GENERAL RELIEF
PROGRAM ENDING
Last Shipments of Supplies From America Europe Are
Now Being Made; Chd-Feeding Bureaus Continued

New York, July 3.-The general
relief program of the American Re-
lief Administration which began last
November the great work of caring
for starving Europe, is approaching
its end. Last shipments of supplies
from America are being made and
food at present in transit and that
provided for in connection with the
terminating of the work is believed
to be sufficient to carry Europe
through until the next harvest.
Despite this approaching official
termination of it's activities the
American Relief Administration will
continue to remain in Europe for
some time to continue the supervis-
ion of the child-feeding bureaus now
furnishing daily supplementary
meals to 100000 children until in
dividual nations are themselves able
ia take over active charge.
The total number of supplies dis

loads worth $685., IT'S, 900.
Much of the success of the Amer
lean Relief Administration in Eu-
rope is attributed to the strict code
to which it's field workers were
pledged and which demanded that
each and every member of the ad-
ministration should abstain abso-
lutely and entirely from any COM

should in no way represent private

BOLSHEVIK REIGN
LIKE A SCOURGE
UPON BIELEBEI
Wholesale Murders Occur
During Occupation of
Few Months
Blu Associated Press.

Bielebci, European Russia, July 3.
The reign of the Bolsheviki
passed over the people of Bielebei
like a scourge. The Bolsheviki oc-
cupied Bielebei for several months.
The correspondent of The Asso-
ciated Press visited the town within
fortnight after their evacuation.
The people were just beginning to
readjust their domestic and govern
mental affairs. Refugees were re-
turning to view the wreck of their
homes. They were veritable wrecks
for the Bolsheviki had occupied all
vacated houses and had carried away
or destroyed most of their contents.
An elderly judge of the district
court, Professor Paul Blumenthal,
long a resident of the United States,
who left upon approach of the Boil
sheviki was so overcome with grief
over the fate of his native town that
he wept.
Many persons had disappeared and
1t was well known that many had
been murdered. The corpses of VIC
tins are being discovered. The cor
respondent followed a stream of
men, women and children which
flowed out across the fields toward
the edge of a scraggly wood. There
under the overhanging bank on the
edge of a gravel pit they were ly-
ing. a tangled heap of bodies, ap-
parently as they fell or had been
thrown, with no attempt at burial.
Dead Arc Robbed
The bodies were mostly those of
young or middle-aged workmen.
From each the boots and most of
the outer clothing had been removed.
OF some the skulls were crushed, of
others the faces were disfigured as
though by gunshot at close range.
The crowd on the bank above the
grewsome pile appeared fascinated.
They silently made way for a group
of Americans. including Consul En-
bry, from Omsk. and two corrcspon-
dents, and watched with interest
while they photographed the victims.
A nicely dressed woman and little
girl walked into the pit to get
better look at the figure of blond
young girl which Law partly un-
covered close under the bank.
The body was perfectly preserved
by the cold and lay with arms bare
and crossed as though the girl might
have been sleeping. The face, which
was not disfigured, was that of an
intelligent. pretty girl. Toward dusk
the body was removed by relatives
who had come from Ufa. She was a
high school girl from that town who
had been abducted by the Bolshevik
commissar when Ufa was evacuated.
Close by was the body of another
woman.
When the Bolshviki entered Bic
lebei the government of the town
was taken over by Revolutionary
Committee of Communists" There
was formed Committee of Inves-
tigation' under the presidency of
one Welt. a Lett. One of the first
acts of .his committee was to shoot
the president of the former local
county zemstvo as a counter-revo-
lutionary. The latter was i'll at the
time and had to be carried out to
his death in a chair. Twenty men
were shot and in addition many
Mohammedan priests. member
of the Investigating Committee
boasted that he shot one priest be-
cause he was too long over his
prayers, while the committeeman
waited to take him.

