HORROR TRAINS OPERATING ON
 SIBERIAN ROADS

Tokio, Jan. 15-The death trains constitute a fearful feature of the Sf- f'srian railroad, says Colonel R. B.. IeusIer, American Red Cross cora missioner to Siberia. Into these trains fugees most of them suffering from typnus or some other disease and in- fested with vermin.
 The trains are sent eastward from Vladivostock. None of the towns along the way want the refugees to be added to their own troubles so the trains are passed along, the refu- gees dying on the way. By the time the train reaches Vladiyostock ire quently more than half the sufferers have, died. As the bodies are re- moved from the cars every morning, fresh passengers are likely to be thrust in their places.
 Another feature of the suffering of the inhabitants, according to Colonel Teusler. is the towns composed of dugoutS which are to be found in many places. They consist Of hun dreds of holes dug i11 the ground in which the inhabitants are herded- Smallpox is frequently among them. wear is one of the greatest needs of the Serbian people.

JOHN FITCH WILL SPEAK ON
 STEEL STRIKE

John Fitch will speak at the United Church Community Forum, to be held at the United Congregational church, corner of Broad and Gilbert streets, on Sunday evening, January IS, at 7:30. His subject will be ''The Steel Strike
 As a student of labor conditions especially in the steel industry of the United States, MT. Fitch ranks, per- haps it is even fair to say, without parallel. His first exhaustive study was made in collaboration with Prof. Commons in the initial investigations made for the Pittsburgh Survey. Following that, MT. Fitch spent an entire year Investigating conditions in the mill towns of Alleghany Coun- ty PennsyvanisL) and the combined findings have been published through the Russell Sage Foundation in 8 volume entitled ''The Steel Workers After that he devoted another years study to the various steel centers in the country. His conclusions are embodied in a series of articles in the Survey called the Human Side of Large Outputs. Since then Mir. Fitch has followed closely every de- velopnlent in the Steel industry and his own published findings have never been successfully challenged. Again, during the present conflict, MT. Fitch has spent some time on the scene of action, especially endeavoring to as- certain the motives and methods of the leadership in the present strike.
 Mr. Fitch served the State of New York as Industrial Expert during the year 1909-1910 and since that time has been editor of the Industrial Section of the Survey. Also, he is lecturer at the New York School for Social Workers.
 With such a background of exper- fence and observation combined with his sure-footed accuracy and we'll grounded judgments, MT, Fitch is peculiarly qualified to interpret the industrial issues involved in the steel strike and to make 8 constru ctive contribution to any discussion of the present industrial situation in Amer ioa

AMERICAN NEWS-PRINT
 CONSUMPTION STATISTICS.

According to the summary of the Federal Trade Commission, issued January 1, consumption of news-print in the United States during 1919, as compared with a similar period of 1918, shows an increase of 14 per cent.
 During the fourth quarter of 1919 news-print consumption was running up, according to the Commission, and the increase over similar period in 1918 would be 25 or 30 per cent. De- cember figures have not yet been tabulated
 In November, 1919, the 727 pub fishers reporting to the Commission used 161, ,602 tons of news-print, as vember. 1918.
 The average cost of print at the mills at the beginning of Decem- Der, 1919, was s3.90 per ton as against S3.75 a year ago. The price in 1916 was $1.sS.
 News-print production in 1919 ex- ceeded that of 1918 by a little more than per cent. and that of 1917 less than 1 per cent, according to tenta- tive statistics prepared by the Federal Trade Com mission for the past three years.
 Production and shipment figures show that 15,S56 tons were on hand at the mills at the start of 1919, as compared with 2e,477 tons on Jan uary 1, 1918, and 26,477 tons on Jan uaryt 1. 1917.
 Production for the. year, with De- cember's amount estimated at 101,- ,- 900 tons, approximated 1,352,736 tons, with shipments, Decembers total es- timated at 0,500 tons, of about l. 356,30S tons

into the case, and a further study of the original letter was made.
 SPRUCE DIVISION.
 Of course, The Spruce Di- vision!
 The Spruce Division was a part of the American army!
 Miss Blue Sweater secured a roster of the Spruce Division from the war Department and searched through the nearly 10000 names for a man who lived at Hastings, Pa.
 In this she was rewarded. The list showed only one man from that town. He was Herman Miller. With this information the young woman had no difficulty in finding the card Of Herman Miller, (policy number 1. S77,156; serial number S66,255) of Hastings, Pa. This man was fur nished the information he desired, and in thanking the Bureau he ad- mitted he had forgotten to sign his name to the letter.
 Girls from every. part of the country are employed as searchers. If complex case arrives involving a mans identification, and his home is in Maine, a girl from that state is assigned to run down the mystery and she nearly always does. Should the state be California, a. girl hailing from the Coast soon has the cor rect tdata carefully listed in the files. The first requisite in 9 searcher is ina gination. The second is accuracy and speed and third is neatness in writing figures. If the searcher does not comply with the third demand, the soldiers or sailors policy num- Der may be mfsquoted, involving a long wait while he is otherwise prop erly identified. In selecting girl searcher, an effort is made to get the l best educated and those who have 1 had the widest opportunities in busi- ness experience. Most of the girls 1 have either been school teachers or ] identified with library work Modest young women will smile blushingly when they are pointed out ] as the ones who have clever1y run down some case which appeared i hopeless. They will say:
 "Oh, that's only a simple case. There are many that are really more wonderful"
 1 There are innumerable wonder 1 fu1' cases under investigation every day, but those girls are not unlike l the heroes from France who never exploit the wonderful things they l themselves did in line of duy. | dandWf1tlnS experts die SihpIoyed to determine the identity of many i signatures. since every conceivable form of handwriting reaches the Bureau. Often the body of a, letter | will be perfectly 1egible, but the
 signature will prove to be one of
 those non-forgetable jun1bles Of pen
 strokes which are the delight and pet
 hobby of the writer and the despair
 of every reader.
 Every girl sleuth In the Bureau l is trying to find the mystery man of the files He is Isaac Didnot Butcher. 1 They have reason to believe he was in the service, since they have found 1 the name frequently among papers but are unable to obtain his serial l number or address.
