$4,000 MEN ARE MISSING
Fate of Men In French Armies
During the War 10
Unknown.

Paris.-On the casualty lists of the
French army the word missing is
written opposite the names OF 3l4,oOO
men. Investigations which have been
conducted have resulted in establish
ing the fact that of this number all
hope for about 10000 must be aban-
doned. In these times of intensive
warfare, it is, of course, possible Tor
a man literally to be "bloWn to
atoms" but a minute examination OF
No Mans Land, it is hoped, still may
Weld indications by which it is posi-
BILE to trace the fate of at least some
of the missing men. An army OF IL
600 men will search.

ing the past three days at the klnmei
military camp at Rhyl, Wales, ac-
cording to a Liverpool dispatch re-
ceived here Great property damage
was caused, the dispatch adds. Ac-
cording to latest reports from Liver
pool the riot was started by about 2OO
malcontents. There were $4,000 Cana
dams in the camp awaiting demobil-
ization and embarkatiOn. The men
who caused the trouble were war
casuals, who had served for three
wears or more in France. They conf
planned that their embarkatlon had
been postponed while other men VINO
had seen less service were sent home
After the destruction of stores OF all
kinds by the disconnected men, the
situation took a more serious turn,
when the cavalry was called out, but
was forbidden to use its arms. Troops
from Chester intercepted the rioters III
their march upon Abergele, near Rhyl,
and also prevented a threatened raid
on. the latter place. Five men were
killed and 40 injured in the course OF
this fighting, it is reported

RUSSIAN PEOPLE STARVING

The Britishers say that the plight OF
Russia is direct result OF the reign o1
anarchy and terror instituted by Len

the Russian problem has ceased TO De
political question and has become a
question of common humanity. Thou-

Washington. ~-Vladivostok Is arous-
ed by the arrest and deportation OF
six non-Bolshevik municipal officials
by General Ivanoff Rinoff, commander
of the Vladivostok military district
under the Omsk Siberian Government.
Official advices reporting the incl
dent said there was strong feeling
among the people of the city against
the allies because the seizure OF the
officials was permitted. Representa-
tativess of the allies notified their re-
spectiye governments and asked Tor
instructions.
1t is intimated in official quarters
here that the allies and the Umted
States would warn Admiral kolchak,
dictator of the Omsk Government,
that General Rinoff must be restrained
from interfering with the Vladivostok
local authorities.
A pecliar situation exists at Vladl-
vostok. Months ago elections resulted
in the setting up of a Soviet municipal
government, although the city is With
in the vast stretch of territory under
the sway of the Omsk-All-Russian
regime. The city is policed by Omsk
soldiery without regard to the locai
authorities, and the whole situation
actually is controlled by the allied ana
American warships in the harbor,
First reports of the action OF Gen
eral Rinoff indicated that it followed
agitation instigated by Generals Hor-
yath and Seminoff, Siberian military
commanders, who are none too friend
w to Kolchak. 1t developed later
however. that instead the men de-
ported were alleged to have been I'M
plicated in a general plot against the
Omsk authorities. They are said to
have been sent to Hardin.

Election Starts Fighting.

Vienna.-There have been sanguln-
airy engagements between Czech sol
diers and citizens in numerous towns
in German-Bohemia, according to re-
ports received here. The trouble
started when the Germans attempted
to hold elections for the Austrian Ma
tional Assembly in Vienna, which the
Czech Government prohibited because
Bohemia is Czecho territory.
The Germans organized manifesto
lions against Czech rule and the
Czechs used rifles and bayonets in sup
pressing the demonstrations. Three
persons are reported killed at Karls-
bad and ten at Steinberg.

he continued, "that Rumania, Serbia,

London.-The negotiations at spa
relating to the shipping question nave
been temporarily broken off, accord
ing to a German wireless message re
ceiyed here. The allies, the message
saws, demanded that all the remaining
German merchant ships be handed
over Internationally, without being
willing to undertake the obligation OF
supplying Germany with foodstufts.
The German delegates, it is added, re-
ceived instructions from their Govern
ment that the question of shipping,
finance and food supply must be dealt
with only as whole. The German
message continues: O.
"rThe question Of handing over the
mercantile fleet only can arise ii ade-
quate food supplies, say 2,5OO,OOO tons
of foodstuffs, are assured Germany un-
til the new harvest. The Entente
would not agree to this"
AS the instructions of both sides did
not go beyond this, French delegate
proposed that negotiations be broken
off, whereupon the two special delega-
tons left Spa.

S1.O1 Spent FOR
EVERY 81 GIVEN
RED CROSS HAD REMARKABLE
RECORD or ECONOMY IN
WAR.
Money Given In Third Roll Call To
Go Mainly for America and
Americana.

r Atlanta, Ga.--5Ehere are two -facts
about the Third Red Cross Roll Call
which campaign leaders in the south
are emphasizing-one the fact that the
Red Cross has proved It's ability and
trustworthiness to handle funds in q
business-like way, and the other, the
fact that the money received in the
Third Roll Call will be expended al
most wholly in America for the benefit
of the American people.
When anybody asks whether money
given to the Red Cross will be frit-
tered or squandered, campaign speak
ers turn to its war record and point to
the remarkable fact that for every dol
lar given by the American people, $1.01
went to the actual purpose for which
the money was intended. In othe,
words, each dollar earned two cents
interest. One cent Of that two cents
Droyided for expenses of administra.
ton. and the dollar itself and cent
besides went to actual relief work.
If the Red Cross could do that in
the war when no organizations and no
nations were any too careful or econo
mic in the way they spent money, Red
Cross workers declare, it is certainly
10 be believed that the Red Cross will
do as well, at the least, in peace times,
and that money given in the Third
RoII Cali will go, not for expenses, but
p Aght where it is most needed and
ri ght where the man or woman who
gave IT, wanted it 60 out when he
ioilned the Red Cross and paid his
do liar.
s for the exact purpose for which
4ho money will be spent, they quote
m. Livingston Farrand, national chair.
r,ai, Of the Red Cross, who said re-
rort1v. 1.-THE American people are not
ask, d for huge sums to pour into
Eurcr,e for the relief Of stricken peo-
,1aa Of other countries. Only COM
small sum will be set aside
sor that purpose, and it only to ad.
minis Ter supplies already entrusted to
+he ned Cross by the American gov.
orn7nt,nt, not to buy any more supplies.
II viii be merely toward defraaying the
corr paratively light expenses of finish
inq. a Job already almost completed.
Nv far the greater percentage of the
money secured in this compaign from
the American people will be returned
direc tlv to the American people in the
form of better health and living
conditions"
AS a. concrete expression Of the ap-
proyaI of the government Of Red Cross
methods, more than ten million dollars
worth Of medical and food supplies
have been recently turned over to the
Red Cross by the government to be
distributed
