had been unable to get any further. He
escaped from Petrograd to the Finnish
frontier after the murder of Captain
Cromie in the British embassy.
EBKllakanaa la Mistreated.
Among retugees paralyzed Is an Eng
lishman itemed Frederick Rennet, for
merly a correspondent of the New York
Sun. He had been dragged from a train
outside Moscow by orders of the Ex
traordinary Commission in accordance
with the proclamation declaring all
newspaper men not Bolshevik! to be
counter-revolutionary. Rennett has
been too paralysed to work for the last
five years. The British and French
consular officials and military commis
sions from Moscow, headed by British
Consul-General Lockhart, the French
Consul-General and Ceneral Lavergne,
numbering altogether 52 persons, have
arrived in Stockholm after a seven-day
journey. They were met in the rail
way station by members of the British
and French legations here. Weary,
haggard, white-haired, some so feeble
they were scarcely able to stand, their
appearance told a story of weeks of
confinement In Moscow prisons under
undesirable sanitary and food condi
tions and the constant menace of being
hot. i
I had a long interview with-Mr. Lock
hart. He said: "Urltzy was murdered
in Moscow on the morning of August
SO. The next day Lrnine was shot at.
The same night the British embassy at
I'etrograd was raided and Captain Cro

greatly embarrassed the Bolshevlki.

it, started the absolutely untrue story
that I had been dotting with the counter-revolutionaries
and rearrested me,

T had already been arrested and
then let out. 1 was arrested the same
night of Cromie's murder at 3 o'clock
in the morning in my own Hat and the
story was spread that I had been ar
rested at a secret anti-Rolshevik meet
ing, an absolute lie. That same night
searches and arrests were made all
over Moscow amonir tlio British and
French. 1 was kept live days in
building used by the Kxtraordinary
Commission, not being allowed to see
or communicate with anyone. Then
was transferred to the Kremlin, where
I was given a suite of rooms which
had been occupied before tne by a for:

y.cltifki. who had been put to death
in the Kremlin. I must admit I was
treated with a certain consideration.
"Among my Iriiow prisoners were

and also the leader or the left Social
ists and revolutionaries. Miss Spiriovus

most of my French and British col
leagues also were arrested. Some, like
Consul Crenard, Ceneral Lavergne.
Captain Hicks. Thiele, Gibson and
Lingner. managed to escape to the for
mer American Consulate, which was
then under the Norwegian flag. There
they were immediately besieged by the
Bolshevlki, who kept up the siege until
we left on October 3, allowing no sup
plies. They tried to cut off the water
and light, but succeeded only partly,
owing to their bad organization, so the
practically besieged had a tolerable
supply of wacr, which was helped by
a thunder storm that enabled them to
I fill their tubs, and they had enoughto
eat. owing to the large supplies the
American Red Cross left' behind. ,
Prison In Overcrowded.
' "The worst time of all was had by
those who were imprisoned in the Butt
irskl criminal prison, where all the
cells were so overcrowded there was
no space to He or sit down. The sani
tary conditions were appalling and the
food was revolting, consisting merely
of a piece of black bread, no larger
than a finger, and a teacup full of
dirty water called soup daily. Happily

saved many lives.
-I left Moscow last Wednesday, but
was let out of prison the day before
and kept in my flat, guarded by a sen
try. Captain Hicks was let out a few
hours before our departure, so as to be
able to get married. The others were
brought straight from the prison to the
train, where they were put all together
in a guarded train and taken over the
Petrograd -Railway to Beloostrow, on
the Finnish frontier. We were allowed
to enter Finland, where we were treat
ed most kindly by the Finnish authorities."
I talked with other members of Ml
Lockhart's party regarding the general
conditions fit Russia. Everybody seems I
to think the situation is pretty nearly
hopeless, agreeing that the position of
the Bolshevik! is stronger than ever.
The Red Terror, apparently under
Lenine's pressure, is dyeing down in
Moscow and is kept dark' in Petrograd,
where well-known people continue to
disappear mysteriously. The Red Ter
ror is at its worst now in the provinces,
where the intelligentsia and the bour
goise have been practically wiped out.
The correspondent of a French jour
nal, M. Naudot, Is still in prison, where
he Is becoming Insane. All the English
In Petrograd, when Mr. Lockhart's party
left there, were still Imprisoned, chiefly
in the Peter and Paul fdrtress. Among
them are Cansul Arthur W. Woodhouse,

