TO OPEN TRADE
WITH RUSSIA
Allies Are to Adopt a New
Policy in Relation to
the People
BUT NO CHANGE
TOWARD GOVT.
Clothing, Medicines, Agri-
cultural Machinery, Etc,
Are to Be Sent

London, Jan. Commercial rela
tions will be reopened between the
allied nations and, the Russian people
at once as result of decision reached
| by the supreme council at Paris yester-
day The step, which reverses the for
mer policy of the allies toward Russia
does not imply an altered attitude to-
ward the Trotzky-Lenine government,
according to the statement issued by
the council.
Clothing medicines, agricultural ma
chinery and other necessities will be
shipped into Russia from entente ma
tions which will receive in payment
grain, flax and other products which the
Russian people desire TO export. Ar
rangements by which supplies sent to
Russia will reach the peasants will be
made, it is understood.
Relations between the allies and So
Wet Russia fill great deal of space in
this mornings newspapers. A remark
able statement issued in Paris yester-
day and ascribed to the British mission
there practically contradicting Thurs
days semi official announcement in this
city which accompanied the informa.
tion that Winston Spnecer Churchill
and his colleagues had gone to Paris. is
printed in news columns but is not
subject of comment. Dispatches from
Paris show a strange conflict of views
regarding the hurried journey to that
city on Thursday of ministers and
chiefs of the army and navy. Some
advices assert they were summoned
there to consider danger from bolshe-
vism, while Others declare that they
were called for general discussion of
the European situation.
London newspapers choose for prom
inence the development in the Russian
situation most suited to their respec-
tive views. Thus, the Daily News,
which advocates peace with the bolshe
wiki, describes the announcement of the
reopening of trade relations as ''mo-
mentous news, which on the face of it
means the raising of the blockade In
headlines of blackest type, ii says:

Violators Face Prosecution

Washington, ID. c., Jan. l7~-Prohi-

The constitutional amendment making
it illegal to manufacture, sell or give
away liquors or beverages containing
more than one half of one per cent of
liquor went into effect al midnight and
to-day violators faced prosecution un-
der one of the most drastic laws ever
promulgated to fit crime other than
felony.
In Washington, long ago made dry
by special act of Congress, and
"drier' by wartime prohibition, the
coming into effect of the new law
meant little and the occasion passed
without unusual incident, except for
celebration meetings held under the
auspices of reform organizations. At
the largest of these, participated in
by reformers, who gathered here from
all over the country, Secretary of the
Navy Daniels was speaker.
While those responsible for prohibi-
tion met in jollification at its coming
and congratulated one another on

enforcement of the law were at work

LIQUOR ARRESTS
ARE POSTPONED
Grand Jury Warrants VIII Not Be
Served Until Next Week Accord
ing to Report.

Milwaukee.-The IS alleged "booze"
law violators indicted Thursday by
the federal grand jury here after an
extensive investigation into liquor
trafficking in this district will not be
arrested until next week. This an
nouncement was made Friday by the
U. S. district attorneys Office. The
delay was attributed to. other cases
pending in federal court which are
taking up all the time of government
officials. Twenty of the true bills are
said to be against "big" whiskey deal
ers in Milwaukee and upstate cities.
The larger portion Of indictments are
believed to be an outgrowth Of moon
shining. The grand jury, it became
known on Friday, was unaEle to bring
in a large number of indictments be-
cause of insufficient evidence. Due to
this fact the inquiry is to be contin-
ued next January by the same jury,
acting in the capacity Of special in
vestigating body.

to recede from the union; think what
it would mean if all the thousands of
essential industries. so dependent up
on one another, could be welded into
on insoluble union. If we want the
world free we must make America
free; we must act 100000 strong.
If the republic Of the United States
should perish every other republic
would perish. The republics Of the
world look to America. We must have
sympathy in the struggle of peoples
to establish republics. Rather than
condemn the Russians we should sym
pathize with the oppressed. They are
doing the best they can and l predict
that in fifty years Russia and the
United States will be standing side
by side, the two greatest republics
in the world"
Discusses Pertinent Problems.
Mr.. Bede gave a short discussion of
the formation Of the Non-P Partisan
League in the farm countries, showing
that little things which harassed the
farmer was the big influence. He al
so discussed the problem of Mexico,
stating that he believed in declaring
peace by sending well-equipped large
army to the Rio Grand country to aid
the Mexicans rather than small army
which would be opposed. He touched
upon the "yellow peril" declaring that
the Japanese and many white persons
believed that the white races had
reached the peak and were now on
the decline which would result in the
fall of America as other great nations
have been destroyed.
His final plea was that every person
stand by the flag; that every one be
Americans first and internationally
sympathetic second so that war would
be an absolute impossibility when the
common peoples Of every nation ruled,
for the common peoples never had or
never would declare war upon the
common people of another nation"

Mrs. Gottlieb Nerling, Crazed With Pain, Hurls
Herself from Fourth Story Window
at Kenosha Hospital Friday.
GAVE NO WARNING OF DEDIENTIA
Patient Sends Nurse from Room and Without Any In
tination of Hysteria Climbs Out of Win
dow and is Fatally Injured.

