Rotterdam. Holland, Nov. 9.-Hol-

along the German frontier to prevent
the influx of large numbers of Rus
sian bolshevik agents from Germany
Heavy guards are maintained SO that
persons wishing TO cross the boundary
in either direction must pass thru
frontier posts and over recognized
highways. Those who attempt sur
reptitiousiy to cross the frontier run
the risk of being shot.
These precautions have failed,
however, to check the movement OF
soviet agents. Men whom the police
would like to interview, have been
seen in this city and In Amsterdam,
but when the police set their dragnet
for their quarry the men wanted have
utterly vanished. The system followed

To Affect U. S. Prices

Chicago, Nov. 9.-The drop of the
price of gasolene in Great Britain
was. attributed today to a weakened
market caused by the entry of Rus
sian products into the English oil
market by officials of the Standard
Oil Company here.
The entry of Russian oils, which
have had no outlet for months, into
the European market was cfarac-
terized as "just the beginning Of
price decreases and probably the
forerunner Of q curtailment in the
