Efforts of Red Cross to Provide Are Met With Suspicion, by All Recipients. SALEM. Or., Feb. 28. (Special.) Education of the younff people eo that the benefits and advantages of a representative form of government will be realized, elimination of re bellions and renewed energy in pro duction, are the three, things most needed In restoring Russia to a place of honor and respect among the other nations of the world, in the opinion of Miss Nell Sykes of Salem, who returned Wednesday from Vladivos tok and Russian island where she passed more than a year administer ing to the wants of refugee chil dren under the direction of the American Red Cross. "The men of Russia are a lasy class and let the women do tne work. In the fields, shops and in other branches of activity you will find the women at the helm, while the men too proud to work, are found parading the streets armed and ready to battle at the drop of the hat." eaid Miss Sykes, in relating her experiences. Ilumaa Life Ckeapeaed. : The so-called social revolutionists, known to Americans as bolshevik, have taken over the government. To this class belongs practically the en tire population of Russia, except the very wealthy and nobility. Every day in Vladivostok is one of excite ment, and human life has been cheap ened to the minimum. The revolutionary army was the best-dressed and finest-appearing body of military men we encounterea while overseas. These soldiers were exceptionally kind and courteous to the Americans. They frequently as serted they desired a representative form of government, but because of the torn and uncertain conditions it will require years to bring this about." During her stay at Russian island Miss Sykes acted as dietitian and had under her care more than 600 refugee children brought there from Moscow and Pelrograd, where typhus and cholera were claiming thousands. These children, robbed of a mother's care and deprived of sufficient nour ishment," said Miss Sykes, "were given the personal attention or our corps and later returned to the land of their nativity healthy in body and sound in mind." Sanitary conditions in Russia, according to Miss Sykes, are almost unknown, and it is due to the lack of modern health regulations that thousands upon thousands of peo ple have died there during the last few years. - Geraany Supplies Food. "Commercial industry Is almost at a standstill in Russia," she said, "and practically all of the food supplies Uermany. This situation is not due to the lark of. fertile lands, but isl the natural consequence following de struction or tne railroads and other lines of transportation. Were there railway lines to distribute the prod ucts of the field and shop it would not be long until the country could reclaim itself and provide employ ment for those who would toil. "Although hardly believable, the people of Russia do not seem to ap predate the food and other supplies distributed by the Red Cross for the reason that there was no charge. The recipients of this food harbor the idea that some day they will be called upon to compensate America for its kindness, despite the fact that they were told again and again that the operations of the Red Cross were gratis and not for the purpose of pro ducing profits." Miss Sykes was one of a number of workers who returned to the United States a few days ago on the transport Great Northern. Miss Sykes enlisted in the govern ment service in June. 1919, and on the 19th of that month sailed from Seattle. Before entering the service she taught In the Salem schools. She is now visiting with her brother in this city and probably will resume her educational duties in the near future.
