Sept. =“Minnesota State Fair. September 7.—Opening of fall term 1 Normal school. . 18, 14, 16—Red Lake Falr, Red Lake, Minn. ‘Sept. 16,16, 1 Fair. - HOMEWARD BOUND TRIP 7—Beltrami County B .. -|thruout the United States For Past Fifteen Months Have Been Cared For by Red Cross in Siberja .- . e+ (By United Press) Paris. (By Mail.)—Eight hundred Russian children, coniing from Vladi- wostok, vit San Francisco, and the Panama canal on -the way to their / ‘fomes in Petrograd, will shortly ar- sive in France. The chiidren were geparated from their families during) the early Russian disorders, over two years ago. For the past 'fifteen months they have been cared for by the American Red Cross in Siberia. The American reliet organization has undertaken their repatriation. Of- ficers of the Red Cross in France are now making arrangements for the establishment of a camp where the children will be received ‘and cared for during their stay if France, pend- | ing their return to their parents in Russia. The journey of these eight hundred ‘children, which takes them over two seas, across 20,000 miles of land and water, writes the last chapter in a " history of wandering and adventure that can hardly be matched in the whole record of world upheaval dur- 4ing the last six years. When the revolution moved toward its heighth in the Great White Em- pire, many fathers and mothers of Petrograd looked at their already un- derfed children, considering future possibilities, gathered them into groups of twenty, fifty and a hundred with nurses and teachers, and sent them away to the peaceful, rich acres of Siberia “for a few months; until | the trouble had blown over.” . Time came to return home. But betWeen the children and their par- ‘ents, there had risen & barrier of fire; a dead line formed of the long bat- tle fronts of the opposed Soviet and «Czecho armies. Months passed. Win- ter arrived. Clothing had become rags. Funds were exhausted. Hun- and spreading war horrors con- fyonted the wanderers: The Omsk government came into being. Instrue- ' tors and nurses of the young people “‘appealed to this power for aid, and the Omsk regime passed the appeal ““‘along to the American Red Cross com- L i { .-mission in Siberia. Group after group was taken over by the American Red Cross, which established colonies in western Si- ~ Deria. But the battle line swayed " eastward and the Soviet forces cap- than twenty-four hours’ headway, the first group was evacuated, and the mnext and the next,.-until all were out of danger. ~Three trains of especially equipped box cars with a guard of American 7 doughboys, tr: ortcd the precious - cargoes to Vla tok, a journey _ Jasting several wee's, thru a country " stripped bare of provisions. Ingenu- ity was taxed to the utmost during _‘the course of the trip, in obtaining supplies, avoiding disecses and evad- ing other trouble, It is estimated 6,000 were sent eastward from Petr: during the revolution. All trace hu:xdreds of ! them has been lost. TLe eizht hun- dred young exiles who wili shortly reach France are among the fortun- ate few who live to tell the tale of the “Children’s Talvary” in Russia. Northwestern News MAY RE-OPEN OLD SILVER MINE SOON Fort Wlilliam, Ont., Sept. 9.—J. D. Lamont, of Virginia, Minn., and D, C. Peacock of Duluth, are investigat- lng the possibilities‘of opening up the old gilver mine on the famous Sil- ver Islet in Lake Superior, near here. A gang of surveyors were engaged to help with the investigation and sup- plies to last several weeks were taken long. . Over three million dollars worth of silver was taken from the famous ‘mine between 1870 and 1878 when it ‘had to be abandoned because it filled with water from Lake Superior. It 18 estimated it will cost $50,000 to pump the water from the mine even Jwith- the .most modern hydraulic pumps. i ADVISORY BOARD MEETS AT MINNEAPOLIS TODAY Minneapolis, Sept. 9.—More than ‘hundred and fifty delegates from ‘county advisory boards of the Salva- tion Army branches of Minnesota were here for a conference today.

