Snow This Time as

TT was just the disinclination to

caused the remarkable neglect Of
snow on Keokuk sidewalks couple OF
months ago." said an observing citi.
zen this morning
He was pointing out that the snow
was promptly and properly cleaned
from the sidewalks yesterday after
noon and last evening BY late after.
noon, the business district had its
sidewalks cleaned. except In one or
two places, which became prominent
as exceptions And at the same time,
the residence districts, as rule, had
perfectly cleaned sidewalks.
1t was we'll that this was thus, for
the softness OF the snow would have
made very sloppy walking otherwise.

FROM RUSSIA
Position Of Trotsky and Lenine viii
be Strengthened When Allied
Troops Leave the
Country.

by J. W. r. Mason, Written for the
United Press1
, NEW YORK, Feb. Withdrawal
of the American and British troops
from Archangel and Murmansk, will
bring to an end expectations of an
army being sent to Russia by direction
Of the peace conference to subdue
the bolsheyiki and establish more
conservative government at Moscow.
The frequent references to interven-
ton made by French Foreign MINISTER
Pichon indicate that France has been
Exercising all the pressure in her pow
or to persuade America and Great Brit
ain to use Archangel and Murmansk
for bases for a major campaign in
Russia. With these two ports aban-
doned 1t will still be possible to strike
into Russia from the Baltic coast but
there would be a large military adj
vantage in holding the two northern
entries into Russia ia Baltic cam
paign were contemplated. Petrograd
could then be threatened from the
north and west simultaneously and
easier progress would result.
The, retirement of the Americans
and British from northern Russia will
strengthen the position of Trotsky and
Lenine among the Russian people. ac-
cording to all precedents of the Rus
sian situation. Every development
which the bolsheviki could emphasize
as advantageous to their newly organ
lied armies has increased the pres
tige of the, Moscow government The
withdrawal of the Americans and
British is due to political reasons and
not military defeat, but Trotsky and
Lenine will doubtless not let this fact
restrain them from making military
capital out of the incident
The added authority, which seems
inevitable, that Lenine and Trotsky
will not accumulate, suggests that the
postponement of the Princes Islands
conference will not work vital harm to
the bolsheviki. The renewal of nego-
tiations for the conference may be
facilitated by the step America and
Great Britain have arranged to make
With hope of Intervention in Russia
now gone and With bolsheyiki leaders
doubtless receiving congratulations at
home on military success. it seems
hopeless to await time for Russian
conference from which the bolsheviki
element can be eliminated.

from druggists everywhere in the
form of 5-grain tablets Of pure bitro-
phosphate, at a cost so low as to be

That only onefourth of the money
subscribed in Keokuk and lower Lee
county for the United War Work
campaign has been collected is mis-.
! leading statement put out by the
state treasurer of the fund, which
seems to have at its head in Iowa,
the same kind of efficiency which
created SO much disgust here about
the thrift stamp methods emanating
from Des Moines.
OF the $4,000 subscribed in south
ern Lee county, including Keokuk,
$4,000 is on deposit in bank to the
credit Of the state treasurer. 1t is
In hiss possession completely, but IN
a recent report, he did not charge
himself with more than about a third
OF the amount paid him..
II kicked at 1t at the time he or
dered me to deposit the money to his
credit in bank. instead Of sending it
to his office for his own disposition,
and it is all wrong" said L. A. Ham.
i'll, local treasurer of the fund to-
day.
/ State Treasurer Juusies Figures.
The state treasurer ordered the
money deposited in Keokuk bank
after the protest failed.
1t lies in bank in the account Of
the state treasurer, his property and
solely under his control. There has
been thus deposited by L. A Ham
ill. treasurer for southern Lee
county, $4,000. and about $1,000
more is ready for deposit to the state
treasurer's account, making a total
collection of about $4,000 out Of
$4,000, or ninety percent Of the
subscriptions.
But Notwithstanding these facts Of
record here, the state treasurer
charges himself only with what he
checks out Of his account book. His
recent report shows this on investi.
cation here. He had checked only
IOne-fourth of the subscriptions, and
reported only twenty-five percent Of
them collected, which is a distinct
libel OF Keokuk and southern Lee
county.
