ALL-RUSS|ANS ASK
 AMERICANS ID HALT
Desire to Preserve Existing Friendly Relations Given as Reason
Bv Associated Press

Omsk, Wednesday, May 14.-The all- Russian government here through M. Soukine, the acting foreign minister, has requested Major General Graves Ameri- can commander in Siberia, not to send American troops farther into the interior of Siberia than they are at present. The request was framed in the most friendly terms The reason given was the desire to preserve the existing friendly rela- tions with America, which, in view of the American governments undefined stand on bolshevism, might otherwise be jeo- pardized.
 "The attitude of the Washington govern ment," Secretary Soukine explained. 'is being used by certnin political groups to create discord among the Russian peo- pie and thus weaken the government Up to this time the results of such eff forts has been confined to the far east and constitute an entirely local situation which, as much as we deplore it, we cannot help. We did not wish the conta- zion to spread nearer the seat of the government and therefore made the re- quest.
 Tt ought to be said once more that every Russian is concerning himself with the question of the attitude of Americans toward boshevism and it is the most democratic element Of the people here who are opposed to the troops advancing further
 Tn this connection, M. Soukine added, a certain government is seeking to con- vince the Russians that Great Britain and the United States are so under the influence of bolshevism that the wisest course for the Omsk government would be to ally itself with an imperalistic nation which stands rock-like against

PUT REDS ON A SHIP OF STONE WITH HELL
 FOR PORT, HE URGES
By Asaeciafed Press

New York, May 1s.--Every bolshe- vist and radical in the United States should be deported on "a ship of stone. with sails of lead, the wrath of God for a gale and he'll for the nearest port" the Rev. pr. John Wesley Hill. chancellor of Lincoln Memorial uni- versity, Cumberland Gap. Tenn, de- c1ared in an address here tonight.
 Speaking at a American rally under the auspices of the American Defense society, pr. Hill urged that there be no hesitation in dealing with radicals who oppose the American gov ernment system.
 This congIomeration of the zoolosi cal instincts of anarchy, socialism and I. w. W.-ism, with no God on it's ban- ner, no patriotism in it's political creed, defying all restraints of law, armed with torch and bomb, is already within our gates,' he declared.
 'Ccwardice is criminal in the face of such growing peril. Would to God we could arrest and deport every man and woman in the United States who loves the red flag, the black flag or any oth- CT flag more than the Stars and Stripes"

 Drive Next Autumn
By Assoc,a1nu rrrss

 Washington, May 1S.-The Americar, Red Cross will make an appeal next autumn to the American people for funds to carry on its work. In making this announcement tonight, Dr. Livingston Farrand, chairman of the central com. mittee of the Red Cross, said:
 Appalling conditions in the countries of eastern Europe, imposing on tht American Red Cross obligations addi. tional to those assumed during the pc. riod of the world war, and the continu. ance of activities in connection with tho already outlined domestic programme oi the Red Cross, make necessary an ap. peal to the people of America for further funds to carry on the work for the relief of humanity.
 "It has been decided to make this ap. peal in the autumn, in period Of two weeks, eliminating on November Il, the anniversary of the signing of the armii stice-a season when the American peo. ple may properly give manifestation through contributions to their Red Cross of their thankfuness for deliverance from added horrors of war which have fallen upon nations less fortunate"

MOST HAZARDOUS AIRPLANE FLIGHT
 IN HISTORY BEGUN
 BY HARRY HAWKER
Continued from Page One)

(COntnued rom fHSe Onet The plane was then given a final inspec- tion
 At 5:51 Greenwich time, the Sopwith was ready At 5;55 sharp, Hawker gave the word and the ground crew ''let go. The little plane jerked forward, then moved steadily over the uneven ground
 Hawker gathered speed rapidly as he bowled over the turf, rocking heavily At POO yards he was going farily well, but swaying badly. A hummock lifted him at 300 yards, and with last lurch the Sopwith took the air.
 From that instant it "set sail'' directly northeast, winging higher and higher When the undercarriage was dropped the little group of spectators cried outs
 SHE'S OFFv
 She's off"
 Raynham at Quidvidi heard the roar of the Sopwith engine as the plane rose we'll into the air. He ordered the Martin syde made ready at once and went into hasty consultation with his navigator.
 Within an hour the Martinsyde was taxiiing for a start, with Raynham al the control, pumping heavily and rocking from side to side over the rough ground Suddenly rear axle buckled and the machine crashed on it's side, ploughins into the earth. Raynham and Morgan were lifted out of the wreckage stream ing with blood.
 Too heavy a carriage was said to have caused the collapse of the Martinsyde' undercarriage. It was trying to carry 36S gallons of gasoline.
 Hawker and Grieve, in their eleventh hour effort to wrest transatlantic flight honors from the United States maya planes, are flying over a course all theil own, figured out last night and this morning with the one object in mind, o1 ''how to head off the Americans
 As soon as they had finished break fast this morning Hawker and Grieve hurried to the offices of the Royal Air Force meteorological bureau Finding conditions improved a little, but not as favorable as they would have demanded had not the Americans been well started on their passage, they went direct to the Mount Pearl plateau, where the Sop with was waiting in the airdrome, and began preparation for the flight They were wholly calm at the start | Methodically and without the slightes 1 trace of nervousness, they climbed aboard their small craft and set to work l dspassionately. Hawkers confidence ir l his navigator and in his engine were ab- solute, he said, quietly.

If one will further stop to think that there are perhaps more than 40 wells right at the top of the sand Wait ing for instructions to the drillsr to be- gin to bring them in; if he viii notice the pipe lines being laid and the tanks being built alongside these drilling sites, he will further realize the development

Mass, and the selectmen were direct
ed to place her in the care of some
trustworthy person who would see
chat she was placed in the hands of
her friends.
Henceforth the child disappears
from Barnet annals and I cannot
trace her after-history. And here
comes in the question-why did the
people take so much interest in this
little waif? 1t is certain that she
was not treated as a pauper-and
why not? She was not bound out as
other destitute children were. Was
here something particularly attrac-
i've in the child that it should then
be singled out for consideration. or
were there circumstances which have
not come down to us which caused
the interest which people took in her?
We may never know, but l like to
dwell upon the kindly spirit manifest
ed by the people of Barnet toward
this friendless child.
And these are only two of some sim
gular circumstances that have come
to light in my research among the
early annals Of the town.
