Zurich Herald, 1917-06-15, Page 9RUSSIAN TROOPS RUSH TO SCHOOLS "DARKEST RUSSIA" IS A THING OF THE PAST. Men Are So Eager to Get an Educa- tion That They Are Too Busy to Fight. Many of Russia's soldiers are so busy acquiring. an education that they haven't time to fight. They are crowding the children out of the schools. In many sections they have started schools of their own, says a correspondent writing from Petro- grad. Minister of War Kerensky has had tremendous success in instilling the fight spirit in the troops actually at the front, but there are thousands of fighters who still roam about freely Aover Russia or else have laid down the rifle for the schoolbook. Here, in Petrograd, a Jaeger.regi- extent to -day opened a "soldiers' uni- versity," where fighters are taught mathematics and history. At Poleeon the soldiers have usurped the desks of children in the schools. At Samara the munitions workers have felt the same yearning for knowledge and have opened schools alongside their factories. "Darkest Russia" is no more—and the people as a whole, now seeing the light, want knowledge to guide them in the dazzling glare of their new- found freedom. Extraordinary efforts are 'being made all over the country to back up Minister Kerensky's appeals to make the soldiers fight. Notwithstanding this all trains are crowded with uni- formed men, visiting their families or just wandering around. I witnessed the departure from Petrograd yesterday of the weekly Vladivostok express. Scores of sol- diers clung to the doors, the rails— even the roofs pf the cars—so desper- ate were they to reach their homes. I was told the sight was by no means unusual, These are the men on whom the 'Government is now exerting every possible persuasion to -make them see that the new liberty they enjoy must be fought for and won on the battle- field. Villages Need Food. To stop the practice of soldiers wan- t uLG.$TRt+?a n is uec ''an ' ill w iovernment conimissioners throughout the provinces to "take "speedy and energetic steps to return deserters to the front." Food difficulties still give trouble. Official estimates to -day put the total of Russia's wheat stocks at about 120,000,000 bushels—a goodly supply. But there are tremendous problems in the transportation of this grain. One other source of difficulty is the inclination of the peasants to hold their wheat among themselves and not sell it in the villages. The peasants claim in past years villagers have over- charged them for shoes and clothes. Many instances are reported here where the farmers have refused high prices in the towns—and then given their produce freely and without charge—to soldiers. At Soomsh, Tamboff and Shamlineff, where vil- lagers were literally starving for lack of food, the peasants' congress, now in session here, finally succeeded in persuading the farmers to relent, and sell their crops in the villages. Minister of War and Marine Keren- sky to -day ordered the establishment of a Government life insurance bureau for the benefit of Russia's sailors. FLIERS' PROPAGANDA BALKED. Germans Forbid Belgians Touching Paper Dropped by Aviators. A fine of $2,500 and three years im- prisonment are the penalties imposed by the German authorities on Bel- gians who dare pick up proclamations or objects of any nature dropped by allied aviators in invaded territory. The inhabitants are forbidden to ap- preach any flying machine that may be obliged to alight in Belgian terri- tory and are obliged whenever an aviator lets fall any object whatever io notify the burgomaster, who in turn must report immediately to the kom- inandantur. This measure is supposed in Bel- gium to be intended to put an end to propaganda by the aviators of the lielgian, French and British flying corps, who, have until now succeeded in keeping the Belgians 1'emaining in occupied territory more or less posted on the military situation. Boom in Bee -keeping. England is experiencing a bee -keep- ing boom. Many persons ere keeping bees in order to save sugar by sub- stituting home -produced honey. At present the demand is so great that there are no more hives available and dealers are at their wits end to meet `colt;irements. When You E,e t '►=read you are entitled to every- thing in the whole wheat grain. Dr. Wiley says: "Wheat is a complete food containing all the elements necessary for human nutri- tion." But be sure you get the whole wheat in a digesti- ble form. Shredded Wheat Biscuit is whole wheat, made digestible by steam -cooking, shredding and baking—the best process ever devised fon preparing the whole wheat grain for the human stomach. Two or three of these crisp little loaves of baked whole wheat with milk and berries, make a delicious nourishing meal. Made in Canada. Two Pretty Frocks • 'TIiIRfl'T iN toritsT Pints, Nine -tenths of the 10,000 Annual Fres Are Set by Inhabitants. There are estimated to be 10,000 forest fires in Canada t3VerY year oil all sizes and descriptions. N n 'tenths' are set by human hands and the damage runs 'from four to ten millions of dollars, not' counting damage to soil, to the value of watershed areas and many other factors. "Thrift in forest fires" is a now movement which the Canadian Fora estry Association has started amongst the guides and campers and sports- men of Canada with a view to cutting down the country's timber losses in. 1917. As is well known, the present- day causes of forest fires are not the railways as much as the settlers, camper's, hunters and fishermen. Thoughtlessness in respect to camp fires, the throwing away of lighted tobacco, matches, etc., has caused some of the woret conflagrations in history. During the months of May and June, before the fire season is well under way this year, thousands of out -doors men are being asked by the co-operation of the newspaper publishers of Canada to make 1917 a year of thrift in the forest, THIN -BLOODED MEN AND WOMEN Need the Rich, Red Blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Actu- ally Make. Thin -blooded people do not remain so from choice but from indifference, in some cases from despair. People " who are pale, languid, with palpitation of the heart, some difficulty in breath- ing and a tendency to be easily tired are suffering from thin blood. They need only the resolution to take the right treatment and stick to it until cured. The remedy that can be relied upon is Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. With every dose they make new blood, and new blood means health and strength. The red cheeks, good appetite, increased weight and strength that follow•the use of these pills prove their great value to thin blooded people. Here is an example: Mrs. J. McDonald, Jr., Hay, Ont., says: "I honestly believe Dr. Williams Pink Pills saved my life. Some years ago I had anemia, and as I did not realize the seriousness of the trouble I soon became a complete wreck. I got "so weekI eould, llai i walk.

