HA VAN" A. Cuba. Auc 12 With the rec nt outhnak of anniba'isti-r prar .-tiers ,y Voodoo worshipiers. whieh have resulted in the deaths of at least three Innocent children and a half dozen of the Voodoos, the latter hy the application of the "iyn-h" law for the first time in this country's history, fathers and mothers are living in constant fear that their little ones may he spirited avay hy the superstitious neproes to he offered up in sacrifice to "Chanpo." the pod of the "Ilrujos." as they are called In the Castilian lanruage. The Voodoos arc divided In various sects, each with its separate god. The latter Include "Hahag-ueye." god of sickness: "Kkeua," pod of Injury; "Olorrun." god of misery, and "Cranio." the. terrible Rod, to whom human sacrifices are made. "Char.Ko," according to the Voodoo belief, was the son of Olc-rrun and Anaraprua. He was slain hy Klecua. the "god of injury," and ascended into heaven from a Ceiba, or god-tree, in the month of May. It is in the month of May, therefore, that the "I'.rujos" oh serve their holy week when Chun'O is expected to make a

weekly visit to earth, descending by the e'eiha. his sacred tree, always on Monday. The followers of I'lerua do not directly offer human sacrifices, although their healers sacrifice the lives of some patients. by giving them poisonous concoctions, supposedly a mysterious cure for some ailment, 'in order to restore to health some othrr patient. Klecua, boing the "god of injury." his followers believe that good can come to one person only through injury to another. Voodooism is not practiced by the negroes alone. Many white persons also are said to secretly take part in their religious meetings, and accusations have been heart! in various quarters of the difficulties encountered by ofiieers necking to break up their temples because of the obstacles placed in their v ay by persons of influence. An active campaign by the authorities in Havana and other parts of the island have resulted in the capture of numerous "Urujos" and the seizure of many curious and weird objects us"d by Jhem.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. Complete collapse of the Kolchak movement in Siberia was forecast in reports reaching Washington .Monday Kolchak forces have fallen hack almo-t '00 miles from their former advanced lines And Omsk ua.s said to h threatened with tvatuation. Failure of the allied and associated -o ernments to j-'i-t adequate suplies to Kolchak, they said, had forced him to fall back fete idily before the greatly (superior bolshevik forces con'posed of veterans whose otfhtrs include many doi'iiians wlrj fled to Itu.Mvii when the armistice was siu'nd. Otti.-ials hete ;rc known 1o regard lvolt ha.k's- eliorts at an ej.d unless most radical nieaaure.-i are adopted by outshb crnmeiits, and it was su.Kested the prtsldenl miIU cid ihe attention of congress to the irnmineniH? of bolshevik control of all fc'ib: ria.

The- prposition of cvteudin aid to Admiral Kolchak received ti'c tupport of Pres't Wilson and his asfociatea at the peace conlcrtnce in I'arls, but the Rettin or .-ajplles tt him wan found to be more of a military than a diplomatic problem

Trance. Kn-land and Japan were m a position politically to offer .supplies, but the position of the United States was not sc clear on that point. The American foice alread in Siberia is t ar from the Kolchak -bolshevik lines-. It was placed there for the announced purpose of jruardInr: the supplies at Vladivostok anrl '.lie protection of the tians-Siberian railroad. The status of the Uritish force was quite different, for the mission of the army wan to establish a line of communication with Admiral Kolchak's army, making possible thvre of Archangel as a base of supplies. Streich IiviciM. It Ins f.viled. The stretch between Archangel and Kolchak nas increased until now little hope remains tf Ko'ehak reeocnr. unless much larger forces are sent to hisupport. The supplifs the French and Fir i t ih have succeeded in getting through have iec n. almost neiuiblo and Japan, becaJse of the distance and hu-r location, has not been able to conti iliote eve n a small part. The probable withdrawal of the liritish voluutMr forces before another winter is onstiied here ps due to a desire of the government not to add to the already seriour. disturbance of practical conditions a', home.
