troops were engaged in "traterniz- ing,' and hundreds of Bolsheviks daily visited the aerodrome. Porten arranged with the Bolsheviks to siege the aerodrome at @ time when there were few German troops to defend the place, and when Por- ten himself, with others of his ac- compHces in the plot were testing machines.
 Ten large Gothas were in the air when the Bo1sheviks ''seized" the aerodrome. They found motor loRr ries laden with valuable parts" and equipment, and these they drove to their own lines. Of the ten Gothas, only two returned to the Kovno aerodrome, and one of these was pill oted by Porten, who, to avoid any suspicion, returned and pretended to be grave1y concerned. He wired i'm medi8tely to the headquarters of the Division, reporting the occurrence, and was in the act of writing out his
 report when a number of Russians appeared on the scene to carry away more of the spoil" With them this time they took Porten, his seizure
 being part and parcel of the plot. Arrested.
 But already the news of the offic- CTS double dealAag had reached the
 ears of the authorities, and a strong force was despatched to head off the
 BolsheViks as they returned to their own lines with the stolen motor lor- rtes. The Russians were surround ed by German soldiers, all we'll arm ed. Porten was found sitting with one of the Bolshevik soldiers in the back of a lorry smoking a cigarette.
 He was arrested and taken back to kovno where he was put in prison pending his being taken to Berlin. Porten during the ten days that he remained in the little prison at Kovno used his wits to some purpose. His gaoler was a, sergeant of a Saxon ine regiment and to this man Port en offered a large bribe for his lib erty.
 But what of me? I should be
 shot if I allowed you to go,'' pro- tested the sergeant.
 ''Why not go with me and share
 my noney?" asked Porten.
 The sergeant fell an easy victim. Escape from Prison. 1 Porten, with his gaoler, walked out of the prison towards near full of soldiers. The sergeant had

DECLARE PORTO RICO NOT READY FOR INDEPENDENCE E

San Juan, Porto Rico, May - Correspondence of The Associated Press)-That Porto Rico is not pre- pared for either statehood or inde- pendence was the opinion expressed by Senators Barbosa and Giorgetti in the course of a debate In the Senate recently. Senator Barbosa said also that the island is unprepared for immediate self f-ogevrenment.
 The debate was opened, by an invi- tation of Senator Giorgetti to Senator Barbosa to dissolve both political parties in the island.
 T invite pr. Barbosa to dissolve the Republican party" said Senator Giorgetti, "and I will do all I can to dissolve the Unionist party because we are wasting time. It must be un- derstood that both statehood and in dependence are 8 long way off. Do you think we are prepared for either statehood or independence" he ask ed.
 We are not" replied Dr. Barbosa. "A country which has the number of illiterates Porto Rico has, whose masses are without means of educa- tion and whose economic condition is deplorab1e, is not prepared to be either a, republic or a state. We have to prepare our country and provide the means for its being politically, economically and educationally in a condition to enjoy it's sovereignty We are in the position today of a stu dent of medicine who has had two years of his course, who is diIigent and ambitious and who wants to graduate as soon as he can. but whose professor has to say, continue your studies. you are not yet ready; when you get in your fourth or fifth years your labor will be rewarded Gentlemen, you know perfectly we'll that we are not economically pre- pared to be either a state or a repub- Ic."

labor federation has issued a protest and a committee will meet tonight to consider what steps will be taken as a result of the disorders. The man aging committee of the Socialist party and the Socialist group of the cham Der of deputies will also meet.
 Deputy Marcel Cachin, writing in 'Humanite," claims the day was a magnificent demonstration of the power and discipline of the laboring classes and was marred only by the brutality of the ferocious police" He emphasizes the fact that the soldiers used no violence and that there was no trouble where they were on duty.
 "The responsibility for the disor- ders was entirely due to provocation by the police who were acting on or ders from Premier Clemenceau. He alone is responsible" M. Cachin says.
 He recommends that the premier read his own magnificent speech in the chamber of deputies in 1891 con demning an exactly similar action by the ministry then in power.'
 Fine United Trades Union of the de- partment of the Seine has issued a strong protest against the violent action of the police, exercisad by or der of the government, against a manifestation which would otherwise have been carried out with the same order as the morning meetfngs.'
 Declaring that many women were among the victine, the union has de- cided to call a. meeting of the general council of the organization tonight to consider the attitude 1t will adopt in view of the days events.
