 The correspondent declares that he was unable to convince the leading Turks of the complete victory of the allies and Of the definitive crushing of the German military power, and adds that this is due to the fact that the allied troops did not enter Stam- bout with flags flying, because the all lied officers did not install them selves as master in the different min isterieS, and because the military au- thorities did not take over all the administrative office and police the city.

Many women have come to know that sex isn't the reason for all back aches, dizzy headaches and urinary disorders. Men have these troubles, too, and often they come from kid ney weakness.

A Visit to Irkutsk

F,n route from Vladivosrok to Omsll, Russia, to visit the headquarters of the All-uRssian government, an As sociated Press correspondent, cross ing Siberia in mid winter, stopped at Irkutsk, on the shore of Lake Baillal, where the Bolsheviki and CZecho-SIo- walks fought in the street a year or more ago.

 Irkutsk is of considerable military and political interest because it has definitely marked the westerly limit of the Japanese occupation of the great Trans Siberian railroad, the westerly limit of the zone of influence of General Semenoff, the Cossack leader, and the beginning of the sphere of territory dominated by the All Russian government at Omsll headed by Admiral Kolchak.
