THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM,

ROOT MISSION GIVEN OVATION BY SIBERIANS Crowds Gather In Villages To Greet American Envoys To Republic. WERCHNE-UDINSK, Siberia, Sept 8 (Correspondence of The Associated Press) A thousand Russians crowded the railway station platform and cheered for America as the Root Diplomatic Commission's special train stopped at this interesting frontier town to change engines. This point is the end of the Caravan trail from China, across Mongolia to the TransSiberia railway. The cosmopolitan character of its population could be distinguished by a glance at the shouting crowd. Chinese and Mongolians, wearing their picturesque robes, stood beside the Russians clad in blouses of all colors. Peasants and patricians, soldiers and civilians, humble women wearing shawls over their heads and well-dressed women with fashionable hats, joined in the cheers for the American party. Official Explains Party. Such insistent demands were made for information about the commission that Mr. Gorbotenko, the official designated by the Russian Railway Administration to conduct the American Commission, made a brief address in which he explained who the members of the party were and the reason for their appointment by President Wilson to confer with the Russian government. This did not satisfy the insistent crowd. Speeches were demanded from the Americans. Mr. Root responded in a short address, thanking the crowd for the reception and expression of good will toward America. He said the commission brought a message of sympathy, hope and courage from the American people to the Russian people and that the great American democracy sympathized with the Russian democracy and was determined to do everything in its power to cooperate with Russia in the great battle against tyranny. "America" and "democracy" are much the same in Russian that they are in English. Consequently the Russians caught those words and applauded enthusiastically before the interpreter translated the remarks of Mr'. Root. Hats and caps bearing the red insignia of the Revolution were waved frantically and thrown into the air as the special moved out of the the station with Mr. Root, General Scott, and the other members of the party waving farewell to the crowd. Other Demonstrations. Similar demonstrations were held at Petrofeki, Zavod, Mogzon and several other larger stations, and small groups were gathered at less important towns eager for a glimpse of the American commission. Before the Revolution the police in Siberian towns forbade all gatherings. Consequently, the public is now making the most of its freedom. Peasants who cannot read and have been in almost total ignorance of the political and military situation now gather about members of citizens' and soldiers' committees who read the latest dispatches and discuss the news for the benefit of the uneducated and uninformed. Red flags float from the railway stations and public buildings cf all the Siberian towns. Members of the committees in control of the towns all wear red bands upon their arms. Soldiers no longer salute their officers. The military organizations are now controlled by soldiers' committees which have charge of dicipline. At first many of these committees were extremely lax. But the necessity for discipline soon became apparent and conditions are speedily improving. Since the militia in Siberia has been freed of officers whose loyalty to the revolutionary movement was In question more and more confidence is being placed in the officers, and the soldiers are realizing that democracy cannot succeed without discipline and authority. Captain Alfred L. Ganahl, age tw-enty-three of Springfield, is said to be the youngest captain in the United States army engineering corps.

War Makes Business Better

On account of so many men going to war and the cost of living being extremely high most business houses are feeling the pinch. Not so with Rosts Tailor Shop. On the contrary their business is reported better for the reason that many people who have never patronized the store before have seen the wisdom of their old customers in taking their suits where they could have them cleaned for $1.00 instead of paying $1.50 and by having their new clothes made there because they actually could have them tailored to order at $5.00 less than they could buy a readymade suit and still get better work and material in their clothing, on account of "Rost the Tailor Man's" method of buying mill ends of goods and being out of the high rent district. On account of increased business Rost's Tailor Shop Is enabled to continue the old established prices. To save money Phone 1677 or call at 14 No. 6th. Adv.

STUDY SPANISH FOR TRADE WORK Young persons who can 6peak and understand Spanish are in great de mand, according to Frank Albus, sec retary of the Commercial club. He says that thousands of manu facturers are handicapped in the work which they might do in South America, by the lack of Spanish speaking sales men. South America has become a great field for salesmen In all lines of work and is even greater now than before the war. There are over 51 million people in South America. Secretary Albus urges all high school students who expect to go into the business world to take up the study of Spanish. Superintendent Giles says that Spanish will be offered in the high school curriculum if there is a suffic ient demand for it. It will also be taught in the night school as usual. There are many books in the Morrisson Reeves library on South America. Among the best and most instructive are "Exporting to Latin America," by Filsinger and "The South Americans" by W. H. Koebel.

By McManus One Out of Every Third Marriage in State Goes Wrong INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 8 Almost every third marriage in Indiana went wrong in 1916 according to a tabulated report made up by Henry A. Roberts, state statistician. The report shows that one divorce was filed for every three and one-half marriages performed. The tabulations show that the total number of divorces asked during the year in the ninety-two counties of the state was 9,772 and the number of marriages 33,522. The number of divorces granted was 5.778 4,377 to wives and 1,399 to husbands. Most of the divorces granted were on the grounds of cruel and inhuman treatment. Wives obtained 1.933 decrees on that charge and husbands 444. Husbands were granted more divorces on statutory charges than wives, there being 248 decrees to husbands and 208 to wives on that charge. Abandonment by husbands brought about 773 divorces and by wives. 444. Drunkeness was the cause of 434 divorces being granted to wives but only 30 to husbands. Failure to provide by the busbands gave 700 wives their freedom. You step on your starter and your car is ready. No car on the market at almost double the price will offer you as much.
