EDUCATING SIBERIANS
ON AMERICA’S AIMS
OMSK, Siberia, Feb. 2 (Correspon
dence of the Associated Press).—An
American flag floating above the side
walk and a picture of President Wil
son in a window beside the flag is one
of the first sights the American sees
as, after a long, tedious and even dan
gerous trip from Vladivostok, he is
driven at lightning speed in a tiny
sleigh or sled down the principal street
of Omsk.
The correspondent found that the
flag hung over the door of the Ameri
can committee on public information.
The Omsk branch of this organiza
tion was founded and is conducted by
Robert E. Winters of Washington, D.
C. Like the correspondent of the As
sociated Press, he labors by candle
light. When a visitor comes, the ex
isting courtesy is to light a second
candle. Cigarettes and cigars are
lighted by candles and not by matches,
for matches are very expensive and
are becoming scarce. Life in Omsk
teaches respect for the little comforts
of life one has previously disdained.
On an average 500 Russians come
every day to the office of the com
mittee on public information. They
come for the pamphlets and other lit
erature, printed in Russian, which the
committee distributes for the purpose
of enlightening the people of Russia
as to the aims and objects of the
American people in the war and the
general attitude of the United States
on great world problems. Letters re
questing copies of pamphlets are re
ceived from all parts of Siberia. Some
of them inclose a bank note, which is
promptly returned. Literature is dis
tributed to thousands of people and
to newspapers and institutions of
learning and various organizations.
The Siberian Creamery Association,
which has its headquarters at Bar
nouh, near the city of Tomsk, recently
asked for 5,000 copies of the com
mittee’s weekly bulletin for distribu
tion among its members.
In this way the ideals of America
are being spread broadcast among the
people of Russia.

BOBBY SHELDON NOW IN
CHARGE OF HIGHWAYS
Bob Sheldon, the newly elected
road commissioner for the Fourth di
vision, is duly installed in office and
is vested with full authority to act.
He recently received his certificate of
election and has taken the oath of
office before the clerk of the court.
He will now be enabled to build roads
from this time on.
As soon as Bob received his “di
ploma” he had his beard trimmed to a
professional Van Dyke and now looks
the part of an astute man of the world.
Bob has many good schemes up his
sleeve for the betterment of the trails
and roads tpf the interior but until
funds are available to carry them out
he will keep strictly to himself.—

TURKISH RESERVISTS
TERRORIZING GREEKS
LONDON, March 10 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—In
formation received here from Batum
indicates that, despite the surrender
of the Turkish forces, the position of
the Greeks south of the Black Sea'and
in the Caucasus is tragic.
It is alleged that outrages are be
ing committed by the demobilized
but still armed Turkish reservists and
that the Young Turk commander, Gen
eral Halid Pasha, has been pursuing
a policy of systematic extermhiation
of Christians.
This officer, who is a friend of En
ver Pasha, is said to be supplying
arms to Turkish irregulars in the Rus
sian territories evacuated by the
Turkish army. Lately he received
from Turkish sources 200 carloads of
arms and munitions.
It is charged that these reservists
and irregulars loot and massacre the
Greek population.
The flourishing Greek town of San
da, near Trebizond, with a population
of about 8,000, is reported besieged
by Turkish reservists. The Greeks,
profiting by the naturally strong posi
tion of the town, are offering heroic
resistance.
WOMEN NOT*ADMITTED
TO CHURCH ASSEMBLY
LONDON, March 1 (by mail).—
“Women are to be admitted to the
councils of the church but not to the
great assembly of the Church of Eng
land,” said the dean of Westminster
in presenting the grand committee’s
report to the meeting of the represen
tative council of the church, presided
over by the archbishop of Canterbury.
It was stated that divisions on the
question of admitting women to the
great assembly were extremely close,
but many members thought they ought
not to take action in advance of the
action of parliament.
CANDY EAGERLY SOUGHT I
BY PEACE ATTACHES
PARIS, March 10 (by mail).—One
of the features of the peace confer
ence is the queue which forms daily
in the corridor of the hotel which
shelters the American delegates to
buy candy from the canteen estab
lished by the American government to
supply cigars, cigarettes, candy and
chewing gum to the hundreds of spe
cialists and other government lem
cialists and other government em
ployes quartered there.
Candy is so scarce and so expensive
in Paris that it is the favorite article
,on sale in all American army, Red
Cross and Young Men’s Christian As
sociation canteens. The allowance
given to each canteen daily is small. ,
Consequently, the men with a sweet
tooth watch eagerly for the arrival of
the daily supply gnd struggle for ad
vanced positions in the line which al
ways contains more buyers than there
are packages of candy.
No man is allowed to have more
than one pound of candy and the price
is 3 francs a pound. Army officers,
stenographers, correspondents, his- <
torians and bespectacled specialists
on Mesopotamia and trans-Caucasia
good-naturedly contend for one of the
overseas tins of chocolates.
PREMIUMS EXCEED LOSSES
IN AIR RAID INSURANCE
LONDON, March 2 (by mail).—It
the house of commons that the excess
of premiums over payments under the
government aircraft insurance scheme,
which provided payment of damages
through loss from air raids, amounts
to more than £10,000,000.
