(J. S. ASKED TO AID I RUSSIAN REFUGEES! - Philippines Suggested as I Refuge for More Than Twenty Thousand. BY Jt'Nll'S B, WOOD. Rt Wireless to The Stir and Chicago Dally j News. Copyright, 1923. TOKIO, January 12.—The American ! government Is requested to become | responsible* for between twenty and j thirty thousand voluntary Russian I refugees now scattered about In help- j less, starving groups in Manchuria,, Korea. China and Japan. Spiridon j Merkulov, former president of the Japanese-created "Vladivostok repub- | lie,” who is now comfortably Installed i 11 a Tokio hotel, makes the proposal ■ 11.' Charles B. Warren, American am-, bassador. j Merkulov’s plan is that America j furnish the necessary ships and sup- j piles to gather up all his followers :*nd transport them to the Philippines or the winter, and that when the weather moderates the women, chll- 1 •Iren and civilians be taken to the j T'nited States, while the former sol- | dlers among the refugees be landed j m Russia, where they can continue j harassing the country, although the j bolshevlki promised amnesty to all of j the refugees except criminals. The plight of the refugees is due to 1 circulars sent out by the Merkulov | government in Vladiwoslok prophesy- i ug a general massacre by bolshevlki! troops. As a result, thousands fol- j lowed him in his flight from that city. 1 Kxcept Merkulov and his leaders who ■ are living in luxury in Japan, the i thousands of other refugees are now ! facing death from freezing and starv- 1 at ion. i After foreigners here started a re- 1 lief fund for the refugees in Japan the Japaense government assumed lie responsibility of caring for at arge group which had reached Gen-| ■an. Korea. Another group which had seized twelve government ships at Vladivostok reached Shanghai, where the foreign colony took over the care I of 300 orphan children and gavo the refugees necessary supplies with which to continue on to Hangkong, ■ Saigon and Manila. Other thousands are reported to bo stranded along the bleak coast of Manchuria where, tin- j assisted and facing starvation, they! are accepting the bolshevik invitation to return to their own country.

Holland, on the afternoon of the wed j ding, November 5. j The photograph and the right for i reproduction has been much sought ! after by all photographers, magazines ; and newspapers, and the story of its : sale by the former kaiser for special j reproduction in America is an inter | esting one. Press photographers and motion picture men from all over the world flocked to Doom at the time ! of the wedding and many of them 1 have been in the vicinity for four j years, in hope of obtaining a good picture of the former ruler, now in exile. Guards surrounded the home 1 and some photographs taken at a ' great distance were Indistinct and of | poor quality for reproduction. The deal for the wedding phofo -1 graph was negotiated by a Keystone j View agent, Bert Garal. with Court ; Marshal Von Kagge, who tells his j story as follows; See* Court Martial. “My first interview with his court j marshal, who was Instrumental in ; bringing the deal about, took place a week after the wedding. I had a | letter of introduction to him from ! Count von Platen, the ex-kaiser’s j court marshal residing in Berlin in the former crown prince’s* palace. | Count von Platen Is taking care of the ex-kaiser’s interests in Germany. ; I told him that X knew of the ex | istence of such official picture and | would like to buy same, paying in ; marks, thus benefiting the German i people. He agreed with my views and gave me his card to see von Kagge. hofmarshal at Doom, telling me that j the matter would be in the latter’s hands. “I saw Kagge next day in his office in Haus Doom, The walls were full lof pictures and paintings of the ex-kalser taken before and during the ; war. Not a single other picture or ! decoration could I discover, illustrat ing some German historical event or some art piece. “I offered a large amount, but I Kagge said the kaiser had* not made up his mind to who and when he would release the picture. Then he gave me the name of the person with whom I should deal in the future, ask ing me to mention as little as possible i that Haus Doom had anything to do with the selling of the picture, should , I be able to buy same. Finance VnanecessfaU “I told him, however, that he had 1 better release the picture quickly. I understood that a London press pho ! togxapher obtained a picture with long focus camera. He promptly ' stated that this was another of those clever camouflages to put something over on the camera men. “Even his fiancee. Princess Hermlne, who held very liberal views regard ing press photgraphers and allowed herself to be photographed quite often In Germany after the engagement was known, could not alter the former kaiser’s ideas. While the bride was i often snapped before and after the THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, I>. FRIDAY, JANTTjffiY f 2. T 923. wedding, the ex-kaiser was able to escape the eye of the camera. “Then the former ruler, realizing the profit made In circulating false pictures of himself, suddenly changed his mind and. figuring on Increased expenditures In the future, decided to be photographed, the same way as he decided to write his memoirs and sell same at once. “The photo was made by a Dutch village photographer, quite an old nian, knowing very little about press and publicity. It was arranged that this man should deliver the negatives and in fact, develop the same In Doom. “The picture was made at 3 p.m. on November 5, after the departure of ' the guests. Not even his Dutch and j German guests were aware of the ; presence of this man, and his identity j was strongly guarded. The pho- I tographer, being paid for the Job. j hoped to photograph some of the j guests, and he bluntly asked the ex kaiser after the pose, for permission. , The latter, however, curtly informed I him that all guests had departed and ' I his job, for which he was hired, was i completed.

East Providence, a teacher In the public schools of this city, Is a firm believer In the eight eenth amendment and would not knowingly violate any of Its regula tions. But yesterday one of the va garies of hurriedly transferring from one car line to another caused her to “swap” Boston bags with a bootleg ger, and thus. Innocently enough, be come party to the transportation of liquor. These are the circumstances that j led her to carry to her schoolroom a I bottle of “white mule” and a revolver. ! She reported the matter to the police, I who have little hope that the man I sitting next to Miss Wood on the i street ear vcill do the same. Miss Wood and the police do hope, however, that the man will be cour teous enough at least to mall her Boston bag, which contains examina tion papers of her pupils, a pair of eyeglasses and a IIP bill, to her home.
