by Secretary of Labor Wilson.
Decision in the Martens case, which
has attracted international attention,
was made by the Labor Department to-
day after months of hearings and argu-
ments. During all this time Martens
has been on parole in custody OF his
counsel. former Representative Hardwick
of Georgia. He Is ordered taken into
custody and deported to Russia, with the
direction that he be treated with the
utmost courtesy and given the best avail
able accommodations. The order for his
custody will be technically complied
with, but 1t is understood he will not be
locked up.
1t is significant that the Labor Depart
ment in it's findings in the case declares
that the Russian Soviet advocates the
overthrow of the Government of the
United States by force and violence
Diplomatic immunity claimed for Mar
tens was not allowed on the basis that
he is not an accredited official of n for
eign government In the accepted usual
sense, because he never has been recog-
nized or received as such diplomatic rep
resentative by the President of the
United States and his professed Govern
ment has never been recognized. Secre-
tary Wilson says:
That he is an official of the Soviet

MARION, Ohio, Dec. 16.-The rush
for high places in the American diplo-
matte service under the new AdminiA
tration is almost comparable to the
scramble for postmasterships in the
days when civil service was only a
dream of reformers. Scores of men of
means who believe they would adorn
American embassies and legations
have found means to bring to the at
tention of the President-elect their
special availability.
Among the five hundred letters that
Senator Harding receives every day
of the week, not a few come recon-
nending Mr. So and So for the post
at the Court of st. James's or the
equally distinguished honor of the
Ambassadorship to France. There are
a dozen applicants for the gilded dis
tinction of Ambassador to Japan and
half a dozen men would not complain
II President Harding should call on
them to sweeten American relations
with Spain. Italy, Holland. Belgium
and Scandinavia. Nobody has applied,
so far as can be learned. for the Am
bassadorship to Germany; nor has
there been request for the once
proud Austrian assignment.
Applications for South America, espe-
oially for the Argentine. Brazil. Chile.
Peru and Venezuela, come winginG in

PUSS IN BOOTS
CHAPTER XLvII.


After leaving the meadow where the
COW had jumped over the moon. as
told you IN the last story. Puss Junior
waved his cap to the little cat with her
fiddle and once more continued on his
way, and By and by he came to a pretty
village where the church bell was tolling.
Ding, dong, bell"
what can be the matter?" thought
Puss, running up to a crowd OF people
who stood around an old well on the
village common. Something must have
happened" and Just then a small boy
began crying:
''Pussy's in the well"
And in another minute very wet
pussy cat was lifted out Of the well ana
placed carefully on the grass. She lay
very still, with her eyes closed and her
pretty fur all soaked with water.
grily.
Little Tommy Green" everybody an
swered at once.
what a naughty boy was that
To drown poor pussy cat,
Who never did him any harm
But killed the mice in his fathers
barn."
shouted Puss Junior, forgetting IN his
excitement that he was reciting his
1avorite Mother Goose rhyme
"You bet he was" cried little Johnny
Stout Its lucky I pulled her out.
Perhaps she isn't quite dead"
I'm afraid she Is answered Puss
Junior. Still, II she wasn't in the
water too long, we may save her. 1t
usually takes a long time to drown the
who put her in7" Puss asked an
nine lives Of a cat"
You see, he knew the old saying that
every cat has nine lives!
And then he rolled her over and over
on the grass, for he remembered hear
ing once that this was the proper way
TO bring a drowning person to life.
Pretty soon poor pussy cat gave a
faint "MeOwP' and opened one eye. and
after that she stood up with the water
trickling down her face and dripping
Of IN little drops from her stringy tail.
II guess she's all right now" said
Puss Junior. Isn't there some kind
little girl who Will take her home and
cuddle her up nice and warm. Isn't
there some little girl who would like
a pussy for a pet?"
"Oh. let me have her" cried Little Pc
Peep. "Since I've lost my sheep I've
been longing for a pet to play with
and then she picked up pussy in her
arms and ran OF TO her home.
Well, this ought to be a lesson to
every boy here to let pussy cats Alone
said Puss Junior. Where is Tommy
Green? ?"
And didn't Tommy Green look ashamed
when some one pushed him out of the
crowd.
You tell your father" said Puss to
the naughty boy, ito duck you in the
well so you'll know how It feels and
he eurled his whiskers which stood out
very straight, for he was angry with
that naughty Tommy Green, and then
he picked up his hat and resumed his

OLD CIGAR STUNT
TRICKS DETECTIVE
q Didn't KnOLU 1t Was Loaded,
Generous One Asserts.
II didn't know it was loaded.

Il didn't know it was loaded"
This statement. so familiar to the pO-
lice. is being repeated over and over
today by Capt Alfred Raw in an at
tempt to explain certain occurrences at
police headquarters.
It all started when Capt. Ray, who
his friends say, is not of q particularly
generous nature, presented Captain Of
Detectives Fred Simon with a cigar, all
without any perceptble provooation.
MANNING SAYS
IT EAS GOOD SMOKE.
Capt Simon, being Of a naturally
EVspicious nature, presented the cigar to
Inspector of Detectives Chauncey Man
ming.
Manning later reported that it was a
very good cigar.
Then Capt Ray appeared and asked
Capt. Simon how he liked the cigar.
Capt Simon replied that it was very
good.
On the strength Of this Capt. Ray pre-
scented him with another.
PAT ROACH GETS
HIS FINGERS IN.
Then appeared Detective Pat Roach and
appropriated the cigar, leaning back in
q chair and lighting it.
In a few minutes there was loud
report and Detective Roach landed on the
floor and the cigar, after the nature of a
skyrocket. hit the ceiling
Meanwhile Detective George Stewart
had accepted 2 cigar from Capt. Ray and
he later explained that in the lombard
ment that resulted when he attempted TO
smoke it at home he knocked three pots
Of geraniums OF a window sill.
Meanwhile Inspector Manning still in
sists his cigar was q very good cigar
and Capt. Ray persists in the statement
that he didn't know 1t was loaded
