PRINCE TELLS OF
K0LeHAk GOVT. and
SITUATION IN SIBERIA

New York. Jan. Prince Cantacu-
zene, who married the granddaughter
of President Grant,~and who is in this
country on a military mission for the
Kolchak government Of Russia, said
today concerning the reports that
Kolchak had given UP the COMMAND:
Whether or not Kolchak has been
forced to resign active command Of
the all-Russian armies because of
illness, the military situation is not
seriously altered thereby. There are
other men in the Russian army who
will carry on the fighting as long as
there is a foot of ground left. There
is vast territory between the Russian
front and the Pacific Ocean and even
if 'Irkutsk has fallen into the hands
of the Bolsheviki, which I myself find
hard to believe, the all Russian army
will carry on.
1.-The Kolchak armies have the men
and they have many and excellent
officers. What they need is supplies.
They have no shoes, no clothes, very
little ammunition, and very little
food. If the Allies wish to stop the
spread Of Bolshevism throughout the
world. they must come to the rescue
Of kolchak and Denikine. Semenoff
is a Cossack. He is an honest and
strong man. / do not believe that he
is playing into the hands Of the ia
panese as people in America are in
.clined to believe. He is a Russian
and a patriot. His methods are ruth
less, but his purpose is to fight the
Bolsheviki and save the world from
their clutches.
The Kolchak armies are fighting
On the defensive. Until they are CIV
en- supplies by the Allies, they will
not to able to take the offensive.
Their great contribution to the peace
of the world at present is that they
are preventing the spread Of Bolshe-
vism into the Orient.
THE Bolsheviki in Russia have
failed. They know that they have
failed. 1t is only matter of time
before the peasants. who are disillu-
stoned and bitter, uprise once more
and annihilate the Bolshevik govern
ment. When that happens what will
the leaders of Bolshevism do? Rus
STA is already looted and impover-
ished. There is little more to gain by
holding the powers in Russia. Their
obvious aim is to find new worlds to
conquer. There is great opportunity

For O number of years there has
been "story hour during the WIN
ter months for the children of the
city, given under the auspices Of the
Belfast Free Library, through the
kindness of the librarian. Miss Annie

story hour, there will be what will be
called Zig-Zag Journeys with talks
by local travellers to be illustrated
with views thrown on a screen by the
balopticon, operated by z. D. Harris
horn of the Grammar school. The
"hour" will be held on Saturdays
beginning Jan. 10. from to P. M. in
the upper Grammar building. The
first journey will be called IA Day
in the British Isles," and will be
illustrated by slides owned by the
Belfast High school. Miss Barr will
give the talk. Among those who'have
consented to talk during the winter
are Mrs. George c. Bosom, visitor
in Belfast this winter and who has
travelled extensively. including once
around the world. 20 times across the
Atlantic and who has lived in nearly

Of China and India. Once tho lead
ers and the propaganda Of the Boil
sheviki have entered the sswarming
lands Of the Orient. there Is no es-
timating the suffering and horror
that will descend upon the world.
Nothing stands between the Western
nations and such a catastrophe ex-
cept the thin wavering line of the
Kolchak forces.
There are Chinese in the Bolshe-
vik armies. These men were paid
10000 rubles apiece in. paper money
for taking Omsk. The city presented
{. picture of desolation and horror
unmatched in the entire war, after it
had been looted by the Chinese mer-
cenaries. These men are anxious to
return to- their own homes and they
have been taught to believe that the
only thing which prevents their re-
turning is the Kolchak armies.
Once they break through they will
return to China, to spread Bolshevils
doctrines from one end of the Orient
to the other.
IF Bolshevism can be kept isolated
in Russia, it will wear itself out by
its own excuses. Bolshevism is like
a sickness preying upon the weak
and ignorant. By cutting off the ter
ritory occupied by the Bolshevilli by
means of military force. the disease
will wear itself out. Governments
an slow moving, but there is one
thing which can be done by the peo-
pie of America Immediately. Be
hind the skolchak army there is an
other pitiful army of refugees. Hun
dreds of thousands of people have
fled out of Bolshevik Russia into ST.
IBERIA. They are under the. protection
and care of Kolchak and the military
authorities, and kolchak has neither
the supplies nor the equipment to
care for them porperly. They are
scattered all the way acorss Siberia
on the line of the Railroad.
"They are living in box cars-25
and 80 women and children in eone
car. They have nothing between
them and the weather which is at As
degrees below zero, except the thin
board walls of the car Their only
heat is from small stoves in. these
cars, which they keep supplied by
pulling down old snow sheds and
gathering fagots. This fuel makes a
hot fire for few moments but soon
burns out. They have insufficient
clothes to protect them against the
weather and no shoes or medical
supplies. helped to carry out IS
corpses from one car and to bury
them. Only those in the prime of life
are living today. The old people and
the young children have all died.
They cannot survive the hard
ships. and these people are the edu-
Gated classes of Russia. Among
them are the professional classes, the
tradespeople, clerks and skilled work
men. The villages cannot care for
them. Little towns built for a few
people are already overcrowded, and
the peasants have all they can do to
feed and warm themselves and the
people in their homes. If America
will but help to care for this army of
refugees. a terrible responsibility will
have been lifted from the shoulders
of the Russian armies and thousands
of valuable lives will be saved for the
future.
THE American Central Committee
for Russia Relief has undertaken the
work of rescuing this pitiful remnant
of once great nation. If supplies
can be sent quickly, a great service
will have been rendered to- Russia
and to humanity" 49,

