Russian army has fought the battles of democracy it would be recognized that the entire world is Indebted to the Rus sian soldier. "The idea of a separate peace is un bearable for the Russian mind. We will share the burden of this war with our allies until the end. And we will do it not only for sentimental reasons, but because our consciences can not allow us to desert our brothers-inarms in the fight for liberty and democracy. ed to FiRht On Told. "In addition to sentimental reasons, everyone in Russia, outside of a few fanatics and their following of pro vocators and German spies, realizes that if Russia would come to a sepa rate peace and 2,500,000 Teutonic troops would be released for the Western front and the democratic allies of Rus sia would weaken, then finally the hordes of' the German Kmperor would turn again to Russia, would break our freedom, the freedom for which the country paid such sacrifice and would re-establish in our country an auto cratic rule, so sympathetic to the Ger man heart. "If the allies will not cease to trust In Russia and will render our country at this critical moment all the material and moral help she needs, we may pre dict that our army, reorganized, will actually participate in the allied ope rations next Spring." Committee Meet Miaxlon. Tho mission was met at the Union Station, upon arrival from Seattle, by a reception committee headed by II. L. Corbett, president of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. Other members of the committee were II. B. Miller, former United States Consul-General In China and dean of the school of com merce of the University, of Oregon; V. H. Galvani, whose youth was passed itussia; secretary Jjodson. of the In Chamber of Commerce: II. W. Stone A. L. Veasey. Charles E. Cochran and 33. N. Weinbaum. They expressed a desire to see the city and were at once taken upon a motoring tour of Portland, evincing keen delight and pleasure. Banquet Glvrn Ourntn. At 6 o'clock they were the guests of the Chamber of Commerce at an infor mal dinner and responded to toasts for the welfare of Russia and the success ful termination of the war by America and the allies through a complete vic tory over Prussianisin. Mr. Cochran presided as toastmaster, and the address of welcome was deliv ered by Mr. Galvani. whose Russian birth and adeptness at the language of the motherland had been, kept secret from the guests. Launching his re marks with the formal "Mr. Toastmas ter." the speaker turned to the Russian tongue and gave warm welcome. A partial interpretation of the address follows: Mlnalon la Welcomed. "Representatives of the people of all Russia, citizens of the Republic of all Russia, permit me as a native of all Russia and a citizen of the United States, to welcome you in the name of the city of Portland, and in which welcome I am sure the people of the entire state of Oregon Join me. "Permit me also to state that the citizens of the United States most sin cerely sympathize with the people of all Russia and hope that they will suc cessfully establish a republic of all Russia on a permanent basis to the benefit and regeneration of her peo ples, of every race and creed, and to the glory of the immortal heroes who. during the last century, have laid down their lives for freedom." Meeting Largely Attended. At the White Temple,' where the members of the mission addressed a remarkable audience last night, the ovation given them was one of deep significance and feeling. Time and again, as the speakers dwelt upon the sacrifices of Russia, and the true pur pose of her people, aside from the sporadic and visionary attempt to throttle a government that might carry the war to an honorable con clusion, the great gathering voiced its approval. Lieutenant-Commander Hwoshinsky, of the Russian navy, represents the Russian Embassy on the speaking tour. Through the earlier stages of the war he was detached from naval service, and saw action as an officer of the Imperial Guard on the Warsaw front. Kor distinguished valor he wears the white cross of St. George. A. J.

Inactive bowels are the cause of as 1 much discomfort to children as to older people, and unless the condition is promptly relieved is very apt to develop erious illness. For children there is nothing that will act more easily than the combina tion of simple laxative herbs with pep sin that is sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It does not gripe end is free from opiate or narcotic drugs, is pleasant to the taste, and positively effective; chil dren like it and take it readily. If you have never tried this simple, inexpensive remedy, get a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin from your druggist and have it in the house to use the next time any. of the children seem out of sorts. A trial bottle can be ob tained, free of charge, by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 456 Washington St., Monticello, Illinois, information bureau in the TTnltert States, is a former staff correspondent for the Petrograd Retch, the editor of which. Professor Paul N.

At present all in formation regarding political and so cial conditions in the United States is passing to Petrograd through Mr. Sack's office. Major Washburn was with the Rus sian armies during their successful in vasion of East Prussia in the early months of the war and was a witness of the great retreat of the Russian armies from Warsaw through Poland. He is the recognized American author ity upon Russian military affairs, and through acquaintance with the leaders of the provisional government and the situation In Russia, Is intimately in touch with the problems of the Russian nation.

