he had received an amount Of money
sufficient to establish a bureau and to
carry on the preliminary work for OBJ
tanning the recognition of his gov
eminent.
Now, what is more important than
any other part of Martens's announce
ment was the fact that he stated that
$2oo,ooo,ooo had been placed aside in
Moscow to be shipped to the United
States for the payment of purchases
made as soon as permission to trade
with the United States could be OBJ
tanned. For Russia at that time as
we'll as the present time is surrounded
by an Allied blockade.
Martens announced that he had sent
these credentials to the State Depart-
ment After a great deal of wordy
talk and correspondence it was learned
definitely that the credentials were
never acknowledged.
In due time Martens opened his Of
fees, established commercial. depart
ment, and began the placing of tenta-
tive contracts. Thus for short
period the Soviet bureau proceeded
merrily to obtain business, and all was
well-temporarily.
1t was curious state of affairs. In
Siberia American forces were battling
with the Bolsheviki and in New York
City. American business forces we're
discussing business with representa-
tives of the Bolsheviki. To few
Americans this seemed somewhat il
logical If not Objectionable, and they
asked the government about it. It fell
to Frank Polk, Acting Secretary OF
State, to make an answer.
In an official statement that he is
sued he said very pointedly that Mar
tens had not been recognized, and that
the State Department advised Ameri-
can business to go slow and to be very
cautious in their dealings with him or
members of his bureau. l was sent
: to see Martins to find out whether the
announcement has had any effect on
the bureaus business and was referred
to A. A. Heller, the commercial at
tache of the bureau. Heller's office
was on the floor above. The Soviet
bureau has two suites of offices on
separate floors of the same building.
The typewriting machines were busily
clicking as ! made my way to an in
formation desk and told young wom-
an what l wanted. Heller's office I
could see as I waited to see him. had
a I'VE mean business" air about it
that was unmistakable. In short
time l was taken to Heller's desk and
was told by him that he had been
informed already by Martens as to the
nature Of my business.
Heller, as have since learned. is an
American citizen, attended Harvard
University, was in the jewelry business
in Paris for number Of years, and
is the founder of the international
Oxygen Company, in New Jersey. He
is seemingly of quiet nature and is
not laxative. also understand that
ne is very wealthy. His appearance is
distinctly American.
At that time Heller told me that
Folks announcement had had no an
parent effect on the bureaus business.
and that he was willing to give me the
names Of some of the business firms
with which the bureau was negotiating
for business. He gave me the names
OF about six and went to see all Of
them.

raphers--and he is rarely seen out of
his private office.
The chancellor, or chief clerk, Greg
DRY Welnstein, is certainly not quiet
man. He may be heard all over the
Offices. He was born in Wilma, Russia,
in 1880, and was graduated from the
Teachers Institute in that country.
I'VE went to JAIL" is the laconic way he
put it, "for revolutionary activities.
LET me see," he said, ref1ectively.
"The last time l went to Jail was when
| was sent to Siberia in 1906" He es-
capped from Siberia the same wear and
went to Switzerland in 1906. He was
graduated from the University Of Gene
va IN 1911 as master of law and as mas
ter of social science. He came to the
United States in 1913, and acted as the
editor of "Novy Mir" the local Russian
Socialist daily, the rest of the time. It
was on this paper that Leon Trotxkv
acted rs associate editor.
Weinstein is in charge of the "helu"
and manages the outer offices. He is Of
an extremely belligerent nature and
easily excited He doesn't like re-
porters and always greets them coldlv.
10 him they are pests to be borne with
patience.
The most picturesque figure of all
is Isaac Hourwich, the counsellor of the
bureau. He was born in Russia and is
a graduate of Petrograd University.
ne was professor of economics at Chi
cago University and received degree
of Doctor of Philosophy from Columbia
University. He was connected with the
Department Of Labor as chief statist;.
clan, and is considered an authority on
immigration, having written q book on
mat subject which is used universally
in most of the colleges in the country.
ne IS also one of the most popular
figures on the Jewish East Side.
When 1 entered his Office he was
seated in shirt sleeves and busilv at
work. | spoke with him for a time
about his work, which is the accumu-
latlon of statistics about Russia and
American business, until finally he told
me that he was busy and was very
anxious to continue, saying, "You see,
even if I do work for the Bolsheviki I
am wage slave just the same" A
truly jovial and frank figure.
AS l was departing I saw Nuorteva
again for a moment and asked him
whether the bureau had succeeded in
placing many contracts, and his replv
was that it had. He made plain, how
ever, that these contracts were tenta-
tive and dependent upon the lifting of
the blockade. 1.-THE whole development
OF the Russian revolution" he declared.
depends upon the establishment of
trade relations with the rest of the
world. There. has been absolutely no
camouflage about it. We have been
ready and still are ready the very
minute the blockade will be lifted to
buy American goods for hundreds If
millions of dollars and to pay for them
in cash.
"The American public" he concluded
with emphasis, must realize that in
the establishment of trade relations
with Soviet Russia is the only possible
way OF establishing trade with Russia
Kolchak's rule is in territory tho
population Of which is very small and
unable to absorb the products, and it is
a fact that there is more chaos and d;s.
ruption in his territory than there Is
in any other part Of Russia. The rec
ognition Of Kolchak would mean the

