POOR OPINION
OF RUSSIANS
Local Man Home From Year
With American Army in
Siberia.
Barkemeyer Travels II, 900 Miles
From Station at VladivOstOk
to Home.

After spending the past year in 81
IBERIA with the American expedltlonary
forces Alfred A. Barkemeyer returned
to his home in Great Falls Wednesday
with poor opinion of eastern Russia and
it's republicanism, but better OPINION
of Montana and the United States.
To reach his home the local soldier
Travelled 1000 miles from his station
at Vladiyostock.
Morality and sanitation among the
Russians is on much lower level than
Barkemeyer was in the ordnance de-
returned service man. In many eases
men and women use the same public
baths without even the one piece bathing
suit to clothe their figures.
Friendly with laps.
Conflicts between the Japanese and
American soldiers reported in this coun-
try were the exceptions to the general
friendliness which prevailed among the
members of both forces. In many, cases
the Japs and Yanks co-operated with
splendid spirit. :.
IBERIA were probably the finest appearing
soldiers in the allied forces, in the opin--
ion Of Barkemeyer. They also proved
good soldiers whenever the occasion
arose.
Most of the work done by the Ameri
cans and others from the allied countries
consisted in patroling the railroad on
the Trans Siberian line.
Poor Railway Service.
If Americans are inclined to kick on
railroad service in this country they
should travel on this road to learn to
appreciate American lines, he said
Russians have no real conception of
democracy, freedom to them means idle

Barkemeyer was in the odrnance de-

fore being sent to Siberia he served in

STUDENTS Will
AID RED CROSS
Commercial College Girls Agree
to Join Tag Workers First
Day of Drive.

Girl students at the Great Falls Com
merical college will aid the Red Cross
roll call as workers in the big tag day
on the principal streets Of the city
Saturday afternoon. November 8.
Upon the invitation of the county
chairman the college students agreed to
form team for the sale of dollar
memberships on the first day of the city
drive
The high school senior class girls and
other student groups in the city are ex-
peeted to follow the lead of the COM
mercial college students and aid in the
big tag day which is expected to reach
every person in the downtown district
that day
Under the present plans a group of
prominent Great Falls women will
canvass the office buildings Saturday
and this group will continue the street
sale Monday and Tuesday.
Sunday November will be devoted
to reaching the church members of the
city through the cooperation of local
ministers. No other relief organization
except the Red Cross could request the
clergy to assist in membership
campaign, roll call officials feel. But
because of the non-religious character
of the Red Cross organization and work
the committee believes that the great
est mother" can appeal to the ministers
of the gospel to interest all true
Christians in the association. This is
especially true locally where the Red
Cross will handle the work of the as
sociated charities this year.

RED CROSS AIDS
IN EMERGENCIES
Disaster Relief Record Of Big
Association Shows Action in
13S Catastrophes.

Preparedness for disaster relief on
scale measured by the vast organization
of the American Red Cross is being
undertaken as one of the important feat
ures of the peace program, for the sup
port of which an appeal has gone through
the country for a record membership
for the Third Red Cross Roll Call,
November to II.
In the 3s years since the organization
of the American Red Cross it has par
ticipated in the relief of $50 disasters
at home and abroad and has expended,
or directed the expenditure of more
than twelve and one-half million dollars
in this kind of work alone. An average
of dozen disasters a year-calamities
too large for local relief measures to
suffice-is shown by Red Cross records
since 1905.
During 1918 and 1919 the Northern
Division has administered relief to seven
distinct disasters in the four states of
its territory. Tornados, floods, fires and
drouth, have brought suffering to COM
munities in the Dakotas. Montana and
Minnesota for which Red Cross relief
was necessary.
A report just issued by the national
headquarters. shows 1917 to be the re-
cord disaster year of the world. In this
year Red Cross relief mitigated the suf-
ferings of the victims of twenty
separate calamities.

AT INFORMAL DANCE
Crowd Attends House Warming
at Montana Distributing Com
pany's New Quarters.

There was jolly crowd at the dance
given Wednesday evening as the stellar
feature of the opening of the new busi-
ness quarters of the Montana Distribut-
ing company at 721-723 Central avenue.
Several hundred visited the dancing floor
on the second story of the building dur
ing the evening and practically every
body took part in the dance.
Straiton's orchestra provided the
mlsic. The big hall was decorated in
halloween colors and made an attract
i've appearance and lived up to the COM
pany's claim of being the biggest dane
ing hall'' in the city. The floor proved
to be good for .1ancing, although it was
put down and will be used for business
room for the company's business.
Officials and employees of the COM
pany welcomed the visitors and showed
them through the big building. The shoe
department WAS open as was all other
portions. Punch was served through
out the evening.

station, and it also carries a full line
of shoes and rubber footwear.
More than 1000 persons enjoyed the
hospitality of the entertaining firm A
large amount of flowers was presented
to the company officials By the North
western Storage Battery company.
Owing to the fact that so many more
people attended than could get in and
dance, officials Of the company said they
might give another dance in few days.

