BOlsheyiki Peril
To the People of
Northern Russia

London, Sept. % (By The Associa-
ted Press).-A distressing picture Of
the fate awaiting the population Of
Northern Russia at the hands of the
bolsheviki, once all Allied troops are
withdrawn, is painted by the delega-
ton from the municipal and zemstov ,
organizations of the Archangel dis
trict now in England.
"The northern territory has done
all it can," said 2. Mamontoff, who
heads the delegation, ito form its
own army, but in spite of straining
every nerve, we have not the military
force to ensure our safety. To leave
the territory at such time, without
assistance, means that the allies
would be giving over the defenders
of the territory, together with all its
, democracy, to fire and sword. AS soon
as we lose the allied support, the
bolsheviki will bring up reinforce
ments for strong offensive and we
shall be crushed.
"The bolsheviki are well aware that
we have supplies OF foodstuffs which
they are vitality in need of. We have 9
good harvest tor the peasants, starv.
ed themselves to sow their fields
using garden grain for seed that they
needed for food. They will not sur.
render their dearly-won harvest with.
out struggle and that means 6
massacre OF the resisting peasants
by the bolsheviki.
Doubtless half of the peasantry
will be wiped out. All Of the politi
cal opponents of bolshevism will be
destroyed, along with their womer
and children. That is why we hav,
come to England to make this last ap
peal to the people of this country ane
to those of our other allies not to de-
sert US in this hour of our desperate
need"
One effect of the withdrawal vii
be, according to the delegation, Tho
total alienation of the Northern Rus
slams from the allies.

Fort Davis, Tex, Oct. MANY
ranchmen of the notorius Big Bend
region have an abiding faith in the
power of prayer and pistols. They
change from one to the other as the
situation may arise. Taken as whole
the men of the range-cowboys and
ranch owners of the wild and rugged
upper Rio Grande border-are pio-
us lot. They worship in the manner
of their forefathers. Their religion
is of the rough-hewn type, but never
theless they live Cody life al
though they may be called upon from
time to time to kill few Mexican
bandits or bring some cattle thief to
justice.
In all the country there is no more
interesting meeting than that which
is held in August of each year in a
beautiful spot in the Davis Noun
tains, at the foot of Livermore Peak.
This annual gathering is known far
and wide as the 'ranchmen's camp
meeting" The riders of the range
flock to the camping place by the
thousands and for season drink in
the religious teachings that the diff
ferent speakers expound from the
arbor- shaded pulpit each day.
$4,000 Raised at Meeting.
1t was during the progress of this
camp meeting that mounted cour-
Ter rode into the little glen where the
morning service was in progress re-
Gently. This booted and spurred mes
senger quietly dismounted and whis-
pered to H, N. Fennell that Mexican
bandits had captured two American
aviators and were holding them for
$4,000 ransom. When this message
was delivered to Fennell, J. w. Mer-
rill was leading the meeting in pray
er. Fennell passed the news of the
kidnapping along and it was whis-
pered from one worshipper to another
until it reached Merrill. He arose and
made statement of the case. The
time for action had come, he said.

Texas Ranchmen Have An Abiding Faith
In Power of Prayer = Likewise Pistols;
How They Raised $4,000 In Ransom Case

|, 81 propose that we raise the $15,-
900 here and now" said j. w. Epsey
ranchman of Fort Davis.
This proposition met with hearty
and immediate response. At the
suggestion of Fennell several of the
ranchmen signed their names to a
note for $4,000 and few hours lat
err the cash had been raised on this
note at the bank at Maria, and Fen
nell and Capt. Matlack were on their
way to deliver the ransome money to
Jesus Renteria, the bandit leader.
Camps Thirty Years Old.
The camp meeting in the Davis
Mountains had its origin more than
80 years ago, its founder being the
Rev. w. B. Bloys, a Presbyterian mis-
sionary, whose life work among the
ranches and border communities won
him the love OF the men, women and
children among whom he labored.
He found that these people lived SO
far from a church that they were de-
MED the spiritual influences that came
from regular attendance upon relig-
ious service. He decided that if the
people could be brought together once
a year in a great open air religious
festival, they would obtain spiritual
uplift that would carry them through
the intervening months. He put his
plan into practice, and year by year
the camp meeting has grown in
fame until it now draws an attend
ance from the most remote parts of
the Big Bend region, and all over
the ranch territory of West Texas.
The site of this camp meeting is
more than SO miles from the nearest
railroad point. In former years the
trip to the spot was made on horse
back, and in slow-moving prairie
schooners, but with the coming into
use of the automobile the journey is
now accomplished in big tuoring
cars. The gospel is preached al
these meetings in a simple way. There
is no mincing of words.

II do not mean by this, that inef-

instances where plants are being run

years hece. 1t will simply be our
purpose to keep pace with the devel-

Doom, Holland, Oct. 17.-"The
House of Doorn," as the estate re-
Gently purchased here by the former
German emperor has been called for
centuries, lies right in the midst OF
this clean, slow-moving little Dutch
village, whose 5000 or so inhabitants,
while not at all excited about it, are
looking forward with considerable IN
terest to numbering among their
burghers one William Hohenzollern,
formerly of Potsdam.
The villagers along with most per-
sons in this section OF the country, be-
lieve that he is coming here to settle
down for life. If that be his in
tention he has selected as voluntary
substitute for st. Helena one Of the
prettiest spots in Holland. There is
nothing in the estate ne has pur-
chased or in the surrounding COM
munity to suggest place OF exile.
Doom, like Amerongen, is one OF
the few villages in Holland located on
sea level. Instead of canals and
dykes and the monotonous flat land
occupied by sleepy-looking black and
white cows and pompous, tat Wind
mills which form the unchanglng
scenery of most OF Holland, the coun-
try about Doom while generally flat,
to be sure, has here and there a faint
suspicion OF a hillock, and the white
stone or pink brick roads wind quite
frequently through forest land most
of it the private presence OF the
Dutch nobility.
Hundreds of automobiles pass
through Doom daily during summer
season, for it is on the main high
way from Amsterdam and Rotterdam
to Arnem, which passes the Hohen-
zollern estate. From this road
through a long avenue OF stately
trees, is visible one side Of line
House of Doorn." There is also al
most constant procession OF blcyc-
ling tourists, ana the two main no
tets, with their wnlte-painted little
veranda cafes, and the 'uenslons," OF
| boarding houses, do rushing busl-
ness all through the season. In TACT
cooking for summer tourists seems

To one who has never had the good fortune to have an acquaintance with Williamsburg one might easily obtain an erroneous impression when one studies the map of Kentucky.
 Williamsburg is the county seat of Whitley county down in the south eastern corner of the Blue Grass State where the Cumberland Mountains ramble around at will and help to sep arate Kentucky from Virginia and Tennessee
 One can hardy help recalling the wonderful tale of John Fox, Jr., and the wanderines and doings of the Lit tie Shepherd of Kingdom Come, comes to mind without effort, and places him in q receptive mood for the romance that visit of Williamsburg will dis pei
 From a scenic standpoint he will not be disappointed. Nestling down amid the foothills of the Cumberland q range, with the Cumberland River piercing wondrously beautiful valley end adding to the beauty Of the land.