GIRLS SEEKING HUSBANDS Kentucky Lasses Appeal to Minister for Assistance. OMAHA, Nov. IS. Something must have happened to the chivalrous young men of Kentucky, thinks the Rev. Charles W. Savidge, of Omaha, for within three weeks 49 Kentucky girls have written Pastor Savidge asking him to find husbands for them. "What do you suppose has happened to those Kentucky boys?" asks the Rev. Mr. Savidge. "Here for half a century we have been singing the praises of the young men of that state; we have heard they are the most gallant and chivalrous in the world; and every body knows about the beauty of Ken tucky girls. But suddenly we wake up and find that the boys of that state have been anything but chivalrous. In fact, they have been positively neglect ful of their pretty girls. Else why would 49 of them write me and ask me to find husbands for them? Last month, through the Rev. Mr. Savidge, a Dry Ridge (Ky.) school teacher married a Yankton (S.

BODY MAY BE RECOVERED Ifianccc of Lester llickey Makes Ap peal to Government. CHICAGO, Nov. 17. You probably have forgotten Lester Hickey, although it was less than a week ago his name filled the papers after he was drowned when the transport Finland was tor pedoed. But Kvelyn Doyle, 19U6 Bis sell street, who was engaged to be mar ried to him, and Mrs. Thomas Hickey, 1125 South Racine street, his mother, are still hoping that his body may be recovered. "If the Government could find Les ter's body and send It to us. so that we might at least place a wreath on his grave, it would be a great consolation," said .Miss Doyle, who is just 17 years old. "I knew Lester from the time he was in the grades and for the last few years I have been going with him con stantly. If J only could pay some tribute to him and go to his funeral I would feel so much relieved, but I can't. He has not even a grave which. I can visit." Mrs. Hickey, Lester's mother, wants her son's body, too. "I brought him up till he was 21 and then nothing would satisfy him but en listing," she said today. "I did not want him toigo to war. but when he was of age I did not object. I went to a farewell dinner his friends gave him and then I went to the train with him. When I saw the train pull out I knew I would never see my Lester again, but I did not cry. "After the train had .left and I had returned home I could not bear it any longer. I wept. But then Lester was gone and he could not see that his de parture was grieving me, so it'was all right. "Lester was the most likable one in my family. I saw to it that he got a good education and learned to play the violin, too. He was a great musician. When he was through school he helped support me until he joined the Army, and even then he sent me some money every time he got paid. Now I don't know what I shall do for a living. My husband is over 60 years old and my little boy is not 15 yet, so they can't earn much. I guess I'll have to see if I can't get the old Job of bottling whis ky that I used to have. "I don't know whether the Govern ment recovered Lester's body or not. If so. I wish it would be sent to me so I could see my Lester had a decent burial. f If I could only get some of his belong ings or sometning to remember him by it would not be so bad, but now all I have is some of his schoolboy play things and a postcard photo he sent me in his last letter." 3C Don't Use Any Other Than Cuticura Soap To Clear Your Skin CAMPS TO HAVE CIRCUIT r 'r i. ... i , , air iv ut vuuipanies juemg Urgan- lzed From Own Talent. WASHINGTON. Nov. 12. Sixteen Liberty Theaters," now being built by the Government in the various National Army cantonments are to be self-sustaining, and with one exception, will be a part of a regularly organized dra matic and vaudeville circuit. Camp Lewis, on the Pacific" Coast, cannot be included in the circuit for geographi cal reasons, so special performances by Pacific jCoast companies will be given there. It was announced that four vaude ville and four dramatic companies are being organized by well-known theat rical men for the circuit. Each theater will have its own equipment, so that the companies will not have to carry a heavy baggage train. Cantonments are being searched for men of theat rical experience and stage hands, elec tricians, actors and musicians- have been found among the soldiers. So called Smilage books, containg 1 and a worth of admission coupons will be soon offered the public through the stage women's war relief. These books can be sent to soldiers to pay their 15, 20 and 25-cent admission charges. In the mining settlement of Edge view, Mo., a society of young girls called "The Gleaners" Mission Circle" walks back and forth from th Italian and French mission of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. (Southern), to Lexing ton, three miles distant, for its saw ing class, sented such a strange scene. Bronzed natives of India, clad in vagiegated Oriental garb, wearing their gaily col ored turbans inside the room after the dictates of their religion, mingled among the defendants with multi-millionaire shipowners and shipbuilders, high German consular officials, other alleged agents of the German empire