Swindle'Bared
Sioux City Jaanitor' Confesses
To Obtaining Money by
Use Of Mails.

Sioux City, Ia, Dec. 22.-An in
ternational swindle, police and fed
eral authorities believe, has been uil-
earthed in the arrest mere of Harry
P. Saunders, AZ, janitor at a Sioux
City college, on a charge of using
the mails to defraud. His alleged
scheme was to get money from EHg-
lish estates. Authorities say Saund-
ers may have secured from $500 to
$5O09OO.
Saunders has made a complete
confession, according to postal in
spector J. A. Szarkowski and Chief
of Police Earl Morgan. He is in
the county Jail pending hearing
before a United States commissioner.
Where large estates were Left,
Saunders would write letter to the
dead persons. Morgan said Saunders
confessed. This letter was supposed
to have been in answer to one re-
ceived year or two previous from
the dead person, while alive. Saund-
ers' letters would contain informa-
ton supposed to have been asked
regardieng some debt OF from 95 to
ESQ owed by the dead party.
1t is admitted by Saunders, &C
cording to Morgan, that he had been
in correspondence with Sc estates
since coming to Sioux City three
months ago. His records also
show he wrote As others while at
Plankinton. S. d., Morgan stated.
From many of these Saunders re-
ceived from IS to $50, Morgan
saws the records show.

Rule Today on New
Trial for Berwick
Arguments Presented to Court
In Case of Man Convicted
OF Manslaughter.

Judge George w. Cullison may
hand down his decision this morn
ing i'll district court at Council
Bluffs in the matter of new trial
for Ernest Berwick, convicted OF
inanslaughter by a jury two weeks
ago when tried for the death of
Leo Holzfaster.
Yesterday W. E. Mitchell, attor-
ney for Berwick, made extended ar
guments during the forenoon before
.Indge Cullison, citing errors on
which he based his claim for an
other hearing.
He argued that several matters
were left by the judge in his instruc-
tions to the jury, when they were
established by uncontroverted evil
dence and also urged that the court
erred in falling to direct the jury
as to the defendants rights in de-
Tending himself and the other oc-
cupants of the car.
He made many other extended
arguments on detailed points in the
instructions of the court to the jury.
Among these was the claim that in
structions on the law of retreat
were inapplicable, since Berwick
was unable to leave his seat in the
car. He also argued that the fact
that his client was tried Immediately
following the Barrett case was preju-
dicial TO his case.
L. +. Swanson. county attorney,
spent the afternoon in arguments
against the new trial.

Air Station Officers
Give Up Hope for Men
In Missing Balloon

Rockaway, N. Y, Dec, 22-For
the first time since the disappear
ance of the naval balloon A-5598
nine days ago, officers at the Rock
away naval air station here reluc-
tantly expressed the opinion that
the three occupants Of the missing
craft are dead in the wilds of the
Adirondack mountains. ...
Officers at the station pointed out
that in the event the occupants Of
the balloon landed uninjured in the
thickly wooded sections of the Ad-
ironda cks, there was a strong prob
ability they suceumbed to the bitter,
weather OF the past few days, IN
view of the fact that the balloon
was poorly provisioned with food.
The airplane hunt for the miss
ing craft, with Glens Falls as the
base of operations, will proceed, it
was announced.
