ENTENTE ENVOYS HELD
Conflicting Statements As to Fate of Allied Diplomatic Officers In
 Russja-PooIc Awaits Safe Conduct

Amsterdam, Aug. 29.-WhiIe d Moscow dispatch to the Rhenish Westphalian Gazette of Essen states that the Entente diplomatic represen- tatives there have been liberated, latest adVices from the Bolshevik capital, under date of August 26, deny the American and British diplomats there were ever arrested. The dis patch to the Rhenish Westphalian Gazette, however, says members of the Allied military missions at Mos COW still are in custody
 De Witt C. Poole, Jr., the acting American consul general at Moscow, dispatches state, is awaiting a safe conduct from the German government and the conclusion of an arrangement between Russia. and the Entente gov ernments for a reciprocal return of diplomatic and consular officers be- fore departing.
 A Russian wireless message says that War Minister Trotzky denies an alleged American report that the SoVlets intend to arm German and Austro- Hungarian prisoners to fight the Czecho-Slovaks. Trotzky adds that in the Soviet army the only former war prisoners are those who have become Russian citizens.
 The central executive committee of the Soviets, according to the Pravda has decreed the abolition in towns of more than 10000 inhabitants of all private and real property. the value of which exceeds a scale to be fixed by the local SOviets. Mortgages of more than 10000 rubles are an- nulled and the former landlords are placed on the same level as their tenants.

$1,OOO FOR LOCAL RED GROSS
Choral Society Concert Financial as Well as Artistic Success
 Check Passed.

The New Britain Choral society has sent a check of $1,001.49 to the New Britain chapter. American Red Cross, which covers the net receipts of the recent concert given by the society for the benefit of the local Red Cross chapter.
 It is probably the largest sum ever realized by a single charity perform ance in this city and much satisfaction Is taken in the fact that the concert was decidedly a success from a finan- clal as well as an artistic standpoint
 The officers of the Choral society who manager the concert and the members of the chorus who gave their talent at the performance and the time for weeks before selling tickets may well be congratulated upon their suc- cessful contribution to a most worthy cause.

MAN POWER BILL
 ALL IRONED OUT Measure Agreed Upon By Senate and House Con-
 ferees Today.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Minor diff ferences between senate and house conferees on the man power bill were cleared away today and the measure with the senate work or fight" amendment eliminated, was prepared for final congressional action.
 Senator Wadsworth's amendment extending the draft to the navy and marine corps by providing that men may be allotted for those services was retained.
 After Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder had explained that new instructions will provide that draft boards and not registrants must initiate deferred classification claims, the con- ferees struck out the Penrose amend ment directing that registrants be not required to make or refuse to make such claims
 Gen. CroWder explained that the interfere with plans for the new registration by preventing the use of millions of blanks already printed
 The conferees also eliminated today the amendment of Senator France of Maryland, providing for a badge or other insignia for men deferred for industrial or other service.
 A senate provision retained in somewhat changed form removes the restrictions against commissioning and admitting to officers training camps under 21 years of age.

DIR. CHARLES D. TE1NNY NAMED
 DIPLOMATIC SECRETARY

Washington, Aug. 29.-One of the rare cases of departure from the rules governing the appointment of persons to the diomatic service has occurred in connection with the designation of Dr. Charles D. Tenny of Massachu setts to be q. secretary of class one, without submitting to competitive ex- animation. Dr. Tenny has lived in China for 32 years. during which pe- riod he has held many high offices in educational institutions in connection with the Chinese government and in the American consular and diplomatic services.
 The executive order making his ap- pointment states that pr. Tennys long and honOred career in China has given him a wide acquaintance among Chi neSe officials and it is believed that in view of his ability and long standing his appointment as first secretary to the American legation in China will be to the great advantage of the Amer 1can government in that country.
