The following letter was re­
ceived from Wm. H. Smith, who

A. K. F. in Siberia. The poet-
mark reads Siberia, August 19:
We were sent to this part of
the world to quell Bolshevism

We are so far north the dog-gone
sun works only when he feels so
inclined, and in that way is like
everything else in Russia. The
moon isn’t so particular. She
usually cornea up backwards, at
any time day os night, in any
part of the skv. Having no reg­
ular schedule she often gets lost
and is still on the joh at noon.
Yes. we are so far north that
thirty six degrees below zero
will soon be tropical to us. They
have to build fires around the
cows before they can milk them.
This is a tough town, there are

dogs. I>ogs from every descrip­

Germans were in France a few
ago.
Cectimes and Francs may be
hard to count but did you ever
hear of Rubles and Kojiecks? A
Kopeck is worth one-tenth of a
cent and there are one hundred
of them in a Ruble. The Ruble
is worth one dime. Ordinarily a
Ruble is worth about fifty cents.
To make matters worse all of
the money is paper. Coins have
gone out of circulation since the
mixup. A Kopeck is the size of
a postage stamp and looks like a
cigar certificate. A twenty-five
Ruble note resembles a porous
plaster. A one hundred Ruble
note looks like the Declaration
of Independence.
