I CASUALTIES FOR
NEW YORK, Dec. 18. Estimating
Russian casualties in the world war
at "noi less than $.000,000 men, of
whom 3,000,000 wore killed and about
I 1.000,000 disabled for life." A. J. Sack,
I director of the Russian information
bureau, declared in an address before
the foreign commorco club here to
day that "Russia's present pitiful con
dition is due to her exhaustion from
"She is dying in seas of blood and
lers," he continued, "and, further, mil
lions of her people are facing death,
i this time from starvation. About 20,-
000,000 Russians will die this winter
unless the allied countries render the
unfortunate country immediate help on
a very generous scale.
"Russia has sacrificed millions of
her sons and all her happiness to make
the triumph of the allied cause pos
sible and at this solemn moment of
victory the thought of the democratic
nations should be devoted to Russia
and they should not feel any right to
joy and "happiness until Russia is made
again great, free and happy.
"After the Bolshevist tyranny is
crushed and civic rights are re-established,
the Russian people will again
call a constituent assembly, on the
basis of universal, direct, equal and
secret suffrage, and the assembly will
define the constitution of the state
and will solve Russia's main social
problems."

John R. Mott Says Sol

Methods to Be Aired.
j EXORBITANT PRICES
Complaints So Numerous
That They Must Be
Met Says Secretary.
NEW YORK, Doc. IS The officials
of the Y. M. C. A. Avill thoroughly in
vestigate complaints by wounded sol
diers returning from France of the
manner in which its activities abroad
are boing conducted, according to an
nouncemont hero today by Dr. John R.
Mott, general secretary of the asso
ciation's war work council.
Addressing a meeting of the council
held to formulate a policy for the first
six months of 1919, Dr. Mott declared
thnt the complaints "have been so
numerous and widespread that they
must be' met."
Part of the criticism by soldiers has
been that tho Y. M. C. A. charged more
than prevailing prices for clgarotles
and other supplies.
In presenting a budget of approxi
mately 5100.000,000 the committee
whioh drew it up reported that it called
for $15,000,000 less than tho Y. M. C.
A. quota of the United War Work fund.
The committee added that it was
sufficient to continue essential work
not only among America's fighting
forces, but among tho allies. At the
same time, the committee said, it was
cut in order that another appeal for
funds would not be necessary before
the end of the demobilization period.
It would be submitted to the depart
ment for tho final approval.
A telegram from Eclouard do Billy,
French deputy high commissioner,
praised the work of the Y." M. C. A.
in France and expressed the hope that
it would be continued during tho re
construction period. t

SALT LAKE, Dec. 18. More than
200 soldiers and sailors, either coming
to Salt Lake or passing through on

with refreshments yesterday by tho
Red Cross canteen workers at the Or
egon Short Line station.
The canteen committees, operating
in squadrons, met every train during

canteen booth will be erectod at tho
Denver & Rio Grande station to take
caro of Boldiers coming here and pas
sing through. The booth will be plac
ed In one of the lobbies near the
tracks. Space is to be set aside at
both stations for the accommodation

FAITH AND TRUST
Be brave! Dear hearts
Who have sacrificed
Near ones to the cannon's boom.
They gave their all, they crushed the
foe,
Though crosses stand there row on
row,
Let the thought of Freedom light the
gloom.
Have faith! Dear hearts
Whose boys now lie
In No Man's Land and Flanders' field.
Have faith, live, live, see the sunset
glow
As once you did short days ago.
Thank God they did not yield.
Trust God! Dear hearts
Whose boys are gone.
He knows best and tempors well
The winds that blow. He will care
for you.
Comfort your heart the whole night
through.
All is well; all is well.

CIVILIANS BITTER
AGAINSIOERMANS
Huns Characterized as "In-j
famous Swine" Must
Be Punished.
BRUGES, Dec. IS. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press) The civil
population of Belgium is much inoro
bitter toward tho Germans than the
soldiors who have fought them to u
standstill during four years, crushed
them, battered them about and wreck
ed tho empire during the past four
months. Terms of bitter execration,
hate and revenge come from the civil
ians alone.
A kind little old woman, the owner
of a cigar storo after selling the As
sociated Press correspondent a vil
lainous cherool, an "ersatz" cigar relic
of the German occupation, launched
forth Into a violent denunciation of the
uninvited guests who made Bruges
their home for four years. "This war
must not end like this," she said with
a vohemonce which contrasted grpatly
with her gentle appearanco. ' We
must go into Germany, they must suf
fer, oxpiate." On the day of their de
parture the Germans robbed her storo
of -5500 worth of her best cigars and
1 cigarettes.
On tho Grande Place in the shadow
of the famous belfry, an irate gentle
man was discoursing loudly, gestic
ulating wildly. "The pigs, the infa
mous swine," he was saying. "Shall it
come to pass that they will esca"p
punishment? Is it possible that tho
German population will not suffer any
of the hnrdshipn that their soldiers
and officers have Inflicted upon us.
Shall they not salute our officers, de
spend into the gutters as our soldiers
promenade on their sidewalks? Is it
conceivable that their women will bo
spared the humiliation of humbling
begging of our officers a passport to
travel between Aix-Ia-Chapellc and
Cologne as our wives and daughters
had to do to go from Bruges to Oa
tend? If wo end It now they are beat
en militarily but they are not van
quished in their pride, in their hearts."
"Ho Is a hotel keeper. The Ger
mans requisitioned twenty-seven thou - J
saiid bottles of wino from his cellars."!
volunteered one of his audience stand
ing near by.
Of all the Allied soldiers the Bel
gian was the one who appeared to have
tho greatest desire to enter Germany.
His country Is strewn with the wreck
age of former happy homes, perhaps
the very one where the soldier dwelt
is now a heap of ruins. But these
soldier boys display no hatred. Thoy
have not been robbed of their cigars
or their wine. They have merely
risked their lives In rain filled trench
es and bullet swept fields for the past
four years.

