Control of China's
Great Iron Fields

Shanghai, May 30.-For months
Japanese interests have been work.
ing in their way to gain control over
the second of China's great ore de-
posits in the Yangtsze Valley, situat-
ed near Nanking at Fenghuangshan.
An agreement is reported to have
been reached which at last turns
over to Japan, the iron fields in spite
of the bitter opposition of the Chin
ese people.
1t is understood that the Minister
of War and the Okura interests sign
ed an arrangement iE' Peking, in the
usual regular manner now charac-
teristic of Sino-Japanese transac-
tions. Not only does it give Japan
one of the best situated ore regions
in China for exploitatior the initial
article of the agreement, as it has
leaked out, provides for the taking
over by the government of all small
mines being operated here by Chin
ese subjects, and the cancellation of
any such contracts as have been
made with foreigners by these CHR
csc.
This marks the end of a long
struggle which the Okura interests
have waged to oust Chinese and for
eign interests from the development
of these mines lying along the right
bank of the Yangtsze, deep water
being available for all-year ship
ment to Japan.
The agreement consists of seven
articles, providing for a capitaliza-
ton of Yen 100, 900, 900 under Japan
csc control, the sale of one-half the
output to Japan, and all works and
subsidiary enterprises - paving the
way for extensive Japanese penetra-
tion of Kiangsu and Anhwei.

RED CROSS GIRLS
BUSY AT WORK
Help to Care For the 10000
Refugees At That
Place


Tomsk, Siberia, May 30.-The re-
fugees at Tomsk, the great university
center of Siberia, who are mostly
from European Russia, are estimat-
ed to Eumber 10000.
Into this district of hardship and
suffering the American Red Cross
has come energetically and success
fully. When four American girls
reached Tomsk, and organized Red
Cross work here, typhus fever was
spreading rapidly and all of the
places where the refugees massed
were points of infection and dissent
Iation.t 1t was useless to distribute
clothing or attempt feeding unless
means were first devised to stop the
spread of the deadly epidemic.
The Red Cross, now has taken
over eighteen barracks, into which
the refugees have herded, and each
of these barracks will be cleaned and
disinfected in turn, their inhabitants
meanwhile being housed at clear
ing station. This station is provid-
ed with baths and disinfecting ap-
paratus for clothes and has dispen-
sary and simple hospital facilities.
Under the direction of the Red
Cross unit, there has been establish

city gave rent free, a large we'll

number of sewing machines-Ameri-
can made. The Red Cross has ac-
cepted the offer of the Tomsk Uni
Versity medical school to turn over
its clinical hospital. American doc
tors will come in later.
All the Red Cross work focuses on
providing immediate relief to meet
the emergency until the refugees can
become self-supporting. Employ
ment is difficult to obtain. However,
plans are being developed to provide
employment for the women and get
the children to school. 1t is expect
ed that this spring, a large proper
tion of the idle men can find work
either on the farms or on the TrarSs-
Siberian railroad. Tomsk has a
number of factories, but owing to the
breakdown in railway transportation,
many are closed because they can
not get materials with which to
operate.

RED CROSS NOTES

Gem County Red Cross chapter de-
plores the fact that it has fallen short
OF its quota of old .clothing by more
than half. This is Gem county's first
offense, and another appeal is being
made As you, housewives, continue
with your housekeeping and the
changes of clothing, you will no doubt
find many articles which you can
spare, and which will give comfort to
some war-stricken persons if you will
but contribute. These garments will
be sent to needy in various European
countries, excepting the Central Pow
ers. A box will be placed outside the
Red Cross rooms in which bundles may
be deposited. If you have no way to
deliver your donation, notify Mrs
Cllck or Mrs. Barber and they will
call upon the Boy Scouts to- collect
your packages.

Back to their homes and loved ones
here, but Traitor never cared,
But when he saw his dollars gone,
twas then that he despaired.
He used up lots of pencil stubs and
sheets Of paper, too,
Just trying then to find the place rs
dollars had slipped through,
And when he found that they were
| gone beyond recall, he sighed,
But just when he was in despair,
twas Peter stood beside
The interest from his bond he loaned
to help his unwise friend,
Then Tommy sid that Peter knew the
wisext way TO spend.
To which class, now, do you belong7
The don't cares, won'ts or wills!
To hide your money, spend, invest /.
where twill pay the bills?
These Victory Bonds are without dorbt
the best Investment going;
We need to buy them just as much as
when wars winds were blowing.
For while we're getting back to peace
these bonds will come in handy.
They'll furnish music TO the tune Of
Yankee Doodle Dandy.
The Peter Patriots are the kind who
stand up straight and tall
When the music Of our national hymn
Is ringing through the hall.
The Sammy Slackers are the kind who |
stand up to the hymn,
But have to lean against chair-no |
patriotic vim.
But Tommy Traitor is the kind who
opens up his eyes
And gazes round at all the crowd and
asks in some surprise:
What's the tune they're playing now?
Some soldier home this noon?
Now, amt that fine! never dreamed
that they'd be here so soonl
8ut we must make them welcome
home with music and with noise.
Oh, III be on hand all right to greet
