RUSSIAN GOLD.

Ludwig Martens, self-styled am
bassador Of the Russian Soviet gov
eminent to this country, who is now
under investigation with reference to
his eligibility for deportation with
the rest of the Reds, is exceedingly
anxious that the embargo against
Russia be raised still further SO as
to permit the purchase by Russians
of foreign commodities for gold. The
present arrangement is restricted to
the exchange OF commodities. and
the Soviet government has no COM
modtties to exchange. 1t has, how
ever, quite a lot of gold. Something
like half a billion dollars, according
TO Martens. That gold is ready to
be used In the purchase Of goods
from American manufacturers and
dealers. and this is the bait that is be-
ing held before the United States
government TO induce it to recognize,
wholly or in part, the Soviet organ
iEation.
Martens makes the naive statement
that little or no gold is in the hands
Of private banks or individuals in
that portion Of Russia which is UNI
der complete Soviet control. There
il excellent reason to believe that
that statement is true. At any rate,
1t is as nearly true as it has been pos
sdb1e for the Soviet outfit to make it,
II there Is any gold remaining in pri-
vate hands in the territory controlled
by the Bolshevik organization it is
because its owners have been able
Il hide it 30 we'll that the Bolsheviki
have not been able to find 1t. The
banks were quite thoroughly looted
early in the period of Soviet misrule
Money found in the possession OF
private individuals was seized without
ceremony. And while 1t is scarcely
probable that all the money in the
country was stolen and turned ove1
to general headquarters without q

MR.. FUGLEsTAD IRA

The libel case Of the Normanden
against Mr.. F~'uglestad of Cooperstown
has been settled out Of court. Ac-
cording to the terms of settlement
Mr.. Fuglestad paid all costs incur
red. and signs a specific retraction
intended to ove statements which
he had made derosatory to the Nor
manden, and rejecting OF Mr.. Thor
son it's publisher. MI. Fuglestad adj
mits that he was unjust in referring
to the Normanden as a part Of the
bought press" He finds that the
Normanden had not cast reflections
on the character or policy Of mem
bers of the Nonpartisan league. The
paper had criticized the leaders Of
the NonparttAn league from various.
standpotnts, fbut M. Fuzlestad finds
that this. criticism in no way applied
to the members at large. Mr.. Fugle-
stad further defines the term bought
press" IN such a manner rs to indi-
cate that it a intended in an K
ceedingly complimentary manner as
he sys that what he intended to con-
vey was that copies Of the paper had
been purchased and distributed for
campaign purposes, which he says
"was perfectly legitimate and honest
campaigning" That which was held
to be a libel therefore was intended
by him rs q eulogy, but in consider
alton of the misunderstanding which
arose he is willing to pay all costs and
to give the Normanden a certificate
of good character.
This conclusion Of thu case is
naturally gratifying to the publisher
of the Normanden. MI. Thorson took
prompt and vigorous action in bring
ing suit against this man and others
who had made remafks which were
understood to be derogatory Of the
Norrnanden, and which, notvith-
standing Mr.. FusiAstad's present dist
cIaimer, most people will suspect

Fearful Enalne of Destruction.

A warship that win combine in It. self the surface craft, the airship and the submarine is mo impossible dream of the future" says Sir Fortesque FIannery, president of the British So- ciety of Consulting Marine Engineers. The tendency will naturally be to scout the possibility of a craft com bining all these qualities, but Sir For teSque Is practical man and his opin- ion is supported by Sir John Fisher, who, when first sea lord of the British admiralty, predicted that such a craft would come in no very distant time and that the nations might then scrap their navies as junk.
 The experiences Of the recent war show how difficult it is for surface ships to fight airships or submarine, and a craft combining the qualities of the two that could seek refuge Tn either air or water would drive sur face ships from the sea.

How German Potash Is Mined.

Potash in Germany occurs in the form of a rock salt and runs in seams of 30 feet or more in thickness. AS mined, 1t has about the same consist ency as the common rock salt of con- merce and its grinding is easy. It is ground to about the fineness of a coarse sand; in this form 1t Is used for domestic agriculture and at the present time 1t is also mostly exported in this form. The depths at which the true potash deposits are situated ren- der 1t necessary to sink shafts leading to levels of as much as 5000 feet be- low the surface Horizontal cuttings extend up to two miles in length.
