U.S.. AMBASSADOR
FRANCIS FLAYS
BOLSHEV|K GANG
UNMASKS THE SKULKING
PRO-GERMAN CROWD IN
VIGOROUS LETTER

Vologda, Russia, Thursday, July
Is (Delayed) - The reason for
American Ambassador Francis and
the other allied diplomats leaving
Vologda for Archangel today was
their refusal to comply with insist
ent demands of the bolsheviki for
eign office that they move to Mos
COW.
M. Tchtcherin, the foreign min
ister, telegraphed several times to
Ambassador Francis that Vologda
was not safe place for the embas
sy. He also sent Carl Radek, assist
ant foreign minister, to confer with
the diplomats.
Ambassador Francis and his col
leagues declined to go to Moscow
Tchtcherin telegraphed that Arch
angel was not fit place for the am
bassadors in case of siege, but was
willing to grant train on condi-
tion that the embassies leave Rus
sia as soon as ship could be pro-
vided. The allied diplomats accepted.
In a final message to the Russian
foreign minister, Ambassador Fran
els said he had no desire to leave
Russia unless forced to do SO and
in any event his absence would be
only temporary. The consuls of the
allied countries, he said would re-
main in Russia.
Tchtcherin said the departure Of
the ambassador would not alter in
the slightest the relations of soviet
Russian with the allied countries.
Final Message
The final message sent to Tchit-
cherin by Ambassador Francis, as
dean of the diplomatic corps, re-
viewed the correspondence that led
to the decision of the ambassadors
to go to Archangel, and continued:
Your message expressing friend
" feelings for the people | repre-
sent and the desire on your part TO
maintain relations with them, is ap-
preciated, but you will permit me
to say that your treatment of me
as their representative does not ac-
cord with such expressions. While |
have refrained from interfering in
the internal sffairs of Russia, | have
considered the Russian people still
were our allies, and have more than
once appealed to them to unite with
us in resisting the common enemy.
| have, furthermore, recommended
to my government many times to
send food to relieve the sufferings OF
the Russian people and to ship agri-
cultural implements.

Washington on July 10 and re-

ELECTION RESULTS

Up to Saturday nigth 40 coun-
ties of the II in Oklahoma had
made complete returns on the pri-
mary to the state election board.
Taking the time consumed thus
far, it is safe to assume that the
full returns for the state will be
in by the end of this week and it
is also anticipated that there will
be no change in the indicated re-
suit up to this time. The entire

bassy from Moscow to Pskov be-
cause he fears for the personal safe

GREAT LAKES WILL GROW
NOT STOP AT WAR CLOSE

GREAT LAKES. ILL.,. Nov. S.
Whether the war ends or not, Great
Lakes will not grow smaller, either
in area or personnel. 1t is planned
to make the station even larger thar
1t is at present, with the expectation
that there will be more than $4,000
men here throughout this winter.
This announcement came tonight
from Capt. William A. Moffett,
commandant, to set at rest rumors
concerning the future OF Great Lakes
and it's men since indications became
apparent that tho wars end was at
hand.
Americas newly-acquired and
ever-growing merchant marine and
the consequent need OF this coun-
try for expansion OF tho navy will
be the chief reason for the con-
tinued development Of Great Lakes
and at least two other large naval
training stations, It was explained
by Captain Moffett These two sis
ter stations are Newport and Hamp-
ton Roads, which, according to a re-
cent statement Of Secretary Daniels,
are to be developed and expanded
together with Great Lakes.

TAX REFORM LAWS
WORK IN CANADA
League Program Demanding Tax
Exemptions Found Practical
in Other Places.

In reaffirming the demand for the
exemption of farm improvements
from taxation, the Minnesota conyen-
tion of the National Nonpartisan
League drew a short line between
ore who farm and those who mere
ly hold the land for speculative prof
its. When this becomes a law, lhe far
mer who improves his land by drain
Ing, clearing, building and fertilizing
will pay no more taxes than the own
er of similar land who allows his land
to lie idle. Consequently the real farm
ers will pay relatively less taxes and
the land spectators more.
Plan Practiced lin Canada.
The plan is not so much theory as
It is good business sense for the
farm operator and the state. BY en-
c%ouraging improvement and discour-
aging speculation in land. the state
builds up it's wealth. Through this
method the provinces of Saskatche-
wan and Alberta in Canada have
drawn thousands of farmers from this
country to their %unoccupied land. BY
putting the taxes on the land they
have forced the spectators to sell
and have given the land users land
at low value and low taxation.
Government irrigation projects in
California have Aeen made success
full by the same method-the man
who buys a piece of this irrigated
land and does not use 1T has to pay
Just as much water tax as the mar
who makes improvements.
The farmers government in North
Dakota reduced the assessment OF
farm improvements from 80 to s pei
cent in 1917 and except for con.
s%titutional limitation improvements
would have exempted entirely.
