SERBS KEEP UP
FIGHTING ON THE
RUSSIAN FRONT
Display Same Dash and Vigor
as in Early Days of the
War
Medvejin GOTO, Russian Lapland,
Aug. 26. —A Serbian battalion which
has been fighting under one flag,
or another since August, 1914, still
is fighting, up here in Karelian Rus
sia.
The role of these Serbs on the
North Russian front has been sim
ilar to that of the Czecho-Slovaks
in Serbia and reads like an unfin
ished Iliad. They are big, strapping
well disciplined soldiers, five years
and several thousand miles from
home, and, Just now, when they go
in action against the Bolsheviki,
along with their Russian, British,

TUESDAY EVENING,
French or until recently American
Allies, they display the same dash
and battle enthusiasm that charac
terized the Serbs in the early days
of the war.
One way or another, these Ser
bians reached Odessa, where they
were formed into a battalion for
service against the Central Powers.
They want to get somewhere to fight
Austria so they started for Archangel
hoping eventually to join the Allies
in France. _ -
The Serbs seized a locomotive and
sufficient box cars to carry the bat
talion and after four months journey
arrived at Murmansk.
The Allies landing at Murmansk
in the spring of 1918 found the Ser
bian battalion there, ready to fight
against the Bolsheviki, and, for, the
first few months of the campaign,
the Serbs formed the backbone of
the force opposing the Reds, which
speedily wrested several hundred
miles of the Murmansk railway from
the Communists.
Throughout the subsequent fight
ing on this front Serbs have distin
guished themselves, and now they
are awaiting the day w'hen they can
return to the new greater Serbia
which includes Bosnia and other
territories where they lived when
impressed into the Austrian army.
MANY AMERICAN
AUTOS WILL BE
SENT TO ENGLAND
British Government Is Ex
pected to Loosen Up on
Import Rules
London, Aug. 26.—A large quan
tity of American motor
possibly 5000, may be admitted into
Great Britain in the next few
months, says the American Cham
ber of Commerce in London. This
will include passenger cars, com
mercial cars, and motorcycles.
Up to the present time, importers
have been rationed on the basis of
50 per cent of their 1913 imports,
in proportionate monthly quantities
up to September 1, 1919, at which
time the British Government's "tran
sitional policy" is to be reconsidered.
Those importers who established
their businesses later than 1913
have not been getting anything at
(til.
i'lic Board of Trade recently re
quested the American Chamber of
Commerce in London to suggest a
scheme which would give equitable
consideration to all importers from
America, old and new.
The Chamber has suggested as a
basis of distribution, the yearly aver
age of imports obtained by adding
the totals for 1912-1913-1914-1915,
and dividing by four. This scheme
gives preference to those importers
whose organizations have been in
existence for a long time, but also
takes into account importers who
started in 1914 and 1915.
The plan has been ratified unani
mously by the importers and the,
Board of Trade is now circularizing
the entire trade for their returns jn
this basis.
This is declared to be only a
temporary arrangement, and not to
be taken as an indication of the
British Government's trade policy on
motor vehicles after September 1.
New Board to Fix
Railroad Rates, Johnson
Tells House Committee
Washington, Aug. 26.—The In
terstate Commerce Commission,
functioning as a rate-making body,
with "men of action" rendering es
sential service in Federal regula
tions, represented the ideal combi
nationl in railway development to
new supplies of material for food,
build up the country and uncover
clothing and other factors in the
high cost of living, Alba B. Johnson,
of Philadelphia, told the House Com
mittee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce at its hearing.
Mr. Johnson, recently retired
from the presidency of the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, spoke as presi
dent of the Railway Business Asso
ciation (railway equipment manu
facturers).
While praising the Interstate Com
merce Commission for its compe
tence and fairness In adjudicating
rate discriminations and urging its
preservation as a judicial body, Mr.
Johnson cited its current reports and
testimony in proof of its unfitness to
exercise the business function of es
timating future needs and providing
resources to meet them.
On the other hand, he contended,
to put "men of action" in the Com
mission would "turn it into a sham
bles."

Its Program

ments to the treaty this week will

hearings seemed essential to an in
telligent judgment on the manifold

cratic members, however, who said
there had been an understanding
that the committee would complete
its report to the Senate this week,

being needlessly held up by the

Outline Welfare Work
Brussels, Aug. 26. Two hun
dred physicians from all parts of
Belgium met here to-day to outline
a program for protecting and nour
ishing infants and mothers, also for
nourishing and educating war or
phans.

of the Government and thanked
those present for what they had
done for Belgian children during
the German occupation. He an
nounced that the Government was
now working on a schenqe to estab
lish child-welfare institutes in every
community in the country, the bill

matter how remote.
Doctor Rene Sand, just back from
America, recounted the progress
made there in child work.

Barrier in Way of
Undesirable Aliens
Washington, Aug. 26.—T0 pre
vent an influx of aliens into the
United States after peace is de
clared, President Wilson in a mes
sage to Congress asked that the
Passport law in effect during the
war be continued for one year after
the proclamation of peace. The
President asked for an appropriation
of $750,000 for the use of the State
Department in administering the
law during the remainder of the fis
cal year and to enable it to increase
its organization abroad. The pres
ent organization, the message said,
now is overwhelmed with applica

Bp Associated Press.
Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 26.—Rail
transportation throughout Southern
California as far as Fresno on the
north and as far east as Yuma,
Ariz., was paralyzed to-day. A strike
which began Thursday night when
switchmen and brf.kemen quit their
posts In sympathy with a strike of
trainmen of the Pacific Electric
Company, operating an tnterurban
system and which rapidly extended
to include other truinmen, yardmen
and shopmen, spread last night
northward to Bakersfield, Cal., and
eastward to Yuma.
At the former place 100 switch
men of the Southern Pacific and
Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe
walked out, tying up train service
both to the north and south. At
Yuma thirty-six Southern Pacific
switchmen quit and trainmen le
fused to take out two trains for the
east which had been made up by
officials.
Switchmen and trainmen who
met here last night took no official
action it was said on orders from

Locomotive Engineers and W. G.
Lee, of the Railway Trainmen, to
"perform their usual duties and

BOWMAN'S—Basement. w '
Only Four More Days of the August Safe of
Fine Furniture
In reminding you that the Furniture Sale is nearing the end, we also wish to suggest that we have ample
quantities of fine furniture. It is true that certain suites and pieces have been sold that cannot be duplicated,
but there are a multitude of others just as beautiful in design and up to the Bowman standard of quality.
Although this sale has surpassed any preceding sale in the history of the store, we endeavor by every
means possible to keep our stocks up to assure splendid assortments. The scarcity of good furniture is more
noticeable from day to day, 'tis true; but to-day we are fortunate in having what was ordered months ago.
Since the war, people have not denied themselves as much as they did during the war. In fact, they
have made up for lost time. This accounts for the unprecedented demand which is making good merchan
dise scarcer to-day than during the war. Scarcity of raw materials, labor troubles and various other factors
enter into this situation; therefore, we would suggest that you buy now, if you contemplate buying, because
practically all trade journals and expert authorities can give no assurance of future conditions while the whole
world is unsettled, industrially. J