and adventurers. The Government contends that the Indians, induced by their ideal of free ing their country from British rule, joined with the German defendants and with adventurers influenced by the prospect of financial gain, in a plan to cause mutiny among the native troops in British India. Two things were to be accomplished by the alleged con spiracy, the Government charges. India was to be freed, and Great Britain was to have been forced to withdraw troops from the continental battlefront. thus weakening the allied forces. The plot had spread rapidly, the Government contends, until it flourished in manv points on the Tacific Coast, in most large American cities, in India and Mexico. Trial Dramatic at Opening. The trial opened dramatically. After the defendants had been identified United States District Attorney John W. Preston moved that the charges against five of the defendants, Krnest Sekunna, of New York; Captain Ralph Hush, who received his commission in the United States Army in the first re serve officers' training camp here; M. Martinez. San Diego attorney; Leo pold Michaels, multi-millionaire ship owner, of San Francisco, and Ray Howard, L6s Angeles attorney, be dis missed on the ground that it would not be "Just and fair" to prosecute them. The $10,000 bail of John F. Craig, millionaire shipbuilder, of Long Beach. Cal.. the only defendant who failed to appear, was declared forfeited and a bench warrant was issued for him. Ad vices from Long Beach said Craig's non-appearance was due to a misunder standing over a demurrer he had filed to the indictment against him. He was reported on his way here tonight. Three Cases Ioponrd. District Attorney Preston moved that the trials of three other defendants be Indefnintely postponed. One of these, Surandrar Nath Karr, was dying in a Berkeley, Cal., sanatorium, he ex plained. The cases against Solon Le on hauser, Buddhist priest, and his wife, Marie, the only woman defendant In the trial, also were ordered post poned on the ground of advanced age and ill health. Five jurors had been temporarily passed when court adjourned. The de fense, in questioning talesmen, em phasized that many of the defendants were citizens of Germany and was particular to ask whether the fact that a state of war now existed be tween the United States and Germany would have any Influence with them. The trial will probably consume three months, said District Attorney Preston, who is conducting the prosecution. Eleven attorneys appear for the various defendants. Hindu prisoners who. because of lack of bail, are held at the military prison on Alcatraz Island are accompanied to the courtroom by a detachment of armed United States infantrymen under commissioned officer. Special precautions were taken to guard the courtroom against any pos sible untoward occurrences. The trial is closed to the public and admission is by card only. tor. The story was printed in the Louisville, Cincinnati and St. Louis newspapers. Since then the Rev. Mr. Savidge has been receiving letters from other Kentucky girls asking for hus bands. The Rev. Mr. Savidge is pastor of the People's Church of Omaha. He is the founder of several effective social help organizations and has rooms at the church where young folk may become acquainted. His matrimonial bureau is merely one of his plans to aid young folk, but the volume of business is so great he employs a stenographer to as sist him. The Dry Ridge (Ky.) girl heard of this work and wrote to the Rev. llr. Savidge. asking for a hus band. The Yankton doctor wrote the same day. After having each sent cre dentials, the preacher sent each one the other's letter. Their marriage fol lowed and they stopped in Omaha on their honeymoon to thank Rev. Mr. Savidge. One of the Kentucky girls wrote to the Rev. Mr. Savidge: "Your belief in happy hearts and how you have assist ed some people to bo happy has just come to my notice. I am a school teacher of several years' experience, :;5 years young and have kept alive an open mind and love of companionship. My hobby is homes and the keenest de sire of my heart is love and a home of my own. My character and reputation are irreproachable my family ances try clean." This letter is from Paducah: "I beg pardon for what I am about to do. But having read in our paper about the Kentucky girl getting a husband through you, I thought perhaps you would find me a nice correspondent, and I feel, being a minister, you would not recommend anyone but a gentleman. My reason for wanting a correspondent Is my extreme, loneliness. I have a comfortable income, but I am lonely." A widow of Ashland writes: "I am very lonesome. My husband died In 1910. I am 5 feet 5 inches tall, have gray eyes, light auburn hair. I prefer a religious gentleman. I am not look ing for riches, but for an honest man. I am a good cook. Teople say I am good looking. I own my own home here." Two Louisville girls, chums, have this to say: "Dear sir We read about Miss Williams, the Kentucky school teacher, for whom you found a hus band. Can't you get husbands for us? We have plenty of company among the boys, but none of them seem to want to get down to business." .
