SIBERIA IS HOME
 OF MANY TRIBES OF
 WANDERING PEOPLE
Tartars Are Among the Most Interesting, Be- cause of Character
 and Habits
By Associated Press

Omsk, Siberia, February 12.-Siberia. which has forced world attention by reason of the important political events there, includes all the Asiatc possession of Russia with the exception of the trans Caspian and trans Caucasian regions and the government general of Turkestan whose capital, Tashkent, was captured by the bolsheviki and whose American vice eounsul Rober c. Tredwell, was ar rested and left to languish in prison.
 Since the Mongolian 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 interesting. Their great center is Kazar, though the national Tartar council, which like Ukraine and other regions of Russia, seeks the devel- oIments of it's national aspirations,' is now located at Petropavlovsk, not far from Omsk This is on account of bolshe- vils terrorism.
 The Tartars are true followers of Mo hamet and their mosques are found in almost every city. They are estimated to number 1,60O,000 in the districts of Kazan and Crimea. They are keen seek CTS after education and many Tartar boys and girls receive lessons in French, Eng fish 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 bolshe- vik armies. The Tartars have an oval face. black eyes, placed obliquely, and their skin is brown. Their costume Is unusual, the distinguishing feature being their coiffure over which is worn tight fitting calotte or skull cap.
 A considerable number of Tartars have in the Altai mountains on the frontier of China They are still nomads and given over to idolatry. Many of them worship the sun.
 The people of the Mongolian race inhab- iting Russia, either European or Siberian, should be generally divided into groups. The Finnish group includes Films, Es- tonians, Mordva and Cheremises, The Tartar group is composed of Tartars and smaller tribal peoples.
 An important nomadic Mongolian tribe is the Kirghis, who live in the steppe region of Akmolnsk and Semipalatinsk. They aggregate more than million ot both sexes, speak a Turkish dialect and are devout mussummans. They are chief ly cattle raisers.
 The Iakouts inhabit the region of Or kutsk, near Lake Baikal, and speak a language principally Turkish but partly Mongolian. They are idolatrous and live by the hunt and by the raising of cat tie.
 In the province of Tobolsk, and gen. orally in the north, even up in the Arctic

ocean, are found the voguls and the Os- tiacks. They descend from ancient tin- uish branches. Although in principle com verted to Christianity, they have no real idea of the Christian religion, and as m ancient times, practice Chamanism, the religion of their ancestors. Still other tribes are the Teleouts on the plateaus Of AItafs. the Burists in the trans-Baikal district. the Nanchus in the Amur, and the Samoyedes on the Arctic borders where they engage in the raising of rein deer.
 In the large cities like Harbin, lrkutsk and Omsq, Americans are struck by the large number of Buriats and Tartars who are drivers of public droskies. They seem to speak the Russian language indiffer> ently and apparently hardly know the streets and different quarters of the city. They are distinctly Mongolan in type and have flat noses
 The present population of Siberia is es- tirnated at 10.O00,00 as against total Russian population of perhaps 1s0, 900. Despite the numerous races and tribes mentioned above, the population of Si beria is mainly Russian, formed of peas- ants who migrated from European Rus sia when Siberia was reconquered and to scme extent of the descendants of the un- happy people who were exiled to the frigid zone for political conspiracies and crimes

AMERICANS IN THE
 BRITISH HOSPITALS

London, March 13.-The total number of American soldier patients in hospitals III
 Great Britain during 1918 was 47,S62. About one-fifth of them were wounded or in- iured, the remainder i'll. When the armls-
 tice was signed, 9S10 Americans Ill and wounded were being cared for in Ameri-
 can hospitals here, says an American Red
 Cross report.
 When the United States entered the war
 the only hospital beds available for Amer ican soldiers were in two or three Amer ican Red Cross hospitals which were then being used for British troops. So rapidly were provisions made by the Red Cross that by the time American troops began | to pour into France and England the sup ply of American hospital beds was ample | It was only during the influenza epidemic | last fall that the demand exceeded the supply In October and November many
 cases had to be sent to British hospitals. where at one time the number of Amerl- cans cared for reached 55S4
