UNCLE SI NOW SCHOOLMASTER MANY STUDENTS

Establishment of Vocational Training for Soldiers Makes U. S. Leading Educator.

PAULS, April 22. (Corrrsrondence) Uncle Sam Is now a fully certified pchoolmastPr with about 200,000 khaki-clad pupils. This is the result of the establishment of the- educational corps of tho United STatea army to provide training for vocations and academic instruction for young" men in the army. The educational corps is under the direction of I5ritf. (Jen. Robert I. Hees, who militarized the Amer- '. an colleges laat fall. Under him id an executive commission of thren educators, Dr. Frank E. Spaulding.

superintendent of school in Cleve-,' land; Dr. John Erskine, professor I

of English at Columbia; and Dr. Kenyon L. llutterfield, president of the Massaschusetts Agricultural collie. In all aboüt 7,000 instructors, including a nunber of men of high standing in American education, aro teaching the American soldiers the uay to progress. Everything from a. L, c to university subjects and from stenography to engineering is included within the curriculum of this great and unique college. The army schools were in full operation by January, equipped with 11.000 worth of books specially ordered fom America and provided in part by the American Library association. But there has been a shortage of books and often the book has had to serve for a whole class. Many Iluiuirctls School. Many hundreds of army schools have been established throughout Franco wherever there are enough American soldiers to warrant. (Wn. Pershing's order required a post school in every place where Ö00 or more men were stationed and as the schools had to be opened at once all fcorts of queer places, from cafes to monasteries, were used as schoolrooms, until regular quarters could be provided. The soldiers are studying in barns, stable lofts, aerodromes, army barracks and In one case in a convent. Meantime the army Is endeavoring to provide adequate quarters and sufficient books for its 200,000 students. In cities like Coblenz, the city school buildings are used without Interfering with the regular school life of the children. J These post schools may be termed the primary schools of the army educational s-ystem, though this is inexact as in many of these schools more advanced education is being given to officers and men who are unable to leave their posts and attend the divisional schools of the university. The men attend these post schools after their regular day's work. Then every division has a high school centrally located with better accommodations. Some C0,000 men are attending such high schools. Thn comes the big army university at Heaune which will accommodate many thousands of students. Besides there are about S.OOO officers and men attending French universities who have hospitably thrown open their doors to their American friends and 2,000 men are in English universities. These university students are all men who have had at least the equivalent of two years in college. Available to All.

Obviously few men can be detach

ed from their own units to attend these universities but the post school does not interfere with military work, but is available to every soldier and thus has an important place in the educational system.

The breadth of the work in the

pot schools being done is astounding. Men who cannot itad or write

are to be found studying in the same room with college graduates who are working for advanced degrees. There is a ciance for everybody. The list of ubje:ia taught

would fill a book but here are a few to Illustrate Algebra, calculus, ge

Matsudaira, chief of the Japanese political department at Vladivostok, who has returned to con--.ill with his home government i ..uoted by the Asahl as assorting :h.it the cost of operation of the Siberian railway is to be borne by the allies, not by the United States alone. The railway, he said, forms the backbone of Siberia and its destruction vould mean th starvation of the troops stationed at Omsk, Irkutsk and other places and also of the Eussiar: population throughout Siberia. British troops, about a battalion strong, and the French troop?, are stationed at Omsk to a ..rd the Omsk government, ho said, and they will not withdraw ftojji that place for sometime. "Various reports are in circulation r-g.:rding the alleged activities

BV JOHN .1. CAIISON. Nrwx-Tin! Maohington Corte pondrnt WASHINGTON'. May Jl. Sen. James E. Watson of Indiana is to be a member of the senate committee on privileges and election:', according to the slate prepared by the republican leaders from eastern states who are in control of congress. Unless within the next f'v days Watson re.üizes that this assignment may place him in serious difficulty later on, his name will be published as a member of that committee. Will H. Hays, chairman of the republican national committer, says the party in the next campaign will accept no contributions of more than $1,000 each. His supporters declare this a great reform on the basis that anvone making greater contributions must have some sinister purpose In making them. The corollary of this policy of limiting contributionists that there shall bo

no large expenditures for any individual candidate.

