SIBERIAN POLICY
OF PRESIDENT
IS EXPLAINED
Military Forces Aid in Keeping
Sole Railroad Line Into
Russia Open.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Continu-
ance Of United States military aid in
Siberia to keep open the only rail-
road now available for reaching Rus
STA, is advocated by President Wilson
in communication sent to the senate
recently In response to a resolution
asking the reason for sending Ameri-
can troops to Siberia. the duties to be
performed there, and how long they
will remain.
President states, was announced on
Aus. 5, 1918, and was made in con-
junction with Japan and in concert
with other allied powers for the pri-
mary purpose of saving the Czecho-
Slovak armies. A secondary, but i'm
portant purpose was to help the Rus
sian people, who had fought on the
side of the allies for, three years, to
establish law and order and make it
possible for them to get essential
supplies.
III February. 1919. he continued,
Japan proposed the supervision of the
Siberian railways by al international
committee, under which John F. Stew
ems, an American railroad expert,
would assume the: direction of the
Russian railway service corps. A re-
cent reort from Mr.. Stevens shows
that on parts of the chinese Eastern
and Trans-Laikal railway, six trains
are now running each day, while a
short time ago they were only able
to run that number a week.
United States troops were sent to
guard the railways SO that the reor-
ganization planned by Mr.. Stevens
could be carried out. About 5000
American soldiers, under Gen. w. S.
Graves, are engaged solely in this
task, mainly around Vladivostok.
Their orders are not to interfere in
Russian affairs. Partisan bands with
no settled connection with any organ
lied government menace the railways
and must be held at bay.
President Wilson says the popula
ton Of Siberia and Koltchak people
look to the United States for assis-
lance, and that much help already
has been given.
If American troops are withdra wn,
the Japanese will require that M.
Stevens and his railway experts shall
be Withdrawn, and then chaos may b.
expected in Siberia

TRAINING CENTERS FOR

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The fed
eral board for vocational education
has established training centers for
tubercular soldiers in different parts
of the country. One of these is at
Rutland, Mass. Forty-four ex-serv-
ice men are taking training at the
hospital work shop. Mathematics,
English, drafting, gardening, poultry
raising, bookkeeping, shorthand,
chemistry and gas engines are among
the favorite courses for the conval-
escents, while diversional occupations
are provided for the bed patients. 1t
is interesting to watch the temper
ature and pulse approach normal
when the tuberculosis men begin the
curative work, but it is more inter-
esting to note the change in their
morale and their awakened ambitions.

Hundreds Of prairie chickens,
grouse and ducks died a sudden
death Tuesday, Sept. Is, the first
day Of the hunting season of 1919.
No estimate of the number of hunt
ers which made a trip to their
favorite hunting grounds can be
made, but it is safe to say that
those who did not 60 either did not
care for the sport or were i'll in bed.
Saturday. Sunday and Monday were
spent in oiling up the guns and lay
ing up a stock of ammunition for
an early start Tuesday morning.
Many parties left the city Monday
night so as to be there early the
netx morning. The autos were
loaded with tents, food and baggage
and trailing behind were the duck
boats.
The open saeson for chickens and
grouse lasts 80 days, until October
l6. Each hunter is allowed five
chickens a day, but must not have
more than three days total in his
possession at one time. The duck
season lasts until December 81.

Last weeks Strandberg Tri-
bune announced that about the
first of next month the paper
will be moved to Milbank. The
Tribune has been purchased by
a corporation composed Of Non
partisan Leaguers, and it was
believed that it was necessary to
have the organ of the league at
the county seat, and the office
will be located next door to that
Of the Herald Advance. AS a
business proposition it is pretty
generally believed that Milbank
could have managed to swing
along for some time yet with
the two newspapers it already
has, but the non-partisan leaders
of the state are expecting to put
a paper in every county of the
state, and it was decided that
Milbank was the proper place
for the Grant county organ. For
the present at least the Tribune
will be under the management
OF editor Holstein, who has had
charge of it since the founder of
the paper, Vernon, left for North
Dakota.
