SIBERIAN ARMY
TO REORGANIZE
BATTLE FRONT
Against German Ag
gression Sought by
People
Washington, Aug. 6.—Everywhere
tin Siberia the population, belonging
to different classes and political
groups, has manifested vivid Interest
and sympathy with the organization
of an army, which is Intended to re
establish, together with the Allies, a
battlefront against Germany; and
the formation of this army Is pro
ceeding very successfully, the Rus
sian embassy declared to-day in a
statement explaining the political
situation In Siberia.
The relations of tho temporary
government of Siberia, with the
Czecho-Slovaks aro stated to be
friendly, and it is the Intention of
this government, the embassy as
serts, to reform together with the
Allies, the eastern front, to promote
the unity of Russia and to recognize
all the international treaties and
agreements of Russia which were in
force until the moment of the
Bolshevik uprising.
„ Russians in Washington are high
ly optimistic and contented with the
decisions of the United States, Japan
and the Allied nations to send an ex
pedition to the relief of the Czecho
slovaks and to assist Russia in every
possible way. The Czecho-Slovak
army, it was learned authoritatively,
will remain in Russia, having aban
doned its Intention of going to the
western front, "being satisfied," it
was declared, "to fight Germans and
Austrians wherever they may be
found."
No Sign From Bolshevik!
The Bolshevik attitude toward the
American and Japanese action is ex
pected to be hostile, but up to this
time there have been no advices from
Russia indicating whether the Len
ine-Trotzky regime will make itself
completely the instrument of the
Berlin government in opposing the
Czecho-Slovak and the American-
Japanese forces.
The initial number of American
and Japanese troops to be sent to
Siberia while small, will be suffici
ently strong to assist in re-establish
ment of contact between the Czecho
slovaks in western Siberia and those
at Vladivostok, but the ultimate size
of the international force will de
pend, it was emphasized, upon the
strength of the Austro-German re
sistance in Siberia and Eastern
European Russia,
The State Department received a
telegram from Ambassador Francis,
dated July 24, and forwarded by the
American consulate general at Mos
cow, saying the embassy was obliged
to leave Vologda because its com
munications had been out. and fear
was in Ambassador Francis' mind
i,ooncerning what might happen, as
all news was cut off.

Wants Quicker Service
on Soldiers' Letters
Washington, Aug. 6. Senator
Johnson, of California, declared in
the Senate yesterday that the un r
necessary delay in transporting let
ters between soldiers and their fami
lies not only was destroying the mor
ale of the mothers of this country,
but was injuring that of the fighters
themselves.
"I ask the Senate to aid In sparing
these boys in France additional
hardships," he said, "and in bringing
by united action better service in the
transportation of letters written to
them from home."

Times Are Abnormal.—Abnormal
conditions now prevailing in regard
to labor and material are given as
the main reasons by the Public Serv
ice Commission for dismissing com
plaints brought against the Pennsyl
vania railroad in regard to station
facilities in Cambria county and
against the Latrobe Water Company
operating in Westmoreland county.
The decisions were written by Com
missioner James Alcorn. In the
complaint against the Pennsylvania
it was asked that an agency station
be established at Beaverdale as more
convenient to many people than
Lloydell, 2,500 feet 'away. Beaver
dale has developed more rapidly due
to mining operations. It is suggested
that it would "be better to have one
commodious station and an agency
situated with regard to the bulk of
tho population, but owing to the war
the commission will not act. In the
Latrobe case an extension of water
lines was asked for and the company
agreed if the persons to be served
would pay the difference between the
prices of labor and material now and
in normal times. The complaint is
dismissed with leave to renew In
January, 1920. In the complaint of
Byron C. Bair against the Bell Tele
phone Company, growing out of Ger
vico at Sinking Springs, Berks coun
ty, it is' held by Commissioner John
S. Rilling that the company should
not refuse service.
COll lpen sat ion Award". —The state
compensation board to-day announc
ed that it had again awarded com
pensation jn the claim of Eugene J.
Glasser vs. J. N. Canfield, Philadel
phia, a case which was remanded
back to the board by Judge Suden
leid, of Philadelphia, for a supple
mental finding. The board goes into
much detail of the case and holds
that there is no testimony to substan
tiate even an insinuation of malign
ing and gives data as to the in
jury sustained by the claimant. The
board awarded compensation In
three other cases which had been
the subjects of extensive study: Hain
vs. Reading Paper Mills, Reading;
Cromly vs. Everhart, Williamsport,
and C'leland vs. Garrett, New Wil
mington. The latter case was a
complicated one in which the owner
of a saw mill agreed to remain with
the new buyer to show him how to
operate it. After the sale had been
made the holler blew up and the
former owner contended that he had
remained as an employe and was en
titled to compensation for injuries.
The defendant 'strenuously," In the
language of the opinion, denied .such
an agreement. The board in con
sidering the testimony of the claim
ant and a miller to whom he had
spoken awards compensation.

But in my opin
ion you can't make

metallic Iron. The
old forms of metal
lic iron must go
through a digestive process to trans
form them into organic iron—Nux
ated iron—before they are ready to
be taken up and assimilated by the
human system. Notwithstanding all
that has been said and written on
this subject by well-known physi
cians, thousands of people still Insist
on dosing themselves with metallic
iron, simply. 1 suppose, because it costa
a few cents less. I strongly advise
• readers in all cases to get a physi
cian's prescription for organic iron—
Nuxated Iron—or If you don't want
to go to this trouble then purchase
Nuxated Iron in Its original packages
and see that this particular name
(Nuxated Iron) appears on the pack
age. If you have taken preparations
such as Nux and Iron and other simi
lar iron products and failed to get re
sults, remember that such products
are an entirely different thing from
Nuxated Iron.
