The writings of one German in a Leio-

.. Mil Americana in a bod light before the
__ Cerman civilians.
. “On account cf the sundry annoying
act* of the authorities” he writes “tha

l mcrican occupation and is loud in its
;foho*c of these molestations though to be
pure this is all kept within closed walls.

FRiMA DONNAS CONDUCTORS
AND TENORS ALL RULE IN
RUSSIA’S QUEEREST SOVIET
* f ^
I Hv The A?»**1 IV”*
LONDON May 31.—Prima donnas ten-
o*o aad conductors ruled amicably together
in one of the queerest “soviets" the revolu-
tion produced in Petrograd says Albert
j Coates on English conductor who has re-
[cently returned from Russia. The Mary-
inaky opera with which Mr. Coates was
connected at the time thus managed to
escape being engulfed by bolshevism.
“At the beginning of the revolution"
he relate® “we formed a litle Republic of
our own and ruled ourselves. We consti-
tuted nu administrative committee consist-
ing of two conductors of which I was one
I four singers two chorus and two orches-
tra artists the member? being chosen by
vrdc.
“There was no intrigue. Eeverybody had
the good r f th* theatre at heart end the
of wh en fill th.? city of Tcblenr and which
axe baked from early morning until late
at night by the American soldier? in no
less than twenty great bak.rie?.”
The writer also touches on the work of
the military police saying: “A very un- i
p’eafant institution in Coblenz is the spy
system. Possession of American property
is forbidden. Whoever buy? from Ameri-!
can soldier? cigarette? food sfooen and |
clothing and is caught with the goods h I
pn: hired with a drastic fine or prison r.en-|
tence."
Summr.rlr.inr. after writing several col-^
uinns. the writer says in conclusion.
“Dif regarding the arrogant behavior of
the cnnqoerrr. the American* *n CoSIenr
and the bridgehead on the right of the
Rhine conduct thfmselvei in a very proper
manner. Of course there are case? of dis-
turbances by soldiers new and then but if
an American soldier tries to assault n Ger
trrjn and n military policeman i» near
errugheto arrest the soldier one may rest
iRsnr’l that the military court will pun-
ish th« American accordingly.
“All in all. judgment of the American?
mnv be summed un thus: They do not in
reality behave worse than would any oth-
er army of occupation although the sol-
dier? do annoy the population—anney *
ir manv respect*. And that is a des;rabl'
state of affairs. Thereby the idea of sep
rr’tien. which has already made consider
able pro"re?s here end there in the Rhine
land will lose more and more of its sup
PTtem. and it will be easier for the peo
pie of the Rhinclanis to remain a part o'
the empire.”

finncihlly uptil hunger sapped our physi-
cal strength and beat us in the uneven

mob swarmed ground me theatre and wa*.

out en mas.Vc in front of the building and
each one of us harangued that part of the
crowd he fell among and so managed to
turn them from their purpose and saved
our theatre.

REFUGEES IN TOMSK SIBERIA
SCHOOL CENTER NUMEROUS
American Red Cross Comes to As-
sistance of the Sufferers.
TOMSK Siberia April 3—(Corre-
spo.i'ience of The Associated Press.)—The
refugees at Tomsk the great university
center of Siberia who are mostly from Eu-
ropean Russia are estimated to number
150000.
Into the district of hardship and suf-
fering the American Red Cross has come
energetically and successfully. When four
American girl# reached Tomsk end organ-
ised Red Cross work hare typhus fever
was spreading rapidly and ail of the places
where th.* refugees massed were points of
infection and dissemination. It was use-
less to distribute clothing or attempt feed-
ing unless means were first devised to stop
the spread of the deadly epidemic.
The Red Cross now has taken over eigh-
teen barracks into which the refugees have
herded and each of these barracks will be
cleared a-sd disinfected in turn their in-
habitants meanwhile being housed at a
clearing station. This station is provided
with baths and disinfecting apparatus for
rkthes end has a dispensary and simple
hospital facilities.
Under the direction of the Red Cross|
unit there has been established a sewing!
room where refugee women arc giveu cm- i
ploy merit. The city gave rent free a large
well-lighted and well warmed room and a
number of sewing machines—American
made. The Red Cross has accepted the
offer of the Tomak University medical
school to turn over its clinical hospital.
American doctors wiR conn? in later.
AH the Red Cross werk focuica on pro-
viding immediate -relief to meet the emer-
gency until the refugees can become self-
supporting. Employment is difficult to
obtain. However plans are being devel-
oped to provide employment for the wom-
en and get the children to school. It is
expected that thia spring a large propor-
tion of the idle men ran find work either
on the farms or on the Trans-Siberian rail-
read. Tomsk has a number of factories
but owing to the breakdown. in railway
transportation many are closed because
they cannot get materials with which to op-
erate. i

AMERICAN LAND SYSTEM FOR
FARMERS IS BEING ADOPTED
Russian Anti-Bolshevik Inspired to
Divide Property lor Partners.
Illy The Ainti'il l*nmi)
OMSK. Siberia May 111.—The Ameri-
can system of settling farmers upon gov-
ernment In ml by distributing R among
them either free or nt a nominal cost has
inspired N. Petroff the minister of agri-
V* «> t i: i * i.afc ■ iii.ACpu;
| cultureof the all-Russian government or
anti-Bolshevik government'to formulate a
similar plan for dividing up Russian land
among the peasants.
The minister told the Asociated Pres*
correspondent that he was convinced that
this plan would be most advantageous and
that the development of the land must be
left exclusively to the peasants. Small land-
holders be said must have a chance to ex-
tend their possessions cf land on thoir mer-
its as farmers.
Minister Petroff declared that any pro-
gram of rebuilding the Russian nation must
satisfy the demands of the farmers and
that the only feasible way of doing this was
by lease and purchase.
The project he has drawn up provides
for u special ret fund to buy land and dis-
tribute it among the peasants both those
who are now' absolutely withou tland and
ithosc who have at present an inadequate
area.
