SYDNEY, Australia, Jan. Is (bv
maiD Australians have learned to
appreciate the value Of the American
soldier In the world war, according to
the late Lieutenant Cecil Healy OF the
Australian expeditionary force. an in.
ternatfonal swimming chamnion who
was killed last summer in France
Lieutenant Healy, who was one Of
the best swimmers in the world over
the long and middle distance courses
competed at the Olympic games in
Stockholm. In a letter to a friend

amongst my coterie of friends that It
would be Yankee brains, Yankee
wealth and resources alone that would
enable us to stave off defeat.
ITO any group of soldiers that 7
happened to come upon in our camp
that were discussing the Yankees I
told that had made one of bunch
Of athletes who left Australia to CON-
pete against Americans at the Olym-
pic games. We were convinced, I
assured them, that the Yanks were
all talk, as was supposed. But 1 ex-
planned that after we had had an op-
portunity of seeing for ourselves what
they could do in the way of organiza-
ton, and had seen evidence of their
shrewd and businesslike systems, and
observed the fact that they were
equipped with everything that brains
could suggest and money buy; and
moreover, had met them as man to
man Tin most instances receiving a
sound trouncing at their hands,, we
began to regard them highly.
ultimately we returned to Aus

INTRODUCING

Bolsheviki literature is being distrib-
uted among Mexican laborers and la
Dor leaders, it is said, are spreading
the gospel by word of mouth. These
propagandists, according to reports,
base their arguments on literature
that is being brought into Mexico
from the United States by Bolshevik
agent, who is either Russian or Aus
trian.
According to the Excelsior, the
propaganda is being carried on Sc
cretly but actively, and that within a
short time the results will show Sew

adds, were inspired by the Bolsheviki.

HIGH PRICES
RESULTING IN
MUCH IDLENESS

COBLENZ, Feb. 16 Correspondence
of the Associated Press).-It will be
many years before prices in the Rhine
land will fall to a pre-war level, &C.
cording to German economists, view
shared by officers of the Third army
of occupation who have been detailed
to study the situation. Since the ar
mistice was signed there has been a
general increase in prices, with but
few exceptions to show a downward
trend.
In certain classes of the population
there was hazy notion that sudden
fall in the prices of all necessaries
would take place at the end of the
war. 1t appeared to be based on moth
ing more than an impression that con-
ditions in the coming peace time would
be practically identical with those be-
fore the war, and buyers of finished
iron products such as machinery, hard
ware, field and garden implements and
steel wire have not placed their or
ders. A consequence has been hesi-
fancy on the part of manufacturers to
make the effort to reach their old
marks Of production, incidentally leav-
ing unemployed thousands of dis
charged soldiers.
Reasons given why lower prices are
not to be expected are the increase in
the cost Of raw materials, the higher
wages demanded and the eight-hour
day.
Advances in the prices Of coal, coke,
steel, iron and lead were registered
on the first Of the year, making 1t rea-
sonably certain that still higher prices
will be charged for finished products.
On account Of the scarcity of coal
many factories remain closed with
out sign Of early reopening.

STRANGE EXPERIENCES
OF FRENCH SOLDIERS

PARIS, Feb. 10 Correspondence OF
the Associated Press) The adven
lures Of two French stragglers, Sergt
Lesquern and Private Levesque, who
becoming separated from their units
after the battle Of Charleroi, remained
in hiding for more than four years in
German-occupied territory, are told in
the newspaper La Victoire. In the
early days of the war civilians helped
the two soldiers, but as the German
domination became weightier they
took to the woods.
They made their home in the forest
of Sapogne, in the vicinity of Sedan.
Their dwelling was dugout, so con-
cealed that it was never discovered,
although the forest, which harbors
wild boar and other game, was ia
vorite hunting ground for German Of
ficers. The French stragglers lived on
wild animals, hare and other game.
One German who ventured into too
close proximity to their dugout is also
buried where he fell.
They made an attempt to escape
In 1915, but on the Dutch frontier they
were shot at by the German sentries,
and the sergeant was wounded, so the
two of them returned to their forest.
The severe winter Of 1915 brought
them terrible esufferings. They were
showed in and almost starved.
They owe their lives to an old Bel
CLAN poacher and smuggler who.
throughout all the years Of their ID
ventures, helped them with provt.
sions. They are now IN French hos.
pital, recovering from the effects d
their privations.

