Soldering in Siberia is mighty

says that as. with all groups Of SOL

"re-uped" for another years service.
Fortunate ones have found .barshna," :"
ali-the-same "mademoiselle." and per-
shaps that is the reason they like the
country Some have married Russian n
women.
Notices were posted, Murphy says,
warning that any woman found con-
sorting with American soldiers would
be punished with twenty-five lashes.
This very apparently discouraged the
interest of the Russian women in the
American soldiers.
Iaboring people thruout Siberia are
docile and apparently regard the
American troops in a friendly manner.

consider themselves Bolsheviki.
1t is still possible to get vodka, the

days the government sells it publicly,
cheaper than do the public vendors.

bottles that will hold several gallons.
