RUSS ARMY OF Y0LUNTEERSlS
 INTRENCHED

LONDON March 12 (Correspon- dence of the Associated Press).-I Fresh from Odessa, an Englishman whom the correspondent met at the British foreign office, has given to the Associated Press the first com plete account that has reached Lon don of one of the most remarkable developments of the struggle in Rus sia against Bolshevism. It Is the story of the volunteer army organized by General Alexieff, and now com manded by General Denikine, which in a year has grown from handful of homeless men, devoid of equipment and supplies, into military force which has reconquered large DOT tion of Southern and Southeastern Russia, suppressed the disruptive ele- ments in the region, and set up working civil government.
 "No one over here," said the trav- eler, "seems to realize that in the South of Russia there is a small force of men which, under the banner of the volunteer army, and in the cause of United Free Russia, has made against overwhelming numbers of the red ter ror' most gallant stand"
 The volunteer army, he continued, has been recruited from several classes and from every part of Russia. Fighting against great odds, it has paid big price. Twice it has met defeat in campaigns on the River Ku- ban, and it's losses included it's lead CTS, Alexieff, Korniloff and Markof, and 30,00O volunteers and Cossacks.
 'The army" he said, had whole battalions formed of officers. The first Korniloff regiment, now reduced to less than five hundred fighters, has had passing through its ranks more than five thousand men. The "Regi- ment of Death" has lost 5000 over similar period.
 'To me, an observer, it has been a miracle how the volunteer army ever got any recruits. There was no CO., ercion. The recruits came voluntarily, knowing that their lot was most likely to be a wooden cross or the life of cripple.
 "Today the volunteer army has cleared the Great Belt of Russia by it's own efforts and the help of its neighbors, the Don Cossacks, and holds the territory stretching from the Black sea to the Caspian

SEATTLE WILL
 PUT WINNING TEAM RACE

SAN FRANCISCO, April il (by As sociated Press) The Purple Sox, the cognomen by which the Seattle team of the Pacific Coast Baseball League is to be known, is not going to take any chances with untried players, ac- cording to the manager, Bill Clymer. According to reports, Clymer is backed by more available money than any other manager in the league, and he has been given full discretion to spend it in acquiring men who will make up a pennant-winning combination.
 Seattles list of players as at pres ent made up is composed almost en- tirely of veterans of the game who have made their mark in one or more of the baseball leagues of the country. The roll contains such well-known names as those of Moose Marshall, former Southern leaguer; Grover Land, veteran of several leagues; Falkenburg and Mains, ex-big 1eaguers; Bowman, an A league player; Pat Eastley Marty Kavanaugh and others.
 According to one of the veteran coast sport writers, indications are that with the present lineup of play CTS the Seattle team is going to be lacking in the hittinig department, notwithstanding it's array of tried talent. This critic goes so far as to say that there are not more than two or three of the men who will be able to land in the 300 class, in which he includes Jimmy Walsh and Joe Will holt. Of the others he says: Tt is doubtful if there is another man in the whole squad who will wallop the ball for anaything like that figure, and, without taking away one bit from the worth of these two splendid outffeld- CTS, the fact remains that there are

market for the sale of your produce
within short distance of your farm
home.
@. How many acres will my farm
contains?
A. This will depend upon the To-
cation and kind of farming you en-
gage in. For general farming from 40
to 80 acres each, live stock from 80
to 100 acres. fruit farms Is to 20
acres, and truck from to 20 acres.
@. 1 don't know anything about
farming, but would like to get a farm
home. How will I learn to farm?
A. Competent instructors in farm
practice will be stationed on each pro-
ject to teach men like you just how
to make success of farming
@. You say that this plan depends
on Congress passing this bill. Then,
why are you asking me these ques-
tions now, before the bill is passed?
A. Because Congress has asked the
Interior Department to make a pre-
liminary investigation of possible set
Elements throughout the country, and
also wishes to know whether, if con-
struction of these settlements is au-
thorized. the soldiers. sailors, and ma
rines would be interested in securing
work and homes on these settlements.
O. Can / get any further informa-
tion about the plan?
A. Yes. Fill out the post card
on the last page of this booklet and
mail it. 1t doesn't require any post
age. Your name will then be on file
in the interior department. SO that
you can be notified later if the plan
is started. 1t is not possible now to
say when this information can be
sent you, and you should, of course,
in the meantime not sit idly by, but in
stead accept the best employment that
now presents itself. You are urged
on your return home to get in touch
with the u S. Employment Service in
your locality and with your local
council Of defense, both of which or
ganizations will gladly give you ad-
vice and assistance in securing en-
ployment now.

