TEACHER TELLS
 OF B0LSHEvIKI

Omsk, Siberia, Mar. 4, (Correspon-
 dence of The Associated Press)-
 A Russian schooImaster, who was q
 prisoner of war in Germany, and who
 has arrived at Omsk, has given to the
 newspaper Zarya Q narrative of his
 experiences since reaching Russia
 which throws considerable light on
 the conditions in the Bolshevik zones
 of Russia. The schoolmaster said
 that almost all the released Russian
 prisoners were suffering from hunger
 and practically destitute of cloth.

 At first they were received with
 animosity but later the Bolsheviki
 organized the propagandist bureaus
 where socialistic literature was dis

 Meetings were held and offers were
 made to enroll the prisoners in the Bolshevik armies under the follow

 were offered from 1000 to 2.500O

 The schoolmaster said that the discipline in the Bolshevik army is exceedingly rigorous. For the least l infraction the soldiers are shot.

K. OF c. MAN
 HAD ]. 5. FLAG

Coblenz, Germany, Apr. 1.-(By aI.)-When the Seventeenth Field Artillery commanded by Colonel E. R. W. AIcCabe moved into the ancient fortress of Ehrenbreitstein where, for many generations, the imperial coIors Of the HohenzolIerns had waved from the great flagstaffs a defiance to the world, IL was discovered to the dis may of the new garrison that the unit did not possess a national standard to proclaim from the tallest parapet the American occupation of the Teu- ton stronghold.
 Couriers were sent to every shop in the city of Coblenz in a forIorn hope that an American flag might have survived the days when Germany paid honor to visiting official and military delegations from the Ameri- can republic. The search was fruit less and the formal occupation of the fortress seemed destined to be with out its chief ceremonial, the hoisting Of the coIors.
 But the couriers of Colonel McCabe reckOned without Secretary Michael DriscolI of the Knights of Columbus, of Danbury, Iowa. As a venture the messengers visited the big war service SLOIelOGSG OL WNlCn MT. DrlSCOll was tn charge.
 .'Yes, think I can fix you out all right" said the secretary. and in the depths of his private trunk he found his most cherished overseas posses sion, a huge American flag. This is the only emergency that could ever get that flag away from me-" was the admonition of the donor of the Colors.
 Then followed the ceremony of the mounting of the colors over the great stronghold. Troops in parade forma- ton, a big fleet of American atrplanes manoeuverinG in the brilliant sun shine, and the playing of the Star Spangled Banner by a regimental band proclaimed to the world the downfall of the ramparts which since their occupation by the Iegions ot Julius Caesar have been the bulwarks of monarchy.

HOW SICK ANIMALS
 DOCTOR THEMSELVES.

Few people realize how many ami nals are constantly getting hurt and sick. The wild animals seldom get sick from what they eat, but the dO- mestic animals frequently do. Wild animals get injured from fighting with other animals of their kind or in fights with animal enemies. In all eases, animals have a way of doctor ing themselves that ts remarkable.
 Animals suffering from fever eat nothing, keep quiet, seek darkness and airy places, drink much water and sometimes plunge into the water from time to time. When a dog has lost its appetite it eats that species of grass known as dogs grass" Cats also eat grass. catn!p, etc. when sick. Sheep and cows in the same circumstances seek out certain wild plants.
 If an ants foot is cut, other ants will cover the wounded part with a transparent fluid from their mouths. If a chimpanzee is wounded 1t stops the flow of blood by pl.cing it's hand on the wound or dressing it with leaves and grass.

SWISS STILL IN
 NEED OF FOOD

Berne, March 10 - (By MalI)- Wartime food restrictions still weigh heavily upon the Swiss and are eX- pected to remain in force for several months.
 The bread ration has been increas- ed to nine ounces a day and is eN- pected to remain at this allowance till after this years harvests. The cheese ration is nine ounces a month. Butter is only obtainabIe in the re- moter country districts. The sugar ration is IS ounces a month.
 There is a great dearth of milk and, although the ration is noninally a pint per day it is rarely possible to obtain more than half Q, pint. Tapi- oca, sago, macaroni. and many other similar articles of food are entirely lacking. Meat, though unrationed, is very poor in quality and cannot be obtained for less than $1.50 a pound.
 The restriction which most seriously affects the economic life of the coun- try and also the comfort of the inhab- itants is the reduced service of trains due to the coal famine. All express

