CHEERING IN THE COMMONS
Vshoas Kinds Of Applause That Ara

Lever House.

The giving OF applause In the Brit

the dignity Of science. A cheer from
q ,.as.a member is not infrequent, but
nse little significance unless It comes
from al important parsonage. It is
cheering In chorus that constitutes
the British demonstration
The tonA Of the cheering varies &C.
corci2s to the temper OF those who
cheer. First, there is the hearty, full.
voiced cheer OF genuine approval, re-
sounding, awakening the echoes and
full Of encouragement.
Next comes the low. subdued cheer,
gradually spreading along ali the
benches, indicating the deepseated
agreement that does not seek vocifer-
Gus Or hilarious expression. This Is
employed either on solemn occasions
or m moments q pcthos or in ao-
kno~sedSment OF come confession O..

FRENCH MILITARY EXPERT DIRECTING DEFENSIVE RUSSIAN CROWN JEWELS ARE SEIZED BY GOVERNMENT
GOVERNMENT GRABS
 RUSSIAN DIAMONDS

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. l7.-According to evi- dence introduced by the Government in the Martens deportation proceedings, GUS toms officials recently inter- cepted more than one hum dred diamonds which are supposed to have been a part of the famous jewels once belonging to the Russian royal family. The diamonds were enroute from Soviet Russia to the United States and were addressed to Con- rade Martens.
 The Government gave the details of regularly estab- lished courier between Bol- shevik agents in Sweden and soviet representatives in New York, by which large quantities of jewels have been transported during the past six months. One hundred and thirty diamonds were seized in June from a Swed- ish sailor, who also carried a large amount of communist literature, including all "ap- peal from the executive com mittee Of the third inter- national to the l. w. w.
 Martens disclaims any knowledge of the seized dia- monds addressed to him, and says the department of jus tice is trying to incriminate him to create sentiment against Soviet Russia.
