lat named Souvoroff, woman ply

justice. the aged sister OF priest,

ministration with his wife.
Incidents OF this kind are declar-
ed to be frequent throughout the

the temporary governor for the
omsk All-Russian government. and
other leading officials point out that
the Bolsheyik movement has entire

degenerated into wild license and
cruelty, trying to exterminate all
those who work with their brain as
against those who labor with their
hands, destroying ruthlessly every

dreaming of replacing 1t with any
kind OF system or organization.
The general verdict In Siberia to-
day is that II humanity does not
stamp out bolshevism. bolshevism
will crush humanity and everything
that Is sacred and peaceful In the
world. for bolshevism is regarded as
an International danger and not
alone Russian danger.

lied; that not less than $40, 900. 900
would be spent on Oregon roads in

ANCESTOR S WISH
. WAS CARRIED OUT
General PersiiBg Lived to Lead Vie
torious Army 10 Free AIsace-
Lorraine From Huns

Greensburg, Pa, Mar. .22.-Gen-
eral John J. Pershing fulfilled the
wish Of an ancestor that a member
OF the Pershing family should save
Alsace-Lorraine, when he led the VIC
torious American armies against the
Germans. This fact Is disclosed by
the Reverend Justus N. Pershing, a
cousin OF General Pershing, who has
made public Letter written in AL
SAGE Lorraine more than 200 years
ago by Frederick Pershing, General
Pershing's great-great grandfather.
In this letter the generals ancestor
expressed the hope that his son,
Frederick Pershing Jr., or his de-
scendants would come back some
day and redeem the fair lands Of AL
sace-Lorraine from oppression.
According to the letter, the Per-
shings lived in the village of Kehe,
in Alsace-Lorraine in 1744 and
fought under Emperor Charles
against the Magyars. Soon after
that, when law was passed that all
able-bodied men between the ages of
16 and SO must join the landwehr
to protect their country from raw
ages by the Austrians. Frederick
Pershing Sr., sent his son to Amer
lea. Frederick Pershing Jr., reach
ed this country in 1749 and after
marrying Miss Wyant in Balti-
more, settled in Westmoreland coun-
try, Pennsylvania, where General
Pershing's grandparents were born.

Dimes WITH VICTIMS
PARENTS AND F|ANCEE

San Francisco, Mar. 22.-To be
taken to the heart of German fam
lily which had lost its own son in the
war. to sit down daily to the dinner
table with the father and mother,
and fiancee of thel ost boy; to take
his little sister in charge at nights
to teach her few words of English;
and, then to find that he was the
man who killed the son and brother
and fiance-that was the tragic ex-
perience of Captain Joseph P. Sui
livan, a San Francisco boy now serv-
ing with the army of occupation at
Treves.
The strange story is told in let
ter from Charles Phillips, San Fran
cisco editor and newspaper man,
now a Columbus secretary stationed
at Coblenz. A picture sent by Cap
tain Sullivan, showing himself seated
at the family table at the little
house in Treves has been received
by his mother, and confirms Phil
lips testimony. Tie father of the
dead German soldier is postmaster
at Treves.
identification was made possible
when the German housewife, en-
gagged in pressing one of Sullivan's
suits, took from his pocket the iden-
tificatioR tag of the man he had
killed. She knew her own sons
number, and it was the same as that
on the tag.
Captain Sullivan was leading his
men in action in the St. Mihiel sec
tor, when duty forced him to kill
the German enemy. Operating a
few hundred yards away from him
was German "77" that had picked
off several soldiers to whom he had
been deeply attached. Sullivan pick
ed up gun, sighted the sergeant,
who was operating the "77", and
shot the gunner down. Later, when
the Americans advanced. he secured
the tag and put it in his own pocket.
The mother, father fiancee and
even the little sister of the dead sol
dier realize that he was performing
only his duty-that they are victims
not of the hate of the Americans,
but only the grim irony Of war.

This is very important because the
fire engine is new aiding to pump the
silt from the settling basins and while
so engaged pressure from the pump
ing plant will be the city's only fire
protection. Every citizen should see
to it that not only his own water is
turned off but that all open hydrants
in his neighborhood are closed. No
tice will be given when the fire engine
is returned to it's regular service
