-GREAT NEED OF
RUSSIAN ARMY
FOR SUPPLIES
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Prince Can
tacuzene, who married the daughter
*of President Grant, and who is in
this country on a military mission for
the Kolchak government of Russia,
said today concerning the reports that
Kolchak had given up the command:
^ "Whether or not Kolchak has been
forced to resign active command of the
all-Russian armies necause of illness,
the military situation is not seriously
altered thereby. There are other men
in the Russian army who will carry
on the fighting as long as there is a
foot of ground left. There is vast ter
ritory between the Russian front and
the Pacific Ocean and even if Irkutsk
has fallen into the hands of the Bol
* sheviki, which I myself find hard to
believe, the all-Russian army will
carry on.
"The Kolchak armies have the men
and they have many and excellent
officers. WTiat they need is supplies.
They have no shoes, no clothes, very
little ammunition, and very little
food. If the Allies wish to stop the
spread of Bolshevism throughout the
world, they must come to the rescue
of Kolchak and Denikine. Semenoff
^is a Cossack. He is an honest and
strong man. I do not believe that he
is playing into the hands of the Jap
anese as people in America are in
tn hplipvp PTp is a Russian
and a patriot. His methods are ruth
less, but his purpose is to fight the
Bolsheviki and save the world from
their clutches.
^ “The Kolchak armies are fighting on
The. defensive. Until they are given
supplies by the Allies, they will not
be able to take the offensive. Their
great contribution to the peace of the
world at present is that they are pre
venting the spread of Bolshevism in
to the Orient.
“The Bolsheviki in Russia have
failed. They know that they have
failed. It is only a matter of time
before the peasants, who are disil
lusioned and bitter, uprise once more
and annihilate the Bolsheviki govern
ment.- When that happens what will
the leaders of Bolshivism do? Russia
is already looted and impoverished.
There is little more to gain by hold
ing powrer in Russia. Their obvious
,Wiim is to find new worlds to conquer.
There is a great opportunity for them
among the ignorant masses of China
and India. Once leaders and the
pi%paganda of the Bolsheviki have
entered the swarming lands of the
Orient, there is no estimating the
suffering and horror that will descend
upon the world. Nothing stands be
tween the Western nations and such
a catastrophe except the thin waver
ing line of the Kolchak forces.
“There are Chinese in the Bolshev
iki armies. These men were paid
10,000 rubles apiece in paper money
for taking Omsk. The city presented
picture of desolation and horror un
matched in the entire war, after it
had been looted by the Chinese mer
cenaries. These men are anxious to
return to their homes and they have
been taught to believe that the only
idling which prevents their returning
is the Kolchak armies. Once they
break through they will return to
China to spread Bolshevik doctrines
from one end of the Orient to the
other.
“If Bolshevism can he kept isolated
in Russia, it will wear itself out with
its own excesses. Bolshevim is like
a sickness preying upon the weak and
ignorant. By cutting off the terri
ftory occupied by the Bolsheviki by
means of military force, the disease
will wear itself out. Governments
are slow moving, but there is one
thing which can be done by the peo
ple of America immediately? Behind i
the Kolchak army there is another
pitiful army of refugees. Hundreds
of thousands of people have fled out
of Bolshevik Russia into Siberia
They are under the protection and
care of Kolchak and the military i
authorities, and Kolchak has neither
trife supplies nor the equipment to care
for them properly. They are scat
tered all the way across Siberia on
the line of Railroad.
“They are living in box cars—25 i
and 30 women and children in one car.
They have nothing between them and
weather which is at 45 degrees below
zero, except the thin board walls of
the cars. Their only heat is from
small stoves in these cars which they
keep supplied by pulling down old *
snow sheds and gathering fagots. This
£\jel makes a hot fire for a few mo
ments but soon burns out. They have
insufficient clothes to protect them
against the weather and no shoes or
medical supplies. I helped to carry ^
i
out 18 corpses from one car and to
bury them. Only those 'in the prime
of life are living today. The old
"people ahd the young, children have
all died.
“They cannot survive the hardships,
and these people are the educated
classes of Russia. Among them are
the professional classes, the trades
people, clerk and skilled workmen.:
The villages cannot care for them.
Little towns built for a few people
are already over-crowded, and the
peasants have all they can do to feed
and warm themselves and the peo
ple in their homes. If America will
but help to care for this army of
refugees, a terrible responsibility will
have been lifted from the shoulders
of the Russian armies and thousands
of valuable lives will be saved for
the future.
‘The American Central Committee
for Russian Relief has undertaken
the work of rescuing this pitiul rem
nant of a once great nation. If sup
plies can be sent quickly, a great ser
vice will have been rendered to Rus
sia and to humanity.”

How We Sterilize
Your Family Washing
Unseen foes of good health lurk all about us— §
in the air, on our clothes. We know that I
clothes that merely look clean may be highly |
impure. To be truly clean, clothes must be
sterilized as well as washed. =
• 5
That is one of the many reasons our laundry
service should appeal to you. When you
send them to us, your bed linens, garments h
and household things are more than washed. f
They are purified.
We are able to do this because we completely
change from nine to twelve times the waters
in which we wash your clothes. In addition, I
we use a number of disinfecting solutions. §
One of these is “Javelle Water”.
There is absolutely no chance for disease be- §
ing spread through the modem laundry”, de
clares Dr. H. G. Elledge of the Mellon Institute
of Industrial Research, who has investigated
laundry methods. |
Can you be as sure of this cleanliness and
sterilization when you entrust your family bun
dle to some unknown washwoman? f
Let us help you safeguard the health of your
family. Send your family washing to us.
