Famous Russian Paints Lurid
Picture of DeSOLate Russia
and White Army of KoLchak

like a sickness preying upon the
weak and ignorant. BY cutting off
the territory occupied by the
bolsheviki by means by military
force, the disease will wear itself
out Governments are slow movinp,
but there Is one thing which can
be done by the people Of America
immediately. Behind the Kolcbak
army there is another pitiful army
or refugees. Hundreds Of thousands
or people have fed out of bolshevik
Russia into Siberia. They are under
the protection and care Of Kolchak
and the military authorities, and
holchak has neither the supplies nor
the equipment 20 care for them
properly. They are scattered all the
way across Siberia on the line of
the railroad.
Ihey are living in box cars
20 and 30 women and children in
one car. They have nothing between
them and weather, which is at 40
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
hot fire for a few moments but
soon burns out. They have INSULT
cient 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 peo-
pie and the young children have all
died.
Cannot Survive.
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
workmen. 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 re-
sponsibility 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 Commit
tee for Russian Relief has under
taken the work Of rescuiIg this pitt
ful remnant Of once great nation.
If supplies can be sent quickly. a
great service will have been rem
dered to Russia and TO humanity"

THE Kolchak armies have the
men and they have many and ex-
cellent 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

come to the rescue Of Kolchak and

on the defensive. Until they N e

THE bolsheviki in Russia have
failed. They know that they have
failed. 1t is only a matter OF time
before the peasants, who are dis
IlusiOned and bitter, uprise once
more and annihilate the bolshevik
government. When that happens

impoverished. There is little more

great opportunity for them among
the ignorant masses OF China and
India. Once the leaders and the
propaganda Of the bolsheviki have
entered the swarming lands of the
Orient. there is no estimating the
suffering and horror that will des-
cend upon the world. Nothing
stands between the western nations
and such a catastrophe except the
Thin wavering line OF the KolchaG
forces.
There are Chinese in the bolshe-

for taking Omsk. The city presented

5 Billions To Run Government.

1t cost s5,O2S, 10000 to run the
L. S. Government for the first nine
months of the fiscal year, and taking
this AS an average, Treasury officials
say that total Government expendi-
lures for the II months period end
ing June 20 next would reach approx
imatcly s6, 100000 OF nearly
1000, 900 a day.
Further appropriation by Congress
and the soldier bonus, which is esti-
mated will cost the government one
billion, are not included. Last De-
cemher Secretary Glass figured that
running expenses would amount to
Sc, 097 ,237 900, but he did not take
int account the loss in Government

spent for it's own maintenance the

TRIBUTE TO DOGS OF WAR
Official British Report Tells Of Good
Work Done by the Animals at
the Front

An official report has now been is
used on the exploits Of the British
Wa: dogs at the front. Hitherto moth
ing has been known about them ex-
cept the occasional appearance In the
war films Of some shaggy dog rushing
desperately across piece of she'll
SCARED country.
The corps Of messenger dogs was
the creation Of Col. Richardson, the
widely-known advocate OF the use of
dogs IN war and police work. The
dogs were trained at war office
school Of instruction. Men with
knowledge of dogs. such rs game
keepers. shepherds and hunt servants,
were selected as instructors. The first
dog recruits came from various homes
for lost dogs. and many soldier owes
his life to stray dog saved from the
iethal chamber by the war. Unclaimed
dogs were sent to the camp by the
police and many people sent their pets
As war volunteers.
The best breeds for the purpose
proved to be collies, sheep dogs. iurch.
ers, Welsh and Irish terriers. Aire-
dales AND mixtures of these varieties.
The dogs were splendid. They would
make their way through tremendous
barrnge where no human being could
20, and would take vitally-needed
message back In ten minutes over
ground which would take runner
hours to cross. They were wounded
sometimes, but went on just the same.
During the great German push In
March Highland sheep dog ran about
two and a half miles in ten minutes
with an appeal for reinforcements, and
by SO doing prevented very serious
disaster. Part Of our line was iso-
lated by the barrage, and, thanks to
the dog, a division of French colon.
ials came up In time and saved the
situation.
Dogs did good service in following
IN the assaulting troops and taking
back essential information about the
condition OF the line and the rein
f"rcements needed.
Out In the Balkans dogs were used
ms sentries. and one of them barked
the news of the approach of Bulgar
scout when he was hundreds of yards
away.
