the American Legion, has ordered all
the documents transmitted for inves-
t.gation to the Defamation
League, a national organization for
combating racial and religious preju-
dices, which maintains headquarters
here.
For several weeks an inquiry has
been in progress; and Adolf Kraus.
president of the Defamation
League announced today the Lea CUES
decision to give the matter publicity.
Despite the fantastic nature and
manifest absurdity of the charges" he
said, "the propagandists have succeed
ed in gaining rather wide hearing
among the uneducated classes of Eng
land and other European countries
This propaganda comes anonymous
" from abroad. In Europe's present
disturbed condition, it appears es-
pecially desirable that the American
public. have the fullest possible infor-
nation concerning it."
Chiefly the evidence in possession of
the league consists of books and cir
culars originally written in Russian
and translated and printed in England.

The funds from which the propa-
ganda is being financed, according to
adviceS received in New York from
Berlin of an investigation in the Ger
man Senate are being supplied by
Prince Salem and Count Behr, the
leader of the Conservative party.
The individual in whose name the
documents are being circulated among
the various departments of the Amer
lean Legion, signs himself Frazier
Curtis, formerly of the Lafayette Es-
cadrille." But efforts to establish "Mr
Curtis" connection with the French
service thus far have failed nor has
the league been able to Identify him
otherwise.
One of the pamphlets recently dis
seminated by Mr.. Curtis" from Lon
don, purports to reveal that Jewish
financiers had obtained control of the
democratic and republican parties, and
called upon members of the American
Legion to nominate Gen. Leonard
Wood ION straight anti-Jewisn plat
form" General Wood has offered his
cooperation to the American Legion
to overcome the evil effects of this
propaganda. Il regret exceedingly
said the general, that the circular has
been circulated. l have done every
thing possible to build up a spirit oi
national solidarity and to prevent The
rise of racial or religious animos ties.
1t appears that the agitation has not
attained as yet its full intended scope;
for among the publications most late
ly circulated from London IS a pamph-
, let seeking to involve the Catholic
| Church and Germany, assisted by the
international Jew in a plot to sub
vert the League of Nations varia :

theme.

RUSSIAN RAW
MATERIALSLOW
Transportation Systems Wrecked and
Large Areas Are Run Down.
tThe Associated PrssaA

Constantinople, July 2S.-Russia's
ability to export raw materials in the
nea rfuture has been greatly over
estimated by foreign countries, in the
opinion of Colonel B. Englehard, for
merly member of the Russian Duma
and student of economic conditions
in Russia before and after the revolu-
ton. In talk with the Associated
Press correspondent he said that for
eigners seem to fail to realize the coll
lapse of the Russian transportation
systems, reduced manpower and run
down condition of the Russian farm
lands.
This comment was evoked by re-
ports Of the negotiations of Russian
economic agents with Premier Lloyd
George in London and the announce
ment that the United States had lift
with Soviet Russia
Colonel Englehard is confident that
Russia viii again play an important
role in European markets, but, he said,
the revival Of Russian trade will not
come until there shall be established
normal state of life when men shall
renounce attempts of establishing i'm
mediately the paradise of communism.
1T should be borne in mind that
European Russia has been greatly re-
duced in size" said Colonel Englehard.
Formerly it had over 100000 square
kilometers of Ian dand 100000 in
habitants. Poland, Finland, a great
part of the Caucasus and several Bal
tic provinces, with about $4,000, 900 in
habitants and about 1,250,000 square
Kilometres of land have detached
themselves. The greater part Of these
detached territories ordinarily had a
notable surplus of grain and other
farm products which constituted the
major part Of Russia's exports.
'Tn 1913, the last year when condi-
tons were normal in Russia, exports
were valued at 1900, 0000 900 gold ru-
bles,, or $750.00O.000. The greatest
single item in the export list was
grain. The total grain exports were
12,870000 tons, valued at $325,000,000.
European Russia used to harvest S.
100000 tons of grain annually. With
it's reduced area, with the breaking up
of big estates, lack of machinery and
ruin wrought by continuous war in
many of its most fertile areas it may
be affirmed the grain harvest of the
soviet republic will scarcely reach 3D.
100000 tons annually. One cannot
count many considerable expectation
f grain from soviet Russia in the i'm
mediate future. So far as Siberia and
the provinces in Central Asia are con-
cerned they used to produce 500 pounds
of grain for each inhabitant. The
civil war must have reduced the nor
NAL very considerably and it is doubt
ful whether any considerable quantity
grain can be exported from ST.
beria." u

ROOT FAVORS
SMALL STATES
Jurists Drawing Up Plans for Inter.
national High Court of Justice.
(By Associated Press.)

The Hague, Aug. I'm the course
of the jurists' conferences which have
been held here to draw up plans for
the organization of an international
High Court of Justice, Raoul Fernan-
deg, the Brazilian delegate, found Eli
hu Root a strong supporter in his
fight for the interests of the small ma
tions.
At two different occasions Mr. Root
succeeded in inducing the conference
to adopt articles which Senior Fernan-
DEE proposed, but which only met with
cold reception until Root came 10
Fernandez assistance.
The first case was the right of the
country which had no judge in the
court to name judge to sit while
that country's case was before the
court.
The second case in which Fernan-
DEE and Root closely elaborated was
when the latter's proposal to extend
the power of supplementary judges
was about to be rejected.
According to the original plan the
vacancies caused through the absence
of judges could only be filed when at
least three judges were absent Mr..
Root, however, supported the Fernan-
dez amendment, and the substitute
takes the function as soon as one
judge is absent. In these two cases
the small power are closely interested.
The small powers are to have ma
jority in the high court. there being
five judges representing the big pow
ers and six representing the small
powers. while also the substitutes be-
long to the small countries.
This majority was endangered by
the old plan when in case of two alb
sent judges the small powers vacan-
cies would not be filled and the big
powers woul dhave majority of five
to four.
