Christian principles to the boys and young men ' v end to encourage adoption of Amer ican principles of Justice and fair The foregoing Information was ,' " contained in a letter from Bert G. Mitchell, senior secretary of the Y. M. . A. at Vladivostok, Siberia, to H. W. -. ' Stone, general secretary of the Port . laud Y. M. C. A. Mitchell formerly wss a member of the staff of the Portland association. . ' "The Vladivostok Y. M. C. A. has stout 1400 members, and our present building was formerly a store which . was worked over into a Y. M. C. A. p!;ir.t." wrote Mitchell. "We have , tar outgrown this building, and we . ., are preparing to move into a new .' one. Our new building is the one that .', the American Y. M. C. A. has been using In, its work for the allied troops. Hope Based on Yon n sr. . We believe that the most hopeful . clement of the Russian situation is . found among the boys and young men. and there we are putting our ' emphasis. The gymnasium we are to have will be practically the only in - ttitution of its kind in Vladivostok, und wo are hoping for big things - through it. In our boys' department we will have clubs of different kinds, and email classes teaching the boys timple kinds of work, such as car- ' r-entry. Our classes will teach Eng C lish, accounting, typewriting, Russian - letters and literature, and any sub- . ject, the demand for which we can . ' " fc-upply. The Russians emphasize art, ; . and we recognize that in the dra- matic club we have, and also in the , ' i.iupic club we are organizing. "One of the American secretaries, ,. - II. G. Smith, came from the commu- riity work with the United States de- partment of agriculture, and has done fine work with us this summer. He - organized the school children into garden clubs. Over 500 planted gar- . . dens. At the end of the season Smith ' taught the club members to can their : ' vtgetables. - Exhibit Win Med Hi. - hnmn was invited to make an ex- kiblt of the work at the annual fair1 o the Vladivostok Agricultural so ciety. The exhibit of the clubs was . .' so good that the society voted to have a 'special silver medal made for . them. He also trained a team of , - " three Russia girls to give a demon stration In Vegetable canning. The ' .' work of this team was the sensation of the fair. The Russians were im- ' pressed. Such incidents as these give . ., us renewed hope In Russia, through the training of the younger genera j tion. ; : "Another feature of our summer's work was On the city playgrounds. We had an inter-playground athletic " meet. It was quite like a similar - meet in America. . One feature of '. the girl's section was a competition -.. ' in native folk dancing between the playgrounds. Folk dancing has a " greater and more natural place in " ".' l i Russia than in America. v' Bible- Barred From Schoolsu The authorities have just decreed . . .. tbat the Bible should no longer be -.-..' taught In the schools. This means '. that there is no Bible teaching ex cept the ehort sermon of the priest ;.'-- in the church. I think the so-called ' yssernters from the orthodox church . ; have Bible classes. I think we have '. .' : a good opportunity, though the work i'.'-.v will be fraught with more delicate ' 1 ' problems than would arise in the -V states. ' "With the removal of the Ameri- .".' ea'n Y. M. C. A., we have the problem -. - of taking care of the American sailors ' ,2 '. trora the ehip that always staya at this port. This creates quite a - V', problem with us, as the American . Y. M. C A. did a very large work for the ship. All that can be done now is through the Russian assecia tion and at the invitation of the . Russian committee of management. ' . . " . i-'pecial hours in the gym are reserved - for them, education classes will be .',"' organized, entertainments will be , jdven and & church service on board ; the ehlp 19 held evtry Sunday morn ' ." ' Jr.!?. The response from the "boys Is .' very good. These meetings remind ' me of the ones we had when I was V Tvith the United States reclamation ' .' . eervice at Lake Keechelus and Rlm- , .' ' rock. Kasaisn Are Apathetic. "The Russian situation Is such that I believe the Y. M. C. A. is filling a need. There is a great deal of .pathy and discouragement. The people seem to have lain down on the job a.nd the reviving that I thought was evident has not materialized. They want only to be let alone, or to get out of sight of the thing. There has been a breakdown In moral stand ards. There is disorganization every where and nothing eeems stable. "The Y. M. C. A. can help to stabilize character among the young men and boys when they are sur rounded by disintegrating forces. Wa are hoping that by teaching an every day following of the principles of Christ, we can supply the stable In fluence that is needed. I tremble when I think of conditions that have resulted In a distrust of everyone and everything. Something must be done to puncture that. We see a little response in the little that we have been able to do. With the war work at our backs, and all our energies centered on this reconstructing peace time work, I believe that every dol lar spent, every effort expended, every sacrifice made to enlarge the Russian 1, St . . . .... 1 i.. i. v- a. is wona an it costs ana ' more.

