AGED BISHOP
MURDERED BY
RUSSIAN REDS
VLADIVOSTOK, Jan. 14 (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press).—
Bishop Hermogen of Tobolsk was
tortured and murdered by Bolsheviki,
according to a private letter received
here. Since the early days of Bol
shevism the bishop had fearlessly de
nounced their work and for this was
forbidden to preach.
The aged churchman defied the Bol
sheviki and in his preachings dis
played greater energy than ever be
fore in condemning the Soviet authori
ties. The Bolsheviki arrested him
and took him to Ekaterinburg. There
upon the population of Tobolsk prov
ince, who greatly revered their old
bishop, sent a delegation to demand
his liberation.
The Czecho-Slovaks at that time
began to occupy western Siberia and
the Bolsheviki feared to provoke the
peasants of Tobolsk. They released
the bishop and started him back to
Tobolsk under escort of Red Guard
troops. A steamer was provided and
the delegation, headed by the bishop,
proceeded triumphantly as far as Pak
rovsk village. Here they met a
steamer carrying the Czecho-Slovaks
or White Guards. Rather than have
the bishop liberated by them, the Red
Guard decided to kill him. The old
man was beaten and forced to carry
heavy burdens of ammunition during
the flight of the convoy. When he
could go no further, says the inform
ant, his torturers tied a rock to his
feet and threw him into the river.
The body was recovered later by his
people and given burial in Tobolsk.

AMERICAN COMMUNITY
AIDED INJURED SAILORS
TOKIO, Jan. 15 (by mail).—A
funeral service was held December
14 on board the United States cruiser
Brooklyn in Yokohama harbor in
memory of the ten men who suc
cumbed to burns suffered in an explo
sion, while coaling the ship, on De
cember 9., The dead were all firemen.
The service was led by Bishop Harris
of the Methodist mission and the Rev.
E. M. Strong, chaplain of the English
church in Yokohama. Present, be
sides Admiral Rogers, Commander in
Chief of the United States Asiatic
squadron, were the American ambas
sador, Roland S. Morris, and Mrs.
Morris, Consul, General G. H. Scid
more, the commander of the French
cruiser Kersaint, and leading citizens
of the American community in Yoko
hama.
No further deaths have occurred
among the thirty-seven men who were
burned in the explosion, though at
first it seemed that twenty must die
of burns. Dr. Fontleroy of the Am
erican naval hospital in Yokohama
and the several young women of the
American community immediately
responded to his call for volunteer
nurses. The work of these girls aided
the injured men to endure their days
of suffering. t
ALLIES’RAILWAY POLICY
DISTRUSTED BY RUSSIANS
VLADIVOSTOK, Jan. 17 (by mail).
—Distrust of the good intention of the
allies in seeking control of the trans
Siberian railway is voiced by the or
gan here of the Social Democrats. It
says:
“The allies have decided to improve
our transportation system. They are
taking the railways into their hands,
the English as far as Chita, the Jap
anese the trans-Baikal railway, and
the Americans the line from Irkutsk
to the front. We cannot tell what this
friendly assistance is going to cost
Russia.
“The allies are making agreements
among themselves; we are out of the
deal. As long as we continue our in
ternal carnage and amuse ourselves
with ‘recognitions’ and ‘coup d’etats’
of governments the allies will be
masters in our own house.”

MINISTRATIONS
OF WOMENFOLK
AT Tffi FRONT
NEW Y0RK, Feb. 3 (by mail).—
Eggs in any style, ice cream of any
quality, and an American woman to
serve them—that sums up the re
quirements necessary to keep the
American soldier happy overseas, now
that he has finished the job for which
he left home, judging from letters re
ceived by the women's canteen divi
sion of the Young Men’s Christian As
sociation. If the American woman
is there the soldier will forego, if
necessary, the eggs and the ice cream.
More than 1,600 women are now over
sease in “Y” uniform, it is announced.
Mrs. Rebecca Ely of New York city,
who was sent to France in the latter
part of 1917, tells a story that begins
with one boy bringing her a present
to show his appreciation of many
things she had done for him. "1’ou
must promise to eat this all yourself,
Mrs. Ely,” he said. “It’s a surprise.
The “surprise” proved to be what
was a rare treat in France—a half
dozen fresh eggs. Eggs were then
being sold, when anyone was lucky
enough to get them at all, at 12 francs
a dozen. Mrs. Ely went back to the
barracks carrying the eggs. An or
derly came out to meet her and said
that a sick officer was asking for her,
and would she please come. She went
and found a very depressed patient.
“What’s the use, Mrs. Ely?” You
couldn’t give me what I want,” grum
bled the officer in reply to her ques
tions.
“Maybe I could. Try and see.”
“Nope; they don’t grow in these
parts. The only thing I really want is
a couple of poached eggs. That’s
what I’d have if I were home.”
“All right,” said Mrs. Ely, producing
her treasures to a very much aston
ished young man. “How would some
tea go with that order?”
So for three days she made tea
and poached eggs on toast for him
with her own hands, just as he would
have had them at home. At the end
of that time he was so much better
and more cheerful that he was able
to mess in the barracks.
There was another time, at Belfort,
when an orderly brought Mrs. Ely
word that a dying soldier wanted to
□ oa Vior Whon oho urent tn the had.
side she found a boy she had often
served at mess.
“I wish I had some ice cream,”
came a pleading voice from a weak,
parched throat.
Now, ice cream was an impossible
thing in that part of France. But
Mrs. Ely said he should have Borne.
She made a boiled cuBtard and froze
it by the skillful use of a pail of
frozen water that she has found. And
how good it tasted to that American
boy when she fed it to him!
“Please make me some more to
morrow,” he said.
.He died that night.
The sick soldier is very much like
a little boy, and he longs for the little
attentions his mother would give him.
So that is what this woman and hun
dreds more of them have done—been
mothers to them.

DISTRIBUTES PROFITS
TO JAPANESE WORKMEN
TOKIO, .Japan, Jan. 3 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—The
labor question Is receiving wide at
tention in Japan. The home office of
the imperial government has estab
lished a relief works committee to
deal with the problem of unemployed
due to the cessation of war work. A
firm policy is favored on the ground
that freedom of holding meetings does
not tend to lessen labor discontent,
and that, in Japan, permission to or
ganize unions does not seem as prom
ising as the establishment of a-labor
arbitration court.
Meanwhile a radical and Interest
ing step has been taken by K. Matsu
kata, president of the Kawasaki Dock
Company of Kobe, who, in distribut
ing about $5,000,0.00 profits at the end
of the year, has allotted three-fourths
to his workmen and other employes as
against one-fourth to the directors of
the company. Mr. Matsukata is a
graduate of Yale and the eldest son of
Marquis Matsukata, one of the four
remaining genro, or elder statesmen,
of the empire.
Japan’s one labor organization, the
Yualkal, has sent ltB president, Bunji
Suzuki, to the labor congress in
Europe. He is pledged to work for
free immigration of laborers, which
his society regards as the one ques
tion of vital importance to Japan.
The; Yualkal has about 30,000 mem
bers and has been promotel by the .
American Unitarian mission in Toklo.