ence in American affairs is intended
by means of this propaganda. What
ne could not understand, said Nuor-
teva, was the objection to the presence
of the Soviet bureau when similar
bureaus in this country are not mo-
Tested.
AT the present time" said Nuorteya
America is being confronted over and
over again with the spectacle of off
cial representatives of some govern
ment actually in power in Europe, but
which so far have not been RECOGNIZED
abroad. This is really nothing new
There has always been even in peace
time this kind of problem.
at is perfectly natural thing. There
is no reason why the representatives
of the Soviet government, who repre-
sent government which has been in
power for year and half controlling
larger territory than any other gov
eminent aspiring to recognition has
ever controlled, should be kept from
! presenting their case to the American
people while the representatives of any
other group or any other nation are
not only allowed to carry on a propa-
ganda for the recognition of their
government, but have been allowed to
collect funds in America for the pur-
pose of getting recognition"
"But what about Kofchak?" I inter-
jected. Hasn't he been recognized
conditionally by the Allied govern
ments ?"
ut will take perhaps two months"
said Nuorteva, with a confident laugh,
"for the Allies to realize that anv
policy based on the support of Kolchak
is bound to fail. The realization of this
will make them inclined finally to con-
slider seriously the possibility of rela-
tions with Soviet Russia, and thew will
find that Russia is ready under the rule
OF the Soviets to maintain reasonable
relations with the rest of the world 4"
well, since you admit that you are
carrying on campaign of propaganda
for the recognition of Soviet Russia :"
l said, what form would you have
such recognition take?"
The propaganda conducted by the
Russian Soviet Government Bureau. :"
replied Nuorteva slowly, "has had as
its only object the establishment Of
trade relations between Soviet Russia
and the United States. We are not 81
much concerned with political recopni-
ton"
The interview thus far had not been
conducted with felicity, for Nuorteva
was being constantly INTERRUPTED nv
callers and telephone calls, and was
away to write an editorial for "Soviet
Russia" which the Martens bureau il
now issuing.
In consequence, during the lull in
our interview, called on Mr.. Martens
or rather Comrade Martens, as the tele-
phone operator calls him; or, if YOU
know Russian, the word is "Tovarisch."
1t is not necessary to repeat the. life
history of Martens, for of recent date
it has been done frequently. He is an
extremely quiet man, one might even
call him shy. he rarely sees reporters.
although he speaks English quite
huently. We spoke about the raid and
the only comment that he had to make
was that it was all mistake" His
work is principally upervision-Bol-

Claims Philadelphia Land.

The city of Philadelphia has been
reminded, in an unexpected fashion, OF
its association with William Penn. He
reserved for the Indians two small
pieces Of land where they might come
in peace and build their council fires.
One of them, a patch of S5 feet by lOO,
under the shadow of the towering Ritz
Carlton hotel, is now covered with
asphalt. The other is used as a stor-
age and dumping ground for odds and
ends. There has appeared an Indian
princess named No-toh-tha - which
means, in the Seneca language, Never
contented"-claiming these reserva-
tions for the use Of her people. she
has filed her application with the In
dian Rights association, and intends, II
necessary, to invoke the aid of the Six
Nations Of New York.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-Presiden-
tial possibilities were beginning to
come to the fore in Washington to-
day.
In the national capital the men
most widely discussed for the demo-
cratic nomination today are A. Mitch
ell Palmer, Attorney General of the
United States, and W. G. McAdoo,
former secretary of the treasury.
President Wilson not only will not
be a candidate for third term, ac-
cording to all indications, but he will
not enter the campaign even to the
extent of giving his backing to one
of the aspirants. He will keep
"hands off" and will not consider 60
ing to the stump in behalf of any one.

TELLS OF ATOMIC ENERGY
Sir oliver Lodge, English Scientist,
Says It Is Used in Wire
less Telephone.

Birmingham, Eng.-Sir oliver Lodge
In an address at the Midland institute
on the occasion of the one hundredth
anniversary of the death Of James
Watt, inventor of the condensing
steam engine, touched upon the SUBJ
ject of atomic energy Of matter.
He said that the first utilization OF
this force was in wireless telegraphy'
II the atomic energy of an ounce OF
matter could be utilized it would be
sufficient to raise the German ships
sunk in the Scapa Flow and pile them
on top of the Scottish mountains.
He hoped, he said, the human race
would not discover how to use this en-
ergy until it had brains and morality
enough to use it properly, because II
the discovery were made before its
time and by the wrong people this
planet would be unsafe.
