 fca The absence of stone in much ef Siberia will make it difficult to pave fhem. though much could be done by establishing brick works and surfaeing the roads with brick, in which ease motor truck transport would form an important auxiliary to the railway.
 Few NeIl-Made Roads.
 While the Siberian railway is cross cd by number of important rivers running from south to north, which afford transverse routes to points along their shores the great eXpanse of the country is unprovided with welt made roads, Transportation rom points lying at distance from the main route Is, therefore, costly ana difficult. Only a limited quantity oi grain can he hauled out of the country 10 the railroad, while the railroad It. self fs not able to take care of the grain that could he easily produced by the peasant population of Slberia In good seasons. The result is that q large crop of grain forces down the local price. so that the peasant actual ly finds that large crop brings him in less money and causes him extra work.
 The greatest need of Siberia in the immediate future is improvement in roadways. so that communication may be easy from interior districts where grain can be raised, To railways and especially to water routes by which the grain can be carried out of the country. The improvement of the Si- berian railway was already in hand under the American railway commits sion in 1917. when the bolshevik rev olution occurred and put a stop to the work. It will be comparatively easy to increase the carrying capacity of the Siberian road very largely by phys ieal Improvements, and by better man. agement, particularly ill dispatchlng trains by comprehensive system. ReadWays by which Siberian com merce can be extended from the rail- way route to the interior districts should be improved and extended i'll the very near future.
 Caravan roads of southern Siberia include among the most important the route from Petropavlovsk down to the river Ischim, past the onlutav noun tains and the river Sary-Su to Bulk hara, and from the same city by the river Tchaglinka. past number of lakes to Akmolinsk, Nourinsky and in to Turkestan

WELCOME WILSON
 HOME Al BOSTON
IN SPEECH AT MECHANICS HALL HE TELLS OF EUROPEAN ADJ
 MtRATION FOR AMERICA,
NO DISCUSSION OF LEAGUE
Says Nations of World Have Set Their Heads Now To Do Great Thing and Are Not Going to Stop
 Short of Their Purpose"

Mechanics Hall, Boston.-Presi- dent Wilson. in his first speech here on landing from France, invited the critics of the league of nations plan to test the sentiment of America.
 Men. he declared, who would have America fail the world in it's hopes, saw only beyond the nearest hori- zon.
 They do not know the sentiment Of America, he said.
 Speaking of hopes and aspirations of the people of Europe for lasting peace, which. he said, were pinned 10 the United States as the friend of mankind the president said he had no more doubt of the verdict Of America in this than l have doubt Of the blood that is in me"
 "The nations of the world have set and they are not going to stop short of their purpose. I do not speak of the governments, but of the peoples, who will see that if their present gov ernments do not do their will, some others will. And the secret is out and the present governments know it.
 T have come back for an attempt to transact business for a litle while in America, but I say in all soberness that 1 have been trying to speak your thoughts Probing deep in my heart and trying to see the things that are right rather than the things that are expedient, I am finding the heart of America.
 T find that in loving America 1 have joined the majority of my fel- lowmen throughout the world"
 The president began by declaring his reception in Europe he consider cd as not tribute to himself but a welcome to the American people. He regarded it as welcome to the friends of liberty" coming across the sea to see that new world was 10 be consecrated on the basis of justice and right.
 The greatest thing have to re- port to you" said he. .is that this great country of ours is trusted throughout the world. have not come to report on the progress of the peace conference. That would be prs mature.
 Speaking of the slow progress of E the conference, the president remind cd his audience of the complexity of the problems affecting nearly every country in the world.
 Now" said the president, this confidence we have established calls for something. The Europe 1 left was full Of hope. The Europe of the third year of the war was sinking to a stubborn desperation. They thought the end of the war would eventually be resumption of the old order. They never dreamed it would be Europe of settled peace
 Now all the peoples of Europe are buoyed up in the hope that all the nations of the world shall unite their moral and physical forces that right shall prevail. What would happen If America should fail the world of it's hope? All nations will be set up as hostile camps again and the men at the peace conference will go home with their heads upon their breasts because they will have failed We would leave on the peace table noth- ing but modern scrap of paper"
