RUSSIAN POLICY
IS EXPLAINED BY
u. S. OFFICIAL

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The Rus
sian Bolshevil<i have awaited them
selves of every opportunity to initi-
ate in the United States a propagan
da aimed to bring about the forcible
overthrow of our present form Of
government" Chairman WadsWorth,
of the senate military committee
has been informed by Assistant Sec
rotary Phillips, in a letter made pub
lie today at the state department.
The Bolshevilki, Mr.. Phillips said
have at their disposal large quanti-
ties of gold, partly revenue of the
former Russian government and part
ly a reserve belonging to the Ru-
manian government, and it is consid-
cred important not to give them
means through commercial transac-
tons to bring this gold into the
United States, where it could be used
to sustain their propaganda of "vio-
.lence and unreason."
Mr.. Phillips said that while there
was no blockade of PetrogradS SO
far as the United States owas con-
cerned, no licenses for the shipment
of goods to Bolshevik Russia were
being issued. This policy of non
interference, he added, could not be
continued after the proclamation of
peace without additional legislation.
A further reason for the adoption
of this policy, Mr.. Phillips wrote,
was the program of the Bolsheviki
to so manipulate the food supply as
to bring about the extinction of the
middle classes.
"It has seemed altogether mad
missible," said Mr.. Phillips, that
food and other necessities of Ameri-
can origin should be allowed to be-
come the means Of sustaining such
a program of political oppression"
Not unmindful of the distress of
many innocent people within the Boil
shevik lines as the result Of the in
ability to import food from Amer
lea, Mr.. Phillips continued, still was
seeking a solution of the problem OF
relieving these people.
Meantime, he said, provision, has
been made for the immediate relief
of the people in areas freed by cur
rent military operation from Boil
shevik control. Moreover, stores of
food estimated to be adequate for
the relief of Petrograd for nearly
one month have been delivered at
Viborg, Finland, by the American re-
lief administration, and definite ar
rangements have been made with the
United States Grain corporation to
provide further shipments of flour
for this region in the event of it's
liberation and for the people in the
north of Russia, which is under the
control of anti-Bolshevik forces.

No Strikes or Other
Discomforts Reported
In This Tiny Republic

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Direct from
4 paradise-where since the year BAL
there have been no politics, strikes,
profteering, drunkenness or, disorder
and but one violent death-came two
men to New York today. They jour-
neyed from Andorra, the 'oldest and
smallest republic in the world The
steamship Catalina, from Barcelona,
Spain, brought them.
It costs Andorra $500 a year to
maintain it's independence and peace
from outside interference, they said.
This money is paid in tribute equal
ly divided between France and Spain,
it's neighbors. Charlemagne gave the
territory it's freedom and it has been
maintained uninterrupted to date. -
Fisk Warren and Joseph Alemany,
trustees of the single tax colony of
Saint Jordi, were the two arrivals
from Andorra. They are on their
way to Fair Hope, Ala, near Mobile,
to attend the celebration of it's 25th
anniversary as the oldest and larg-
est single tax community in the
world.
Andorra, they said, pays its presi-
dent SIG a year, and it's twenty four
members of parliament S. each. The
country is IT'S miles in extent. Its
population is 5000.
''There is no internal strife in An
dorra," Mr.. Warren declared, "be-
cause the people know each other
so we'll that irresponsible persons
never can hope to fool any part of
them any part of the time and ever
hold office. There are no newspapers.
A large percentage of the people are
illiterate, but intelligent"
Mr.. Warren and Mr.. Alemany will
go first to Harvard, Mass, where the
former founded a single tax colony.

SIS Fine on Women Who
Smoke Publicly in Cincinnati

Deputy Sheriff kehl Daniels, of
Kenton county, Ohio, means what
he says when he tells a woman that
she cannot smoke in public in his
county.
A few days ago a Cincinnati wom-
an motored out to one of the road
houses, and while seated at the
table calmly lit a cigarette and be-
gan to puff away.
You cannot do that in here" the
deputy sheriff warned her.
'All right she answered, and
tossed the offending cigarette into
the cuspidor.
The deputy went on out, and re-
turned a few minutes later to find
the woman smoking another Gig
arctic. AS he started towards her
she told him that he need not both
er to admonish her again as she
was just going.
You certainly are" he retorted
with me to the police station. And
she did and was fined IS.

band will divorce her"
That was the other mans story.
And this is how the women jur-
ors' understood:

The women who understood

The judge sentenced wife an6

But first he asked the husband
if he would take his wife back.
Sure I will" the husband ex,

@4Will you. go back to your hus.

asked the wife.
"Never!"' she said.

Germans in Tonga Stir
Natives Against British

SYDNEY, Australia. Anti-Brit-
ish demonstrations and actions by
Germans in the little Pacific kingdom
of Tonga have aroused a feeling that
all the Germans in the group should
be deported. Recently the British
representative at Vavau was insult
ed and assaulted by a German, and
an appeal to the local police for re-
dress was futile. By supplying
liquor to the natives and advancing
credit to them the Germans, it is
said, have won the support of most
of the native chiefs.
The British in Vavau have petit
toned the New Zealand government
for the deportation Of the German
who assaulted their representative
and of all other Germans in the arch
ipelago. Tonga is the last Pacific is
land kingdom, but it is also British
protectorate. Before the war Ger
mans were quite active there.