The committee on privileges and elections will have before them almost immediately the contest brought by supporters of Henry Ford of Michigan to unseat Sen. Truman II. Newberry, his successful opponent In the election of last November. Ford contends that his defeat was accomplished by methods which are illegal and offers affidavits that there was expended In Newberry's behalf more than $176,000, or more than Newberiy can earn in salary as senator in more than "0 years. The only justification offered by Newberry supporters for the expenditures is that Newberry was not aware of them. Some of the affidavits may discredit this defense. Slam at Newberry. Watson, recognized as the close riend of Hays, as his spokesman in many instances in the senate, must now either declare by his actions that Hays' declaration of the wisdom and political morality of accepting small contributions is worthy of approval and thereby tight to prevent Newberry from remaining in his seat, or he must by his vote and his actions publicly renounce the program of small contributions and the concomitant policy of small expenditures. It is a very ticklish position for Sen. Watson, one regarded with considerable disquiet by his friends. On the committee with Sen. Watson will be at least one other republican senator who will right to the utmost to unseat Newberry if the charges are justified. Sen. Kenyon of Iowa, showed by his conduct in the famous Eorir.ier case that he was not willing to permit campaigns for the senate to be characterized by unjustifiable practices. There will bo a number of democratic senators who will do their utmost to prevent Newberry from retaining his seat if the evidence supports the many affidavits filed in the iase. Watson by his place in the committee, by his friendship for Hay? and by his clos" alliance with Sen. Penrose of Pennsylvania, republican boss, can just

about win this fight for purity in senate election contest. A certain primary in Indiana will give him an additional reason to. fight a good rght. Kterthin done it. But this committee assignment is not the only one of significant e obtained by Watson. Though Indiana as well as the entire vt is neglected in the assignment f important chairmanships. Watson has obtained a' place n the senate committee on finance. This committee, with the foreign relations committee, the banking and currency committee ;nd th appropriations committee, will the only great and important committees during the entile congress.

Watson was ehoen for this p'. c" j immediately after the reactionaries! on th rpab".:ean s?de announced! thf.v would refuse to concede the J demand of the "progressives" and i

unseat Sen. Penrose, as chairman. The minute Penrose was named. Watson was natmd next. Wht-n Pen-lo-r is nt in his place in the committee, Watson will - deal the cards." But lust for the moment ac-ain to

review how the east is in the saddle, it is known that Idge will be chairman of the foreign relations committee. He is from Massachusetts. Penrose will be chairman of the finance committee. He is from Pennsylvania. McLean will be chairman of the banking and currency committee. He is from Connecticut. Warren will be chairman of the appropriations committee and though from Wyoming, his long residence in the east has so saturated him with the reactionary ideas of that section that the "progressives" in the senate demanded he be not named for this place. Four big chairmanships and the four Tally go to eastern men! There are six big plums in the congress, that are outside the control of patronage. Four of the six biggest go to a small section of the east.

TOMSK, Siberia. April 25. (Correspondence) The refugees at Tomsk, the great university center of Siberia, who are mostly from European Russia, are estimated to number 100,000. Into this district of hardship and suffering the American Bed Cross has come energetically and successfully. "When four American girls reached Tomsk and organized Bed

Cross work here:, typhus fever was spreading rapidly and all of the places where the refugees massed were points of infection and dissemination. It was useless to distribute clothing or attempt feeding unless means were first devised to stop the spread of the deadly epidemic. The Bed Cross now has taken over IS barracks into which the reJugees hae herded, and each ol these barracks will be cleaned and disinfected in turn, their inhabitants meanwhile being housed at a clearing station. This station is provided with baths and disinfecting apparatus for clothes and has dispensary' and simple hospital facilities. Under the direction of the Red Cross unit, there has been establish

ed a sewing room where lcfugeo women are given employemnt. The city gave rent free, vl large welllighted and well-warmed room and a number of sewing machines American made. The Bed Cross has accepted the offer of the Tomsk university medical school to turn over its clinical hospital. American doctors will come in later. All the Red Cross work focuses on providing immediate relief to meet the emergency until tho refugees can become self-supporting. Employment is difficult to obtain. However, plans are being developed to provide employment for the women and get the children to school. It is expected that this spring a large proportion of the idle men can find work either on the farm o- on the trans-Siberian railroad. Tomsk has a number of factories, but owing to the breakdown in railway transportation, many are closed because they cannot get materials with which to operate.
