; THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER . OF GRIT; LEG GONE, BUT SHILES (United Press Correspondent.) New York, Oct. 5.—Rievsky, Ras- secretary, tried to gain his Bolsheviki by be- traying V. Purishkevitch, leader of the Rpussiad monarchists, A man who was a prisoner at the fortress of Ste. Petter and Paul at the time of Rjevsky’s imprisonment, tells the story thus: $ “In the October days, immediately after the Bolshevik revolution, I was imprisoned, together with a number of officers at the fortress of Sts. Peter and Paul. There were officers with me in the cell. . Next to our cell were some junkers, while the one adjoining that was occupied by Grand Duke Paul Alexndrovitch. “Shortly before my release a new prisoner was brought into our cell, a lean; mnervously active man, wit! a‘smooth; shaven face. As the red guards closed the doors of the cell, ~ the newcomer introduced himself as Rejevsky. | Prisoners Are Hostile. “My fellow prisoners, knowing Rjevsky and his past, treated him 'coldly, almost with hostility. “For two days Rijevsky behaved himself. Then he conceived the idea he would like to get out. In order to accomplish that he began to put 'on the bluff of hysterics. He raved ! for hours, demanding freedom. ( “One morning he insisted that ' By Joseph Shaplen putin’s liberty from the Alexeyevsky, chief of the Bolshvik secret service, be brought to his cell. He shouted: b “I cannot remain here any longer. This is an outrage. Unless you order me released I will throw myself upon Ithe bayonets of the guards at the first opportunity.’ “Alexeyevsky, desiring to stop 'Rjevsky's daily outbursts, finally ordered several soldiers into the cell land told them to place their bay- {onets at Rjevsky's convenience. P ‘““You say you are tired of sitting lhere, Rjevsky,” said Alexeyevsky. Ayery well, 1 am tired of your hllly scenes. Go to it. The bayonets are in sturdy hands.’ £ His Bluff Is Called. i) “Rjevsky lowered nis head and i walked to the other end of the cell. “A few moments later a mnew {prisoner was brought to our cell. It was Zelinsky. In conversation with us Zelinsky hinted that he knew all. the addresses of Purish- kevitch, wanted badly by Smolny. Our fellow prisoners were not .par- ticularly .interested in the. matter, except Rjevsky. He heard Zelinsky's remark and decided to make use of it. 3 “Next morning Rjevsky requested to be taken before Alexeyevsky . “Certain of his weapon, Rjevsky said: ok “+Will you liberate me if I put at your disposal some very import- ant facts?’ “Alexeyevsky replied: ““That depends upon the nature of the facts.’ ““Well you are looking for a number of prominent counter-rev- lutionists,—are you not?—asked Rjevsky. ““That’s no secret,”’ said Alexey- gky. ‘But the address of Purish- keviteh is a secret for you.’ Ruse Almost Wins. ““Rjevsky’s remark at first hit the mark. For the Bolsheviki . were really at turning Petrograd upside down to get Purnishkevitch. “‘Do you know the address of Purishkevitch 2’ Rjevsky was asked. “Rjevsky not suspecting the ob- ject of the question but satisfied he had made an, impression, said: “No, 1 don't know it,—but it is known to the man who occupies the cell next to me.’ “Rjevsky was taken to another cell and the Bolsheyik official entered into conference on the ques- tion as to who might be the neighbor who knew the address of Purishke- vitch. They finally hit upon Zelen- sky, who had been arrested on the charge of having thrown red guards- men into the Fontanka river. “Alexeyev disreguarded Rjevsky entirely, summoned Zelensky and obtained from him the address of Purishkevitch, “Rjevsky, on discovering this, be- came raving mad. He demanded his release. Alexeyev only smiled, saying: “ ‘Rjevsky, the best thing you can do is to carry out the only noble intention you were ever guilty of. Go, throw yourself on a bayonet!” 'NORTHWEST MEN IN “BOMB PROOF” JOBS: SHOWN IN REPORT ‘Washington,- Oct. 7.—Twenty-six officers and. forty enlisted men from Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Montana are included in # list of 3,182 officers and men submitted' to the house by Assistant Secretaty of War Crowell as @ result of Represen- Ttative Madden’s resolution calling on } the War department for the names of ‘kmen‘ot draft age given bomb proof ijobs.

Some of the men of draft rge who are helding down clerical jobs are not physcally qualified for field service and a few of them have dependents. It frequently has been charged on the floor of the House that the vast majority of the officers doing clerical work‘sought the jobs to dodge going to war as’a fighter.

