Cloth Made i'm England
British Sell Huge Amount of
Supplies to Russian Soviet
Representative

LONDON, Sept. 2o.-While negotia.
tons for rcopening trade with Russia
are pending, Leonid Krassin, Russian
SoveS Minister of Trade and Commerce
who came to England first as trade ne
gotlator and later as member of the
joint Soviet diplomatic and trade COM
mission, is buying large amounts of
commodities for the Russians.
When it became known that Krassin
had purchased $4,000 yards of khaki
flannel manufactured for American uni
forms, the London press asked why this
was allowed, in view of the fact that
the trade negotiations had not been
completed, and that diplomatic relations
with Russia, if not broken off, at least
were suspended.
Notwithstanding this adverse COM
ment, Krassin is completing arrange
ments for the delivery of much food
stuffs to him in England. The Russian
buying organization is so we'll arranged
that Russians associated with Krassin
are even negotiating for the purchase
of between 100000 and 10000 900 Gig
arettes, manufactured and owned by
Brltishers and stored at Reval, Esthonia.

Red Editor Scores u. S.
Note Regarding Poland
Declares America Is 'sGovefmed
by Millionaires Working
ThrSugh Tammany Hall''

MOSCOW, Sept. 2o.-The note sent
recently by cambridge Colby, the
American Secretary of State. to the
Italian government regarding the Rus
so-rolish situation has been much dis
cuased in official circles.
M. stekloff, editor of the Isvestia,
the Bolsheviki paper, in an article in
his newspaper, cAaracterizes the note
as literary effore Calculated to make
Mr.. Balfour, Lord President of the
British Council, turn green with envy,
and inaugurating rivalry between Eng
land and America in another field be-
sides increasing naval armaments."
The writer defends the Third In
ternationale as legitimate propaganda,
in no wise differing in methods from
the counter-propaganda employed in
capitalist countries. He refutes the &C.
cusation that Russia is governed other
than by the will of the workers, peas
ants and soldiers, and declares that the
great American democracy, (which has
practically disfranchised the negro
masses and arrests and persecutes
radical parties and organizations" has
no right to protest against "the brute
force of the Soviet government"
NJ. Stekloff says Russia may be gov
erned by the Communist party, but the
United States is governed by million
aires working through Tammany Hall
and Pinkerton." He says the practical
value of the note as an indication Of
the future policy of the United State9
may be regarded as nil, as it deals IN
generalities

Each afternoon that Joseph Ostrow,
nine years old, of 1923 Third Avenue,
Brooklyn, returned home from school
he didn't run to the back door, like
other children, but to the front door,
where he rang the doorbell, Gust like

his mother to greet him.
,'It's; only me-" Joseph would say
when his mothe ropened the door. and
then there would be mothers kisses
and caresses.
When Joseph returned to the Ostrow
home yesterday there was no response
when he rang the bell. He saw that
cotton had been stuffed in the keyhole.
The shades were drawn. Joseph, filled
with anxiety, ran to the home of a
neighbor. A moment later the door of
the Ostrow home was forced open. Mrs.
Ostrow was dead. She lay on her bed.
There was gas tube beside the body.

Little Entente
Will Force Peace.
Says Prof. Miller
zecho-Slovakia, Jugo.Sla-
via and Rumania Allied
to Prevent Wars France
Is Said to Have Planned

