Chicago, April 3.--The baking in

ries out its demands for abolition OF
night work, according to leading mas
ter bakers.
The national headquarters here Of
the bakers and confectionery work
ers' international union OF America has
sent an address to every local in the
country urging that formal demand for
abolition OF work between lip. m: and
5 a. m. be made when wage scales for
the year are to be presented TO en-
'ployers on May /.
Each local will be permitted to take
such steps as it seems necessary to
enforce the demands.
In vigorously opposing the demands.
master bakers assert that 10 per cent
of bakery goods is produced after mid
night, that the public demands fresh
bread each morning, and that The
change would greatly reduce output or
neccessitate costly expansion of plants
and machinery. In either case. they
say, the cost Of the 100000 loaves of
bread produced daily in Chicago would
be increased 20 the consumer and that
other cities proba bly, would follow the
same course.
To this the union executive board re-
plies that similar objections We're adj

sought abolishing cellar bakeries.

.soLsHEvlk ARMY SYSTEM
Forces Consist Of 10000 Men Divided
Amono Fifteen Armies.

Berne, March 10.-IBy Mail. ]-The
armies under the command of the boil
shevik government in Russia comprise
approximately 100000 men but only
about $50, 900 of them are actual COM
batants, according to information re-
ceived here from sources usually con-
sidered reliable.
These forces are divided into fifteen
armies Of 1900 combatants each
Twelve of them are described as COM
pletely organized. Each army consists
of two or three divisions and each
division OF two, three or four regi-
ments. The number of officers and
men in each regiment varies from
few hundred to two thousand.
The First army is under command
of General Michael Touhatchevski,
who, until the bolsheVik revolution
took place, was a simple lieutenant in
an infantry regiment. His military
education is far from complete, but his
general staff is composed entirely OF
officers who formerly belonged to the
Russian general staff, so that they
compensate for the deficiencies of
their commander-in-ch chief.
The Second army is headed by
well-organixed general staff which in
cludes three colonies who formerly be-
longed to the Russian general staff.
/ The chief of the
Third army is an individual who, up
to the time of the bolshevik revolution
was a sergeant in one of the regiments
Of Siberian infantry. He also Is sup
ported by general STAFF composed of
former Russian staff officers
The fact that SO many Officers OF
the former Russian army have con-
scented to serve with the bolsheviki is
one OF the worst features of the situa-
ton in Russia. Without them the boil
sheviki would have been unable to
organize such military forces as are
now at their disposal, and their dicta-
toIsilip, based solely Oh Violence
would have been ended long ago.
The artillery equipment Of the boil
sheyik armies is declared to be very
incomplete. A division has on an aver
age, from FIVE to eight guns. Munitions
are said to be scarce and their supply
is deficient Munitions for the infantry
are running short, Z.
The chief Of the central general staff
Of the bolshevik forces is Lett named

Carroll. April 5.-Lost, from the rec
ords Of the United States overseas
army, an Iowa soldier. lie is q Car
roll boy and enjoys most unusual
and unique position, not knowing
whether he will ever be discharged
from the army.
He is at home and has been for sew
SsN months, and is still drawing his
$50 month. He Joined the army, was
sent to England and finally to France.
where he saw service. In January he
returned to the states and to Camp
Mills where ne was to receive orders
to proceed to Camp Dodge and be
mustered out. But the officers could
not fNd his service record and he
could not be discharged. It developed
that his service record had been dis
placed in England and as he had been
transferred a number of times the
papers could not catch up With him
and never have caught up.
Altho army red tape was recently
said to have been cut to permit OF the
discharge Of q soldier despite the loss
of his service papers 1t has not worked
in this case and inquiries at the var
ious camps IN England have resulted
in the officers Of this soldiers unit
getting nowhere with him..
The young soldier is In Carroll. he
can not take off his uniform as he Is
still a soldier and drawing his pay, and
he can not accept another job as much
as he would like to but is compelled
to see other soldiers return home dis
charged, return to civil life and nothing
doing for him. All inquiries OF the
war department avail him nothing and
his is as securely tied to Uncle Sans
army as tho he were in France or Ger
many.

the tractor he was operating turned
turtle, Mr.. Ambrose was called out
a half mile northeast of town to pull
q stalled automobile out Of a mire hole
in the road. He went out with his

The rope was fastened too high on
the tractor and when the hard pull
came the rear wheels Of the tractor
cut into the soft road and the pull
above the axle raised the/front wheels
off the ground and before the driver
could throw off the power the tractor
came over backwards By what seems
a miracle Mr.. Ambrose escaped being