A simple “turn: ing in” is a despairingly difficult thing to handle here, and so a binding, 18 suggested instead. “Quarter-inch bias ple{.’gs long enough to go easily about the circumference of the armhole are stitched close to the edge on the right side by machine, then turned over and under and slip-stitched by hand on the wrong side. This makes an at- tractive finish and onme not in the least difficult to do. The girl with an eye to smart trim- ming features will take advantage of the opportunities offered by such fin- ishing to make it decorative and so distinguish her sport blouse from all others. The white linen blouse might be treated to a binding of rose satin, for instance. Vice versa, the white satin would be decidedly fetching bound in a coiorful bit of cretonne. Also, if you want to go to the extra trouble, you might cord or pipe your binding just by way of emphasizing it; it makes an awfully smart finish. There is another practical way of treating the armhole of a sleeveless Jucket and that is a binding of brald, the silky kind that gives as a bias band might. On cotton and linen ma- terfnl a soft cotton braid can be used in the same manner. Botanical Divisions. A teacher in a Woodland avenue school asked the other day: ‘“How many kinds et flowers are there?” Three pupils held up their hands. She chose ome to reply. “Well, Isidore, bow muny kinds of flowers are there?” “Three, teacher.” “Indeed? And what are they?” “Wild, tame an’ collie.”— Cleveland Plain Dealer. WOUNDED SEVERELY.

(United Press Correspondent.) With the American Army in France, Sept. 3. (By Mail.)—“It’s been mostly slum for the last couple of weeks,” was the way the Salvation Army sisters, Miss Gladys and Irene McIntyre of Mount Bernon, N. Y., replied to the question as to whether they had good food at the front. Miss Irene, with:her sleeves rolled up to her elbows and flour spattered over her apron, did the talking, as she rolled doughnut dough and cut out doughnuts, while Miss Gladys fried them in the outdoor kettle they had arrahged over an open fire, They had no stove at this “hut.” “We had to make the most of the situation out here, said Miss Irene. “When we came out there was noth- ing to cook with at all. So we built a sort of campfire place, we haven't made a pie for three weeks, because we haven’t any oven. We'll be for- getting how, if they don’t get us dn oven. But the boys here get lots of doughnuts. v % “It’s a little harder to work here than where we were before. In the daytime the only road to this little battered town is under constant ob- servation of the boches, and it's im- possible to bring in supplies exeept at night. They don’t bring any more than ‘necessary. So.we've had little fresh food or canned fruit—it's most- ly slum, just as the boys have, but it’s plenty.” “Slum” is army stew. The sisters could have had special food, a fact they neglected to tell. But they re- fused it, when the soldiers were de- nied fresh food. “Slum’” was good enough, they said.

The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren’t acting right, or if blad- der bothers you, get four ounces of Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juce, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disor- ders. ° Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; makes a delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which millions of men and women take now -and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease, THAT'S - - 4 .

(United Press Staff Correspondent.) With the Italian Armies Afield, Sept. 8. (By Mqil.)——Atter 69 years, almost to the very day, fate has seen to it that Italian vengeance which Is_ long suffering but never forgetting, has beerr satisfied and the martyrdom by Austrian gendarmes of Ciceruac- chio, an ardent Roman “patriot, is now avenged on the books of justice. In August, 1849, following the tragic retreat of Garibald over part of the same territory where the Italians are again fighting Austria for com- plete national and racial freedom, Ciceruacchio ‘was taken ‘prisoner. Through the initiative of an Austrian gendarme official he was given a summary court martial and quickly executed. A little later orders to suspend the sentence came from higher authorities. A little tablet at Porto Tolle on the lower Po marxks 'the spot where Cicer- uacchio paid the penalty to Austrian hatred for his efforts in behalf of Italan freedom. His death, like that of thousands of other Italian patriots who have The Flavor MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1918 ffered a similar martyrdom at Aus- trian hands, went unavenged until August of this year. On the morning of Aug. 26, during a raid by Austrian airplanes, on towns back of the Italian™front, ‘an Austran airplane was brought down above Porto Tolle and fell directly in front of the tablet commemorating the martyrdom of Ciceruacchio. Tho two occupants, an Austrian aviation lieutenant and a sergeant cs- caping from the machine, turned to the tablet expecting to get an idea of their whereabouts, read it, and then turned to find themselves in the hands of Italian gendarmes.
