Lack Of railroad cars is the most

DIFFICLTIEs OF SENDING

En- Route to Omsk. Siberia, Feb. Is.
People have talked lightly OF send
ing an army of half million men
or more to western Siberia to battle

reason connected with this stipend

learned by bitter experience In the
war with Russia of the difficulties Of
Siberian campaign and would pom

army to the far Ural mountains. The
correspondent of the Associated
Press, as a passenger on a special
British military train bound for
omsk, the seat of the All-Russian
government. Is having a close oppor-
tunity to study the difficulties Of
transporting a great army.
We have on board company OF
splendid British troops recently ar
rived from India-men of the famous
Hampshire regiment-the territorials
or militia of England who offered to
90 to India to replace the regulars
and who serve there for two years.
Now the fortunes of war find them
riding across the barren lands OF
Manchuria on their way to the heart
of the Siberian steppes where the
temperature is forty degrees below
zero. Anxious as they are to return
10 their homes in England they fulfill
this new task gladly and light-heart'
edly. They are travelling in plair
