VLADIVOSTOK. Siberia. April 10
Crowded into a dozen large barracks
at Nikolskussuri are 10000 men and
a couple of hundred women. the sole
survivors of the kappel army. after
a retreat of 1000 miles. They have
reached the last corner of Siberia, and
are at the end of their own resources
in money. food and clothing. Their
principles and courage remain, how
ever. and they are stubbornly deter
mined not to return to the Urals. COM
promise with the bolsheviki or join
the Cossacks advocating another
brand of democracy.
THE men have not been paid since
December" said Col. Savechuk, chief
of staff, as he stood in the midst of
group of officers. I'VE have enough
of our meager rations to last US an
other day. but after that God only
knows what will become of us. We
fear that the Chita governments
promise to allow us to return to our
homes means that it will wreak VEN
geance on us once we are scattered.
or 900 accepting the offer and leaving
the camp all were arrested when they
reached Verkneudinsk. and but eight
were permitted to continue on to their
homes. and the others were either
shot or condemned to five years
servitude in the mines.
Our 100000 in gold was filched
from us and given to Gen. Semenov.
He promised to pay us daily pit
tance on condition that we acknowl-
edge him as our leader. We cannot
acknowledge the leadership Of man
who fed in an aeroplane, deserting
his own soldiers. While the Japanese
are here maintaining order our lives
are safe. Some of the men are earning
a few kopecks selling newspapers in
Nladivostok and others have better
jobs We shall be willing to join the
Chita government when communism
is abolished; otherwise when we are
Unable to endure the position any
longer we shall be ready to walk the
1000 miles back to our homes"
The Kappelists were originally re-
cruited from the workers in the big
factories in the Ural mountains. They
have been fighting continuously since
1914. Out of 10000 recruits from one
factory 500 now survive. The retreat
across frozen Siberia, cutting a way
through the forests and avoiding the
railroads. was the longest in the his
tory of the world. The survivors say
that Kappel froze his feet while
crossing the ice on the Kan river
north of krasnoyarsk and died.
One of the soldiers expressed the
kappelist spirit when he said
Il have been wounded four times
Two of my brothers were wounded
in fighting for Russian freedom AS
soon as we get our arms back we
shall be able to resume fighting"

been pursued for many, many years, the
highest art of perfection has been attained
The threads of Japanese crepes are twisted
by hand and woven on hand looms, giving
that peculiar lasting crepe effect, softness
OF texture and an unusual wearing quality
which distinguish these from the ordinary
crepes. The oriental dyes, which are used
are noted for their delicate colors and dura-
blity.
The wide range of colorings offers an al

kEE? SEWING BASKET HANDY
Convenience Should Be Available in
Bedroom, Sewing and Sitting
Rooms as Time-Saver.

Keep a completely stocked sewing
basket in bedroom, sewing room and
sitting room. IN this way many quick
stitches can be taken, which would
not have been taken if everything had
to be hunted up.
In the sitting room basket, keep a
piece OF pickup work and when an -un-
expected caller comes, this can be
worked on, when one would not fee
at liberty to take time TO hunt up the
things. Also keep a sewing bag ready
with q piece OF work and necessar!
threads. etc, so that when you go Ou
to call or visit there is always some
thing ready to take with you. This Is
a little extra expense to begin with
as it requires four pairs of scissors
and four thimbles. but it amply re
pays in the end in the extra amoun
of work done.
