GREAT MYSTERY OF
 RUSSIAN MAIL CLEARED UP

LONDON, July 1.-The Great Mys. tery of the Russian Mail, which has caused wrinkles in many a forehead in American army headquarters in London, has calumnized, sizzled out ended. But, though the explanation of the whole thing is most annoyingly simply, there's hot sequel.
 Here's the mystery: Great duanti- ties of mail passed through the United States military postal service in Lon- don for the American Expeditionary Force in Archangel, Russia. That mail was all received and acknowledged every sack of it. But for several months not a single sack bound for America came back from Archangel to pass through the military postal express service and the United States base censor.
 It was known that the doughboys were writing their heads off. There is nothing else to do in Archangel in winter. Where did their letters go? ? The question was big one, as the base censor was supposed to study the Russian mail very minutely. A wal or serious disorder is on in Russia and no secrets or adverse information should get out. And the base censor got no mail to scrutinize for several months, although he is busy enough now. ~
 Special boards of inquiry were set up both by the American army and the British army to trace the mail The British were especially anxious to clear up the mystery for fear there might be suspicion that the British censor was grabbing the game. The two boards have been Investigating since March.
 What do you suppose they discov- cred in May?
 The astute Tanks in Archangel leery of an international censorship had sealed up the postal sacks as army mail, tagging them, General Postoffice, New York" So addressed the sacks were dumped off the Brit, ish packets from Russia, were sent flying across England to Liverpool and the letters were being read by the anxious mothers, wives and sweet. hearts in America weeks before the two boards knew what had become of them.
 But not a letter was censored. Ii will be interesting to learn if thers have been any upsetting disclosures.

SLACK DAY
FOR BILLS
IN SENATE
(Continued from PAGE One.)

(COULIuUVU TAS0 Ou0.J
through a motion that the permanent
journal be indexed tOpically.
In committee of the whole, with
Rep. Burl Carr of Barnes as chair
man, the house after considerable de-
bate recommended the passage OF
House Bill 66, making it felony to
possess any still, worm. powder, tab
let or other material used in the
manufacture of intoxicating liquors. or
to have In possession any Intoxicating
loQuor of any type, except sacramento
wine and pure alcohol for scientific
or mechanical uses. Burtness OF
Grand Forks raised constitutional
question against the provision prohib-
iting having possession Of liquor,
which he declared did not square with
the prohibition clause to the ocnstitu.
ton OF North Dakota. He also ques.
toned constitutionality of the clause
giving officers a right to enter and
search suspected premises without
warrant. Sponsors Of the bill declared
1t conferred no new authority with re-
gard to search and entry for the con-
fiscation of intoxicants and that the
purpose of the bill was merely to con.
form with federal acts prohibiting
moonshining or illicit distilling. Rep.
Hardt conducted the most active CAM
paign against the bill which he de-
clared could never be enforced il it
became law.
The house frittered away an entire
afternoon in frivolous discussion OF
Senate Bill Is, Senator Ployhar's wide
sleigh measure. Reishus insisted
that II did not nr0vida a standard
width for sleighs, inasmuch as the
standard for all other vehicles was
four feet, eight inches, while this bill
provided for four feet, six. He de-
clared Wisconsin had passed a similar
bill and then repealed it. Dell Patter.
son said the bill was unconstitutional
because the Comparison Destructive
league was organized and equipped to
operate on narrow gauge basis
Speaker Stair said he didn't approve
of the bill because he didn't fancy 60
ing sleighing with any young woman
in any, sleigh with box wider than
the present standard. Ness attempted
to quote Ford as an authority on
standard widths, and BurtnesS called |
him down for mentioning Big Bust
ness. Paul Johnson of Pembina
finally called the turn when he In
sisted that with a great majority OF
the farmers this is no laughing mat
ter but one for which they have
been seeking serious consideration fol.
the last decade, and when a vote was
taken there was very small dissent
ing minority to the approval Of the
bill.
