Compilation of Moshers record,

Equipped with knowledge Of Ger.

knowledge of jail breaking and
handeuff slipping, Private Mosher
was sent to Europe. After the arms

army of occupation, but the lure of
further travel called Mosher and he
continued on in o the interior of Aus

An American sergeant Harry Carr,

and Carr was shot to death, Then the

"GHEE" MUCH USED IN EAST
Concentrated Form OF Butter Fat EN-
ployed in Preparation OF Al
most All Dishea

Chez is briefly described as ciari-
fed butter. Cows or bufralo's milk Is
submitted to n process of churnlng
and boiling which yields a concentrat-
ed form of butter fat considered to be
entirely free from curd, whey or Wa
ter. This product keeps better than
ordinary butter. but has a taste not
usually appreciated by Europeans. Al
though commonly associated with the
diet of the British Indian, ghee Is used
as we'll throughout the Red sea dis
trlct by the Arabs, Somalis, British
Indians, and other native elements of
the population. In minor way ghee
Is used incidentally and ceremonially /;
but its principal use is in the prepara-
ton OF food, and no native meal In
this part of the world Is truly relished
unless ghee is generously used in some
form or other. 1t is worked Into the
dough for native bread, and the bread
Is fried In ghee; or If ordinary bread
Is used the pieces broken Off to be
eaten are first dipped into a cup or
vessel of hot ghee. 1t is used In the
preparation of all meat dishes, and of
many vegetable dishes. Some natives,
particularly the Arabs, boil 1t with
milk and drink the mixture,

GEN. WRANGEL HAS AN
ARMY OF 100000 MEN
RECOGNIZED Head Of Government In
South Russia May Help Over
throw Bolshevki.

The territory controlled by General
Baron Peter Wrangel, who has been
recognized by France as head of the
de facto government In South Russia
comprises the Crimea peninsula, or
the Taurids province, and region
along the Black Sea coast, dominated
by Don, Kuban and Terek Cossacks.
The Wrangel government also con,
trolls parts Of suothern Russia directly
north Of the Black Sea coast, includ-
ling the province of Ekaterinoslav and
a part ofth southern extremity Of the
Don region which the Bolsheviki have
been unable to reoccupy, following the
collapse Of the movement headed by
4 General Danikne.
The forces of General Wrangel con-
sist of about 100000 men, including
troops organized by him in the Crimea
and about 100000 Cossacks who fled
from the Don. following the reoccupa-
tion of most of that region by the
lBolsheviki.
General Wrangel has not as yet un.
dertaken any major offensive against
the Bolshevik, although his troops
have fought several battles with them,
most of which have resulted favorably
to his forces.
1t is not the policy of the govern
ment Of General Wrangel to under.
take any advance on Moscow in the
Immediate future, It's task being con.
fined principally to consolidating its
position in the territories under its
position control and laying the founda-
ton for a new Russian democratic
statehood
Whether the decision Of France to
accord General Wrangel military and
economic aid will mean a change of
this policy and the beginning of an
offensive on a large scale before win
ter makes all military operations diff
lficult, remains to be seen.
That the Bolshevih government at
] Moscow regards the Wrangel move.
ment as a distinct danger is evidenced
by the following proclamation issued
July 10 by the Communist Central
Committee at Moscow:
! Duflng tne most terrible moment
OF the struggle of the Russian and
Ukrainian peasants against Poland
General Wrangel has launched an Of
fensive in south Russia intending to
capture the most fertile regions of the
Ukraine and Don. HIS offensive has
already caused the Soviet republic
great difficulties. Each success of the
General, even the most modest one, de
prives Soviet Russia Of great quaint
ties of grain, coal and oil, and spells a
spread of starvation, restitution, lack
of fuel and destruction of the trans
port.
THE Communist party should I'M
derstand that the Foundation of Gen
eral Wrangel's undertaking is an alb
solute necessity for Soviet Russia. The
Central Committee demands of all
party branches and all trade unions tC
support with all possible energy the
offensive started against Wrangel. Nc
defeat OF the Poles is possible without
a defeat of Wrangel The red banner
must be waving over the Crimea."

GIVE CREDIT TO PHOENICIANS
Scientists Believe That Race Erected
the Immense MonoIths Found IN
Various Places.

Giant monollths standing strangely
alone in many places on the globe
when discovered by intrepid explor-
ers and Adventures during the recent
centuries, are being referred 10 as the
greatest mysteries of human history
by psychologists, who are now trying
to determine what race built them.
They are scattered In far-0tf places.
They are monstrous pieces OF rude
sculpture. They are built Of terrifying
stone blocks, some weighing as much
as $50 tons.
In many districts where the great
memorials stand there are no stones
of such size to be found, and conse-
quently they must have been trans
ported from places far away. The
most famous of them are the crom-
lechs in England. Others are found
in western France, northern Germany
In Denmark Africa, Madagascar
Asia. from Mt. Sinai and the Caucasus
to India; and among the most Won
derful and mysterious of all are those
found on lonely Easter island In the
Pacific ocean. NJ. Levistre, French
archeologlst, believes they were erect
ed by the Phoenlcians, as most of them
have been found near rivers. Some
students are inclined to believe the
Phoenlclans reached America by the
lost Atlantis, a legendary continent
that now is sunken somewhere In the
Atlantic. A footprint, the PhoehielaT
mark of death has been found carved
in many, while coiled snake, another
mark of these nayigators also Is
found.