ANY one who says that we will

olden DAYS who said that iron ships
would never work." asserted Com
mander Read.
Describing his experiences on his
flight from Newfoundland to LISBON,
Commander Read predicted that in
the future long distance planes
would be much larger than the NC
boats.
Answering his own question as to
whether the results obtained from
the fight were worth the expense.
by asserting that IAN immense
amount of information concerning
seaplanes and operating over the sea

cured, Commander Read added that
he would not TRY to estimate the
more intangible results of the in
creasing prestige to the Navy and to

NneteenY YearOd Girl Spends Hours Daily Developing Art
Writes Letter to President, Presenting Portrait

Philadelphia, July S.-Long years
of illness have left her tongue twist
ed so she has difficulty in articulat-
ing; her limbs have been affected by
rheumatism, so that walking is not
an easy matter; the long, slender
fingers have been knotted and mis-
shapen and within the last year they
have become utterly useless. But
the years of suffering have not
dauted the spirit of Rosalie Freed
man nor dimmed her ambition to
become an artist.
In a dingy corner of an upstairs
cafe that forms the most spacious
part of the Freedman home, at 1871
Race street, nineteen-year-old Rosie
has worked for more than TWO
months painting a portrait of Presl-
dent Wilson, holding the paint brush
in her teeth.
Members of the family each after
noon placed the paint box, the cup
of water, brushes and the water
color pad on the table before the
girl, and she has done the rest.
With the material fiat on the table
before her she sketched the face OF
the President, mixed her water col
ors and painted a remarkable por-
trait. without touching her hands
TO the material. Tediously, labori-
ously, but altogether joyously, the
girl worked with the pencil or brush
between her teeth, her head bent
close above the paper.
Send Portrait to President
The portrait now is completed. 1t
has been framed and will be sent
this week to President Wilson with
a letter which the girl herself has
written as she held the pencil in her
teeth.

feature. Last evening the activities
opened with a service for the de-
mobilization of the service flags held
on the Dickinson College campus.
Tomorrow the great historical pa
geant will be staged in the special
arena on Biddle Field.
The service last evening was
unique. There was a preliminary
procession with the service flags OF
some S5 churches, lodges and in

guard. of honor of 10 men. They
marched formally to the Dickinson
Campus which was specially decor
ated for the occasion. The services
were held in front of the Old West

Cumberland County men have gone
out to wars for a century.
Rev. +. L. Coblentz presided. The
address to the men was delivered
by DIR. Leon Gushing Prince, OF
Dickinson College. Cumberland
County war historian. His address
paid n tribute to the men and ex-
pressed the sentiment of the affair.
I'VE are proud of you collectively
and proud of you individually; proud
of the high repute you gained in the
performance of difficult and danger
Gus duty, proud of the splendid pa
triotism you so consistently dis
played. Mother Cumberland who
sent you forth with her benediction
and her prayers, halls your safe and
honorable return with glad thanks
giving and welcome back again to
the fold of her citizenship, you who
have never been absent from her
heart" 1t was singularly fitting
that DR.. Prince should make this ad-
dress as he delivered the farewell
to Carlisle men when they left for
service on the border in the present
war. Lieutenant Rippey 7. Shear
er presided.
The service for the DEM obiliza-
ton of the service flags was then
carried out, the rolls of the various
flags being called while one repre-
sentative flag was formally demob-
ilized in its entirety. Following the
service there was a band concert on
the public square and the formally
illumination of the decorations.
To-day was the great parade which
assembled shortly after noon. Major
f. r. Plank was commandant. There
was a detachment of commissioned
county officers, followed by the men
of Company G. 112th, Co. F, 103rd

Divisions and other soldiers divided
by units with men who served in
various commands in one group. In
all about 1000 of the 1900 men
whom Carlisle sent into service were
in line.
In addition to this division OF
honor was a division composed OF
Carlisle Fire companies with visitors
from Enola, Mechanicsburg, Ship
pensburg and Newville. The final
division was made up of Liberty
Loan, Red Cross, Navy League, War
