of interest does not
affect the dates on which interest is
payable" explains treasury an

kept PLEDGE
TO Send BREAD
American Nation Maintained Al
lied Loaf Through Self
Denial at Home Table.
AvERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World Is Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent of the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping. Between July
and October 10 we shipped 65,98O.3O5
bushels. If this rate should continue
until the end of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237, 100000 bushels of wheat and
-four in terms of wheat.
The result of increased production
and conservation efforts in the United
States has been that with the ceSSa-
ton of hOStilitieS we are able to re-
turn to a normal wheat diet. Supplies
Argentine and other hitherto inacces
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have white loaf at the COM
mon table.
But last year the tale was different
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep a
steady stream of wheat and flour NOV
ing across the sea. We found our
selves at the beginning of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had bare surplus of
100000 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability of a bread
famine-and in Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All of this surplus had left the
country early In the fall. By the first
of the year we had managed to ship a
little more than 100000 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
, cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only If we sent an additional 75.-
100000 bushels before July l could he
take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American peo-
pie was S5,000O00 bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January / and
July l. Out of a harvest which gave
us only 100000 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 141,000 900 bushels
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.
