A. SEMEN0v
 WILL VISIT
 IN AMERICA
Opponent of Bolsheviki, Known as Beau Brummel in Far East, on Special Trip.

Shanghai, China, Nov 11.-Ataman Semenov, one of the earliest. oppon- ents of Bolshevism and the last of the great Russian leaders who fought for | the old Russian monarchy, now in Shanghai, will sail for America short Iy on a diplomatic mission of his oVrh and hopes to return to Siberia early next spring.
 Semenov, who is the Beau Brum- mel of Russia, is a compact1y built man of average height with a round face, blue eyes. and mustache which | ing story of his adventures and while talking adopts the pose of Napoleon. | Napoleon is Semenov's idol, and so | great French leader that he has his | pictures all taken with his hand with in his coat in the famous posture of J the great hero.
 nous for his beautiful wives. the magnificent jewels which he has 1 showered upon them-he has been married @ number of times-his pri- vate train of six armored cars, with roof garden car at the end; his princely yacht and his daring exploits. He is one of the ten princes of Mon golia, and while he Is only 31 years | of age he looks much older due to his l heavy build.
 Fought BoIshevism
 Semenov held out to the last ditch in his attempts to destroy the system 1 of Bolshevism. A captain in the Inn
 periad Russian army, he was wound | ed in the service of the Tsar on the
 Eastern front in the early days ot the war against Germany. Following
 this he was decorated by the Emperor | with all of the many decorations al | the Tsar's command.
 Not until July, 1917, did he waiver in his service in the war zone Then, when the first rising of the Bo1she- viks occurred, he hastened Q Petro- grad. sounding a warning to Premier | kerensky of the potential strength | shown by the new revolutionary par | ty, whose first uprising had been put down by the efforts of he Cossa cks. He fought to the last against she ! Bolshevlks and when they gained con- trol he formed a Semenov army and 1 began a long period of guerilla war fare on them. He declares that his | loss of power in Siberia Is entirely due to the fact that the people are demoralized by Bolshevism and by the bad character of it's citizens, who are in the main ex-criminals who have | been released from confinement on the Island of SaShalien and else where.
 The ambition and dream of Seme- | nov is not an independent state in the | Far East, but only an independent Siberia so long as the Bolsheviks rule | Moscow. He recognizes that it is from | European Russia that a. regenerated nation must be directed. He believes that once peace is brought to Siberia | foreign capital can be secured for the development of its economic re- sources, and that if Siberia grows prosperous under non-Bolshevist Lenin and his followers the heaviest l blow possible, since the believers ir | Bolshevism would then have before their eyes the contrast of the two systems. That this will ultimately | come about Semenov supporters are l confident.

NEW RUSSIAN INVENTION ID
 HANDLE CARS

Baku, Azerbaiijan. Nov. 11.-A new Russian invention for propelling rail- road cars by the use of airplane pro- pellers has just resulted in g. smash up.
 Captain SimoloY of the Soviet army had rigged up a flat car with 0 motor to drive big airplane propeller and built a little triangular house on the car. At railroad junction outside of Baku, he tried to induce 8 con- ductor of a train to hitch his air plane car on behind. The conductor refused and the tradn went on for about thre miles and halted.
 As the passengers in the rear coach were making tea, the airplane car came around a curve going at about 50 miles an hour. Most of the pas sengers got out of the rear car by way of the windows and the captain and a girl companion leaped from his fiat car which banged into the rear coach, doubled itself up and jumped the track, @ mass of wreckage. No body was hurt but the proud inven- ton of Bolshevik land had gone to smash.
 The captain said he did not see the train in time to stop but, he added anyway the brake does not work"
 The Russians have been applying this airp1ane propeller device to push trains, automobiles and boats.