The conclusion of the Little Entente
by Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia and
Rumania is an important step toward
settling the troubles of southeastern
Europe, according to Professor Her
bert Adolphus Miller, Of Oberlin Col
lege, sociologist and authority on in
ternational relations.
Professor Miller arrived here Satur-
day on the Lapland, after three
months sojourn at the capitals of CEN
tral Europe and the Balkans. He had
been the guest of President Masaryk
Of Czecho-Slovakia at Hradcany Castle
the ancient residence Of Bohemian
kings at Prague. He visited Berlin,
vierna. Budapest, Agram, Belgrade,
Bucharest and Sofia, comforting with
leading statesmen at each city.
"The formation Of the Little Entente
means, above all, two things" Pro-
fessor Miller said yesterday. "First,
it is warning that when the so-called
small states speak of self-determina-
ton they mean it; that they refuse
to be the pawns in the game of old
school statecraft; that they are re-
solved to be masters of their own des-
TIMES.
ut means, second, that Czecho-
Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia and Rumania
recognize the danger that threatens
them on the part Of the crazy mill
tarists tai now in the saddle in Hungary
These states repeatedly have expressed
their willingness to forget dire men,
ories of Magyar oppression in the past
with Hungary. But that is Impossible
as long as this latter country Is ruled
by the government Of the White
Terror.
admiral Hcrthy, who now is Regent
Of Hungary, is guiding the country
toward new war.
"At the same time the new alliance
means a blow to French policy which
Is not to be confused with the genuine
interests of France. The present
French government is bent upon keep
ing up the old hatred and quarrels in
Central Europe and on using the new
states for catspaw. France is OBJ
seessed with the fear of Germany, which
is perfectly appreciable. But she goes
the wrong way about protecting her
interests when she tries to establish a
military preponderance as if she were
nation Of 100,000,000. In fact she has
only 35000,0o0 people. The sooner
rrenchmen realize that their present
lnte rnaTional policy is absolutely un-
real ard dangerous the better for
France and the world"
During the war Professor Miller was
director Of the Mid-European Union,
with headquarters at Washington.
"The formation of the Little Entente
proves" Professor Miller said, "that
our aims were right. The Little En-
tente may yet form the nucleus of
United States of Southeastern Europe.
That is the guiding idea of President
Masaryk"

Turkish Princes
Threaten to Join
SQlltan's Enemies
Royal Kinsfolk Say Ruler Is
Too Weak to Protect
Dynasty; Nationalists Re.
fuse Wilson's Boundary

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 20 (By
The Associated Press).-Princes Of the
imperial dynasty at conference yes
terday voiced threat to break their
allegiance to the Sultan and to join
the cause Of the Turkish Nationalists.
The princes were offended because the
apartments of Abdul Mejid Effendi,
heir presumptive to the throne, were
searched recently. They declared the
Sultan was unable to protect his
dynasty from insult.
At the conference, held at the palace
Of Osman Fouad Effendi, cousin Of the
Sultan, resolution was adopted de-
claring the princes reserved the right
to break their allegiance. Prince
Mehmed Selim Effendi, another cousin
of the Sultan, declared that until now
he had refused offers to join the Ma
ttlonaiists, but added that, "as Sultan
Is apparently a servant Of the Grand
Vizier," he might change his mind.
Three members of the Turkish Cabi-
net have resigned because they have
been unable to bring about q com.
promise agreement with the Turkish
Nationalists by which the treaty be-
tween Turkey and the Allies may be
carried out. Their action makes the
selection Of new ministry necessary.
1t is threatened that if the National
lists refuse to submit the Sultan will
ratify the peace treaty by royal de-
cree or else call the Crown Council to
ratlfy it, the same as when the treaty
was signed. To all this the National
lists are turning deaf ears.
While the Nationalists are friendly
to Americans, they have declared they
will not recognize President Wilson'S
Armenian boundary line if it gives the
three eastern vilayets to Armenia. with
or without Trebizond. 1t is assumed
President Wilson's line will be an
nounced after ratification of the treaty.
The Armenians are holding to the
belief that President Wilson will in
clude Trebizond in the new Armenia
in deciding the boundary claims. The
Greek committee for the territory of
the ancient Kingdom Of Pontus, in the
northeastern corner of Asia Minor
bordering the Black Sea, has tele-
graphed President Wilson, however,
setting forth its claims to Trebizond. |
The purpose of the committee appears
to be to abandon the plan for Pontus !
republic and to seek to make the prov /
lnce Greek dependency.
Fearing the loss of Constantinople |
to the Greeks. the Turks are secretly |
valuable documents and re-
ligious treasures and transferring them
to the residence Of the Sheik-ul-Islam
and other sacred buildings.
