THOUSANDS SAVED
BY LET'S IN RIGA

STOCKHOLM, July 1.-THE lives
of several thousand persons of the
middle classes at Riga were saved
by the Let's when they surprised the
Bolsheviki and captured that city on
May 10. These people had been
held as hostages by the Bolsheviki.
The suddenness with which the
Lettish yeomanry captured the city
in half an hour prevented the Boil
sheviki from numbering them Only
in one large central prison outside
minutes late did the Bolsheviki have
time to kill more than 100 edu-
Gated persons. :,
This information has been brought
here by Hans Fraenckel, who has
returned to Stockholm from an adj
venturous trip to Riga in a motor
boat to rescue some OF his friends.
Fraenckel saved Is persons and
brought them with him to Stock
holm.
He said the situation at Riga was
worse than any description could
picture. Famine had paralyZed
everything and the inhabitants
looked like shades. Traces of the
terror that had converted Riga into
a real inferno were to be seen every
where. Corpses were lying in the
streets.
The people were most pessimistic
and the future looked hopeless for
their pillaged city. They doubted
if it could be held against the Boil
sheviki unless the allied powers
gave military support. ~

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE prot
estant church of this country rep
resented in the federal council of
the churches of Christ in America
today issued a declaration hal the
state should attempt to secure to
the worker an income sufficient to
maintain his family at a standard
of living which the community can
approve"
This was part of a prOnOuncement
on the attitude of the church to-
ward social reconstruction which
was drawn up by the commission on
the church and social service of the
federal council. The federal coun-
ell is a congress of 80 leading Chris
tian bodies for united action.
The statement asserts that lit is a
false idea that, the churches are only
concerned with religious, educa-
tional and charitable enterprises.
They are or should be vitality con-
cerned with civic, economic and
other social interests"
Rights of working men to share
in the control of industries are set
forth in this statement at length.
1--we have come upon times when
people are not submissive to injus-
tice or to unnecessary priyation and
suffering" declares the church com-
mission. They are deeply and justly
in earnest. If those who are the
actual industrial, political and social
leaders of the nation will not act
upon the~principle that the greatest
shall be the servant of all then the
people themselves, with Indignation
and bitterness, are sure to take their
destinty and that of the world into
their own hands
Glass consciousness and the use
of violence are not confined to the
revolutionary groups. The posses
sion of wealth and education tend
to the formation of classes, and in
dustrial ownership and management
to a class conscious ruling group.

CAL. SWIMMER
Wins IN FRANCE

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1.-THE
excellent showing made by Norman
Ross. the Pacific coast swimmer and
former member of the Olympic
club of this city, in the allied
games held in France, did not sur
prise his friends who freely had pre-
dicted he would maintain his repu-
tation.
The fact that ne won every
swimming event in which he was
entered is held as additional proof
by these friends that their claim
that Ross is one of the greatest and
most versatile swimmers of all time
is not without merit. While swim
mers like Duke Kahanameku and
others have been world heaters in a
few events in which they have spe-
cialized as. for instance, the sprints.
Ross has proved himself a master
swimmer in practically all the dis
tances-long and short.
The career of Ross has been
rather an unusual one for the rea-
son that he sprang into fame prac-
tically with one plunge into the
water. Ross has been swimming for
some time and. while experts con-
coded he had the makings OF a
champion, for one reason or another
he never seemed able to make any
more than a mediocre showing. One
or two of his admirers, who still
had faith in his ability to make
good, prevailed on the Olympic
club to send him to some eastern
CHAMPIONSHIPS last chance as it
were. The consent was grudgingly
given. The subsequent caree of
Ross as a swimmer is information
ally known, but only a few know
how nearly he missed the oppor-
tunity Of ever becoming a factor in
the annals of American swim
ming

GERMANS DELIVER OLD
MAIL AFTER ARMISTICE

SYDNEY, Australia July IA
curious manifestation of German
psychology is seen in the recent de-
livery of the Australian liner Ma
tunga's mails to the addresses The
Matunga was captured and sunk by
the German raider Wolf off the coast
of New Guinea in August, 1917. The
mails on her we're taken to Ger

German hands over a year they were
delivered to the British authorities
after the armistice had been signed.
In due course they were sent to Sgd

HUNGARIAN WOMEN
LIKE RED REGIME

LONDON, July 15.-Of all the
sufferers from the Bolshevist regime
in Hungary, the women he saw were
the least unhappy. according to H.
N. Brailsford, a we'll known British
journalist.
He says that during his stay there
he met a good many aristocrats who
were obliged to work for the first
time in their lives.
Some were certainly angry" he
went on, land a few were fearful.
1t nay have been chance, but the
majority of those whom happened
to meet, especially the women, were
remarkably spirited and even gay.
IL sat once in a drawing room in
which each lady in turf began to
recount her experiences in getting
work. Most had succeeded. Most
had met with courtesy and helpful
ness. These ladies seemed anus
ingly proud to discover that as lin.
gusts, teachers or musicians, they
had a value and a rather high value
in the labor market.
THE women in this company were
much happier than the men, OBJ.
viously because the revolution had
emancipated them and ended g

CAPE TO CAIRO
AERIAL MAILS

LONDON, July 12.-Despite the
enormous difficulties being met with
in establishing the long air route, it
is expected that the Cape to Cairo
aerial mail service will be in opera
tion before the year is out. The
first flight, it is said, probably will
be made in October or November.
Partial reports of the African
survey parties now in the field de-
tail some of the obstacles that have
had to be surmounted. Between
Malakal and Gondokoro, about 400
miles, the Nile so mandates the
country that no suitable landing
place for an airplane could be found.
It is therefore proposed to use a
flying boat for that stage of the
journey.
A month after the signing of the
armistice with Turkey the first sur
vey party was ready to start. Two
years previously the route from Sol
lum to Cairo had been used by Ma
ior MacLaren on his flight from
England to Egypt and aerodromes
had peer built at Sollum, Mersa Ma
truth and at Amria. neal Alexandria.
while intermediate landing grounds
had beer cleared for emergency use.
For the purpose of the survey,
Africa was divided into three Sec
tions. One party was assigned to
Egypt, the Sudan and as far south
as Victoria Nyanza. The second COW
cred the central stretch from Vic
toria Nyanza through a part of what
was German East Africa to Kituta
at the southern end of Loke Tan
ganyika. A third party inspected
the line from Kituta to Cape Town.
A route by way of Egypt and the
Arabian coast to India is being de-
veloped from Atbara to Trinkitat,
on the Red Sea, and thence by way
of the Farsan and Kamaran islands
to Perrin and Alden.
