RELIEF WORK
OF RED CROSS
INjSIBERIA
VLADIVOSTOK, Feb 1 (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press).—
The American Red Cross in eastern
Siberia through its refugee relief de
partment is caring for nearly 2,500
refugees. Half of these are handled
directly through a distribution cen
ter in Vladivostok. There are 400 in
barracks at First River, in the edge
of the city. Further on, at Second
River, are 300 Armenians in a bar
racks by themselves. Most of these
refugees are receiving food and cloth
ing; there are a certain number who
are self-supporting and only require
lodgings.
A plan is being worked out to send
the Armenians to Port Said on a Jap
anese steamer. Efforts are also being
made to find transportation for 420
Serbians. Occupation has been found
for a large number of destitute per
sons. An employment bureau has
been established and it is probable
that soon places can be found for all
those who wish to work. The Canadi
an military organization has asked
the Red Cross to man a steam laun
dry for the Canadian troops. Likewise
the American army has made plans
for a service laundry at the base here
which will furnish employment for
a number of laundresses.
Bishop H. St. George Tucker, who
recently returned from western. Si
beria, where he went in the interests
of the Red Cross, reported that there
were some 8,500 persons there legiti
mate objects for the Red Cross s
sistance, in need of immediate help.
In this number figure a group of Pet
rograd children. Many hundreds of
these were sent to Siberia for safety
at a time when the Bolshevik out
rages were beginning. They were
found in seven different cities, unpro
vided for and in great need. Cloth
ing is being provided for them irom
stocks in Vlaivosotok and they are re
ceiving attention.
In Omsk, Novonikolaevsk and Che
liabinsk, where typhus has made con
siderable headway, the Red Cross is
working in conjunction with the Rus
sians to give medical aid. Relief train
No. 4 has left for the west carrying
medical supplies and clothing. The
last relief train sent from here, in
charge of the Japanese Red Cross
unit, reached Omsk about a month
after leaving Vladivostok.

MURDERED MINISTER’S
PLANS FOR BAVARIA
MUNICH, March 1 (by Associated
Press).—The new Bavarian govern
ment has undertaken systematically
to organize the reconstruction of in
dustries and the development of trade
by the organization of a new state com
mission to be composed of engineers
who will endeavor to solve many of
the intricate problems of a return
from a war to a peace basis. The
new organization is to be known as
the commission for the furtherance
and development of industry and
trade.
The late Minister of the Interior
Auer, who was forced by a mob to re
sign his office, had promoted this or
ganization and declared that the up
building of the farm, trade and indus
try was the most urgent problem to
be solved during the reconstruction
period. "Without them,” he said,
"there can be no work; without work
no bread nor any freedom.”
It is intended that the new commis
sion of engineers shall co-operate with
the government by making an inten
sive study of the supplies of raw ma
terial and sources of energy such as
mines, water power and electricity, so
as to direct an economical use of en
ergy and develop new industrial un
dertakings for the purpose of utilizing
all sources of power. The commission
is intended to constantly advise the
government and manufacturers con
cerning the use of all raw materials,
including fuel. It will suggest the
transfer of ailing industries to other
fields and co-operatq with the gov
ernment in the regulation of imports
and exports.
The government is expected to con
sult with this commission in deciding
tariff questions. It is planned that
the new commission shall make a
study of the possibility of increasing
the efficiency and economic operation
of state railways and other state in
dustrial operations. It will be charged
with the duty of providing technical
journals with information concerning
new business enterprises and selling
opportunities outside of Bavaria. It
is to co-operate with similar commis
sions if organized by the other states
in the new German republic, and with
the economic department of the cen
tral government.
Minister Auer declared that the eco
ngpiic future of RavarUtvh&dV all of
Germany depended upon the opera
tions of this commission. If, he said,
the territorial ambitions of the entente
and Poland were even partly fulfilled
in the peace terms, and even if th^
Pfalz and Saar territories remained
with Germany, that country would
have to work desperately to replace
the economic loss of Alsace-Lorraine
and upper Silesia. Bavaria, he be
lieved, could play a large part in this
work of recuperation, since ft was
almost virgin soil so far as the devel
opment of its industries was con
cerned, and had huge Industrial pos
sibilities.

HATED GERMAN i
NOT FAVORED 1
IN HOUfAND)
i ;i
THE HAGUE, Feb. 8 (Correspond- :j
ence of the Associated Prefe).—Baron ji
Von der Lancken, formej]^ German ij
civil governor of Belgium, sought ref- ij
uge in Holland when the Germans re- ij
treated from Belgium. | Von der ij
Lancken was the man to whom the jj
American minister, Brand Whitlock, ij
delivered his vain appeal to spare the jj
life of Edith Cavell, the English nurse jj
who was executed by the Qermans in ij
October, 1915, for aiding the British, jj
French and Belgian soldiers to escape ij
from Belgium. Von der Lagcken then jj
told Hugh Gibson, secretary of the jj
American legation, that ttyp sentence ij
imposed by the military governor on j:
Miss Cavell was final and that the jj
civil governor could not overrule it. jj
When Von der Lancken arrived here jj
he went to the German legation, but in &
order to obtain food cards; he had to ij
apply to the police station, where he jj
failed miserably in his efforts to ob- ij
tain preferential treatment as a “dis- ij;
tlnguished visitor.” A clpnce caller jj
there found him in line with a group ij
of unwashed refugees,! his well- ji
groomed figure out of keeping with §
his surroundings. He wa| compelled $
to stand in line for two hours before j:
his wants were attended ti. :!
To one who rememberji the time ij
when to get a word from Von der ji
Lancken in Brussels it w|p necessary ij
to give two days' notice, (after which jj
one had to struggle throj|gh a body- ji
guard of haughty, suspicious under- ij
lings, the spectacle of this exquisite ji
specimen of Prussian i junkerdom ij
waiting his turn in the file amid the jj
grimy proletariat afforded excellent j
illustration of “the times., that are jj
changed.” | j;
