80 many bars and locks. and where

LOVE, ADVENTURE,
FIGHTING!

"The Impostor" is a story
Of action-of love, adven-
ture and fighting. It's no
society novel. It's no detec-
tive yarn. It's no study OF
the sex problem. It's no
preachment in disguise. It's
a red-bIooded narrative OF
i. the sea, with an unusual
plot, just enough mystery to
keep the reader guessing
and the fascination OF the
Orient-throWn in for good
measure.
The adventure comes
first, as. it should Then
comes the fighting. And in
the events leading up to the
finale Cupid takes command.
The hero is AmeriCan-and
worth while. The heroine is
American-and IovabIe. The
pirate william is able, mys-
terious and aggressive-and
when the hero evens up the
score you're glad of it.
And the story is well writ
ten. The word pictures are
graphic. You can get thrills in
every instaI|ment. You'll be
eager to get hold of it and
you'll wish there was more.

SOLDIER FROM
SIBERIA TELLS
OF EXPERIENCE

The bleak Siberian winter. at
tecks from unfriendIy Cossacks and
uafsoW escapes from bolshevikis,
and all the hardships endured by
the American forces IN Siberia, the
land where more Americans pro-
portionately are said to have died
than fell In F'raDce-these figured
IN the experiences OF a young
American soldier, well known to
this community, who has Just re-
turned from overseas.
Marvin Weeks will be remember
ed IS former Rock Island boy,
whose wife was formerly Miss
Elizabeth Clancy. the talented
young Yaolinist of this city, whose
tragic death occurred a year ago,
While her husband was overseas.
Mr.. Weeks has Just returned and
Is paying a brief visit to her moth
er, Mrs. J. I. CLANCY, here, before
returning to Chicago.
Mr.. Weeks was drawing maps
with the regfmental intelligence
department of the 9th infantry, of
thatp Of the 18th division which
was sent to Siberia. Arriving at
Vladivostok on Labor day, 1918. the
troops were hmm diateIy sent in a
box car train 20 the front, Just in
time to witness the last of battle
between bolsheVik and allied
troops, in which the defeated boil
shexika were Withdrawing with
sgeed and lacrity. Almost at once,
THE American troops went into win
ter quarters, at Habarobsk.
The barracks which they occu-
pied we're those erected by the
Russian government to house it's
troops during the Russo-Japanese
war. There were enough to house
a million men in the locality of
Vladivostok only Mr. Weeks de-
scribes them as follows:
The bolsheyiks had moved out
in a hurry and left their possess
sions behind them. We moved in,
and the first thing We did was to

tssueD soap, and do the Old Dutch
Cleanser act"
y The Russians don't keep them
oiean, and the bolsheviks don't
keep them as clean as the Rus
slams, Mr.. Weeks says.
These barracks, solidly built of
brick. had great brick stoves, built
in. with walls two feet thick, reach
ing to the ceiling, to combat the
cold, while for outside protection,
the American troops were supplied
with sheepskin coats, moccasins,
and heavy socks and mittens.

were taken over from the Russians

ment.
THE barbed wire around the
prison enclosure was only a for
mality," says Mr.. Weeks. you
couldn't chase those prisoners
away. You have to worry about
getting your grub If you're outside
a prison camp in Siberia"
When Americans were put to
guard German prisoners, only two
were detailed to direct a great
number. but when the Russians
took charge of a like group of
prisoners, there were more guards
than prisoners. Mr.. Weeks &C
counts for this partly by the su-
perior respect which the Germans
have for Americans, and partly by
the Russians innate love Of max
ing display.
Prisoners Well Treated.
Some Of the prisoners had bet
ter time than many Of the Ameri-
can soldiers. Mr.. Weeks has seen
American soldiers from the guard
house building sidewalks to the
door of the German prison bar
racks. The treatment OF those I'M
fortunates who disobeyed rules was
severe in the extreme. Every two
hours at night, guard-hOuse pris-
oners were required to fall out in
front OF the barracks to answer
roll call, as one of their forms OF
punishment. They always were re-
quired to double-time wherever
they went. imposing a double
hardship on the sentry, with his
heavy rife, who followed them.
Sometimes they went for months
without fresh clothing or bath.
and their heads were kept con-
stantly shaved on account of
coolies. An enlisted man caught
with vodka or with a suspicion of
it on his breath, served three
months IN the guard-house.
It was after the transfer of the
27th regiment to a spot near Lake
Baikal. to guard a sector OF the
los miles of the Trans-Siberian
railroad, that Mr.. Weeks expert
ence presented some dangerous
phases.
He relates an incident when
American troops came near a ser
ious conflict with Cossacks, who
had stationed an armored train in
the sector occupied by the Ameri-
cans, with which they were going
up and down the line committing
crimes of robbery and pillage.
They were ordered to remove their
train within "a hours by the colo
mel Of the regiment. AS the time
drew TO a close, the Americans.
with guns stationed in trenches
surrounding the station, turned
them on the train, ready for the
signal to fire.
At this crucial point Japanese
troops appeared, claimed the train
as theirs, and removed it from the
sector. The Japanese said that,
had there been actual warfare be-

clothing, food or machinery.
They need education, too" he
says, "and while they go to church
about six times a day, and have
plenty of religion. they don't have
what should go with it-moral
judgment and sense of right.
