What's Doing in
the Great Country
of Siberia is Told
Most Entertainingly

Omsk, Siberia, Feb. 12.-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press. y
Siberia, which has forced world at
tention, by reason of the important
political events there, includes all the
Asiatic possessions of Russia with the
exception of the trans Caspian and
trans-Caucasian regions and the gov
eminent general of Turkestan whose
capital, Tashkent, was captured by the
bolshoviki and whose American vice
consul, Roger C. Tredwell, was ar

Since the Monaghan invasions in the
thirteenth century, Siberia has been
the home of many tribes, descended
from that race. To the foreigner the
Tartars are perhaps the most interest
ing. Their great center is Kazan,
though the national Tartar council,
which, like Ukraine and other regions
of Russia, seeks the developments of
its national aspirations" is now To-
Gated at Petropavlovsk, not far from
Omsk. This is on account of bolshe-
vik terrorism.
The Tarters are true followers of
Mahomet and their mosques are found
in almost every city. They are esti-
mated to number 100000 in the dis
tricts of Kazan and Crimea. They are
keen seekers after education and a
great many Tartar boys and girls re-
ceive lessons in French, English and
German from foreign instructors in
places like Kazan, Samara and Ufa.
The last two of these places were oc-
cupied several months ago by the boil
shevik armies. The Tartars have an

French girls who have become Am

ficers of the American expeditionary

The romances are in most cases very
similar. A soldier would be billeted
with a French family member of

age. Together they would .delve into
the intricacies of the French language,
sign language being promptly super
seeded by a combination of Anglo
French jibberish.
The clean cut, healthy physique Of
the Americans, their politeness and
generosity would appeal to the heart
of the French girl who saw in the
American the realization of her
dreams. AS a rule, the Americans
also made no secret of the particular
sympathetic feeling they had for the
French girls and so as a natural Sc
quence, marriages resulted.
Many such pairs now are puzzled
whether the wife should accompany
her husband to America or the hus-
band should make his home in France.
1t is expected that fully fifty per cent
of the benedicts will adopt France for
their future home.

prohibition upset Frances wine trade.
.The American market for wines
closed, the French exporters of cham
pagnes and other wines seek another
market. This will be found in Ger
many, according to Lucien Fontaine Of
the Paris chamber Of commerce.
eff there is not sufficient market in
Germany, we can go to Holland, Den
mark, Austria and the Balkans, said
NJ. Fontaine. eve can find the mar
l,et for the suppressed American out
let in Europe, I think.
"The expectation of wine is not go
ing to be such hard problem to solve
at this time for we have not been pro-
ducing nearly as much wine during
war as we were before it.
"What are Americans going to do ?"
asked M. Fontaine of the correspond
ent. "You know that all these soldiers
will miss the French wine in America.
Do you not think that Americans will
notice the situation worse than the
French? Perhaps all these soldiers
had betted stay here, eh ?"
Prohibition of the importation into
America of alcoholic beverages will
deprive France of commerce which
reached in 1916 more than $3,000,000.
Before the war, the business was val
ued annually At more than $1,000, 600.
