Vodka is a pure white, innocent

Foley and Lynn Bell, both of Poca-

Many American dough-boys got to
the point where they could drink
liquid fire, during our occupation of
Siberia, however, as a substitute for
other amusement. The amusement
was in comparing the different sights
they saw while in vodka-sot 1 sup
pose. The doughboys are not vodka
hounds, let it be known, but ninety
per cent of them drank more, and
are drinking more than they ever
drank while on this side of the pond.
Kopeck Hill is so terribly rotten
that many, in fact. the largest per
cent of the doughboys don't go near
its festered limits. but vladivostok
has a galaxy OF places where booze
flows freely, where morals are at a
low ebb and where man can go to
the dogs quicker than any place out
side of his Satanic mjaesty's confines.
I'll write of these places next week.

their "gobs" always ready for a rip

Vladivostok is convenient for a gay
