BANGS MAKES OBSERVATIONS
Th® “Speedway" hospital near Chicago, recently purchased from Edward Hines, has been turned over to th®
government and Is ready for occupancy. On account of the crowded condition of the different hospitals In which our
crippled soldiers have been confined, this will be a welcome relief.

by regular staff officers sent from

M-d by tanks and escorted by air­
planes, this force descended upon
Chita about two weeks ago, driving
Ataman Semenoff from his erstwhile
capital and herding him and the rem­
nants of Kappell's army back along
the Chinese Eastern railway to the
Manchurian Une.

the force raised by General Knppell

their campaign of atrocities, These
men fought alongside the

then they have stayed together under
one general after another, their latest
commander, Vergbltsky, being killed
In the retreat from Chita.
“ This force Is bitterly antl-Bolshevlk
nnd Is associating with the troops of

of better company. A great suspicion
Is entertained of Semenoff, somewhat
allayed at the time when the Ataman
telegraphed his acknowledgment of
the supremacy of General Wrangcl.
