United States of Russia
Antoine Volkoff, Russian consul
general, with jurisdiction over 12
states, including Nebraska is in the
city making a survev with a view
to urging the establishment of night
schools to teach American history,
longuage and government, to form
er subjects of Russia, now resident
here.
"I am the representative of the
only Russian government there is
which is now, temporarily, deposed
by Lenine and Trotzky. When the
czar was deposed I held my author
ity frotn.the Kerensky government,
which is what I now hold. I hope1
and believe that out of the present
anarchy in Russia will come a
great republic, the United States of
Russia.
"When Lenine and Trotzky find
their present position untenable
they will disappear some day with
all the cash they can lay their hands
on. Then the path will be open
to establish a republic in Russia
wifh real freedom."
Mr. Volkoff says that after the
war the Russians will buy from the
United States most of the things
they formerly bought from Ger
many. "They will have nothing to
do with Germany," he says,- "real
izing how the Germans have tricked
and humiliated them."

Plenty of shoes for little children
who would otherwise have to stay
out of school for lack of footwear
will be, assured if the contributions
to The Bee's Shoe Fund keep up as
well as they have begun.
"It is the most worthy local
charity to which we have had an op
portunity to contribute for long
time," said one Omaha woman.
"I am glad to see The Bee taking
up this much needed branch of re
lief work," said another, well known
to many she has helped.
"We are heartily in sympathy with
the shoe fund," said Miss Belle
Ryan, assistant superintendent of
the schools.
These are only a few of the
"golden opinions" on the undertak
ing. Every cent of the fund col
lected by The Bee for this purpose
goes to buy shoes for shoeless chil
dien. The shoes will be purchased
by a committee of teachers from the
public schools. Not a cent goes for
administration.