A group of Northerners at a hotel in Louisville were poking fun at the par- tiality of Southerners for the titles of "colonel," " lr colonel, major, and � "judge."

Did you ever realize that the colors of our flag red, white and blue—aro used by nearly all the nations? Of the three, red is the one most common- ly met with, being found in virtually all the European flags. In heraldry red means "military fortitude," so it is not surprising that it should be se- ed as the color most becoming ng for a country's emblem. Military forti- tede means honor, and honor may mean sacrifice, and as red is the color of the blood that is sacrificed in de- fence of honor, red certainly ought to have a place, and a large one, in a na- tion's flag. White, according to some authori- ties, signifies "peace and sincerity." It also stands for purity, and, as some one who was recently explaining the colors of the flag stated, white stands for vision, that revelation of liberty for which our country is celebrated. Blue means loyalty and truth; and as it is also the color of Heaven, it stands for religion. Our duty to God and to our country may be expressed in our national flag. It is interesting to note that the great allied nations, Great Britain, France, Russia and the United States, have flag's made up of combinations' of red, white and blue, so that the four countries, should stand, and do stand, for the same ideals: Honor, Purity and Loyalty.

Dominions Are Fighting For Liberty, Says 1V`ewfoundianda' Governor. The Mahraja of Bikanir speaking recently said:— "Those who say that India is held by the sword do a great injustice both to Great Britain and to tndla; British rule in India rests on firmer principles of justice, equity, and fair play. In the process of a constructive, healthy evolution it is inevitable that differ- ences should arise, but these are not more than a family quarrel to be set- tled between the parent country and the younger members of the Imperial household." Sir Edward Morris speaking of Newfoundland's pride at the part she was playing in the war emphasized that the part the dominions were tak- ing in the war was due to their love of liberty.