would seem that If the government
will thus help the Indians that it
should at least do as much for the
whites of Alaska, especially since 1t
will undoubtedly result in bringing
increased revenue to the Alaska rail-
road in which the government will
have invested $35,OOO,OOO or more.
On account of the isolation of Alas
ka, the great expense incident to ship
ping in stock, machinery, equipment
and supplies for the farmers, and
other hardships and difficulties not
experienced by the formers in the
States, the development of the agricul-
tural lands tributary to the railroad
will be exceedingly slow unless the
,agriculturalists are given government
aid. Many of them are anxious to
get a few head OF sheep, cattle, pigs,
chickens, ETC., in order to get a start,
but on account of the exorbitant
freight rates between Seattle and
Alaska and the initial expense Incl
dent to the purchase, it is utterly i'm
possible for many of them to under
take it. 1t is, therefore, suggested
that congress be asked to authorize
the of $4,000 for the purchase Of
stock, farming implements and ma
chinery to be sold to bona fide farm
ers on long-term payments of from
five to ten annual installments."

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 10 (by maiD -
Most of the generals of divisions of the

tended recent conference at the ma
tional palace with President Carranza,
to formulate campaign to suppress
rebels and bandits in Mexico long be-
fore the opening OF active political

suppressing all outlawry, both the
presidential campaign and the after
math will be without disorder.

INSIGHT into
CHARACTER0F
RUSS PEOPLE

ARCHANGEL, Dec. 26, via London,
Feb. 6 Correspondence of the Asso-
ciated Press) AN interesting insight
into the views of a Russian leader on
the troubles and failings of his own
people is given by President Nicholas
B. Tchaikovsky of the Northern region
in an article written for the American
Sentinel, the newspaper for American
soldiers, published at Archangel.
Writing for the members Of the
American expeditionary force, Presi-
dent Tchaikovsky said: 1T is true
that Russian culture is very recent,
and lacks the brilliancy and accom-
plishment that are so characteristic
of the large American cities. 1t Is
particularly noticeable that what we
borrow from abroad does not easily
adjust itself to our foundations. But,
as If afraid to be left behind by our
more progressive neighbors, we have
acquired this foreign superstructure
without having first properly prepared
the foundation.
"Thus we had brilliant electric light
ing in our capitals long ago, whereas
the peasants in the villages have only
recently ceased using wood splinters
to light their huts. Our universities
and scientists are we'll known through
out the world, while scarcely 80 per
cent of our country folk are able to
read and write.
"In our social and political life one
observes the same popularity. For
more than fifty years we lived under
rule of veritable slavery to bureau
Gratis, imperial gendarmes and police
being deprived of the most elementary
rights of citizenship. But at the same
time we used to have all shades of
political and socialistic doctrine, whose
opponents sought an immediate an
sWer to the social problems and the
adoption of ideal methods of distrib-
uting the wealth of the country.
'In word, we have been very anx-
ious to absorb the latest ideas of west
ern civilization without being at all
sure that there was room for them
in our own life. We have always
been more concerned with the affairs
of the wide world than with thes cry.
ing needs and faults of our own ma
ton. We have actually learned to be
Indifferent to our own national inter-
ests and ashamed to be patriotic.
Unfortunately, some Of our splen-
did natural gifts, our achievements In
art, music and literature, have given
some of us the conceit that we have
been called upon to teach other ma
lions how to solve their most difficult
and complicated problems. Thus it is
said that Lenine, according to his own
statement, undertook so daringly his
dangerous experiment with our Rus
sian affairs not so much for our own
sake as to teach lesson to all man
kind. Leaving aside his other mo-
tives, it would be difficult to find a
better personification of vanity and
conceit."