New Finnish Leader
Wants Recognition
LONDON, Nov. 21. (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) Gen
eral Mannerheim, the Finnish leader
who has consented to become regent
of the new coalition government if
Finland, and the other supporters of
the government sustained by the
White Guards, are extremely anxious
to have the entente powers and the
United States recognize the now Fin
nish government.
The necessity for such recognition
at once is urged on the ground that
the pcas'ants feel under great obliga
tions to Germany for interfering and
establishing order in Finland and can
not be induced to transfer their alle
giance to the enemies of Germany un-
I Half a Centiiry Ago i
I Hi Half a Century Ago every community could be supplied
to some extent with locally dressed meat, drawing on live IP!
stock raised nearby.
Now two-thirds of the consuming centers; with millions
of people, are one to two thousand miles away from the 1
principal live-stock producing sections, which are sparsely I
settled. I
The American meat packing industry of today is the
development of the best way to perform a national service. 1
The function of providing meat had to develop accord- J
ingly. Those men who first grasped the elements of the t 1
changing problem created the best facilities to meet it
large packing plants and branch houses at strategic I B
points, refrigerating equipment (including cars), car routes, 11
trained organization, profitable outlets for former waste Il
jp which became the natural, inevitable channels for the 1
vast flow of meat across the country. I
I If there were a better way to perform this necessary 1 1
i service, American ingenuity and enterprise would have 1
j discovered it, and others would now be using it. 1

less steps are taken that will con
vince them that the entente powers
have a real interest in Finland's wel
fare. General Mannerheim has been in
.London for soveral days conferring
with A. J. Balfour, British foreign sec
retary. He intends to go to Paris to
discuss the Finnish situation with Col
onel E. M. House and French officials.
He desires also to meet Herbert C.
Hoover, the American food administra
tor and talk over the provisioning of
Finland whose bread supplies are al
most exhausted.
Sweden and Denmark havo consent
ed to let Finland have a limited
amount of grain, but this supply will
not reach Finland iji time to prevent
the suspension of bread rations in the
larger cities of Finland for some time.
According to dispatches received by
General Mannerheim virtually all the
German troops havo now left Finland.
There wore less than two thousand
Germans there a week ago, and as
these have been moving out whenever
ships were available, the general says
Finland is now doubtless entirely free
from German soldiers.
The Russian Reds are threatening
the Finnish border and the political
situation in Finland is so troubled that
a recurrence of the war between reds
and whites which devastated the coun
try last winter is feared unless tho
government is able to obtain adequate
food supplies to relieve the distress
which is now becoming widespread.
Russian political refugees have es
caped into Finland in large numbers.
It would be almost certain death for
many of these if they wero forced to
return to Russia. Consequently the
Finnish government has permitted
them to remain in spite of the short
age of foodstuffs, thus Imposing an
additional tax on Its limited supply of
grain.

General Mannorhelm led the Finnish
White Guards in their fight against tho
Finnish Red Guards and Russian Red
Guards last winter, but retired from
the command the White Guards ac
cepted tho support of German troops.
He was not in sympathy with Ger
many's movement to entrench itself
in Finland, and was summoned back
to Finland from Sweden after it be
came clear thnt Germany must with
draw as a result of its defeat on the
western front.
An olection is to be held next Feb

ment Finland is to have. At present it !
is a consttiutional monarchy, conform- .

governed when a pnrt of Sweden, be- ,
fore it was annexed to Russia It is
really a grand duchy, but as there is
no grand duke to approve Its legisla- :
tlon, and as its laws require such ap-
proval, General Mannerheim will, if 1
ho becomes regent as is now proposed,
act instead of a grand duke, ponding
the establishment of a legal govern-

archy. I
