"Underground'' Railroad Of SoW-
cts Causes Worry for Author
tiles in Holland.
HEADED FOR UNITED STATES
Soviet Agents Try to Bring into hoI-
land eoIshevik "Missiona rIes"
Who Are to Make Attempts
to Reach America.

ROtterdam-Holland has established
great Gordon along the German from
tier. to prevent the influx of large num-
bers of Russian Bolshevik agents from
Germany. Heavy guards are main
tanned so that persons wishing to cross
the boundary in either direction must
pass through frontier posts and over
recognized highways. Those who at
tempt surreptitiously to cross run the
risk of being shot.
Soviets Still Busy.
These precautions have failed, how.
ever, to check the movement of Sow.
ct agents. Men whom the police would
like to Interview have been seen In
this city and Amsterdam, but when
the police set their dragnet for their
quarry the men wanted have utterly
vanished. Later there usually comes
information that the suspects have
been found in Germany and are on
their way to the Russian frontier. The
system followed resembles the "un-
foreground railroad" by which fugt-
tive slaves moved through northern
states to Canada in the days before
the Civil war.
Police surveillance is attempted In
Hamburg and some other German cit
les but it usually comes to naught, as
there are elements in Germany which
are friendly to the Soviet Russian gov
eminent. 1t Is declared here that
Germany is almost as good haven
as Russia for Bolshevik agents"
Radical agitators are frequently found
in, the Ruhr mining region Of Ger

ton, where they seem to move about
without restraint.
Headed for United States.
The underground. railroad" 10 uti-
lized by Soviet agents to bring into
Holland Bolshevik missionaries"
who are to make attempts to reach
America. There appears to be a con-
slant current OF these men crossing
and recrossing the frontier. Every
means Of getting them into Holland
ls used. During recent months many
Poles have gone to America, and some
eral Pilsudskrs armies.
1t Is said regularly organized bu-
reaus were established to help these
men evade military duty and 20 for
ward into Holland, and that among
them were many Bolshevik agents.
They had been engaged in propaganda
work behind the Polish lines during
the recent Soviet drive on Warsaw,
ant, when the drive was crushed they
fled westward and Joined their COM
r;,t!es in this country.
Reports have been received here
that many Bolshevik sympathizers
who were last year depOrted as unde-
sirables from America are to be re-
turned to that country. Polish off,
cials assert special bureau has been
created here to take care Of this class
OF "emigrants," and carry out care
fully laid plans for getting the agita-
tors back into the United States.

Nearly 60 per cent of the bodies of

parents and wives of dead soldiers
come to France to remove the re-

Discovered in Pennsylvania UNI

From BabyIonia.
IT IS 4. LIKENESS OF lH.SIM
Picture Of the Last King Of Ur 10 On
a Clay Stamp and 10 AZ Clearly
Defined az the Day It
Was Made.

Philadelphia, Pa.-What is believed
to be the oldest portrait Of a human
being has been discovered in the Uni.
versty Of Pennsylvania museum col
lection of clay tablets from BabylOnia
according to an announcement by Gu.
rator Lagrain Of the Babylonian Sec
ton. The portrait is on clay post
age stamp" which also served as a
seal for a registered package, dated
about 28OO b. G.
1t is a likeness of Ibi-Sin, the last
king OF Ur, known to Bible students
as Ur Of the Chaldee.
The package or sack bearing the
seal, Doctor Lagrain said, appears to
have been sent by the high priest Of
the Temple of Ur, in which Abraham
later worshiped, to a banker named
Shulpae, and probably contained gold.
Shows Personal Appearance.
ut Is of unusual Importance to
psychologists" he added, because It
probably gives clew to the personal
appearance of the Sumerians.
1.-THE portrait is on a clay stamp. 1t
is as clear and distinct and the fea-
lures as well defined as the day it was
made. The astonishing thing is that
it shows the cooking as smooth
shaven. 1t Is significant that the pic
ture shows a lock of hair projecting In
the forehead from beneath the tur-
ban hat and another from behind.
lbl-sin Was Different.
Before the days Of Ibi-Sin we never
heard Of a king giving any one a
seal containing his portrait, but In
this instance the seal not only dis
tinctly says the king-god gave the
seal to the high priest OF the Temple
Of ur, but shows picture Of thu
event.
POSSIBLY the fact that .Ibi-Sin wa
the last Of his dynasty and may have
seen the end coming. was responsible
for this remarkable gift"

AdolfO Pouchain, is claimed to have
greater strength than steel or any
other metal with higher limit Of elias
ITCHY. 1t is an alloy Of zinc and COP
per- endures a high temperature and
resists corrosion better than copper.
Its lightness, great strength and non
corrosiveness have fitted 1t especially
for airplane and ship construction.
Though stated to be not yet fully de-
veloped, its varieties offer advantages
in working as substitutes for steel,
brass and aluminium, and can be cast,
