1000 Murdered
by the BOlsheviki

Omsk.-Indisputable evidence of the
massacre by the bolsheviki Of more
than 1900 civilians in, and near the
town of Osa has been obtained by
Messrs. Simmonds and Emerson and
DIR. Rudolph Teusler of the American
Red Cross, who have just returned
from Perm, Osa and other re-occupied
Russian territory. Approximately ooo
persons were killed at Osa and l'oVo
In the surrounding districts.
Osa, which had a population OF H.
900, was so denuded Of males by the
bolsheviki that General Casagrande,
upon the occupation Of the town. was
obliged to telegraph to Ekaterinburg
for men to administer civic affairs.
In addition to securing verbal and
documentary evidence the American
Red Cross officials Witnessed the ex-
huming Of scores Of victims from
trenches, where they were buried
sometimes several deep In graves re-
vealed by the digging Of dogs.
The murders were without provoca-
ton, and the victims were largely of
the thrifty and intelligent classes or
servants of the church, which latter

TIPS PUZZLE FOR RICH GIRLS
Canteen Workers Don't Know What to
Do When officers Slip Them
Quarters.

New York.-Young women of rich
families who serve the officers canteen
at the Pershing club of the war camp
community service. Forty-fourth street
and Madison avenue, are perplexed as
TO what to do with the tips sometimes
left by officers.
How to act when an ensign or lieu
tenant hands one quarter is a puzzle
that has put wrinkles on the brows of
several of the junior league members
who wait on the tables. They do not
wish to humiliate an officer by refus-
ing his well meant gift, but of course
il Is impossible TO accept it. Many of
the young women have fathers who
could buy at least one battleship
apiece.
The trouble reached its climax re-
Gently. An embarrassed ensign left the
canteen after presenting two thin
dimes to the daughter Of steel king.
Puzzled at her manner, he sought in
formation from the woman In charge.

Aliens Quit Country

New York.-Enriched by war work,
aliens are leaving this country at the
rate of more than 1000 day, It was
learned here from custom officials, who
expressed fear that, with the POSSIBLE
ity that congress may limit immigra-
ton for the next four years, the United
States will face a serious labor short
age, instead Of a condition Of unem-
ployment.
Since the signing Of the armistice,
II was said, Italians, Greeks, Span
iards and Portuguese have been pour
ing out of the United Staes through
this port. Since November 1921 pass
ports have been vised at the custom
house, and since December, $1,000
aliens have sailed. Every ship clear
ing for Mediterranean ports has sailed
with full steerage, so that rates have
jumped from $40 to $50.
Custom officials estimate that an
enormous sum has been taken out of
the country since the exodus began.

less the neighboring nations do. Since
the Germans do not expect their neigh
bors TO depend on volunteers, plans
are being worked out for a new con-
scription army, serving shorter periods
and modelled more after the Swiss
than the old Prusslan army. The
militia idea is popular, but IS conSid-
cred idealistic.
The German army of interior de-
Tense, which probably numbers around
hundred thousand men, or possibly
a few thousand more, is an expensive
proposition. Volunteers have to be
paid well to keep them from being
Won over by the Spartecans, who offer
more money. Food and equipment Is
good.
The new army has rather slack
discipline, and none of the old Prus-
sian snap Is seen when officers APP

Ience are seen on every hand. The
German trooper has changed lot with
the revolution, and If appearances are
at all Indicative, the government
forces in Germany today are not to
be feared outside Germany.

