VLADIVOSTOK, Feb. 25.-Many
of the magnificent monuments of
Moscow, commemorative of emper-
ors and statesmen, have been de-
stroyed, says a refugee from that

The best government and private
buildings have been occupied by
the soldiers and workmen's coun-
ellis.

SERBIANS RALLY|NC
FROM WAR POVERTY

NISH, Serbia, Feb. IA. - Three
months of unremitting industry,
unhampered by Bulgarian and Aus
trian depredations or interference,
have enabled the Serbian people
to secure q new hold on life. With
the country entirely free of invad-
ers, the large peasant population
has succeeded in setting things in
order in surprising fashion, and
conditions should be almost normal
soon.
Large quantities of wheat and
other staples, which the shrewd
Serbian farmers hid from the en-
envy, have reappeared. At the mo-
ment the most pressing needs seem
to be clothing, shoes, fuel and
agricultural implements.
Apparently there is plenty of
money in the country, some of it
having come from Austrian and
German soldiers, who, it may be
said to their credit, paid for most
of the articles they took from the
Serbians during their occupation.
However the Bulgarians, who re-
Questioned almost everything they
required from the already strait
ened population, often paid nothing
for what they took. In the cities
most of the stores have no stocks
because they sold most everything
to the Austrians and Germans.
Fortunately the harvest last fall

SHE Is NEITHER
POOR NOR
RICH

Ell PASO, Tex, Feb. %. - Mrs.
Lpz Corral de Villa, wife of Fran
cisco Villa says she is neither rich
nor poor. A local paper recently
printed a story that Mrs. Villa,
who is making her home in San
Antonio, Tex, was in destitute cir
cumstanes because Villa was un-
able to send money to her from
Mexico. In a letter to the paper
Mrs. Villa denied the report and
said she was living in moderate
but comfortable circumstances in
San Antonio and was taking no
part in border political affairs.

in printed figures on handy
sheets.
One of them in eight hours han
died 10000 cards, compiling in
formation that would represent the
population statistics Of a very
stable American city. Their ex-
perimental use was commenced
after the 1910 census, but Mr..
Boiteaux has since devoted most of
his time to their improvement and
to the extension of their abilities.
The machines resemble in out
ward appearance a piece of office
furniture. Cards go into a metallic
magazine at their top, travel a few
inches on metal guides, come out
neatly stacked with the mistakes
of the punching machines, which
have merely human operators,
pointed out. The printed records
of the Is or 20 totals that the
punch marks indicate come out
from another slot, and the instru-
ment stands ready to repeat.
With these machines there is a
practical assurance that the publ
cation of the census, usually COM
ing out a long time after the enum-
GRAFTON, may be more quickly at
hand to guide the estimates of
governmental and industrial lead
ers, and generally guide and dem
onstrate the progress of national

Most of the passenger coaches

TRAINING OF FLYERS
At D. OF c. COSTS
GOVT$1,25O,OO0

BERKELEY, CAL, Feb. %. -
The government spent SALT to
train each flying cadet in his work
at the school of minitary aeronau-
tics on the university of California
campus here, according to figures
given out with the formal closing
of the school.
Approximately $~1,250,0O0 was
spent on the maintenance of the
school.
Over 5000 students graduated
from the school, prepared to be-
gin actual flying. This number
represents about IS per cent Of
the entrants, which authorities de-
clare is a record that is the high
est in the country.
In July the greatest activity of
the school was noted when more
than 1000 men were in training.
This number steadily decreased,
with the crisis on the western front
in that month, and only 40 remain
ed in the final graduating class.
Major Crane is the commandant
of the camp and will remain with
his staff until the disposal of the
military property is effected.

off almost every article Of value
they could lay hands ON but they
did not have time, owing to the
~suddenness of their retreat, to
take with them more than %
per cent of the available grain sup
ply.
Meat is abundant, though high
in price. Before the war it sold
for six cents a pound; it now sells
for Sc cents. Large numbers of
sheep raised in the mountains fur
nish not only a valuable meat sup
ply, but an abundance of wool
which has provided the peasants
with the only clothing they have
had in four years.
Serbia's most vital need is for
clothing. Even well-to-do persons
are shabbily or, at least, scantily
clad. The Associated Press corre-
spondent observed an army officer
of high rank dressed in a skirt
made of flour sacks. The little
clothing that may be bought is
held at prohibitive prices. The
ordinary peasant working costume
costs $3.50. shoes $50, underwear
of poor quality, $25, and thread
is priced at 81 a spool.

