Special Despatch 70 THE New YORK HERALD.

Washington, ID. e.. Nov. Is. J
Defeat Of Gen. Wrangel by the Boil
shevik is regarded In official Wash
lngton as the reason for the decision
reached by the British Cabinet to re-
open negotiations to establish trade re-
'ations with Russia, as announced to-
day In the House of Commons by
Premier Lloyd George.
Report OF this decision created a
mild sensation I'm the capital, although
L had been anticipated.
In their desire TO establish trade rela-
lions with Soviet Russia the British are
credited with being more Interested In
the political values of the situation than
In the financial returns that are to be
received. This angle is considered of the
utmost Importance. Great Britain is
understood to be fearful of what Boil
shevist influence may accomplish IN
Mesopotamia Persia and India and js
believed to be more anxious, to secure
pledges from Bolshevist Russia that
propaganda warfare in these sections
VII cease than in securing the advan-
taEeS or trade relations.
During the progress of the negotia-
tons with Krassine. 1t is said the
Soviet representatives were prepared TO
give these pledges, and actual British
recognition OF the political regime of
Russia might have followed If develop
inents IN the Polish situation had not
prevented.
While British surrender to the neces-
sites OF the political situation had been
expected in Washington, the attitude
of the State Department toward Rus
sian affairs will not change. 1t is
recognized many influences are at work
to bring about not only the establish
ment OF trade relations with Russia but
political recognition as well.
The theory back of the Admin stra-
tion's position is that many things con-
nected with the Russian theory OF gov
eminent threaten the stability of civiliza-
ton The American Government does
not believe that Russia has anything TO
exchange in barter for the goods OF the
rest Of the world Neither does 1t believe
that the Bolsheviki completely control
Russian affairs
Trade restr' ctions between Russ a and
America have been removed TO- several
months so far as concerns Americans
who are willing to trade with Russia at
their own risk. In spite of this action
the state Department continues TO dis-
courage any relationships which VIII
bring Russian gold TO this country.
LONDON, Nov 1S.--Premier Lloyd
George stated in the House of Commons
to-day that the Cabinet had decided that
n draft OF an agreement TO carry out
the July arrangements for trade with
Russia should be prepared and he hoped
II would be ready for submission TO the
Russian Government In few days.
He said the agreement would not be
entered into until Great Britain was
satisfied that the undertaking given by
the Soviet Government regarding the
release of British prisoners was being
carried out.

Mr.. Putnam's personal inspection con-
firmed this dismal report.
Then came long and trying negotia-
TONS The department of state offered
to restore the Washington will as it
had restored the Declaration of indie
pendence, If the document were
brought to the District of Columbia.
The Fairfax officials, backed by the
courts, decided that this was iinpos-
sible; that an act of the Virginia gem
eral assembly would be necessary to
enable them to consent TO even tenn
porary removal.
Finally in 1916 Librarian Putnam
and Galllard Hunt, chief of the divi-
sion of manuscripts, hit upon a def
mite solution OF the difficulty. In
charge of the repair section of the
manuscript division is William Ber-
wick, said to be the greatest living
expert in the restoration of old manu-
scripts. The Fairfax people, supported
by Lawrence Washington and other
connections of the first presidents
family. concurred In the suggestion
that the will should be restored at the
courthouse by Or" Berwick.
With infinite patience, with expert
knowledge and profound sense of the
| importance of the patriotic undertak-
| ing, CDR" Berwick began his surgery.
One by one the twenty-five sheets
were separated and treated. The in
| struments employed were very thin,
keen knives. camei's.hair brushes. the
| inevitable paste pot, metal tank for
soaking the pages, a press. and last
and most important of all, the gauze
or crepeline with which the mendtng
is made secune and a new or tougher
surface page obtained.
This gauze, an exquisitely fine tex
ture Of silk and linen. is extremely
flimsy to look at and demands the
most delicate handling, but once APP
piled over and beneath page of
writing or printing it renders it prac-
tically untearable Properly laid on it
becomes so absorbed IN the paper that
it Is hardly visible except under a
magnifying glass. Consequently the re-
newed manuscript can be read as easl-
ly as if no additional substance had
been used on it.
After the countless holes and tears
had been filled the pc ges were soaked
and pressed into perfect smoothnesS,
delicate knives we're employed to

since they rest in hermetically-seale
steel cases sunk in concrete and vel

light rays from the pages of the wills
exposed through glass to the public
view.
What more natural, inasmuch as
these wills are priceless national docu-
ments and Mount Vernon is in Fairfax
county?
Nevertheless, It was not always
thus. Hence this story of the "Wnls
