Skipper Simon Lake is about to turn Davy Jones out of his locker and set him to policing up the bottom of the ocean. The Argosy. mother ship, and the Argonaut, 3d. salvager, being designed and equipped to salvage wrecks now dank and green with bar nacles and seamosses. will do lot to rescue dollars from the deep sea octo- pus and may even clear up forever the hotly disputed question as to whether the Lusitania really carried muni- tiens.
 While the bones of Sir Ralph the Rover and Kirby the Black Death are quaking in the fear that at last the sea must give up it's dead treasure, the Lake undersea salvagers are already planning to yank to pieces the sub- merged hulk of the famous Hussar now lying somewhere on the bottom o1 over with at least $2,000.0Oo in gold. to pay off his Hessians in the good old days of the Revolution The Hess1ans weren't paid, for the Hussar found cred.
 Another wreck in New York harbor that may interest the Argonaut Sd is the Port Phillip, now lying in the channel of the Lower Bay. The Bort Phillip, loaded with s1 1.Ooo.O 900 worth of munitions, got in the way of collier and sank. Her masts still stick up camouf1aged- Her funnel was carried away by a tug which wandered over her hurricane deck. The skipper of one of the barbor tugs figured it would be sporty proposition. the salvaging of big shells and air bombs under the tops of the bay.
 While the Serantes. the hulk that lies on her side just off the Bay Ridge ferry landing is already being broken up for junk. nevertheless there is still s1.000 in gold which one of the crew left in a bag of concrete in the depths of the hold. The Serantes burned a month in the harbor before she was scuttled to protect shipping. Of course s1 900 isn't much compared to $2.00o, 900. but some Saturday after noon perhaps the Argonaut III may take a stroll on the floor of the har bor and stumble over the most valu able bag of concrete in the world.

If the present demands Of the rail- road brotherhoods involved merely the formulation of a railroad policy they would be serious enough; but they are more far reaching than that They mean nothing less than govern ment by sfltirnatum in the interest of any class that is large enough and can exert pressure enough to enforce its demands.

ZONES.


 Out in Omaha they have a judge who attempts to chart the danger zones of married life, speaking. it is presumed, largely from observation. How much personal experience en- ters into his deductions does not ap- pear.
 The matrimonial bark is first likely to run ashore on the shoals of do- mestic infehcity within two or three years after bride and groom promised to live happy ever after. Weathering this danger spot, the next period comes thirteen or fourteen years after mar riage. and if that time is safely passed without recourse to the divorce court. there is yet third danger pe- riod ahead in twenty five or twenty six years after the marriage vows were spoken.
 If it were not that human nature constantly fouts the hard and fast rules laid down for it. the Omaha's s iudg ge's deductions might be of con- siderable value. It is something. how ever, to have warning given of the times when domestic discontent is most likely to send the ma trimonial bark to shipwreck.
 If he can chart out course by which married couples can steer in these perilous times so as to avoid the rough water and treacherous cur rents. ne will rob the divorce courts of a lot of business.

AN EYE ON MEXICO.

Temporarily at least. Mexico and the border troubles have dropped out of the public eye, but not from the watchfu1 eye of the army
 Colonel Arnold, aeronautical officer announces that the Mexican border will be patroiled daily from the Gulf to the Pacific by aeroplanes. Despite the protestations of the Mexican gov ernment, it is evidently considered no time to relax the border patrol which we have conducted for years.
 For many years maintenance of this border patrol against our troubled southern neighbor has been one of the schools of the soldiers where Ameri- can army men found practice in ap- proximate war conditions. If our air men are down there now merely for exercise the border patrol is again serving it's purpose as training ground, and in any event these "eyes of the army will be a better protec- ton than ever against sudden bandit raids that nave more than once in tensified the Mexican situation near 1y to the breaking point.

PiIIaae in Smyrna.

Correspondence of The Associated Press)-The Greek Army of Occupa- tion which landed at Smyrna few months ago murdered and pilIaged the Turks, according to a letter published by Marmaduke PickthaIl, we'll known writer of eastern affairs The writer of the letter was described by MT. Pickthalr as the reliable corre- spondept but his identity was not disclosed.
 The writer asserts that when the Greek army landed at Smyrna. Turk ish troops had been ordered by the barracks and that they did so: but that the Greeks broke into places where Turkish officers were collected and shot down all who would not shout Long live Venizelos." Many were thus shot down, according to the writer. The writer adds:
 The governor Of Smyrna was dragged along the wharf and carried aboard Creek ship. His wife was wounded and his house footed The in the face and thrown into hold of the Greek cattle ship among the ami mals. The senior doctor of the Turk ish army corps was murdered and his body mutilated. Fingers of Turk ish women and men who wore rings were cut off wholesale. Houses were footed. women robbed of all their jewels.
 This was supposed to be an abso- lute1y peaceful oecpPa tion in the ia- terests of law and order. Greece had not even been at war with Turkey. In no case did the Turks show fight un- til they were attacked by the Greek Tine civilian Greeks joined with the der and piiiage.

The atmosphere was charged with felt on any battle front conta- giouS fear like that which prevails when an army is in route spread even to foreigners whose persons were comparatively safe from arrest ow- ing to the wishes of Bella Kun, the communist leader and other minis ters to save themselves from tn gallows when the grand collapse should come.

 When the correspondent of The As Sociated Press had occas sion to ex- plain his nationality the listener, whether Red Guard. peasant, or civ ilian, remarked with envy: What a fortunate man you are. to be an American"
 He would invariably ask whether it would be possible to reach America and whether foreigners, former enc mics, would be permitted to land on her shores. Peasants, who refused to f..,-y ,se-1, cities because they are hostile to communism and want shoes and clothes more than paper money, of which they have plenty, gladly enough sold meals and supplies to the cor respondent on the strength of his American nationality.
 The city of Budapest which a few weeks ago had plentiful supply of eggs-peeple almost lived upon them and potatoes-is now without eggs. because of the obstinacy of the peas ants. great many of the stores were closed for lack of goods to sell. or because they have been requisitioned by the Soviet.

 '1f anyone wants te be convinced of the futility of remaking the world in single day with pet theories he should now visit Hungary" was the remark made by an American naval officer. It is estimated that half a million of Hupgary's best citizens have been obliged to flee from their hemes and wander across the iron tiers to strange lands.

Eaeie Boats In the White Sea.

Correspondence of the Associated Press)-American Eagle boats now are operating on dispatch service in North Russian waters.
 Eagle Boats Nos. 1, and 3, the first built of this type for the Amer ican government, arrived in Archangel after 6.200 mile run under their own steam from the Atlantic seaboard and according to thier officers, have more than made good.
 Crews of the larger naval vessels are inclined to chaff the Eagle Boat men and call these craft the 4tin lizzies' of the navy, but the officers of the Eagles are proud of their sea worthiness and efficiency.
 The Associated Press correspondent has just made a trip from Archangel to Rem, across the White Sea aboard the flagship of the little fotilla, and in this 16-hour run, in stormy weath- CT, the flagship and the No. 1 had ample opportunity to show their sea wOrtlineSS.

 Two hours out of Archangel. how ever, at the enrance to the White Sea, the Eagles ran into a cold gale and snowstorm which set the light craf tossing and rolling and forced the crews quickly into their woolens and oilskins However, the Eagles Kept ploughing along to their course. and arrived in Rem harbor none the worse for one of the worst batterings they have yet received.
