 A "Teacherage," or residence for the school teacher, and commendable improvements in the school toilet facilities are included in invitations for con- struction bids called for Fri day by the Hyder School Board.
 Plans for the Teacherage call for a IA by 20 foot extension on the westerly end of the school building, the addition to contain a living room, closet and kitchen, with a door lead ing directly into the school house. The interior is to be finished in plasterboard and will provide comfortable and commodious quarters for the teacher.
 The school toilet is to be moved to a new location and materially improved. The call for bids provides that local lumber shall be used wherever possible. Bids for the two i'm provements are to be submit ted by 10 A. M. next Monday, 1 May IS.

Hundreds Of Chinese Killed In The Drive
 Across Manchuria
Japanese Commander Meets the United Press Writer and Describes the Scenes as Iie Witnessed Them

Gen Tarnon is 53 year old and the. head of the Japanese military college: "A small man, half bald and wearing spectacles. the Japan ese military leader spoke deliber- ateIy as the correspondent ques- toned him. %
 IT understood that many of Ma Cham -Shan's fugitive troops were hiding in Tsitsihar so ordered the Japanese troops to parade through the city to show the Chi- nese the strength of our forces and our demand for discipline. I must say that the Chinese were extreme ly clever in saving themselves" Gen Tamon said.
 Throughout the conversation the anese troops had not touched An gansia or the Soviet-controlled Chinese eastern railway, implying that the Japanese thus avoided trespassing in territory over. which the Soviets share Jurisdiction. The general ordered the Chinese chief of police and the chamber of commerce to keep peace in Tsitsihar. I found Chinese police directing. traffic and performing their normal duties throughout the city. A detachment of Japan ese cavalray was seen in the streets occasionally.
 The Chinese population obviously was bewildered. Many Chinese gathered on the principal streets and stared at the Japanese soldiers. I found the. side streets teemtng with repressed excitement. .
 Gen Tamon was reticent regard ing establishment of 8 Chinese

 Tsitsihar. Manchuria, Nov 23-- Delayed by censor) Hundreds of Chinese were killed in the Japan ese advance across the bleak Man churian country between Angan. chi and Tsitsihar, Gen Jir0 Tamon estimated when he received me foI an interview here.
 Gen Tamon, Commander of Jap- anase forces north of the Chinese eastern railroad did not know ex- actly how many Chinese fell in the Japanese offensive. The drive end ed with capture of Tsitihar and the flight of Gen Ma Chan-Shan. T saw many bodies as I went by automobile north from Anganchi The Jananese commander merely estimated the Chinese dead as many hundreds"
 The Japanse did not take any prisoners, Gen Tamos said. Chinese soldiers who surrendered were dis armed and turned loose, he said. The general said that IS Japanese were known killed in the drive to Tsitsihar and that 55 were killed and ITO wounded in previous fighting in the Nonni river dis trict.
 Gen Tamon was not optimistic over the chances of the league of nations council settling the Man. churian conflict, and ending the casualties. He said he found the league "very annoying"

 The majority of travelling Rus sians carry food sacks with them, eat at the station cafeterias or buy from vendors.
 At Sinelnikov we had three hour wait so we got in line for lunch. Half the waiting room was used for a cafeteria. Three long tables; each with worn oilcloth. filled the center of this room. For 60 kopecks (3O cents) we got tick cts for a hot plate which a. wait ress in a soiled white apron brought us. It had a outlet of chopped meat, some boiled cab- bage, stewed tomatoes, and two slices of black bread. You soon learn to bargain at the food counters as the Russians do. Half the fun of travelling third Is to jump off at various stations and buy food. Women and chfl- dren line up with all kinds or viands to sell. There seems to De plenty of food outside of Moscow. Food shortage in the cities IS, you realize, transportation problem.
 
 At Kramatorsh, in the Don Cos sack country, where new glass fac- tories are causing d boom, blocks of women sold broiled chickens for 50 cents each, round cheese, fried fish of several kinds, Is cents each. including a tiny scarlet fish that looked like a lobster and tasted even better, some cheese, pats of butter. 50 cents, and the staple hard boiled eggs, four for 50 cents.
 Here I saw a little barefoot boy with a big brown earthen Jug Of boiled milk he was selling, running his fingers around the inside or the jug and sucking them and then sticking them in again to repeat the process as he ran from pial- form to platform to offer the milk for Is cents a glass.

 One day, down in the Caucasus I gave an old, fat peasant woman and her two children a piece oi gum which she chewed with great energy for several hours. The next day each child in turn got the gum.

 wild dogs had attacked bodies of both men and horses. I saw peasants proving over the prarieD apparently in search of plumber. Two miles out side Tsitsihar ! reached a farm house surrounded by a stone wall. Inside the court yard was a company of 50 Jap- anese soldiers, in muffled uniforms, wearing steel helmets, with frozen mud caked on their rifles and knak- sacks. They were guarding Japan ese wounded, ignoring the bodies l of Chinese soldiers near them. An officer handed the Japanese rations and cigarets. Japanese cavalrymen on guard outside the city approached my car with drawn guns. found the Japanese general staff quartered in the offices of the south Manchuria railway. The lawn was covered with grimy Japanese troops, some sleeping despite sub-Zero weather.
 The only American witness of the retreat of Gen Ma was J. G. Vos, a missionary from Pinceton,. N, J. He told me how he stood in the window of his hotel at Angancia and watched the Chinese rush across the Chinese eastern railroad tracks in the greatest confusion.

Americans that they may get a stranger of the opposite sex in their compliments. Coming out from Moscow drew a lower berth in 8 "soft'' compartment for four, with an American engineer and a Russian chemist as my companions When I was ready to. turn in, merely said so and they both got up and went out into the corridor to smoke.
 I closed the door and when un- dressed, opened the door, crawled in and turned my face to the wall. When the last person in was ready for bed, he shut and locked the door, and turned out the light. In the morning, the plan was reversed.
 
 Any trip out of Moscow through the country shows you the growth of Russia more than the capital it. self. In 1925, on the whole trip from China, Siberian villages were composed of tiny mud or wooden houses, set in unattractive mud streets, were grouped about a dec- orative Russian church. Its gold starred dome stood out as the dom- mating feature of every settlement.
 To-day, travelling through the country, many of the churches still remain, but new, huge smokestacks pouring forth black smoke and new silos full of new grain, dominate the scene.
 The Russians travelling with you will point out the srnokestacks and granaries and hold forth for hours on figures of production that are being reached under the Five Year Plan.
