ROLLING STOCK IS
FROM REDS

OMSK, Sept. 27.-Ninety per cent
of the railroad rolling stock in the
Perm, Ekaterinburg & Cheliabinsk
districts was pulled out before the
territory was given over to the Boil
sheviki. according to General Jack
of the inter-allied technical COM
mittee, who assisted in the evacua-
ton. Over 10000 freight cars and
approximately GOO locomotives were
saved.
The railroad bridge over the
Kama at Perm, $40 yards long, was
put out of commission by the ST.
berian military before leaving. 1t
is not so seriously damaged. how
ever, that it cannot be easily re-
paired. One complete span was
dumped into the river.
The Kama fleet, 80 vessels, sew
eral of which had been converted
into gunboats but later dismantled.
was accidentally burned.
General Jack left Perm four
hours before the Bolshevik shells
began to fall in the town. With
him came Otto T. Glaman, Ameri-
can vice consul, who had been asked
by the Russian authorities to re-
main at his post as late as possible
for the moral effect or his presence
on the population during the days
of evacuation. General Jack was
loud in his praises of Glaman for
valuable assistance rendered him in
keeping trains moving.
The peasant population as we'll
as the bourgeisie fled before the
Bolsheviki advance. Families loaded
their possessions onto carts or box
cars and took the road east. Every
country boad leading out was filled
with these carts moving in ara
vans, leading cows and horses,
often carrying pigs and fowls. 1t
was not unusual to find a family OF
four or five crowded into a box car
with all their domestic animals and
household goods, bound eastward
with no fixed destination.
Practically no stocks of merchan-
disc were moved. The railway ma
chine shops were left intact as were
factories of all sorts, NJ effort hav-
ing been made to destroy them as
would probably have been the case
if evacuating to a foreign foe.

made a deep impression OF its recip-

interest, delightful humor, absolute
fairmindedness and exactness of
narrative" an opinion which was
shared by Senator Lodge and Elihu
Root both of whom later joined
with Roosevelt in buying a silver
loving cup and sending it to Sir
George as a token of their apprecia-
ton. Roosevelt, his ~biographer
says, was always on the alert for
writers of only 'even moderate
fame" and of encouraging them
with friendly letters and invita-
tons to visit him at the White
House or Oyster Bay.
The books that made the presi-
dent happy covered a remarkable

BERLIN, Sept. 29.-To conserve
Berlin's coal supply a move will be
made to change the closing hours
for cafes and restaurants from
1880 p. m. to an earlier hour not

restaurants will be restricted in
their use of light and Berlin will
have to expect a material restriction
before the winter so that coal

CINCINNATI, o., Sept. 27.-The
home grounds of the Cincinnati Ma
tionals, winners OF the National
league pennant, which is known as
Redland Field, will seat approx
mately $4,000 persons, and accom-
modate about $4,000 when the To-
cal team plays the Chicago White
Sox, winners of the American league
race for the worlds series cham
pionship honors.
The permanent stands seat $4,000
but by the time the first game of
the worlds series is begun, new
seats for 5000 more persons will
have been erected. In addition fans
who are not fortunate enough to OBJ
tain coupon tickets for seats will
find space for about 5000 persons.
Early in August when Cincinnati
played the New York Giants in
what was considered by many base
ball followers as the crucial games
in the pennant race, slightly more
than $1,000 persons were on the
ball grounds. From this it car be
seen that there will be no difficulty
for at least $4,000 finding vantage
places to view the games.

SQUIRREL CACHES ARE
ROBBED BY FORESTERS

MISSOULA. Mont, Sept. U.s.
Squirrel caches of pine cones are
sought each year by foresters in
Montana in gathering cones for
planting purposes. The work this
year will begin about October Is.
Sometimes a single squirrels
cache will yield as high as Is or
20 bushels. though usually the yield
as about five bushels. The squir-
rels store the cones in damp places
to prevent drying and the seeds
falling out. About 100 pounds of
fir seed and SO pounds of larch
seed will be gathered this year.
Plans which had been made to
gather about 1000 bushels of white
and yellow pine cones were given
up when scouts sent into the district
reported there would be no crop.
Most of the larch and fir cones will
be gathered near Hcugan and Libby,
Montana.
Larch and fir are much
harder to gather than other kinds,
because they are so small that as a
rule the squirrels will not store
them for the winter, preferring in
stead the larger white and yellow
pine cones.
After the cones are gathered they
are taken to the seed plant where
they are dried in a kiln for two
days and two nights. They are then
run through large drums which
shake out the seeds. The largest
seed plant of the entire forest serv-
ice is located at Priest River,
Idaho. The cones gathered this
year will be taken to a small seed
plant e Iron Mountain, Mont.
The seeds are finally taken to the
Savenac nursery of the forest serv-
ice at Hangar and planted there.
When about three years old they
are removed to the forest for
planting.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Delving
into the mine of 10000 letters
which Theodore Roosevelt wrote
during his public career, Joseph
Bucklin Bishop, the Colonel's BIZ
ographer, in the October issue of
Scribner's magazine, brings to light
a number of gems" in the intimate
correspondence between the former
president of the United States and
Sir George Otto Trevelyan, Bart.
o. NJ, English statesman and au-
thor, with whom the great Ameri-
can enjoyed a are friendship cover
ing 20 years.
Mr.. Bishops paper, the second of
the series, entitled Roosevelt and
Trevelyan," reveals the many-sided
Roosevelt as IAN Unsuitable reader
of books" his warm sympathy for
authors and his broad and profound
knowledge of ancient and modern
literature. Even amid the cares of
the presidency, Mr.. Roosevelt, it is
shown, maintained a regular corre-
spondence with leaders of literary
and intellectual life both in this
country and Europe. In Sir George
Trevelyan, a nephew of the his
torian Macaulay, he found a man
%singularly responsive to his own in
tellectual tastes and knowledge. The
correspondence began when he was
governor of New York and contin-
ued until a few months before Mr..
Roosevelt's death.

