THE GAIDA UPRISING.
Nearly all of the 500 revolution
aries trapped by the forces of the
All-Russian government in the at
tempted revolt at Vladivostok on
November 18 were killed, according
to Genera! Rudolph Gaida, the
Czecho-Slovak commander, who act
ed as military leader of the insurg
ents. General Gaida went to Shang
hai after he and his forces were
captured when the rebellion failed.
“Two hundred of the revolution
aries were killed in fighting,” he
said. "Three hundred of them were
marched out like cattle and shot.
No trials, no hearing. They were
driven before the firing squads.”
General Gaida told the Shanghai
correspondent of the Associated
Press that the real leaders of the
abortive revolution were Ivan Alex
androvitch Takussheff, president of
the Siberian duma before Admiral
Kolchak was given the title of su
preme ruler, and Colonel Arkadi
Antovich Krakovetchi, who was vice
minister of the constituent assem
bly that was formed last year.
“I sympathized with them,” con
tinued General Gaida. “I promised
them to take the position of com
mander-in-chief of the Russian army
if their efforts to overthrow the
Kolchak regime succeeded.'” De
scribing the one-day revolution and
its failure, Genera! Gaida told how
the revolutionaries assembled in the
railway station at Vladivostok, but
were fired upon by troops of the
All-Russian government from the
mils around the city.
“When we tried to fight our way
out of the railway station," said
General Gaida, “we encountered
lines of Japanese troops drawn up
with bayonets fixed. We had to go
back.
“That night a cordon of Allied
troops, two battalions of Japanese,
a battalion of Americans and even
a large force of Czechs, was drawn
about the yards. They would not
let us through and we would not
fire in any way that might en
danger the Allied forces surround
ing us.
“Guns from the hillsides openec
on us that night and Russian war
ships in the harbor began to drof
shells into the circle where 500 ol
us were confined.
"It lasted all night. Two hun
dred dead and mortally wounded la;
where they fell. The. next morning
those who were left were permittee
to surrender. They killed them all.’
The Allied authorities at Vladi
vostok held that as Czech citizen
General Gaida and his staff weri
not amenable to Russian law. The;
escaped death by promising the Kol
chak commander at Vladivostok t<
leave the country at once.
WORKING RESERVE.
Even the great Woolwich arsena
has turned from the manufacture
of war material to the peacefu
pursuits of trade. Ten thousam
butter churns have been manufac
tured in the great building whicl
during the war sent out vast quan
tities of munitions for use agains
the Germans.
The nickel purchased to manu
facture bullets is being used in the
arsenal to make five-cent pieces for
British Honduras currency. There
is a world shortage of locomotives
and railway cars. To meet this it
has been decided to manufacture
these articles in the arsenal, and
work already is under way there on
orders for 2,500 cars, 100 locomo
tives, and for repair work on 700
cars.
This serves a double purpose.
Thirty thousand persons now are
employed in the arsenal where 110,
000 were at work in war-time.
Thousands of these men are skilled
munition workers. By keeping these
busy making locomotives and other
peaceful products, the government
not only gives them work, but re
tains their services. In the event
of another war they could return
immediately to the munition works
in which they are skilled.
One of the side-line products of
the arsenal since the armistice has
been the striking of six million war
medals.

LONDON'.-—A committee has just
i
been formed, with T. P. O'Connor,
the widely known member of par
liament, as president, to conduct an
energetic campaign to the end that
the Turks shall never again govern
areas inhabited by Christians.
The committee was organized a1
a meeting which was addressed b\
W. A. Lloyd, an Australian journal
ist. who related stories of atrocitie:
attributed to the Turks. Mr. O'Con
nor, who presided, declared tha
•‘not a single Christian subjec
should be allowed to remain unde:
Turkish mis-government.”
Mr. Lloyd fought against thi
Turks, and said he had seen mucl
of their methods since, having onl;
just returned from an investigatioi
of the results of Turkish rule. H
stated that there was now, mor
than a year after the signing o
the armistice, a well-equipped, well
organized Turkish army in the field
1 murdering wholesale unarmed Chris
' tian men, women and children.
;‘Only a few weeks ago,” he said
“I helped to gather the mutilate
’ bodies of some 300 or 400 littl
■ Christian children for Christia'
burial in Asia Minor.”

PA1HFIN0ER FROM
SHOP IN VALDEZ
John W. Frame, editor of The
Pathfinder, the Pioneer magazine
published under the auspices of the
six thousand members in the Terri
tory, arrived in Valdez recently and
will issue the official mouthpiece of
I the Grand Old Order from the
i Miner office until further notice,
j Mr. Frame has teen identified with
; the magazine from its inception,
and in reality it was a child of his
planning, as he has been working
on the idea for many years.
The magazine is non-political,
non-sectarian, a journal of the lives
and deeds of the men who blazed
the trails in Alaska, when gray
i haired veterans were light of step
| and hardened to vicissitudes. It is
profusely illustrated with photos of
illustrious makers of Alaskan his
tory and should be in the home of
every man who believes in a greater
Alaska.
I Mr. Frame is busily engaged in
jthe publication of the last Anchor
iage copy of his journal, and will
i then start the publication of the
Valdez edition, which will be de
voted especially to the V aldez igloo
and its members.
Owing to better mail facilities,
he removed his work from Anchor
•age to Valdez, and for several
: months the magazine will be issued
there.

EYE STRAIN CAUSES
AIRPLANE ACCIDENTS
LONDON. — Air service doctors
Ihave discovered that airmen who
| have been experts will, on occasion
and for a period, make all mannei
of mistakes in landing. With a
! smooth lawn below them they wil
do a “poached egg” and crash the
I machine on its tail, or will take th<
ground before they mean to.
These accidents are attributed t<
a particular sort of weariness o!
eve muscles as well as eye nerves
The eye fails to convey to the braii
a proper eye-picture of the grourn
or other object. The eye fails ver;
,n>o h as the muscles of an untrainei
athlete fail. Many exercises for thi
eye have been designed which wil
remedv this defect.