| that many of the famous mines o1
the world broke those who first at
tempted to bring them to financial
success. If today you were to ad-
wise widow to put her savings in
any one of the three magnificent mines
that I have instanced, you would, in
my opinion, be an unwise counselor,
because looking forward, not back
ward, for ten or twenty years, they
would represent speculative use of
the widows savings You might be
sagacious in using your money for
such purchase, because you could
take the relatively small rick for the
sake of the probably large gain, but
the widow would be better advised to
buy Liberty bonds.
'This investment idea, of minimiz-
ing risks and limiting possibilities,
would soon cause mining to die for
want of breath. Before a profitable
outcome is assured every mining en-
terprise must pass through several
stages of speculativeness as surely as
a child must take the chance of bumps
and bruises, of measles and mumps.
"Of well-conducted mining ven
lures it can be said that they meet
with measure of success as large
as, if not larger than, an ordinary
enterprise. I make no
apoligy for mining, it has been-and
is still-a glorious adventure for the
youth of the world, for those young

ing we owe the exploration of the
Tar corners of the earth and the de-
1elopment of it's waste places"

EXTRA SESSION,
MIDDLE OF MAY
CABLE FROM PARIS INDICATES
THAT WILL BE THE
DATE

PARIS, March 21.-(By Associated
Press. "A special session of both
houses of the American congress
probably will be called to assemble
about the middle of May, the date
when President Wilson hopes to re-
turn to the United States.
Senators Hear Rumors.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-From
some sources not revealed those SEN
ators who are still here-and they
are many--got tip today that an
extra session of congress may be
called by the end of April. The in
formation came to them in such a
that it is sound. In consequence,
plans for going home once more are
disturbed. Senator Poindexter had
expected to start for home Tuesday,
but this may interfere.
Jones on Speaking Tour.
Senator Jones was not in town to
receive the tip, he having been out
on tour making prohibition
speeches, beginning at Milwaukee and
ending this week in Maine, but it
may disarrange his plans to go to
Panama at the end of the month.
Senator Borah, who returned today
from preaching the so-called perils
of a league of nations as set forth in
President Wilson's draft, is some
what disturbed by the tip and may
have to change his plans about go
ing to the west coast. However, he
is determined that he will make
lot more speeches anyhow in the mid
die west and as far as Kansas, for he
has many invitations to speak and
yearns to accept them.
People Positive in Views.
Talking Of his most recent trip into
upstate New York, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois, he said today:
Everywhere they were large
meetings and very evident profound
interest in the subject of the league of
nations proposal. People are becom-
ing more and more interested. They
are very positive in their views that
the two propositions, namely, the
peace treaty and the league consti-
tuition, ought to be separated and this
is true alike of those who favor and
those who oppose the league plan.
"My observation is that the league
grows in disfavor as it's details are
studied and become understood. No
doubt exists in my mind that a ma
jority of the people favor dealing
with the league of nations proposal
solely on it's merits, that it should
be dealt with deliberately and ought
not to be hurried by any coercive
methods"

WALLACE-MOSCOW TO
DECIDE CHAMPIONSHIP

The score of Wallace and Sugar
City was 81 to 13. this afternoon, in
favor of Wallace Having played
three games yesterday, Sugar City
was unable to keep up to it's stand
ard today.
This leaves Wallace and Moscow to
play the finals tonight.
Moscow high school qualified for
the finals in the fastest, hardest
fought game of conference, by slip
ping 32 to % count on the Occur
d'Alene quintet this afternoon.
For Moscow Fox and Keane were
the bright stars, but the whole team
played so well that it was hard to
pick many individual men.
Hunter, Harmon and Marker look
ed best for Coeur d'Alene.
The game looked like Moscows in
the first half, the score ending 81 to
IA for Moscow. Game opened with
ball see-sawing up and down the floor
but Fox, followed by Nelson, started
the scoring, and the Muscovites held
the lead we'll, though only by hard
In the second half Coeur d'Alene
played better ball, nearly tying the
score, and taxing the local men to
the utmost to keep ahead.
Moscow high school was "there"
with the continued pep, keeping up
roofing with college style.
Their yells and cheering probably
were big factors in the Moscow score
in the finals.

accustomed to the spasmodic fighting.
When shooting begins the people dart
into dOorways and peep out appre-

snipers. Then they go about their
business as though nothing had hap
pened.
