ADOPTS DISGUISE
TO GETJOSITION
PHILADELPHIA—“I want a job;
I am willing to do anything." The
foregoing remark was addressed to
an employment interviewer recently
at the Hog Island shipyard, the
speaker, an overall clad man of
middle age carrying under his arm
a newspaper wrapped package, evi
nently his lunch. The man’s face
however, belied his attire as a lab
orer. It was one of refinement
and exceptional intelligence.
“What are your qualifications;
what can you do?” the interviewer
asked.
“I am a stone cutter and have
worked at the trade nearly all my
life,” the applicant replied.
The interviewer did not reply im
mediately. He was looking at the
hand which rested on his desk. It
was long, slim and with tapering
fingers, the nails neatly manicured
and in appearance as soft as a
woman’s.
“I am sorry, but we have no posi
tions open for stone cutters at this
time," the interviewer said.
“Then can you use a tracer?"
the applicant persisted. "I really
have few superiors in that line.”
Tracers were badly needed, an
affirmative reply was given, the ap
plicant was accepted and put to
work.
The foregoing in brief is a story
of how Frederick E. Triebell, a
noted American sculptor was added
to the force of employees of Amer
ica’s greatest ship yard and as
signed to a desk in the hull fabri
cation department Work repre
senting thousands of dollars lies
neglected in his studio at Long
Point, Long Island, but he is happy
for he is doing something to aid
his country.
Previous efforts of Mr. Triebell
to get into war work were un
availing. principally because of his
age—fifty -two years. He tried for
the camouflage service, fur duty as
an interpreter, the army intelligence
anti finally with the Y. M. C. A.
for army hut work in Italy.
In the latter attempt he prog
ressed satisfactory until he applied
to the Italian consul for a passport
when he was told to go back to his
work, the consul declining to have
a part in sending into the danger
of the battle line a man of his
talents. “Go back to your studio”
the Italian consul is quoted as say
ing; “take up your mallet and chisel
and make beautiful things so that
the world may smile and be happy
when the war is over.”
Determined in his efforts to enter
war work he attired himself in labor
ers clothes, journeyed to Hog Island
and applied for a position with re
sults as stated.
Mr. Triebell is a native of Peoria,
111. Among his works are Myster
ious Music, exhibited at the World’s
Columbian Exposition in 189.‘5, and
' purchased by the Japanese govern
ment for the Imperial Museum at
Tokio; Defense of the Flag, a sol
dier’s monument erected at Peoria,
111.; the statue of Robert G. Inger
soll at Peoria, 111; the monument
erected by the state of Iowa on the
Shiloh battlefield; the monument
erected by the state of Mississippi
on the battlefield of Vicksburg; the
Senator Shoup statue in the Hall of
Fame, Washington, D. C.; and many
other works of conspicuous merit.
MANY PRISONERS HELD
IN SIBERIAN PRISONS
TOKIO.—There are 17,000 Aus
trian and German prisoners in Si
berian camps, says a semi-official
announcement. Besides many who
deserted the concentration camps
when the Bolsheviki gained the poli
tical control in Russia have not re
turned.
It is said to be certain that the
majority of the prisoners in these
places participated in the battles
with the Bolsheviki against the Allied
forces and the Czechs, and returned
to their camps when they found
themselves beaten. They are now
assuming an uncertain attitude to
ward the Allied campaign in Siberia.

RUSSIA UNREADY
FOR STABLE RULE
ASSERTS YANKEE
STOCKHOLM.—If any nation or
outside leader attempts to set up
a stable government in Russia they
doubtless will find the mercurial
Russians a difficult lot to satisfy.
They have plenty of ideas and opin
ions but lack action.
“The trouble with Russians is
that they believe opinions are
achievements,” recently said a prom
inent American who is familiar j
with Russian affairs. This certainly
characterizes many of the Russians
who are now waiting in Scandinavia ,
for something to happen in Russia.
They are criticizing the Allies for
failure to act more speedily in
Russia.
Their changeableness is surpris
ing. The very leaders who were
loudest in denouncing the Brest
peace treaty were soon hobnobbing
with the Germans. Paul Milukoff
and other leaders of the extreme
right, who had pretended great
friendship for the Entente, turned
to the Germans in an effort to es
tablish under their protection a
monarchy which would father the
policies of the Constitutional Demo
cratic party.
When it became evident that the
Germans would not enter Northern
Russia in large numbers and set up
an aristocratic government similar
to that of Skoropadsky in the Uk
raine, bourgeoise leaders who had
turned from the Entente to Ger
many, again became friendly toward
the Entente and less critical of the
failure of the English, French and
Americans to enter Russia in large
numbers and overthrow the existing
government. Entente succeses on
the Western front and Entente sup
: port of the Czechs in their pheno
; menal campaigns against the Bol
: sheviki further softened the hearts
of Russian leaders of the extreme
S right. But diplomats of the Entente '
; powers stationed in Russia were not1
i deceived by chameleon-like Russian
leaders whose aim seems to be the
establishment of class government.
; The action of the Entente in re
fusing support of the Horvath gov
ernment in Siberia indicates clearly
the decision of the Entente to stand
aloof from class and party move
ments and give the great mass of
Russians a chance to work out their
will by democratic means.
