DESCRIBES SIBERIAN MISERY
Col. Teusler Of Red cross Says Filth
Was Cause Of Army's
Reverses.

Tokyo.-That chief cause for the
recent reverses OF the Siberian army
was to be found in It's unsanitary con.
dlt'ons, WAS the opinion expressed re.
Gently by Col. X. r. Teusler. American
Red Cross commissioner to Siberia.
Col. Teusler said that bad santa.
ton, both in the army and among the
population, with the agonles Of starya-
ton. brought about extreme misery
and moral breakdown, which was es-
pecialy reflected In the troops, who
fell they had no support behind them.
The minds Of the population seemed
to have become almost benumbed and
absolutely indifferent to what hap
ppned, or to the suffering Of others.
Col. Teusler added that although
such numbers of the people were starry
ing, there was sufficient food, but lack
OF transportation facilities prevented
its distribution where most needed.

figure how these banks, including

Of the loans Of the Kansas City
bank are for agricultural and live

An unbiased survey Of the posi-
tion of the Federal Reserve Bank
of Kansas City indicate that it
has not stintsd in making loans for
agricultural purposes. The fact is
that, If it had put more emphasis
on the need for conserving in the
use of credit instead of seeking more
and more loans, better business con-

What if farm credit is provided
out of profits of the federal reserve

reserves be removed the lending
ability of the system will be re-

money may be diverted to other
purposes. but there will be no in
crease whatever in the supply OF
credit in the United States. Will
this help farmers? Hardly.

(By Samuel sosland,

Have bankers been so niggardly
in supplying credit for agricultural
purposes that it is necessary for
congress to enact special agricultur-
al financial legislation? And can
congress do anything for farmers
which the bankers OF the United
States have not already done or
attempted.
Grain dealers. stockmen, whole
sale and retail merchandise inter
ests and intelligent laborers asked
the foregoing questions the past
week. They were prompted to ask
these. questions by the beginning OF
a campaign at Washington on the
eve OF the convening OF congress
for the enactment OF special agri-
cultural credit legislation The agi-
tation had some influence on prices
FER the APPARENT determination OF
legislators to provide more farm
credit was expected :r many quar
ters to strengthen markets.
Let's modify the federal reserve
a1t. Let's revive the war fincnce
board. Let's provide Sl.0O0.000,000
in credit to Germany and other
European nations to buy farm pro
ducts. Let's use some of the pro