Army Schools to Be Open From First of October to Jl_me Major R. E. Frith, recruiting offi: cer of the Minnesota district station- ed at 41 south Third street, Minnea- polis, states that all young men in the army as well as school boys are collecting their books. “The fall term of the army schools in all camps and posts, will open October 1st, running until June next. All schoolg have been systematized and a young man will obtain the same course in instruction regardless of the regiment he elects to serve in. These schools teach nearly six hun- dred trades and a man may choose any of these regardless of the branch of the service he enlists in as'the schools gre run as™a post or camp school with the most competent civil- fan instructors that can be obtained. There i8 a school _ established and ready to function, wherever a regular army regiment is stationed. . : The courses are optional, but after enrolling in school the student has six hours a day, five days a week with school as the main issue during the school year. The schools with the greatest enroliment :are the motor schools, covering a complete course in gas engines, tractors, automobile, motoreycle and trucks. Other schools with big enrollments are the electri- cal, bridge building, - carpenter, blacksmith and agricultural. -Besides an acedemic course which rivals high schools and colleges, a business course is taught including, bookReep- ing, shorthand, stenography and ac- countant work. . There were 15,821 men enlisted in the army in July and the reason giv- en by the majority of them for en- 1isting was better themselves both mentally and financially. Many do not realize that a private entering the army- receiyes the equal of $130 per month with a chance of a raise to $200 per month. One of the rea- sons for enlisting was voiced by Al- bert Bentley, a Chicago millionajre, when he walked into the army re- cruiting station near his summer home at Epworth, Michigan, with his 18 year old son. “I would rather have my son enlist for three years in the United States army than at- tend any college in the country,” he remarked, as his son enlisted for three years. Many parents in Minnesota are dringing their sons in for the same reason, as many state they are unable to give their sons an opportunity to attend college of a manual training school course, and therefore wish to take advantage of the army schools. DISABLED VETERAN DIES ABSOLUTELY PENNILESS Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 9.—With the United States government owing " tured town after town. With less|him $700 in back compensation and with an appeal made to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance to expediate the checks for the last two month’s pay- ments which he had’ never receivedi in crder that he might sign them on his dcath-bed to meet his funeral ex- pen-es, John Murray, totally disabled vete { the world war died here pen Death had outraced red tape. 3 The receipt of the money two days too late was the closing episodes in 'a tragedy of delay. While Murray i was dying the Service Division of Na- tional headquarters of the American Legion over the wires was spurring the War Risk Bureau to action and the bureau, was unable to respond before the -time limit, -Mqrray’s last hour of life, had expired. A week elapsed before the Bureau- answered the Legion’s télegraphed appeal with notice that the check was on its way. Murray servéd overseas with th Third Field Artillery and was wound- ed in the foot, necessitating the am- putation of his right. leg near the hip. Later his lungs became affected by exposure on the battlefield and thru the efforts of the Legion a’claim for peranent total disability was al- lowed him. STUDY-AT HOME The age calls for mental activity. The "citizens of a democracy should be able to use his mind intelligent- ly. Education can no longer be .nought of #s limited to the imma- ture sears of life, or, as with the great majority of people, stopping at a very early age; ibut it must be con- sidered as a permanent necessity for personal and public welfare, and must therefore be general apd lifelong. More and more men and opportunities to do systematicmtudy- ing, especially during the cdoler parts of the year. They are now giving thought to the work to be taken up during the coming winter. The Cor- respondence-Study Department of the State University is ready to help meet this widespread demand for more ed- ucation that exists among the adult citizens of the state and is interest- ed in helping every person who can- not attend classes, or who fails to find in them what he wants, to se- cure the instruction he desires. Its wi extends into nearly every field of study and is of varying grades to suit the needs of those who have little, as well as those who have much, previous education. Full in- formation about the -courses offered can be obtained by sending a card to the CorrespondencesStudy depart- ment, University of Minnesota, Min- neapolis. - SUBSCRIBE FOR THE ' DAILY PIONEER women see this, and hénce seek for} | | | | l \, ‘Medium Heavy Canvas......