TO WAGE WAR ON
 SLEEPING SICKNESS

London, Nov. II. - An expedition formed by the Tropical Dtsasese Pre- vention Association will soon leave to make the first organized attempt to investigate on the spot the treatment of sleeping sickness, as distinct from the question of the mere transmits sion or caue of the disease.
 The expedition will be conducted by four physicians and two veterinary scientists and 1t is expected the work will occupy two and 8 half years. It is sought to carry out the work in different centers with the sanction n and support of the governments in terested and 1t is hoped that 1t will result In a general system of vacci- nation whereby all Individuals ar irving in a danger zone will be in- oculated and so gradually rendered immune.
 The expedition will first work In Uganda It will probably proceed later to the Belgian Congo and it is hoped to extend the work to Rhode sia and the Sudan where there Is a big epidemic of the disease.
 The sleeping sickness has been pre- valent among the natives of West Africa for 100 years. I! Is generally attributed to a parasite carried by a species of the tsetse fly which infeets cattle. The disease has caused heavy mortality among the native Of the Congo and Uganda for many years and is greatly dreaded by Europeans In the parts of Africa where 1t exists It's origin has been the subject of much medical research,

SCHOOL SYSTEM :. OF RUSSIA IS
 IN POOR SHAPE

Petrograd, Nov, 11-(By a staff correspondent of The Associated
 Press) ).-Russia's school system has | suffered in the general breakdown of the economic system. Lurachar- sky, the Commissar of Education. Is endeavoring to correct and preserve the free schools by edio&s, but it is difficult task,
 A great majority of the schools
 in the famine districts are not open ing, and it Is extremely doubtful whether they can be opened this
 Moscow and Petrograd, 1t is doubt
 full whether they can continue unless
 reorganization proceeds with great
 rapidity and energy,
 In an effort to keep the schools go-
 ing, parents have made contributions
 to teachers in the way of money and
 food. and the children have often carried wood daily to the schools to and other supplies have been lacking,
 Lunaoharsky says in a recent state ment that the Cheka. or Commission for the Prevention of Counter Revo- lution insists that the schools must be kept free of parental influence, To accomplish this he announces that the government will name commit l tees in each locality to take charge | of the schools and will empower l these committees to collect money from the parents who are able to pay, | IniS step IS 1n HAe with gen. i eFal decentralization paiiey which the l government is eHdeaveping te carry l out since it altered it's aeenanlie pol= 1 icy and went hack fa domestic free
 trade. Pads which were introduced
 in many of the schools nave very | largely disappeared. Many of the | teachers were extreme idealists in the
 earlier days of the Soviet govern uent and eadeavored to work many
 innovations:
 | The plan of having seheei children l do all the panitor work in the schools 1 resulted in such unsanitary condi- lions that it was aba ndened ip many
 places and eharWreIn men came back: | The schools are badly crowded, In | Moscow most Rf the small children | go to school from until and the older children ga in tine afternoon

 In an effort to piece out their in | adequate salaries teachers work in as
 many schools as possible with the ! result that there are often delays in
 classes. The meals which the gov
 when food is available, are prepared | in central Kitchens and carried by
 children in large vessels to the
 schooia Frequently the meals are late end the school schedule is irreg-
 ulae; The fear which non-Comnanist parents had at one time that the gov ernment would endeaVor to take their children away from them has ap- parently disappeared completely with the announcement of the new 1ecen-
 tralization policy. or even befere that was announced.

PRESIDENT NAMES
 WILSON X. JACKSON MASTER OF HOUNDS

Washington, Nov. 11.-When Presi- dent Harding took office on March 4 last, one of his first official acts was to nominate, confirm and place in senger of the White House staff. one Wilson x. Jackson, as Master of the Hounds.'' Jackson, was then given full charge with authority to train and 9are for the new Presidents prize Airedale pup "Laddie Boy"
 Jackson, despite his stature of nearly five feet. has g. long head and he immediately grasped the possibili- his charge he solemnly decided that a proper diet was absolutely necessary for Laddie Boy if the pup was to grow up to be a credit to the ''boss"
 Armed with his new authority he boldly invaded the White House kitchen and regarded the possibilities of the new cook. As a result of this Hounds proudly announced several days later that the particular dish which Laddie Boy craved as a matter of necessity was "hot waffles."
 Later white bull pup was added to the White House kennels and chris tened "Oh Boy" As there was some doubt as to how the two dogs would get along Oh Boy was given a proba- > House garage before becoming a member of Jackson's entourase. Re gently, however. he was brought over to the White House and his training entrusted to Jackson. Jackson studied the deitary needs of his new charge as carefully as he had with Laddie Boy.
 What does Oh Boy crave to eat most?" he was asked recently by one who remembered Laddie Boys pen chant for waffleS.
 - He don't care nothin' for waffles," replied that individual, but he added solemnly: ''He certainly has got a large appetite for watermelon"
