AMERICA WILL
CALL OFF ARMY
IN RUSS LAND

Washington, April THE War
Department, in conjunction with
British military authorities, is for
mulating plans for the removal of
American troops in northern Rus
sia.
While the exodus of our soldiers
from the icy North was originally
fixed for May or June, the depart
ment is now in a position to use
speedy action, providing the necss-
sity arises for such.
The United States, it was learned
today, has a fleet Of 100 ice crushers
in the White Sea, and these could
batter open the way for enough
transports to return the American
soldiers to civilization. The ice
crushers could also be used if the
transports carried reinforcements or
a rescuing party Of Allied troops.
Kola and Archangel are intended
to be Allied ports of debarkation and
it is likely that the British and
French forces now brigaded in that
part of Russia with American troops
will be withdrawn at the same time
inasmuch as the sup4eme war coun-
down military policy.
All told, the Allied forces at Arch
angel and Murmansk number 10000
men, composed Of British and French
forces now brigaded in that part of
Russia with American troops will be
withdrawn at the same time. mas
much as the Supreme War Council
is the deciding factor in laying down
a military policy.
All told, the Allied forces at Arch
angel and Murnansk number 10000
men, composed Of British, American
and loyal Russian troops. 1t was only
on repeated requests from the Brit
sh that President Wilson gave as
sent to the plan to include American
troops in the forces and the military
expedition as q whole became non
entity when the arnistice was signed.
1t was primarily intended to join
forces with 10000 Siberian and
Czech soldiers then opposing the
Bolshevist army along the middle Vol
ga. .'.. N'
Since the armistice, however, the
Allied troops have been kept busy
stemming Bolshevist army directed
entirely at them. t..
War Department officials today
placed slight credence in the cabled
report that Finnish Bolshevists were
fastening to the assistance of the
Russian Reds and that an amalgama-
tion of the two forces would further
ieopardize the opposition of the AL
lied army. Finlands role rs a pos
sible enemy belligent in the north,
they said, disappeared when Ger
many collapsed.
News Of the situation at Archangel
comes once a week to the War De-
partment via London, so that officials
are never completely out of touch for
any length Of time with the military
news, and it is sometimes ampified
by accounts of other doing from the
United States consul at Archangel.

CHATAUQUA. 7
FOR VALLEY.
I HIS ! { A R
IS IN DOUBT
Only Dates Open at Present
for Ell Centre are Late in
September or Early in
October.

Due to the fact that the only dates
open are the latter part of Septem-
ber or the first of October, there is
every possibility that no Chautauqua
will be held in Ell Centre this year.
This was the development today,
following the arrival of J, j. King,
western representative for the Red
path -Horner Bureau.
Because of division of opinion To-
cally on the question of whether the
entertainment series given during the
late summer would be financial sue
cess, the entire matter will be re-
ferred to the Kansas City offices of
the bureau for the purpose of secur-
ing an earlier booking, if possible.
In interviewing the business men
and persons who have previously TAX
en- an active interest in putting the
Chautauqua over, Mr.. King found that
many of them thought program pre-
sented in September would not draw
heavily for the reason that scores Of
persons would still be cut of the VAL
ley for their summer vacations during
that period.
Others believed that the coming Of
the entertainments would attract
many of these late vacationists home
and that slight financial loss to the
box office would be suffered. All,
however, agreed that bookings for the
late spring or else later in the fall
would be a great assurance that the
venture would be financially success
full. ...''
1t was regarded as possibility that
the itinerary of the entertainment
features comprising this years pro-
gram could be changed to enable the
booking of the ma jority Of the acts
for some date this spring.

Applestill and a force of deputies
Saturday night descended on Heber
and made thorough cleanup of the
town. About seven persons were
rounded up and ordered to move out
of the county.
Among those thus vagged were
four men suspected of being gam
blers and bootleggers, and two wom-
en-. The raid was made after infor-
nation had reached the county Off
GERS that an undesirable element had
established themselves in the town.
Without any constituted authority
constable or police officer, these peo-
pie, it is said, began to look on them
selves as established institutions anC

Other similar raids may be expect

Doctors and Druggists Astonished
 At Wonderful Power of Nicotol
 To Stop the Use of Tobacco To Detect Harmful Effects of Tobacco Try These Simple Tests

regarding the merit of this article have been very favorable" Dr.
 Conner, formerly of John Hopkins Hospital, tells how to detect the harmful effects of tobacco. Here is what he says: Many men who smoke, chew or snuff necessarily and who are seemingly healthy are suffering from progressive or ganic ailments. Thousands of them would never have been af- fected had it not been for the use of tobacco to excess, and thous- ands would soon get well if they would stop. The chief habit form ing principle of tobacco is nico
 tine, a deadly poison which when absorbed by the system, slowly af- fleets the nerves, membranes, tls- sues and vital organs of the body
 The harmful effect of tobacco var ies and depends on circumstances. One will be afflicted with general debility, others with catarrh of the throat, indigestion, constipation, extreme nervousness, sleepless- ness, loss of memory, lack of will power, mental confusion, etc. Oth- CTS, may suffer from heart dis ease, bronchial trouble, hardening of the arteries, tuberculosis, blind ness or even cancer or the common affliction known as tobacco heart. If you use tobacco to excess in any form you can easily detect the harmful effects, by making the following simple tests: Read aloud one full page from book. If you in the course of reading your voice becomes untitled, hoarse and in- distinct and you must frequently clear your throat, the chances are that your throat is affected by ca tarrh and it may be the beginning of more serious trouble.