GROUND SOAKED
OVER FOOT DEEP
More Snow Out Agawam Way
Than for Two Fears Says
Whiting.
Milwaukee Official Says Prohi-
bition Has Increased Eff
cheney of R. R. Employees.

There is more snow along the Mil
waukee railway line between this city
and Choteau and Agawam than there
has been for two years. according to
Colonel G. L. Whiting, superintendent
OF the Montana division of the Milwaukee
road. Colonel Whiting made a trip
over the Choteau line Wednesday to
look over the company's property, re-
turning to Great Falls for the night. He
reported that at the stations along the
way he had been told the farmers are
delighted with the conditions and that
where examination had been made dis
covered the ground has been wet down
more than foot.
Conditions along the Milwaukee rail-
way line to Choteau and Agawam seem
satisfactory if one is looking for ground
to forecast good crops next season. said
Colonel Whiting. AT several points
along the road there were drifts of snow
six feet deep, but fortunately they were
not hard to remove because they had
not become packed. We got through all
right. The snow is fine thing for the
country"
In discussing conditions generally.
Colonel Whiting mentioned the fact that
operating organization and he was asked
if he had made any observations as to
whether prohibition was having any eff
feet on the working forces. He replied
promptly to the question by saying:
There is no question but what pro-
hibition is having a great effect We are
benefited much by it because we keep
cur crews together much more easily
than in the old days when there was
drinking and carousins when the day Is
work was over. The men keep sober
now, get little money ahead. have
greater respect for themselves, and they
want to and do stick to the work much
better.
'Foremen in the shops as we'll as
those in charge of work along the lines
comment frequently on the changed con-
dltions. The men are easier to direct
and they do better work and do it more
easily. We also are getting a better
class of workmen and larger per cent
of native white men. Prohibition has
helped to reduce accidents for accidents
are the product of carelessness and neg
lIgcncc. and liquor was promoter OF
both those qualities. Sober men think
quicker and more accurately than those
using liquor. Workmeu everywhere are
benefited by prohibition and their saw
ings are being reflected in the increased
bank deposits. It is a good thing for
everybody

PAVEMENT WAVE
FOLLOWS THAW
Wooden Blocks in Local Streets
Hump and Buckle From
Moisture.

Great Falls streets appeared as
though an earthquake had shaken the
city Wednesday afternoon. Hundreds Of
square yards of wood pavement had
bumped and cracked under the expan-
sion of the thaw following the freeze.
During the afternoon Il employees Of
the street department were kept busy
attempting to level the raised blocks.
But just so soon as one section had
been torn up and adjustment made to
permit the blocks to rest flat on the
base another section was discovered in
street officials the workers did not gain
on the uneven pavement during the day ::
just as much buckled while they were
working as they repaired during the
afternoon. On the majority Of local
business streets red lights dotted the
thoroughfares last evening, marking the
Wavy pavement
The exceedingly dry weather Of the
past summer drew all the moisture from
the blocks and when the rain and snow
Of the past week fell, the paving acted
like a sponge and absorbed large
quantity Of water Water also rested in
the spaces between blocks. When the
temperature dropped the blocks froze
and then with the thaw the expansion
joints were not prepared to take UP the
increased space 50 pressure forced up
the blocks into small mounds or domes.
A large part of the pavement which
buckled Wednesday was laid either five
or seven years ago and has given no
trouble during this period, according to
street officials

TOUGH KID FAILS
TO PEACH ON PALS
His Own Offense Established,
He Refuses to Identify 9th
ers Implicated.

The cynic who occasionally arises to.
remark that the ancient adage concern
ing honor among thieves is myth would
have had his faith in humankind restored
had he been present Wednesday when
Chief Of Police Marcus Anderson was
interviewing youngster some 10 years
of age on the subject of broken windows
at 427 and 4251a Eighth avenue south.
That the boy had heaved at least few
of the rocks causing the damage was es-
tablished by the chief after the suspect
had done deal of straightforward lying,
but when it became certain that no ad-
vantage would result from further denial
he, to prove both his toughness and his
loyalty to the gang calmly stated to the
head of the police department:
'.- you, chief, | broke some of
those windows, and III pay my share
but that's all you'll find out from me-"
And that was all the chief did find
out. The lad became a very silent oyster
when an attempt was made to learn from
him the names of his companions in
crime, and when he was released. under
the law that prohibits the detention of
minors under II years of age by the po-
lice. he alone knew who had been impli-
Gated with him in the breaking of the
windows.