Drummond stated:
Through Its state land settlement
commission Oregon has fully worked
out -a new land settlement plan In
which the success of the settler is the
first consideration. The settler to suc
ceed not only must get etarted right,
but must have a definite plan of farm
organization and management to fol
low. Our first unit of statewide settle
ment demonstration along this line is
now under way.
"We feel Secretary Lane's splendid
programme for reclamation and prepa
ration of lands for soldier settlers
must bofollowed up by study of these
lands from the farm management
standpoint and preparation of farm
management plans for individual farms
and demonstrations thereof on each
settlement project."
NEW TORK, Oct. 17. A fund of
$1,000,000(000 to be used to finance the
reconstruction of the Jewry of the
world will be sought by the joint dis
trlbutlon committee of the American
funds for Jewish war sufferers, which,
It was announced here tonight, will
undertake what it describes as "the
largest purely humanitarian project
in nistory to Be accomplished by in
dividual effort."
This money, according to Felix M.
ivarDurg, win not be sought alone
through contributions, but will embrace
the fields of rending and investment
and win be accepted from non-Jewish,
as well as Jewish, sources. The plan
Is based on reports received from every
country where Jews have suffered dur
ing 'the war.
Commissions -of American Jews will
b sent to Russia, Roumanla, Poland,
Palestine, Serbia, Greece and other
lands as soon' as the international sit
uation permits.
Start Already Made.
This phase of th undertaking al
ready has been initiated in several
countries. It was announced. Dr. Sol
omon Lowenstein, superintendent of
the Hebrew Orphan Asylum of New
York, has been in Palestine; Dr. -Boris
D. Bogen, secretary of the field bu
reau of the National conference of
Jewish charities, expects to start soon
for- Vladivostok, and Miss H. Goldman,
daughter of Dr. Julius Goldman, New
York philanthropist, for Saloniki.
Reports from the committee's rep
resentatives now abroad Indicate that
one-quarter of the world's 9,000,000 to
12,000,000 Jews outside of the 3,000,000
in the United States "are destitute,
starving and homeless." the committee
statement says, and fully one-half of
the Jews outside this country will need
some measure of assistance to enable
them, after the war, again to become
self supporting.
Big Plans Outlined.
The undertaking: is outlined broadly
as follows:
Immediate, and temporary assistance.
as supplyipg food, clothing, shelter and
medical attention; scientific study as to
the forms of reconstruction should be
taken In account according to the needs
of populations, employment of labor,
making workers self supporting and
advancing public welfare, repatriation
of refugees and re-establishment of
families and home; supplying of raw
materials to restore industrial life:
vocational and technical schools; exten

garbage was an offense and a danger
to the health of the residents of Staten
Island, and that the nuisance must be
stopped at once. -
"At the various Investigations 300
witnesses have been heard, including a
number of experts on garbage disposal.
As a result of testimony brought for
ward under the personal direction of
Corporation Counsel William P. Burr
and his assistants, the Board of Health
has taken this formal action.
"The board declared at its session
that the, accumulation of garbage at
the dumps, the delay in taking garbage
from the dumps, the delay in removing
scows from the lumps, the careless
transportation of the scows to Lake
Island, the retention of scows at the
dock at Lake Island and the method of
garbage disposal at the plant at Staten
Island, all constitute a publio nuisance.
and the board issued an order notifying
the receivers of the company ,that these
nuisances must be abated forthwith.

Louis Rctterc, 'Wife and Daughter,
Return After Year Passed in
Futile Search.
A long fruitless search which has
necessitated practically a year of
wandering through France and the
sacrifice of a little fruit ranch in
Yakima Valley, has' ended for Lpuis
Rettere, his wife and daughter who
have lost all track of the son of the
family, Emile Rettere, his wife and
five children who were living in St.
Quentin at the outbreak Of the war.
Mr. Rettere, who has made his home
in Yakima since coming to America lo
years ago, received a letter from his
son in August, 1914, the day after the
latter joined the colors and since then
has been unable to find trace of him
or his family.
Last November Mr. Rettere, his wife
and daughter sold their fruit ranch in
Yakima and went to France. Making
Paris their headquarters, they visited
many points In 1 ranee, but found no
trace of the missing ones.
Since their return to America two
months ago, the Rettercs have made
their home In Cortland. Since then,
too. has come the news that the Ameri
cans and British soldiers have retaken
St. Quentin.
Mr. Rettere has renewed the search
for the son and little family through
the mayors of the towns of the war
stricken area.

Using a Tooth-brush
as a Weapon of Protection
Against Influenza
If you treat your tooth-Jbrush merely as a toilet
article, you are casting it into the limbo of only half
important possessions. To look upon it as a means of
t keeping your mouth, as the gateway to your system,
in as sanitary and cleanly condition as possible, is to
use it as a measure of self-protection.
During an epidemic of influenza this form of sim
ple and effective self-protection is particularly recom
mended by all health officials.
"It is easier and cheaper to prevent disease than to
cure it," say army surgeons, leaders in medicine, and
health boards. . Some authorities claim that ninety per
cent of all infections can be traced to the oral cavity.
, To keep the'teeth, the mouth and the throat clean
and sanitary is the office of Kolynos Dental Cream,
Because it so well fulfills this office millions of tubes
of Kolynos are used in America and other civilized ,
countries. If you do not know the luxury and health
fulness of its habitual use, try it today. .
