Germans of VOlga
Form Soviet Rem

Saratoff, Russia, May 16.-Johannes
Schwab, German school teacher of
the Volga District, who is regarded
as a tried and trusted Communist,
heads the exclusive committee of SO
which directs the affairs of the new
German Soviet Republic of Russia.
This socalled republic is federated
with the Union of Soviet Republics
having its capital in Moscow.
The German Volga government en-
braces the fragments of the German
settlements along the Volga which
have survived the great war and the
many civil wars which have taken
place in the Volga area. Germans
first settled here 100 years ago.
Catherine Second promised them
practical independence and exemp-
ton from Russian military service.
But the thrifty Germans became
so prosperous that the Russian gov
eminent would not let them alone
and gradually limited their rights
until the outbreak Of the great war,
when the German schools were clos
ed, the German press was suppressed,
religious liberty was limited and Ger.
man men were forced into the army
Under the Bolshevist government the
colonies suffered the loss of lands
cattle and crops, and many of the
colonists moved away.

LONG DISTANCE SURGERY

Is even surgery to be Industrial
lied? A plan is under considera-
ton in the Mayo sanitorium at
Rochester, Mimi, for utilization of
the radio for long distance opera
ticns.
The idea is to have chart made
through X-rays, of the bodies OF
persons in need of treatment.
The charts would be conveyed by
telegraph or wireless to central
station where experts would hold a
diagnostic clinic to determine if
an operation should be performed
If it were decided such procedure
was necessary, the knife would be
guided by radio from the central
station. All that the attendant sur
geons would have to do would be
to- stand by.
We may come to this some day;
and if we do, it will narrow the
field Of surgery to<a few qualified
experts.
However, it would take some
time for mankind to. become aceus-
toned to mechanical and absent
tt eatment of this kind.
The Thought of submitting to a
ghostly sort of service is rather
disturbing.
But at the rate the world is pro-
crossing in the science and the
utilization of them, an idea that
may seem fantastic today becomes
q successful reality on the morrow

California forest fire statistics

number OF fires for any twelve
months since 1917 The total num-

these were due to lightning which

Others came from sparks scat

be made entirely so in the future.