PING COST M DROP MfXIClPAL PIiAVT rXDERBID FOH OXE JOB. Rumored War Between Concrete and Bitulithic Companies May. Cut Street Expense. Contractors laying concrete pave ment apparently have begun'a drive to capture the bulk of municipal im provement work planned for pext year. For three weeks the offers for municipal work have brought out a preponderance of bids from con tractors laying the concrete pave men t. Yesterday 16 bids were offered for concrete pavement, against four bids for asphaltlc concrete pavement. In striving to capture this business, the concrete bidders are submitting low figures, in fact, so low that on one improvement project, the municipal paving plant was outbid for the first time since this plant was established. For months rumors have been float ing about the city hall to the effect that the concrete interests were plan ning to wage an active fight in Port land and Oregon to capture the hard surface business from the contracting firms laying bitulithic. The bids yesterday were taken by those watching the paving business as an indication that this fight had commenced and might not end with out some material reduction In the cost of laying all types of pavement. The bids for concrete pavement sub mitted to the council yesterday varied from $2.25 per square yard to $2.40 per square yard. The bids for as phaltlc concrete varied from $1.90 a square yard to $2.35 a square yard. Bidding on the construction of sewer systems was brisk yesterday. Nine bids were received for the con struction of the Killingsworth avenue and East Nineteenth street sewer system. The Portland Realty & Trust company was the lowest bidder for this project,- bidding $33,247.72. The highest bid submitted for the work was in excess of $38,000. Mehamarle & Co. was the lowest bidder for the construction of the sewer in East Sixty-second street, its bi being $1954. The Portland Realty & Trust Co. was the lowest bidder by a narrow margin on tne construction of a aewer In East Ninth street from Sumner street to Ainsworth avenue, bidding $18,472.58. J. F. Shea, the next lowest bidder on this project, offered to com plete the work for $18.!63.49. But one bidder, Nat Costanso, of fered to handle the construction of a short sewer in College street. His bid for this job was $91ff.20. Ek & Llnd were the lowest bidders on the con struction of a sewer in Willis boule vard, their bid being $700.10. (Copyrisht by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) LONDON, Dec. 8. (Speci alCable.) The government' . enormous and growing expenditures on armaments for small wars and on civil establish ments created for war purposes are now provoking formidable hostility among taxpayers generally, and Pre mier Lloyd George has appointed yet another committee to consider retrenchment. Expenditures for the current finan cial year will be just about 1,300. 000,000 sterling (normally almost $6,500,000,000), and further vast out lays on public health, housing and new education schemes are contem plated. The fighting services in this year of peace are costing close to 270.000,000, as against f87, 000,000 in 1913-14. Expenditures Are Huge. . The revenire departments will re quire 61,000,000 instead of the 29, 000,000 of the former year: labor leg islation looking to the expenditure of 29.000,000, as against 1.500,000; edu cation Is 57,000.000, instead of 19, 000.000, and agriculture is costing 6,000,000, as against 85,000, while the two new departments, the minis try of shipping costing 21.000.000, and the munitions ministry costing 65, 000.000, have been established. Mesopotamian and other near east ern oil ventures are costing 70,000, 000 yearly, while it is estimated that Winston Churchill's various futile at tempts against the bolshevhrt armies have cost 100.000,000. Business interests now peremptorily demand that the budget must not exceed 900,000,000 (normally $4,500, 000,000) for next year, of which about 370,000.000 (normally $1,860,000,000) Is needed to pay the interest on the debt, or nearly much as the total public outlay before the war. Indus try also demands the abolition of ex cess profits dirties as the first essen tial to the . revival of industry and the diminution of unemployment. Cabinet HerdM Public Demands. These demands have now taken a form which the cabinet can no longer ignore. It is suggested that excess profits duty be replaced by a tax on turnover, which. It is claimed, would be fairer in its incidence, increasing with trade revival. Chancellor of the Exchequer Austen Chamberlain is severely criticised for his incapacity to restrain the spend ing departments, over which he has no control whatever, and particularly for his obstinate refusal to abolish the excess profits duty. He has made the retention of this duty a personal ques tion, and. as ' Premier: Lloyd George was afraid to. force his resignation in the spring because of the difficulties and danger cf tne consequent recon- struction.of th ministry if he retired. Chambeflain has so far carried the lav. He is now being urged to accept the Indian vice-royalty, which he has al ready refused, as Lloyd George is convinced that he must face the pros pect of his withdrawal from the chan cellorship lest worse Detail.

Famine Threatened Hordes i European Nations Number Three and a Half Million. In a telegram to Chairman Robert H. Strong of the European relie council received last night. Herbert H. Hoover, who has undertaken to raise a national fund of $33,000,000 to prevent the starvation of 3,500,000 European children this winter, calls attention to "an army that has never been demobilized. "This is the starvation army," said Mr. Hoover," and it includes 3,500 000 ' children, waifs, orphans and strays cast up by the great -tide o war. Some still have one or both parents, but these too are derelicts crippled or ill and helpless, wreckage from the four-year holocaust. . In thousands of different towns In th war-scourged areas, they are living in the ruins of their former homes, or in wretched hovels, and in the dug outs and trenches abandoned by the soldiers. They are kept alive by the one warm, nourishing meal a day that is served at the feeding stations main tained by the relief organizations. Any day at noon, long lines of these famished little ones may be seen in front of the stations, each child firm ly gripping the tin kettle, cup and spoon in which he is given his daily dole of Tood. The warehouses and treasuries of the relief organizations are almost empty, and we must raise the funds for additional supplies by the first of the year, or else the doors of the feeding stations must close." Every American man, woman and child has been called upon by Mr. Hoover to aid in keeping the little tin kettles filled. ' Under the leadership of W. B. Ayerorgahization for a state-wide canvass is being made, for Oregon's $250,000 quota of the $33. 000,000 national fund. Headquarters are at 522 Selling building, in charge of Robert H.
