LONDON.—The British govern
ment disregarded all precedents anc
created two unique sitiuations wher
it elevated Lord Jellico and Sii
David Beatty to be admirals of thf
fleet at the same time. Neve:
had a man of Beatty’s age—l!
years—been so honored, and nevei
had two British admirals of thi
i fleet flown the flag at the sam«
time. In fact, in the past 100 year:
only three admirals of the flee:
had flown their flags at all.
It is a tradition in the Britisl
navy that if an officer is promote’
to admiral of the fleet when on ses
duty he is relieved as soon as prac
tieable and never again is assignee
to the sea. In this case Beatty’:
flag was hoisted for only the foui
days intervening between his ap
pointment and the disbanding 01
the Grand fleet. Jellicoe had the
distinction of spreading his flag tc
the breeze from the mast of the
.New Zealand, on which he is making
a trip almost around the world.
One of the three other occasion:
in the last century when admiral:
of the British fleet have been a:
sea was when Sir Edward Seymoui
took the Inflexible to New York it
1909 for the tercentenary celebra
tion.

I POPULATION OF
! AM RUSSIA
| HETEROGENEOUS
i OMSK. Siberia. — Siberia, which
;, has forced world attention by reason
' of the important political events
there, includes all the Asiatic pos
i sessions of Russia with the excep
tion of the trans-Caspian and trans
-Caucasian regions and the govern
j ment general of Turkestan, whose
: capital, Tashkent, was captured by
[the Bolshevik; and whose American
[vice-consul, Roger C. Tredwell, was
| arrested and left to languish in
.; prison.
Since the Mongolian invasions in
; the thirteenth century, Siberia has
I been the home of many tribes, de
| scended from that race. To the
[foreigner the Tartars are perhaps
;the most interesting. Their great
I center is Kazan, though the Nation
al Tartar Council, which, like
Ukraine and other regions of Rus
isia, seeks the development of its
: "national aspirations,” is now locat
ed at Petropavlovsk, not far from
Omsk. This is on account of Bol
.' shevik terrorism.
The Tartars are true followers
of Mahomet and their mosques are
found in almost every city Thev
are estimated to number 1.600,000
i in the districts of Kazan and Cri
mea. They are keen seekers after
[education and many Tartar boys
jand girls receive lessons in French,
i English, and German from foreign
I instructors in places like Kazan,
I Samara, and Ufa. The last two of
these places were occupied several
! months ago by the Bolshevik ar
j mies. The Tartars have an oval
.face, black eyes, placed obliquely,
' and their skin is brown. Their
[Costume is unusual, the aistinguish
1 ing feature being their coiffure, over
which is worn a tight-fitting calotte.
I or skull-cap.
A considerable number of Tar
I tars live in the Altai mountains on
! the frontier of China. They are
j still nomads and given over to
i idolatry. Many of them worship
: the sun.
i The people of the Mongolian race
(inhabiting Russia, either European
; or Siberian, should be generally di
vided into groups. The Finnish
group includes Finns, Esthonians.
; Mordva, and Cheremises. The Tar
II tar group is composed of Tartars
; and smaller tribal peoples.
An importafit nomadic Mongolian
j tribe is the Kirghis, who live in
jthe steppe regions of Akmolinsk
i and Semipalatinsk. They aggregate
more than a million of both sexes,
speak a Turkish dialect and are
devout mussulmans. They are chief
ly cattle raisers.
The Iakouts inhabit the region
of Irkutsk, near Lake Baikal, and
j speak a language principally Turk
j ish, but partly Mongolian. They
I are idolatrous and live by the hunt
land by the raising of cattle.
In the province of Tobolsk, anl
'generally in the north, even up to
j the Arctic ocean, are found the
Voguls and the Ostiacks. They de
scend from an ancient Finnish
branch. Although in principle con
verted to Christianity, they have no
real idea of the Christian religion
and, as in ancient times, practice
! Chamanism, the religion of their
| ancestors. Still other tribes are the
Teleouts, on the plateaus of the
Altais; the Buriats, in the tran?
Baikal district; the Manchus, in the
Amur, and the Samovedes, on the
Arctic borders, where they engage
in the raising of reindeer.
In the large cities like Harbin,
Irkutsk and Omsk, Americans are
i! struck by the large number of Buri
ats and Tartars who are drivers of
II public droskies. They seem to
speak the Russian language indif
ferently and apparently hardly know
the streets and different quarters of
j the city. They are distinctly Mon
j golian in type and have flat noses.
! The present population of Siberia
j is estimated at ten million, as
against a total Russian population
of perhaps 180,000,000. Despite the
numerous races and tribes men
tioned above, the population of Si
i beria is mainly Russian, formed of
peasants who migrated from Euro
, pean Russia when Siberia' was re
conquered, and to some extent of
the descendants of the unhappy peo
ple who were exiled to the frigid
zone for political conspiracies and
j crimes.
I Job was a patient man, but there
was no bone-dry legislation in his
day.
