About 80 percent of the red army in Russia is not "red" at all, but is neutral, ac cording to the staff correspondent of the Handelsblad, G. Nypels, who has Just returned . from an extended tour through soviet Russia. He says about 60 percent of the officers, who are largely drawn from the trained military men of the old upper class, are "czarist" in inclination, rhis leaves only about 20 percent of the soldiers and 40 per cent of the offi cers, thoroughly attached to the so viet regime, the rest being neutral or czarist. Nypels, one of the few neutral ob servers who was permitted to visit soviet cities recently, writes in a ser ies of articles that he was more cour teously treated by the bolshevlkl than by the Poles, through phose country he had passed. In general he observes that "there are two kinds of bqlshevlkl." The first class, he says are cranks with a lot of adventurers and rascals fol lowing them. These people, he says. are very vain but if one knows how to treat them they are as wax In ones hands. The second class are the true theorists, the adherents of Marx's principles who are serious, well mean lug people and Invariably treat one fairly. - "They either admit you into their country and receive you very well or don't admit you at all," he declares, Northern Russia Being Overrun By Soviet Forces London, Feb.- 4.

Threats of a break in the affiliated railroad em ployes organizations militated toouy against immediate solution of the questions before the representatives of 2,000.000 rail workers conferring here on President Wilson's proposal for a settlement of their wage demands. Because of the wide divergence of views held by the committeemen called to Washington to consider the Wh'te House policy, executives of the organ izations admitted that they did not know whether they could hold tn strength they had gained when It was agreed ten days ago that the organ ization should affiliate to consider the proposal. In every conference, It was said, de mands for an appeal to the president to veto the railroad bill continued to grow more Insistent. The leaders therefore, were confronted with the task of explaining to the local chair men the basic reasons for their tenta tive acceptance of the president's pmn.

Who Escaped From Pen Here Year Ago, is Captured in Oklahoma According to Telegram Jack La Rose, 33, known to auth orities throughout the state as "the gas pipe murderer", who escaped nearly a year ago from the custody of state' penitentiary guards here, is held by the chief or police at Shaw nee, Oklahoma, and an officer from the prison will leave tonight to re turn hint here La Rose wan sentenced to life in prison for murdering II. Newman, a Portland pawn broker, in May, 1909. He escaped March S, 1919. The first information that La Rose had been captured was revealed Tues day morning with the receipt of a telegram by Chief of Police Welsh from the chief of Police at Shawnee, asking the amount of the reward of fered for the slayer's capture. Pen itentiary officers said that they had received word from the chief of police last Saturday saying that they had taken a man who gave the name of Roy Casey, but whose description answered that of LaRose. There can be no doubt that the man held there is LaRose, prison authorities say. First News In Year . This is the first information con cerning Jack LaRose that has been brought to the attention of state and city authorities herto for almost a year. He was r arrested during a running gun fight In the railroad yards at Portland with Portland po lice and Joe Keller, then state parole officer, and .was admitted to the pen itentiary here on May 26, 1909. He walked away in broad daylight from a gang of convicts working In a stute wood yard 6 V4 miles northeast of Salem on March 6, 1919. Six weeks after La Rose's escape a corpse was found floating In the slough at Wheatland, near here, which was first thought to have been his. It was later identified, however. About fc pHor tQ tmU time it was reported that a man an swering his description was seen at Arlington, in eastern Oregon. Coun trywide Beafch for him, conducted because of the heinous nature of the crime and the man's reputation as a "bad character" produced no trace of him, however. Sent lp for Life La Rose was sentenced to life im prisonment en a charge of second de gree murder, by Multnomah county courts. He' was convicted of slaying H. Newmp.n, a pawn broker, by striking his victim over the head with a gas pipe. The killing was prompted It Is said, by a dispute over a "split" on pawn. La Rose also assaulted New man's partner Max Herman, and John Chung, a Chinaman, who were In Newman's establishment at the time. Guards at the penitentiary regard ed La Rose as a "fair" prisoner, and he was made a trusty. He had given no Intimation of his intention before escaping.

Sugar Shortage Failed To Stop Heavy Exports Washington, Feb. 24. Although there were general complaints of a sugar shortage in this country last year, exports of the commodity dur ing that time exceeded those of the year before by more than one billion p ounds, according to department of commerce records. Exports reached a total of 1.475.407.673 pounds compar ed with 407.290,324 pounds the year before. One explanation of the increase ad vanced is that Englaiv) sent imuch cane to the United States to be retwteu and re-shipped. Exports to that coun try, however, were, only 425,170.564 pounds whereas France imported 627, 682116 pounds or nearly half of the total. Italy took the third largest quantity, 68,931,947 pounds.