, in the case. Gottlieb Nerling, the
husband of the unfortunate woman,
had visited his wife at the hospital
only ten minutes before the accident.
She had talked very nationally to him
and he felt convinced that she was on
the way to recovery. He had return
ed to the doctors Office when both
were told of the woman's tragic
death. The husband, FRUSTRATED with
grief, hurried to the hospital but his
wife was dead before he could reach
her side.
Mrs. Nerling's condition had not
been such that it was deemed neces-
sary to watch her according to the
statements made by physicians this
morning. She did not have a private
nurse because this had not been
thought necessary and the nurse and
attendants at the hospital had no rea-
son to expect that she would turn
violently demented.
Leaves Four Children.
Mrs. Nerling had many friends in
the city who were overcome with grief
when they learned of her sudden
death. In her own community she
had taken prominent part in its ac-
tivities. She is survived by her hus-
band and four children, one of them
the infant son which was born only a
few days ago..
Arrangements for the funeral ser
vices had not been made at noon to-
day but announcement of them will be
made later.

HUGHES Is PROBABLE
SECRETARY OF STATE
His Departure from Marion Was TAX
en- as an Indication That He VIII
Be Asked to Fill Position.

(By United Press
Marion.-Earnest arguments against
the League of Nations were made to-
day by Col. George Harvey, an out
spoken irreconcilable, the second best
Of minds" called here, in trying to
Offset the case, which Charles Evans
Hughes is believed to have advanced
in favor of American participation in
the League of Nations, providing
proper safeguards could be secured.
With the departure of Hughes, it was
the belief in political circles that
Harding will ask him to be the new
secretary of state. It is virtually GER
tain that the first tender for the posi-
tion will go to the men who deserted
the supreme court in 1918 to become
the standard bearer of the Republican
party. One report was to the effect
that the tender had already been made
but there has been no official confirm

Crazed by fever and pain, Mrs. Gott-
lieb Nerling, aged 81 years, of 165
North Lyman avenue, leaped to her
death just before eight o'clock Friday
evening when in condition of violent
hysteria caused by illness, she hurled
herself out of the window of her room
on the fourth floor Of the Kenosha
Hospital, where she was a patient.
The act was discovered Immediately
and attendants at the hospital who
were informed of the rash act hur-
ried to where the woman. had fallen.
She was still alive but breathed only
a short time after being taken into
the hospital.
Physicians who were called declared
that she had died from the shock of
the fall and from internal injuries
which she had received. The remains
we're taken to the Hansen mortuary
on Park avenue, where they were pre-
pared for burial.
Sent Nurse from Room.
Mrs. Nerling, while she had been a
very sick woman and| had given evil
dence of a high temperature, had Civ
en the physicians and the attendants
no intimation Of hysteria or violent
dementia and there was no reason to
expect any rash action. She calmly
sent the nurse out of the room to
fill an ice pack for her and while the
nurse was absent was evidently sud
denly taken with dementia which
caused her to end her own life.
The windows in the room are higher
than those in an ordinary nome and
in order to reach one of them, Mrs.
Nerling had placed a chair in front Of
it and crawled on it to open the win
dow. She was also forced to crawl
over the radiator in order to hurl her
self from the window.
Another Sees Falling Body.
The accident was first discovered
when patient on the third floor Of
the hospital saw the body of Mrs
Nerling fall past her window. She
notified her nurse but before that
time the nurse assigned to Mrs. Nerl-
ing had discovered the accident when
she returned to the room with the ice
pack.
Mrs. Nerling was brought to the
Kenosha Hospital on Thursday follow
ing the birth of son several days
ago. Blood poisoning had developed
following the birth and her condition
had become very critical. Because OF
this she had been removed from the
wards to private room on the fourth
floor where she would be more quiet.
The physician in attendance declared
that, while she had been teverlsh'
she had not given any reason to be-
lieve that she would become hysterlcai
or demented.
Coroner ExOnerates Hospital.
Coroner Truman T. Parker made
thorough investigation into the de-
tails of the accident and in his report
completely exonerated the hospital
and the physicians from any neglect