to hold the presidency at the cost

TRAINS RUN
ON SLOW SCHEDULES

LONDON, Sept. 27.-British trains
are slowing down and in some in
stances hours are being added to
journeys.
This is particularly true of the
trains going out of London. The
pre-war time of a train from Lon
don to Birmingham was two hours.
Now it Is two hours and a half. To
Liverpool the pre-war time was
three hours and 35 minutes, now it
is four hours and a half.
The northeast coast has suffered
severely. The Scotch express serv-
ice, formerly the best of all, is now
looked upon as quite the worst. Fol-
example the journey from Euston
station to Aberdeen, which during
the railroad race in August 1895
was accomplished IN 8 hours 80
minutes, now occupies nearly IA
hours.
The trains which carry pleasure
seekers to the coast resorts in the
south also have slowed down, and
some of the best have disappeared,
never to return under government
control, many persons believe.
Opponents of government control
point out that only one company
has emerged from the war with an
improved service-the Southeastern
& Chatham. AS long as any n
can remember the Kentish lines
were spoken of with ridicule and
abuse, but for the summer of 1919
Kent is the only part of the country
enjoying an express service which is
better than the best provided before

PARIS, Sept. 27.-As a sequel to
the capture of Minsk by the Polish
army, the American Red Cross has
authorized the sending of a field
unit into the city from it's head

plies for the new work are being
furnished from the American Red

Reports from MinsK say that peo-

BUDAPEST IS
HUNGRY CITY

BUDAPEST, Sept. 25.-This
probably is now the hungriest of
the great cities of Europe. From
France eastward there is a gradual
tightening of the belt and an in
~creasing absence of nutritious food
until here there is a dearth of fats
of any kind.
- On meat days n light ration of
tef, mutton or yea of poor quality
is to be had at the midday meal in
the larger restaurants that remain
open, but on such days supper is
meager. Tonight at the largest and
most fashionable hotel in the city,
supper consisted of a green pepper
stuffed with rice and tomatoes,
boiled spinach and a fragment of
poor pastry.
The Rumanian occupation made
harder an already serious situation.
The Rumanians scour the surround
ing country for supplies. Inter
ruption of railway traffic. due to the
coal shortage is another factor. AS
this is written Hungary is passing
through the governmental crisis that
followed the resignation of Arch
duke Joseph as chief of state and
this, with uncertainty as to future
developments, heightens the gen.
eral depression of this once gayest
of cities.
The magnificent streets present
blocks of great shops with shut
tered windows. Only here and there
is a store open and usually it's
poorly filled windows represent
about it's stock in trade and at ex-
orbitant prices despite the low
value of the kronen. Few of the
restaurants and cafes that once
made Budapest famous for food and
music and %splendidly dressed people
are open and idle and poorly
dressed crowds fill the popular
streets.
The factories are closed for lack
of coal and raw materials. More
than 100000 persons have flocked
to the city from the surrounding re-
gions. The streets are filled with
soldiery, both Hungarian and Ru-
manian. and detachments of the lat
ter march continuously through the
city.
One custom still survives in
spite of want and general dreari-
ness of the city. That is the after
noon promenade on the splendid ter
race overlooking the Danube, but
the poorly dressed throng is a
ghost Of old Budapest and there
is a striking apathy and sadness on
the faces of the promenaders.
From its terraced height across
the Danube the magnificent palace
Sks down on its changed city, it's
ypacious apartments now occupied
by government officials. In one
splendid suite of rose brocaded
satin and gilt the in~ter-allied mill
tary mission sits, and General Band
holz, the American member, writes
on a rosewood desk that once was
used by Emperor Franz Joseph.
