TO SAVE THEIR WEALTH Vionna,vOct. 14. Austria, since the collate, has no need to fear emi gratlon, for in the time between No vember, 1918, and July, 1ST19, no less than 160,000 naturalizations have taken place. The majority ot them are ot residents of Bohemia and Moravia of German ancestry who, rather than come under Czech rule and be Czech citizens, have rushed to J'ienna and taken on German-Austrian citizenship. Many others, refugees most of them, have also swept in and ap plied for citizenship as . Austrians rather than Gallclans or Hungarians because they are of German origin. Many have taken the move in an at tempt to avoid the confiscation of their fortunes. and manure; their bodies alive with little gray typhus lice the plague of Siberia. - "Cheek bones protruded through their yellow skin, eyes sunken Into their sookets, hands like birds' claws stretched out with cups for water. they lay all day in the .sweltering heat. 'We tried to look away but all day long we heard them moan or call for their sanitary attendants. "Our trip from Omsk to the ex treme . front and back again at a time when the Siberian government armies were falling back before the Reds has revealed in aH its pltitul- ness the tremendous heed of Rus sian hospitals, sanitary trains and dressing' stations for every kind of supply. , "Although the American Red -Cross has been sending train after train to Western Siberia, so vast Is the need that many more trains are necessary to' meet even the most pri mal necessities. Yet those of us who have seen the Immediate improve ment in hospitals and sanitary trains where 'American Red Cross supplies have come In are immensely en couraged, knowing that every pound of absorbent cotton, every ounce of drugs, every yard of gauze, can be used' In Western Siberia' to save a life." .

HEBREWS LEAD DOG'S LIFE OVER IN GERMANY Berlin, Oct. 14. The Hansa Bund of Hamburg, a mercantile association ot the great port,. has requested the publishers of the German Officers' Gazette, to publish a demand upon the public, not to read Jewish news papers. The demand mentions, as some of the more prominent German papers owned by Jews the Berlin Tageblatt, the iUllstein papers, Vols sische Zeltung, Berliner Zeitung Am Mittag, Morgenpost and the National Zeltung. This is the latest, and most direct move in the antl-eemltic campaign, that is grow'ng in Germany. It' is another result of the revolution, which is removing the old censorship removed with it every vestige of con trol over everything. Officers of troops in the east re peatedly are accused ot deliberately furthering an oppression of their Jewish soldiers. All in all, the life of the Hebrews Is one of the most uncomfortable in Germany. Berlin Is flooded -with anti-semltic literature. The west end ot the city is the particular stamping ground of those who distribute it. The antag onism to Jews extends to almost every stratum .of the German popu latlon. Magazines, weeklies .and monthlies, devote columns to the subject. FOR CHRISTIAN FAITH London, Oct. 14.