Fares have been virtually doubled. The trains are packed. many Iong-distarce trav- elIers are obliged to stand in the cor riders all the way and the jOlting is violent owing 70 attachment to pas senger trains of freight cars which are shunted at the stations en route.
 The importation of coal into Switz- erland falls short of the necessary minimum by 10000 tons a month and this deficiency must be made good before travelling can become normal again. The locomotives of the Swiss State Railways are burning wood instead of coal.
 The war restriction on the use of gasoline is about to be removed. Its shortage since 1917 had been 50 great that the entire supply had to be re- served for the use of the army and for physicians in emergency cases The automobile had almost disap- peared from Swiss roads. Now a large purchase of gasoline from Bohemia will permit unlimited sale.

TODAYs ANNIVERSARY.

The first owner of the famous Kohl nOor or Mountain of Light" diamond was, according to legend. the hero Karna who is said to have owned the great stone some 5000 years ago. The Kohinoor was brought to Eng
 land 69 years ago tomorrow. and presented to Queen Victoria. It made it's first authentic appearance in his tory in the fourteenth century, when AIa-ed-din carried it to Delhi. It then weighed 793 carats. It appeared in the great diamond market of Golcon- da in 1850. The lack of skill of a Venetian Iapidary. HortensiOn Borg hese, reduced its weight to 279 carats. After the sack of Delhi the diamond went to Afghanistan. and belonged n turn to several Afghan rulers. Thence 1t came into the possession or tine Sikh chief, Runjeet Singh. Upon the abdication of the last ruler of the Punjab and the annexation of his dominions by the British empire, in 1849, the stone became the property of the East India Company, who presented it to Queen Victoria. Its value is estimated at $10 100000.

She was q farmer S wife and had been married about three years when her husband decid- ed to sell her on the auction block. This old practice. while it never had legal sanction, had been followed in the rural sections of England for cen turies. The auction commenced at noon on the appointed day, Thomson placing his wife on a large oak chair, with a rope around her neck He freely admitted his spouses faults. declaring that she had been to him "onIy a born serpent, a tormentor, a domestic curse, a night invasion. and a daily devil" He then pointed out her good qualities, including nov el reading. the ability to milk cows and to make butter. There were few bidders, and at length she was knock ed duwn to Henry Mears. who gave twenty ~hillings and a Newfoundland dog.

A good old Quaker was milking a COW whose lively disposition had often taxed his patience severely. The pail was nearly full of foaming milk, when, in some manner, the COW man aged to overturn it. The old man in righteous indignation snatched up Q near-by club to strike the exas- perating animal when he remembered the precepts of his religion.
 He dropped the stick, and in a voice trembling with anger, said:

ENGLANDLOOKS
 FOR LOW PRICES

London. Apr. 5.--tCorrespondence of the Associated Press) )-The minis try of reconstruction is convinced that, while prices in Great Britain may be expected to fall from the present war record. it is out of the question that they should fall to any thing like the 1914 level in the near future. With luck. the general level for the next decade may be only 25 to 30 per cent. higher"
 This interesting information is con- tained in pamphlet issued by the ministry and sold to the public. After pointing out that prices were rising before war was declared. it explains the various causes which have com bined to bring about the great rise Of the past four years. Reduced output, increased freight rates, limitation of imports and issuance of paper money are assigned as the principal causes.

WEEKLY REVIEW

NEW YORK, May 24-Activity in the stock market this week failed to attain the huge dimensions of the pre- ceding period, but was of sufficient volume and scope to make the trad ing again noteworthy.
 Paramount factors which guided the list through it's occasional inter vals of caution included the presi- dents message to congress, the re- markable foreign trade returns for April. further brilliant crop prospects, and many indications of industrial im- provement.
 The market received its greatest stimulus from the address of Ebert H. Gary, who predicted an era of greater prosperity for the steel and iron in dustry, extending, he believed, to var ious branches of the metal trade.
 Latest phases of the peace confer ence, greater ease of money despite the ten per cent Victory loan payment, and pronounced broadening of invest ment buying also served to establish the general speculative situation.
 Disappointment was felt at the fail ure of the railroad shares to make more substantial response to President Wilson's recommendations, but this
