This did not satisfy the insistent crowd. Speeches were demanded from the Americans. Mr. Root responded in a short address, thanking the crowd for the reception and expression of good will toward America. He said the commission brought a message of sympathy, hope and courage from the American people to the Russian peo- ple and that the great American do- mocracy sympathized with the Rus- sian democracy and was determined to do everything in its power to co-oper- ate with Russia in the great against tyranny. ‘“America” and ‘‘democracy” are much the same in Russian that they are in English.

After their physical examinations the recruits are inoculated against ty- phold and paratyphoid. The Buro- pean method of inoculation has been adopted whereby one antityphoid and two antiparatyphoid serums are com- hined in one. This reduces the num- ber of subsequent inoculations to two instead of seven as formerly Much attention is also being paid to physical drill, and the recruits are put through the exercises devised by Major Koehler, the officer who trains the West Point cadets. The officers are caraful not to overtire their men, and rests are frequent. These exer- cises not only straighten the men and take the kinks out of their shoulders, but they train them 1o quick obedience to command. Bodies as well as minds become accustomed to act in unison.

' (Correspondence of the Associated Press) Stockholm, August 30.—More ear- | nest effort are being made to prevent | emigration from Sweden as a result of the publication of statistics show- ing that in 1916 more than 7,300 per- sons left this country, as compared | with fewer than 4,100 in 1915. About 67 per cent. of those who go are be- tween fifteen and thirty years of age, and virtually all take passage for America. Nothwithstanding the {ncreased emigration last year, a great number of Swedish-Amercans who returned to Sweden have been induced to re- main here, many having purchased | farms, while for others places of work have been obtained through the in- strumentality of the national associa- tion opposed to emigration. The endeavors of this organization of which Dr. Adrian Molin is presi- dent, are warmly supported by the government. Prince Carl, brother of the King, addressed the assocation’s ten-year jubilee meeting recently. He said that during fifty years, 1,730,000 Swedes cmigrated, representing more than one fifth of the country's pres- ent population, In a single decade, from 1881 to 1890 inclusive, 376,401 persons left the country, he said. Dr. Molin described the tion’s propaganda work, which cluded some 800 addresses at public meetings in 1916, and told of the suc- cess in finding places of labor for re- turned emigrants. New Armor Invented. The Hague, Netheralnds, August 80.—The Dutch general staff, as well as one or two forelgn military at- taches, are evincing considerable in- terest in a new armor material de- vised by an inventor here. Broadly stated the principle on which it is based is that of distribut- ing the pressure of projectiles and ex- plosives as rapidly as possible with the aid of a particular material spe- cially fitted for that task. The armor consists of a system of double plates with more or less space botween them according to the nature of the pro- jectiles it is intended to serve against. Such space is fllled with a material which is very similar to sand, but is of extremely fine grain and at the same time extraordinarily hard. further possesses a high specific grav- ity, easily absorbs heat and has a high melting point, so that the separate grains do not change their form even at high temperatures. It is likewise in a great measure resistant to the operation of acids. Superficially regarded, the device shows considerable similarity to the existing armor-plate system, whereby a filling of sand is introduced be- tween two solid plates with the ob- ject of smothering the projectile in its course and thus rendering it in- nocuous; but demonstrations are said to have clearly shown a difference. The inventor expects a sreat deal of his new protective armor as a de- fense against aerfal bomb attacks, be- lieving that it will prove capable of resisting the biggest projectiles. ‘Want No More Guests. Stockholm, August 30.—The spec- tacle, probably unique, of a popular and much frequentead summer resort B | and bathing town inviting its summer guests to leave and not return has just been presented by Sodertalje. The city authorities took action after a meeting at which the scarcity of makes, including front and back lace. W S e e B R T R T e R T T O T W food was discussed. This, in their & | opinion, made it undesirable that in- M | roads ‘should be made summer visitors on the stocks available. About 3,000 visitors are affected by the invitation to leave. associa- | in- * 1t | STRIKE SUSPENDED. Financial Needs of Married Men Lift ‘Walkout Order. Aberdeen, Washington, Sept. 21.— A statement signed by E. E. Leland, president of the International Union of Timber Workers, and circulated to- day in the official publication of the union, virtually suspends a strike for the eight-hour day in the timber in- dustry on Gary's Harbor. The state- ment says: “The strike is not called off and will not be until the eight-hour day is won, yet since many strikers,- pecially the married men, have reached the limit of possible sacrifice, we will not stand in their way in pro- viding the means to take care of their familie: The strike began July 16. CANADA CO. THREATENED. Mexico Reported Determined to Con- fiscate Proper Douglas, Ariz., Sept. 21.—Accord- ing to an article in a recent issue of Orientacion, semi-official state news- paper published at Hermosillo, So- nora, reecived here today, the Mex- ican treasury department has issued a statement that, unless the Canaea Consolidated Copper company re- sumes operations within the next month the government will cancel the company’s concessions and confiscate its property. The company ceased work last June, alleging that the taxes imposed by state and federal authorities made it impossible for it to continue opera- tions at a profit. es- | SOIXANTE TROIS’ TRENCH NEWSPAPER American Ambulance Section Goes Into Publishing Business Somewhere in France, August 31, Correspondence-—So far as is known, it has remained for the Sixty-Third Ambulance Section of the American ted Cross to be the first to distin- Buish itself by issuing a genuine, reg- ular newspaper. The paper has con- { siderably less than a million-a-day | | circulation but it is a God-send to the | members of “Soixanto Tre ', which it calls itself. The first issue of ‘“Soixante Trois" is strictly handmade and i duced by a manifolding process. Near- | ly all the section comprises the editor- ial staff, and about ninety per cent. | { ot this staff has devoted itself to hu- morous efforts. The “Own-Lee” Laundry is the most liberal advertiser with a lunid page invoking everyone to “fall in line” and “follow the example of | the cook who washed his face in dishpan.” Then there is a “tonsorial parloi”™ that invites the readers to ‘‘come in | and enjoy the show'-—which the ad- | vertisement continues includes ‘“‘mi- croscopic animais contributed by our | patrons.” There is a bit of “poetry” or two, also a couple of rough sketches, and ing “Personalities” and a “Diary of Our Own Samuel Pepys.” News as it | is ordinarily conceived is conspicuous is chock full of fun, which is per- haps just as welcome as news to the | members of the section. To Exhibit Russian Paintings. London, August 29.—An exhibition of paintings by the Russian battle- artist, Vasili Verestchagin, called in Russia the “apostle of peace” is to be one of the features of the winter season in London art circles. Verest- chagin, after fighting with the Rus- sian armies in three short but bitter minor wars, was killed in the explo- slon that destroyed the Russian flag- ship Petropaviocsk outside Port Ar- thur in 1904. His paintings are de- scribed as ‘‘at once a grisly revelation and a vehement protest.” ! His most famous canvas is entitled “Apotheosis of War”. It depicts a huge pyramid of skulls crowned with a flock of carrion crows, and bears | the sinister inscription, 'To all con- querors, past, present and to come.” On the occasion of an exhibition of his work in Berlin some years ago the should come to regard war as not honorable but disgusting.” Verestchagin once wrote: my paintings to be horrible.
