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.

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

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.

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.

IF HAIR IS
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Here's Grandmother's Recipe to
Darken and Beautify
Faded Hair.
That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sul
phur. Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When It
fades, turns gray or streaked. Just
an application or two of Sage and
Sulphur enhances its appearance a
hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe Improved, by the addition of
other Ingredients at a small cost, all
ready for use. It is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
caD always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and luster of
your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sags
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap
plied. You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through the hair, taking one small
strand at a time: by ( morning the
gray hair has disappeared, and after
another application It becomes beau
tifully dark and appears glossy and
lustrous. Adv.