GOVERNMENT PREPARES FOR 1919 CENSUS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 21.-
With hostilities at an end, the gov
eminent is now laying the basis for
one of the greater of its peace
time tasks, the d~ecennial inventory
of the United States, its people,
lands, industry and livestock that
is called the census. Secretary of
Commerce Redfield the other day
signed the order that transferred
one of the largest of the temporary
war buildings put up in Washing
ton, that formerly housing the
army's department Of aereonautics,
to Director of the Census Rogers
and his staff.
Actually, the government be-
gan the job some months ago, as
sembling it's plans and forces. BY
law, the beginning of the census
period of 1920 is July 1, 1919,
though it will not be until a year
from April that the enumerators
will be set to work. 1t is then
that every individual in America,
or ONE acting for the individ-
ual, will be asked the series of
questions that must be answered.
There will be % of these ques-
tions in the 1920 census, according

Signing by the president of the
revenue bill puts into operation
machinery for collecting $4,000,
600 900 in taxes this year. High
er taxes are effective today on Ii
quor and soft drinks, including
near beer and grape juice, soda
water, mineral waters, tobacco and

Anticipating the imposition of
new taxes thousands of gallons of
whisky had been withdrawn from
bonded warehouses within a week,
with the tax paid at the old rate
of 1920 a gallon, to escape the
rate of $6.4O now effective.
Articles in the luxury" class
on which new taxes are effective
today include automobiles, pianos,
sporting goods, chg wing gum, cam
eras, candy, fire arms, slot ma
chimes, toilet soaps and art goods.
The tax is paid by the manufac-
turer.
The house today adopted the
conference report on the rivers and
harbors bill carrying $SS.000,000.
The senate interstate commerce
committee unanimously has order
ed a favorable report on the Cum
minis bill restoring the full rate
making power of the interstate
commerce commission. This plac-
.es the same authority in the COM
mission to revise, set aside and
suspend rates that it possessed

a recent announcement that salar-
les of officers and employees OF

VLADIVOSTOK, Feb. 81. = A
gloomy picture of the situation and
outlook in western Siberia and
Russia is drawn by C. L. Preston,
who recently returned from a jour
ney as far west as Ekaterinburg,
in the interests Of the Red Cross.
The Czecho-Slovak front, he de-
clared, is a misnomer, since there
is no front" in the usual accept
ance of the term.
There were Czech outposts in
widely separated locations and the
fighting was of a guerilla nature.
He said the Czechs were worn out
with long service under trying
circumstances and, in his opinion,
would fall easy prey to the Boil
sheviki if the menace of allied
troops were removed.
Behind the Czechs the country
was full of ex~-officers of the old
government, civil and military, who
had slipped through in disguise,
put on their long-discarded uni
forms and insignia and were bust
.ly plotting a restoration of the
monarchy.
Nobody, said Mr.. Preston, was
concerned with improvement of
the economic conditions. Railroad

yards are so severe that horses can
not be driven at all, and even NAL
amute dogs curl up in front of
their sleds rather than try to go
against the storms. At other
times the trail, made soft by thaw-
ing temperatures, will not support
horses, and it's slush snow balls
up" the feet Of the dogs so they
cannot travel. On such occasions
animals, drivers and passengers
have to stay at roadhouses until
there is a change to better wealth

Old residents say the weather
this winter between Seward and
Anchorage is the worst in their
memory. Heavy falls of snow,
terrific winds, frigid temperatures
and unusually warm spells of brief
duration have intermingled at in
tervals of only three or four days
apart since the middle of Deem

hours is not of %infrequent ccur-
renee. In places there are drifts
of snow as high as the tops of tel

ether refugees from Mexico VINO
are seeking to obtain guarantees
for their safe return. The an
nounced purpose of these meetings
is to send delegates to Mexico
and to the peace conference at

But the American government
agents have detected several polit-
ical agitators and former military
leaders of various factions among
the leaders of this movement and
are watching to see that the un-
ion is not converted into q politi-
cal-military junta for aiding some
military faction in Mexico.
Another organization, called the
Alienza Liberal de Mexicanas, is
also having meetings here and
has expressed a similar purpose.
This organization excludes all for
