llsbment of textile factories In Vladi
ji|: vostok and other eastern Siberian lo
ijij calities Is advocated by a writer In
Iji the Dalny Vostok, which says that the
jS textile industries of the Polish and
ijij Moscow districts no longer exist. The
jiji writer asserts that order soon will
iji; be firmly established here in eastern
ijij Siberia, and that the waterways en
•iji sure the delivery of raw materials and
ijij machinery. He adds:
jiji “Cotton is near at hand in India,
ijij Indi-China, Korea and South Man
jiji churia; wool in Australia, silk In
ijij Japan and China; flax in the Amur
ijij district and in Siberia; hemp in the
jiji Amur regions. Merino has a future
jij- In the Transbaikal region; rough wool
jiji is to be had from Mongolia and Trans
jij; baikalla.
jiji “Raw material and its delivery are
,jj£ cheap, especially with the help of the
£ Russian commercial fleet. Fuel is
= near at hand; immense coal fields are
near the coasts. Suchan awaits ex
:jij ploitation. Labor is insured by the
jiji presence of immigrants and the
jij! trained cheap labor of Chinese and
ijij Japanese.
ijj; “The Far East and Manchuria used
ijij 70,000,000 rubles worth of textile
jiji goods from Moscow—at the price cur
jjjj rent before the war—per year. Si
ijij beria offers an immense market, not
jiji to consider Russia, when it is cheaper
ijij to transport manufactured goods by
jijj sea than to bring cotton from Turke
ijij stan to Moscow. Vladivostok and the
ijij surrounding districts must be declared
jiji a free port, vyith free access for raw
ijij material. The government must co
;.‘;i operate to firmly establish foreign
= capital in textile industries. Wa must
hurry before Great Britain, America
and Germany get to work it full
speed, for then it will be too late.”

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
LOOKING AFTER OUR BOYS
PARIS, Peb. 2 (by mail).—One of
the activities of the Knights of Co
lumbus in the war area is the mobile
kitchen group which is following the
American expeditionary force from
camp to camp.
On the long marches that have be
come the rule since the signtyi^tSf (he
armistice the men find hot chocolate,
bouillon and other warm food most ac
ceptable. Twenty of these cars are
in use in the area of military opera
tions of Prance, Belgium and Ger
many. Others will soon be sent to
Italy and the south of Prance. Like
every other service of the Knights of
Columbus, the distribution of the prod
ucts of these kitchens is free, it is
announced. The service will be con
tinued until the last American unit
has embarked for America.
GREAT NEED OF
CLOTHING BY
THE SERBIANS
NISH, Serbia, Feb. 6 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—Three
months of unremitting industry, un
hampered by Bulgarian and Austrian
depredations or interference, have en
abled the Serbian people to secure a
new hold on life. With the country
entirely free of invaders, the large
peasant population has succeeded in
setting things in order in surprising
fashion, and conditions should be al
most normal soon.
Large quantities of wheat and other
staples, which the shrewd Serbian
farmers hid from the enemy, have re
appeared. At the moment the most
pressing needs seem to be clothing,
shoes, fuel and agricultural imple
ments.
Apparently there is plenty of money
in the country, some of it having come
from Austrian and German soldiers,
who, it may be said to their credit,
paid for most of the articles they took
from the Serbians during their occu
pation. However, the Bulgarians, who
requisitioned almost everything they
required from the already straitened
population, often paid nothing for
what they took. In the cities most
of the stores have no stocks because
they sold everything to the Austrians
and Germans.
Fortunately the harvest last fall
was exceptionally good and there
probably will be nothing approaching
starvation among the poor this winter.
The enemy troops carried off almost
every article of value they could lay
hands on, but they did not have time,
owing to the suddenness of their re
treat, to take with them more than ‘.’b
per cent of the available grain supply
Meat is abundant, though high in
price. Before the war it sold for six
cents a pound, now it sells for ^fty
six cents. Large numbers of sheep
raised in the mountains furnish not
only a valuable meat supply but an
abundance of wool, which has pro
vided the peasants with the only cloth
ing they have had in fou1- years.
Serbia’s most vital need is for cloth
ing. Even well-to-do persons are
shabbily or, at least, scantily clad.
The Associated Press correspondent
observed an army officer of high rank
Iressed in a skirt made of flour
sacks. The little clothing that may
be bought is held at prohibitive
prices. The ordinary peasant work
ing costume costs $150, shoes $50,
underwear of poor quality $26, and
thread is priced at $2 a spool. A con
signment of old clothes from the Buf
falo, N. Y., chapter of the American '
Red Cross, valued at home at $Y2, was
appraised at $1,500 bjf a merchant in
the Pirot district where the Red Crocs
is carrying on relief work. The Buf
falo supplied were distributed on
Christmas day and brought happiness
to many homes.

WOMEN WORKERS
WITH AMERICANS
CARDIFF, Wales, Feb. 8.— Testi
nony to the qualities of some of the
American troops in France is given
by a girl member of the Woman’s
tuxillary Army corps in a letter to
ler home folks here. She writes:
“We are stationed inside an Ameri
can camp in a huge old French cav
ilry barracks. We are doing clerical
svork with hundreds and hundreds of
Americans in the central records of
fice. We deal with the whole Ameri
can army records, and excepting the
cooks, waitresses, etc., all we 400 odd
girls are really the ‘Waacs’ of the
American expeditionary force.
“We love the work, we love the
camp and the boys look after us well.
They are splendid fellows. We have
comfortable rooms, a recreation room
and hockey and are as happy as pos
sible. And now we are getting up a
grand revue called the ‘Battle of Bour
gas.’ I am to be a French girl. The
chorus Is one of the best and the
music truly American. I’m afraid your
music over there when we come back
won’t have enough ‘pep’ In It. Hon
estly, the boys can play. Even those
who are doing scavenger work In the
camp can play the violin and piano.”
