Health Of School
Children Badly
Neglected, Claim

Cleveland, o., Feb. 24.--The lives Of
sacrificed annually, human power i'm
measurably wasted and staggering
economic loss results from the failure
to apply scientific knowledge to the
prevention OF needless weakness, dis
eases and death, said DR.. Thomas ID.
Wood, professor of physical educa-
tion at Columbia university, New
York, addressing the national council
of education today. The council is
composed of 1870 Of the leading edu-
Gators of the country attending the
national education association conven
ton here.
"Our schools are wasting enormous
sums in trying to educate children
handicapped by i'll health" Or. Wood
said. Seventy five percent, or TO-
O00,0 school children Of the United
States have physical defects which
are mostly remedlable. This shows
that the business of keeping the
school children Of the country in good
physical condition is a disgrace Ia
the nation"
Josephine Corliss Preston of Olym-
pia, Wash, president of the National
Educational association, said a sub
stantial salary increase was neces'
sary to secure trained and competent
teachers to fill the $4,000 vacancies
and replace $4,000 teachers below
professional standards in ability.

DOLSHEV|KI Army
SAID TO BE FORMED
OF TWO CLASSES

Amsterdam, Feb. "a. - About so
percent of the red army in Russia is
not "red" at all, but is neutral, ac-
cording to the staff correspondent
of the Handelsblad, G. Nypels, who
has just returned from an extended
tour through soviet Russia. He says
about 60 percent of the officers, who
are largely drawn from the trained
military men of the old upper class,
are "czarist" in inclination. This
leaves only about 20 percent of the
soldiers and 40 per cent of the Off
GERS, thoroughly attached to the So
or czarist.
Nypels, one of the few neutral ob-
servers who was permitted to visit
soviet cities recently, writes in a SER
les of articles that he was more cour-
teously treated by the bolsheviki than
by the Poles, through phose country
he had passed.
In general he observes that there
are two kinds of bQlsheviki" The
first class he says are cranks with a
lot of adventurers and rascals fol-
lowing them. These people, he says,
are very vain but il one knows how
to treat them they are as wax in ones
hands. The second class are the true
theorists, the adherents of Marks
principles who are serious, well mean
ing people and invariably treat one
fairly.
"They either admit you into their
country and receive you very we'll or
don't admit you at all" he declares.

ALLIES refuse TO
DEAL WITH RUSSIA
Until HORRORS END

London, Feb. 24.-The allies will
decline to deal with soviet Russia
until they have arrived at the con-
viction that the bolshevists harrows
have come to an end" 1t was an
nounced after meeting of the al
lied supreme council today.
The decision Of the supreme coun
ell, it was recognized, precludes diplo-
matte relations between the allied
governments and the Moscow admin
istration In the immediate future.
The council expressed itself as
pleased that the international labor
bureau had decided to send a dele
cation to Russia to study conditions
but it stated its belief that supervis-
ion of the delegation should be under
the council of the league of nations,
giving the investigators greater auth
ority.
The council 1t was stated, decided
that the allies could not accept the
responsibility of advising the border
states to continue war against the boil
sheviki. If the bolsheviki attack with
in the territory of the border states
however, the allies promise "eyery
possible support"

Sugar Shortage
Failed To Stop
Heavy Exports

Washington, Feb. "a. = Although
there were general complaints Of a
sugar shortage in this country last
year. exports of the commodity dur
ing that time exceeded those of the
year before by more than one billion
p ounds, according to department Of
commerce records. Exports reached a
total of 1,475,407.67S pounds compar-
ed with 407.2s6.s24 pounds the year
before.
One explanation of the increase ad-
vansed is that England sent much
cane to the United States to be relwset.
and re-shipped. Exports to that coun-
try, however, were only 425,17O,564
pounds whereas France imported 627,-
6S2116 pounds or nearly half of the
total. Italy took the third largest
quantity. 5s.ss1,947 pounds.
Relaxation of restrictions on ship
ments by the allied countries after the
war is believed here to be largely re-
sponsible for the increased exports.

This is the first information con-

his. 1t was later identified, however,
as that of an escape from the state
asylum About a week prior to that
I time it was reported that a man an