Berlin.-Under the new republic the
departments of the army and navy
are no more, In name at least. The
republics name for them is defense,
and they are placed under charge Of
Gustav Noske, much trusted by The
government for his prompt action in
emergencies, and much hated by the
Spartacans for his relentless opposi-
ton when disorders break out.
Noske's appointment as head of the
navy, as well as the army, was regard
ed none too seriously. by NOske him
self, at least. When asked by q news
paper man what he expected to do
about the naval affairs of Germany in
the future, Noske laughed and replied:
"Why worry about naval affairs, when
we haven't any navy?"
There are still sailors in big num-
bers in Germany, however, and they
have been a problem. During the revo-
luton the sailors played an important
part, and most of them developed such
a liking TO land duty in Berlin and the
other big cities that they have refused
to leave for Kiel or any. of the har-
bors. Now the sailors are used in the
guard regiments all over Germany,
along with soldiers.
Big Army Disappears.
The German army is In process of
reorganization. Immediately after the
armistice the army almost disappeared
as an organized unit, and though there
were millions of men in uniform scat
tered all over the land, none was re.
spoCsible to anyone. and officers were
not safe in uniform. In localities the
soldiers Joined "Red guard" groups
and some served and others misused
their privileges. Thus the army as Il

1t was the announced intention Of the
bolsheviki to exterminate.
The evidence discloses almost I'M.
thinkable atrocities. A blacksmith. by
economies, had attained a shop. He
was required to pay 5000 rubles; be-
cause he could not, he was shot. A
man was shot because he lived In a
brick house. All attorneys and jurists
were killed, and doctors, whose serv.
ices were not required for the moment,
were disposed of in a similar manner.
A woman whose husband and two
sons had been seized applied to the
commissar for information as to their
fate. She was told they had been
taken to Perm. After repeating her
visit several times she was informed
that If she bothered the commissar
agaA she would be shot, as they had
been.
The body of woman was exhumed
and identified in the presence Of the
Americans as the wife of general
through Jewels sewed In the lining Of
her clothing, Of which relatives were
aware. Another woman was compelled
to fetch a lamp and gaze upon her
murdered sons for the amusement Of
the slayers.
A wife required to pay 1000 rubles
for the release Of her husband Dor
rowed 800 and paid 1t over; later she
returned with the remainder, and then
was Informed that her husband had
been shot. There were scores of SINH
lar cases. All were killed without any
form of trial.
The soviet called a meeting and pre-
pared lists of those to die. The houses
prescribed were visited by squads, the
doors were smashed in, and the vic
tins dragged to the edge of the town
and forced to dig their own graves.
Those who resisted were shot in the
| streets.
| A survivor testified that he had seen
men thrown into q pit and buried
alive. This testimony has been con-
firmed by bodies exhumed, the clenched
hands of which were clinging to the
mud at the bottom of the pit.

Depends on Peace Terms.
Germany's army is in a transitory
state. What it will become depends
upon the peace terms, the Germans
recognize. But there has evidently
been a change in idea in the govern
ment. Early in the revolution Ebert
declared himself against a conscripted
army, and Noske and Reinhard were
appointed to organize volunteer forces,
serving for short periods, to defend
the new government. As a matter Of

Money Raised by Lottery.

This brings us to Sir Hans Sloane,
where the chronicle usually begins.
Sir Hans was physician, naturalist,
and antiquary, and during his life
time accumulated an extraordinary
collection of books, manuscripts,
drawings, prints, together with col
lections of natural and artificial curl
osities. Toward the end Of his life
he offered them to the British nation,
provided the government paid his
executors some 10000, which he esti-
mated to be onefeurth Of the intrinsic
value of his collections.
To persuade King George II, so in
different to the importance of letters
and so misery regarding the expendi-
ture of money save for his own pleas

paid was no easy task, and when the
memorial was first presented to him he
remarked: 81 do not think there are
10000 In the treasury" Fortunately,
however, there was influence enough

the matter to conclusion. AS re-
suit, an act was passed through parlia-
ment authorizing the holding of lot
terry to raise 1900, 900, out of which
10000 should be paid to the executors
Of Sir Hans and the countess of Ok
ford, and an additional 10000 invest
ed at interest in the public funds to
provide for salaries and other ex-
penses. Beyond this, an adequate sum
was to be devoted to suitable build

passed parliament in 1853, and marks
the definite foundation Of the British
museum.

the history Of the British Museum
library with transaction when
took place between the British
government and Sir Hans Sloane In

valuable part Of the present British
