Adding new element of mystery to
the case, Sanders charged that his

dered Sanders brother and who in the
last few months has posed as that
brother.
Sanders had heard his brother, who
left home in 1906 to inspect Colorado
mining property had been killed by the
companion with whom he left Hous-
ton. Last February Sanders received
letter purporting to come from his
brother, explaining the brother, Ron
aid, had spent the Intervening years
in Alaska.
Other letters followed and Ronald
then wrote urging George Sanders
daughters to visit him and his bride.
Marjory Sanders, Just out Of college
attempted the trip. She wrote two
letters back-letters which George
Sanders now remembers were un-
natural.
At the earnest solicitation Of Ron
aid and his BRIDE Sanders other two
daughters came to Oakland on June

card stating his two daughter had ar.
rived here, but has received nothing
further.
After Sanders had written several

The HumOr of The American Soldier Always PredGminates, Even If Has To Joke About His Own Wounds.

New York, Jan. 2.-(Correspond. ence of The Associated Press. s.)-"I went to France to land a hand and they took leg"
 He was a big lad from from a mid dle western farm, the American sold- fer who called out this jest to cheer his neighbor in the sick bay of the Empress of Britain, the first trans port to arrive here With Hitter cases from the American hospitals ill France.
 That is just sample of the never failing humor of these boys, rising above suffering, above helplessness, " said Miss Maude Kellam, chief nurse few days ago.
 'All the way over they yearned for a sight of the old girl in the harbor' ]" she continued, "yet when we came up the bay and none of them could get on deck to hail the Statue of Liberty as we passed. there were no com plaints.
 This is the spirit now but Pm afraid for the future,' said Miss Kel- lam, who was superintendent of nur- ses at the Colorado Training School before she entered the army service She urged women to prepare them selves for their part in the recon +struction period, not in the devastated regions of Europe, whose people, she said, preferred to handle the problem themselves. but here at home. There is plenty of reconstruction work for the woman who wants to help,' she asserted. "I'm afraid ou, enthusiasm is going to spend itself after year or so--just about the time our wounded soldiers are beginning to feel only bitterness at the thought of the missing leg.' Then they will need the women. 1 don't know just what the women will be called upon to do, but their work will turn up The boys will need their enthusiasm and sympathy then more than now"

St. Louis, Jan 4.-To determine the future policy of the American Red Cross in Siberia, George w.. Simmons of St. Louis, major i'll the Red Cross, will sail with a staff of four from San Francisco for Vladi- vostok on Monday, January 6.
 Major Simmons, who for a year and half has been manager of the Southwestern Division of the Red Gross. said that the American Red Cross went into Siberia at the re quest of the American government, acting for allied governments, to give emergency military relief to the Czecho-S Slovaks fighting their way out of Russia. The work consisted of clothing and feeding units oppos- ing the Bolsheviki and caring for refugees
 Whether this emergency has end- ed so far as the Red Cross is con- cerned will be determined by d sur- vey of conditions which may take three months. If the work is to be continued its extent will te decided upon by the commission.
 
 Czecho-Slovak question arose an cm- ergency Red Cross mission was ar ranged for by cable with Dr. Teus. Ter of the St. Johns hospital in To- kio, as its head. Five or six ether Americans, including Bishop Tucker cf the Episcopal church. accompani- ed him. The mission did spicnal work, Major Simmons said.
 Vast stores of clothing and nedi- cine and a little food have been shipped from the United States. This was to meet conditions until the al lies could take over the work. The Red Cross has expended $6.000,000 to date in this mission, Major Simmons 1 said
 From Vladivostok to west of the Ural mountains, where the battle line between the Bolsheviki and the Czecho-Slovak with loyal Russians and other alled contingents is now located, the Trans-Siberian railroad IS open and along this railroad six Red Cross hospitals have been es- abolished. It is from these that help mas been given to the adherents of the Omsk government, the present government of Siberia the military units, and Siberian, Armenian and other refugees.
 Major Simmons said before leav- ing St. Louis that he goes to Siberia iirst as assistant to Dr. Teusler and second to survey the field.

REAL ESTATE SURVEY
Assessments May Be Ordered for 1920
by State Commission

Real estate assessments may be or
dered for 1920 by the state tax COM
mission. Notices have been sent to
all county boards by the state COM
mission directing that survey of real
estate values be made at this time.
Under the state law real estate is
now assessed every four years. The
statutory provisions would call for an
assessment and new farm value classi-
fication in 1922. However, the state
tax commission is vested with power
to direct a special assessment and may
issue such an order this winter. High
prices secured for Kansas real estate
have attracted much attention and
selling prices of land have in many in
stances been far above the tax values
as secured by assessors in 1918.
