We have had a little trouble
with the Bolsheyiks since coming
here but we will soon put the
fear of God into them, Our

Of guard duty. Last winter we
did stunts that will be hard to
forget, for instance l went on
guard New Years night when
the weather was fine and came
off duty in snow thigh deep,
some climate, que no?
We had 522 german prisoners
to guard but were relieved last
week and sent into the interior
which is better than Vladivostok
The grass and trees are greer
and it looks mighty good.

Would Pool tho German Debt.-An

Would Pool the German Debt-An
interallied financial alliance Is strongly
advocated by Edmund Thery, the
French economist, in the Figaro. It
should take the form of q special or
ganization, he says, to receive for Joint
account all sums paid by Germany,
Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and Tur-
key, which it would transform into IL
quidation bonds, Ito be distributed
among the Allies"
N. Thery points out that after the
signing of peace the richest Entente
nations will seek to improve their none
tary situation and consolidate their A.
nancial situation as rapidly as possible
on gold basis. Such consolidation
would augment the difficulties Of the
less favored Allies in converting to
gold, sterling, dollars or francs, the
claims they recover from the enemy.
on which they count to pay the debts
they have contracted, either with the
weather. Allies or with neutrals.
Individual conversion of war dam
ages, it will thus be seen, says M. The
ry, would provoke between the En-
tente nations an antagonism OF inter-
ests which Germany would not fall to
profit by to try to elude wholly or In
part her engagements. Such competi-
ton between the Allies, he contends,
would be an objectionable mistake, for
it would divide them within a few
years.

Medical Examinations in Montans

Medical Examinations in Montana.
Opponents Of compulsory medical ex-
animation and inspection of school
teachers and children won q signal VIC
tory before the Montana legislature on
Sunday when the committee on edu-
cation voted unanimously to reject
senate bills No. 81 and 81, which pro-
vided both for the semi-annua medi-
cal examination Of all school children
with expulsion from school Of any who
refused to be examined or vaccinated
at the order Of the examiners and for
the examination - teachers, janitors
and others connected with the schools
or applying for positions in the school.
Roman Catholic parochial and private
schools were eliminated from the pro-
vision of the bills. This with the ad-
ditional fact that 1t was felt that such
a stringent law would make 1t very
difficult to obtain new teachers from
outside of Montana is believed to have
had much to do with the committees
action. Both bills were introduced
early in the session by Senator Ed
ward Nolan, one Of the state leaders,
but bitter opposition from all over the
state developed. 1t is considered sig
nificant that two members Of the COM
mittee on education are physicians.
There are still several. other medical
and board of health measures IN the
legislature, but none are looked upon
as so dangerous as the bills just kill

all as fine a picture as one could see

"blesses," reminding one that a cruel

in danger from air-raids by night and
