Writing from the state penitentiary at Puebla, on Nov. 26, Jenkins said he had refused to give bond as it seemed beet to meet these people squarely and hare it out once for all. as otherwise they - would trouble me . for months and months." The letter said the general feeling there was that "Mexico will make one of her usual insulting replies" to the American note : requesting Mr. Jenkins' release, and that the American embassy, at Mexico City then had a representative at Puebla, "taking evidence that the court has refused to take." ' "I would not like to see intervention." Mr. Jenkins wrote, "as I think that It ought to be possible to solve the Mexican problem without actual Intervention, although the attitude of the present government is hard to understand at times. -"- Had Chance In War. "Mexico had the greatest chance on earth to get on her feet and stay there during the big war, by taking a stand in favor of the allies, but the government was violently pro-German, and from the continued persecution that they are showing in my case, It would eeem that they are still taking advantage of all opportunities to insult the United States government "There are so many irregularities Bn the case that they have presented (against me that it seems impossible tor me not to get some sort of satisfaction even in the courts as they are here and I am now asking that it be taken out of the hands of the local jjudge. who Is a mere tool of the goveraor. and put in the hands of a federal i

Widenmann, of Stony Point, N. T., who contended that ratification by the necessary number of states had not been completed becauses certain of the states reserved a referendum.

Czechs Deny Depending on Allies for Help TOKIO. Nor. 15 (Correspondence of the A. P.) The Czecho- Slovak information bureau at Harbin Issueea a denial of the report published by the Russian Teleaxanh Acencv to the af-

feet that the question regarding the bureau says: "The - repatriation of the Czecho slovak soldiers proceeds according to the plans of theCzecbo-Slovak govern ment and also at their own responsi bility. This evacuation depends on the Allies only In the sense of what aid they can render in the way of transport on a more or less sufficient scale but not In the sense of the solu tion of the problem itself. "The Cxechc- Slovak government will endeavor to carry out the evacuation of its troops by measures of its own, without having to seek aid which might mean dependency on the Allies. The report of the Russian agency emanates from misconception and ignorance concerning the evacuation, of the Czechs from Siberia.

CHILDREN IN SIBERIA . DIE OF STARVATION

TOKIO, Nov. 10. Correspondence of The Associated Press. Unless some Immediate assistance in the most substantial form is sent to those who are working in Siberia to stem the ravages of hunger, exposure and disease, one of every three among the young children of Siberia is doomed' to die this winter, according to the estimate of the situation sent to Japan by Countess Tolstoi, a well known relief worker of the Russian Red Cross and a relative of the late Count Tolstoi. "Ask in almost every family and you will find that during the past few months there has been one or more deaths among the children." writes Countess Tolstoi from Omsk. rnis or course applies particularly to the poor, but even among the pros perous there has been a decided Increase of child mortality. I knew that in Tomsk, for Instance, a university town and one where the average fam ily seems well off the mortality is high er than 30 percent The percentage of deaths among the children living In refugee barracks and the crowded railroad box cars which house thousands along the trans-Siberian line, is higher than thirty percent. If accurate statistics were kept the world would be appalled at the wholesale loss of life among the citizens of a country struggling to be free." Prices of milk, butter, bread, meat and other food staples have been advancing for many months and even in sections of Siberia, where wheat, oattl, sheep, barley and poultry are plentiful the prices are comparatively high, owing to the depreciation in the value of the rouble the standard money. Many refugees are under-nourished in the midst of plenty because they have no money with which to buy. Foreign Banks Object to Taxation by Spain " (By Associated Press) ' MADRID, Dec. 6.
