SLOVAKS DENY
TAKING OF ANY
SIBERIAN LOOT
TOKIO, July 6 (by Associated
Press).—The Czecho-Slovak minister
in Tokio, Garel Pergler, has refuted
the report that the Czech troops
leaving Siberia by the President Grant
were taking hundreds of tons of gold,
silver, copper, machinery, sugar and
other loot. Mr. Pergler said: “The
fact is that whatever the Czecho
slovaks are carrying away from
Siberia, in this case on an American
transport, is their own property, pur
chased with their own money.
“The Czecho-Slovaks have been in
Siberia for a long time. These sol
diers are educated men, many of
them university graduates or intelli
gent artisans and craftsmen. As sol
diers they were alloted a certain
amount of pay. Instead of spending
their pay they pooled their financial
resources and founded a large trading
company and also a bank, the Bank of
the Czecho-Slovak Legionaries. These
resources were increased under Rus
sian conditions because the pay was
£:xed in francs but J>aid in Russian
equivalent of French currency. These
institutions bought considerable sup
plies and it is those supplies which
are now being transported to the re
public.
“The men were especially anxious
to buy cotton ■which is needed for our
textile industry and their purchases
became so extensive. that last ctober
the Russian economist advocated a
limitation of Czech purchases of cot
ton in Siberia, thus incidentally prov
ing that wTe are dealing with legiti
mate trade, based upon the ordinary
methods of sale and purchase.
“What Czech soldiers do with their
income, meagre as it is, is best illus
trated by the fact that in 1918 they
subscribed almost 5.000,000 francs to
a loan initiated by the Czecho-Slo
vak national council for the purpose
of supporting this very army.”
DIVERSIFIED FARMING
IN SONORA VALLEY
NOGALES, Ariz., July 6 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Farmers in the Yaqui
liver district of Sonora are going in
heavily for diversified agriculture,
planting large crops of wheat, rice
cud corn, whereas heretofore they de
voted themselves almost exclusively
to the production of garbanzos ac
cording to Americans who returned
from that section.
This, it is claimed, does not mean
that the garbanzo crop will be ma
terially decreased; but that the far
mers will he sure of one crop that
will make a profitable yield and be
able to rotate props on a scientific
basis instead of exhausting the soil
by the continual planting of the crops.
Rice has already become an import
ant item of exportation from the
Yaqui country, and corn also has been
extensively grown there. The grow
ing of wheat, however, is still some
what of an experiment.
LONDON IS ON EVE OF
REBUILDING PERIOD
LONDON, July 6 (by Associated
Press).—London, which travellers
maintain changes more slowly than|
any other great capital is yielding to
the necessity of providing for con-|
tinued inrushes of population. There
are many indications that the city is
on the eve of an unprecedented era
of rebuilding.
Instead of stretching further into
the beautiful country lying immediate
ly outside its bounds, the predicted
building boom is likely to be a process
of tightening up and levelling up by
better utilization of wasted spaces
and acceptance of the American sky
scraper idea.
Evidences of the last named ‘influ
ence are to be seen today along Lon
don’s newest downtown thorough
fare—Kingsway—near the Strand.
Here a number of buildings, either
built by Americans or designed for
American occupancy, are in the pro
cess of construction. Shortage of
skilled men in the building trades and
hindrances due to England’s lease
hold system are the main handicaps,
but the fact remains that London is
verging toward marked physical
changes.

FIELD MARSHAL SAYS NO
SUCH THING AS PEACE
LONDON, July 6 (by Associated
Press).—What was called a “straight
talk” was given at an annual meeting
of the Union Jack Club by Field-Mar
shal Sir Henry Wilson who described
himself as “an old soldier who knows
what he is talking about.”
“We have been told,” he said, “that
we went into the war to end the war.
We did not. We went into it to save
our skins. We were told that after
the war we would have peace but we
have not got it. There are at present
between 20 and 30 wars, big and little,
going on. We are told that the war
should end war but it did not and
could not.
“We are living in ticklish and dan
gerous times, and our command on
sea, on land, and in the air is being
challenged in various parts of the
world.”
