which Valerie demonstrates that she
has lost none of her hold on the
sentiment of her audiences-and her

BARTER. SYSTEM
 OF TRADE NOW
 EUROPEAN RACE

Rome, Juy 3-(Correspondenc of, The Associated Press)-A system of barter akin to that of pioneer from tier days in America, but on a more stupendous scale presents itself as the modus operandi of the foreign trade of the United States in Europe, according to foreign trade experts of the United States government in vestigating the trade possibilities in Italy.
 "Our ability to establish perma- nent trade relations with the bellig- erent European nations which have been drained of their resources by war depends upon willingness to ac- cept a program of barter in the ex- change of comm oditfes," is the opin- ion given to The Associated Press correspondent by Dr. Alfred P. Den tache, here.
 Italy" he added, needs such of our raw materials as coal, iron ore, lumber and petroleum products to enable her to start up her industrial processes and begin anew her eco- nomic convalescence. She cannot go on borrowing the money to pay for our goods. If she Is to have them 1t must be through swapping her commodities for ours.''

NORTH RUSSIAN
 SOLDIERS WEAR
 KHAKI UNIFORMS

Archangel, July 3.---(Correspond- khaki uniforms of the British type that have been adopted by the North Russian government for its soldiers have now, with only a very few ex- captions, replaced the dozen or more varieties of fancy military dress that were common in the early days of the fighting against the Bolshevikf on this front last Sept ember.
 This little matter of standardizing the uniforms typifies the efforts that have been made to organize a Rus sian army in the North. Only three French Foreign Legion, Russians who wear the French light blue and the Polish Legion, also wearing light blue and with strange four-corne peaked caps.
 Even the Cossack troops have had to give up their gaudy colors and flaming striped trousers for the khaki. The S1avo- o-Brittanic Legion officers wear the British uniforms, ''pbps' and all, grade markings, but the other Russian officers wear the old Russian shoulder stripes on British cut coats with the Sam Browne belt
 A startling contrast to the we'll unfformei government troops are the Bolshevik prisoners who are brought in, from time to time, to Archangel. Most of them are without any uniform at all. wearing their peasant clothes, while some have queer mixtures of the dress of half the nations of the world.
 Many former Bolshevik prisoners have changed this Garb, and also their politics, for the khaki, and now are fighting against the Bolshevik. One entire battalion of former Bolshevik prisoners. offlcered by an English col onel. and known as "Dyer's Battal- ion," has done excellent work.
 Hundreds of boys are in khaki in Archangel- Recently Governor Gen. eral Miller announced that an "edu- cational battalion of boys from the ages of F to IS years, was to be formed, to include boys guilty of ac- tions deserving imprisonment, ram blers and houseless boys, anit boys whose parents would like to have them brought up in an atmosphere of military discipline.
 In honor of General Edmund Iron side, the British commander-in-chief, this battalion will be known as Gen eral Ironside's Educational Battalion for Children" and will Abe dressed and fed at the expense of the British gov ernment.

Naval Planes Are Made
Ready For Trip Today
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, May 6.-Unfavorable
weather reports from points along
the coast and a strong northeast wind
held the three naval planes to their
hangers early today. Whether the
the naval planes would attempt the
projected fight to Halifax later in
the day depended upon a moderation
in the wind and more favorable re-
ports from all along the route to Hall
fax
The NC-1 which was damaged by
fire yesterday was repaired during
the night and run out on the runway
ready to take her place with the other
two planes. The NC-3 and NC-4 also
were ready for the flight should the
wind moderate.
Commander John H. Towers, chief
Of the expedition said that he was re
ceiving reports from points along the
coast but that in the face of a strong
northeast wind he did not think it
would be wise to attempt a fight.
He explained that flying in the face
of a strong wind would require IF
teen hours to make the trip to Hall
fax, whereas under more favorable
conditions, but eight hours would be
required. He daclared, however, that
everything was in readiness and that
the fight to Halifax would be started
today if the wind moderated.
