18 MUST CARE FOR CAVE DWELLERS Red Cross Sees That Refu gees Are Unable to Look After Themselves Omsk, Nov. 12. —Several thousand cave-dwelling refugees in the out skirts of Omsk, facing a Siberian winter only a month or two off, liv ing in a hand-to-mouth fashion with nothing in the way of clothing but the rags in which they stand, con stitute a problem for the American Red Cross, practically the only or ganization to which they can look with any hope of relief. The Asso ciated Press correspondent accom panied Major Charles McDonald and Dr. A. F. Jackson, Red Cross man agers, on a tour of inspection to day. They were trying to gauge the necessities and match them against their resources already badly strained with relief work among refugees and troops. The first group of huts visited numbered a hundred and forty, cov ering perhaps an acre of ground and averaging five persons to a hut. There were two other similar set tlements in the neighborhood. Most of the huts were burrows, sometimes with a Uttle window peeping out close unltr the clay covered roof. Crude steps led down into the dark interiors which one entered by dou bling up like a jackknife. Stoves contrived out of bricks and stones and scraps of sheet iron, a wide bunk or platform which served as sleeping accommodation for the en tire family, a table made out of odds and ends and a stool or two con stituted the usual furnishings. To be sure there were more preten tious ones here and there with wood sheathing against the clay walls, whitewashed or papered with news papers, and having hoard floors, but these were the "bourzhui" among the refugee proletariat. One cave about eight feet by ten feet had originally housed seven people. To-day there were two; the others had died during eighteen months in the settlement. Most of those living in these huts have been refugees since 1915 when they were driven from their homes in Poland and Lithuania by the Russian army during its first advance against the Germans. Many of them had been farmers, prosperous in a small way, or factory workmen or tradesmen. Nearly all of them find employment enough to eke out an existence and the Omsk government provides food for those who are not able to work.

Nov. 12.—1n the House of Lords, that famous palace on Leip zigerstrasse where the Prussian junkers, the dukes, counts and barons used to dream their pan-Ger man dreams of world empire, sneer at popular rights and even bulldoze Wilhelm von Hohenzollern, their most gracious ruler, so-called, a new leaf was turned the other night when the National Convention of German servant girls, cooks, nurse maids, wash and scrub women and kitchen girls was called to order in the staid old hall were Prince Bismarck was wont to thunder. It was a great meeting, even if it was not conducted strictly according to Cushing's Manual. There were delegates from all of the principal cities of Germany, representing the "women folks down stairs" as well as the "upstairs girls." Even poor olcj Vienna of the merry washer maiden tradition had sent a delegate who made a very creditable speech, reporting a most phenomenal ac complishment: No more hand kisses in Austria!!

I/ORIKS IX) NOT WANT WOMEN London. Nov. 12. The 'House of Lords yesterday rejected the clause in the bill for the removal of sex disqualifications which would per mit women to sit in the House of I Lords. The clause in the form of an amendment was added to the bill by the House of Commons October HARRISBURG TELEGRAPIf NEW STAR FOR LOCAL. TOSSERS Sam Mooreliead Will Play With Independents; Here Saturday Sam Moorehead, of Philadelphia, regarded as one of the best center men in professional basketball cir cles, has been signed to finish the season with the Harrisburg Inde pendents. He will take the place of "Big Hoss" Haggerty, who intends to finish the season with the Read ing club of the Eastern League Moorehead pluyed against Hag gerty here in the opening contest of this season, with the St. Eliza beth five, of Philadelphia, and hla work in that contest was of high order. While not quite as accom plished in the handling of the ball as Haggerty, Moorehead is a faster floor worker, and is a more able dribbler than the big boy. The "Big Hoss" has been a mem ber of the Reading club for several years. Last year the Eastern League was hot organized, and Haggerty ' had little difficulty in getting out to play with other clubs. The reorgan ization of the league this season took him back to the Reading club, and league rulings prevent his playing with any teams outside of the league. Moorelienil PlaJ's Saturday In order to lower the inducements for outside play, the Reading club has increased its salary roll consid erably, and Haggerty received such an excellent offer that he has de cided to confine his activities to the Rmding club alone this season. Moorehead is to play his first game with the Independents Satur day night of this week against the Vincome team, of Philadelphia. He will be opposed by either Jack Law rence or Larry Pasqurillo, and the battle of the centermen should pro vide an interesting feature of the fray. Moorehead will take part in one of the practices to be conduct ed by Manager Ford and the other j members of the Independent squad j this week, and. should be in good I shape to make things hum when the ! team lines up against the Vineomes ' Saturday.
