RECORD TRIP BY DOG TEAM
 FROM NOME

Thorulf Lehman, one of the lead ing merchants of Nome, and presi- dent of it's chamber of commerce, ar rived in Cordova on today's train, en route to the States to purchase goods to be shipped to his home town on the first steamer leaving Seattle next June.
 MT. Lehman came out over the trail, and was brought as far as Fair banks by Leonard Seppala with his racing team of sixteen Siberian dogs, which won the last two Alaska sweep stakes. They made a record trip, covering the 800 miles in fourteen days. An average distance of fifty seven miles was covered each day, and the best time made for a single day was seventy-five miles.
 From Fairbanks Mr. Lehman came to Chitina on the Brewer stage, which was a slow and tiresome trip, as nine teen days were consumed in making the journey.
 As MT. Lehman is at the head of the Nome Chamber of Commerce, meeting of the executive committee of the local chamber will be called that may be of mutual interest to Nome and COrdova

BERLIN. September 6-In German
military circles there is little conf
dence in Po7and's ability decisively to
defeat the soviet armies on the field
OF battle. and this view. they claim, is
being strengthened daily by the re-
ports of military observers who are
constantly reaching Berlin.
II one is to accept as true the
statements of these people and the
opinions of the German military ex-
perts. the reports sent out from War
saw. Paris and Switzerland as to the
extent OF the Polish victories have
been exaggerated
one high German officer maintained
that these reports of Polish successes
IN the field were for the purpose OF
gaming allied support. He also pro-
iessed to believe that there was a
touch OF propaganda in some of the
reports OF such successes. He also
maintained that a running bolshevist
army did not mean routed army by
any means. and as proof of this he
called attention to the rapid move
ments OF both the Poles and reds on
various occasions
There has been little real fighting
on the northern Polish front" he
said. When either side falls back 1t
is to gain breathing space. The whole
world would be surprised If it could
see the true casualty list of his cam
paign."

Whatever our sentiments toward
the Russians may be, the fact re-
mains that they have not given proof

but I have now abandoned this op>n-
ion." Prof. Ballod told the German
radicals. He was pessimistic regard
ing Russia's food resources. when,
he said, were heavily influenced by
climatic conditions. which nave
brought about scarcity in the so
called BLACK soil districts, the en-,
tire Volga region. he asserted. wouia
that there were not sufficient supplies
in sight for the needs of the popula-
ton.
The transportation collapse in Rus
sia, he declared. also had been de-
structive in it's effects on the rehabil-
itation Of the country. while the COM
plete deprecia ton of paper money had
resulted in peasants refusing to sur
render their products, in SO far as
they possessed any.
Prof. Ballod urgently advised
against recommending that German
workers settle in Russia.
Industrial production of soviet Rus
STA. he said. has fallen to about one
sixth of its former volume. This. he
explained. is due partially to lack OF
raw materials, the peasant refusing TO
give up fax and other products in ex-
change for paper currency. and also
because of unalterable opposition to
the underlying principles Of the soviet
government. The sugar industry. he
lid. has wholly collapsed. while coal
production in the Doretz basin is only
one-sixth of the former yield. He as
serted that Russia's rich oil lands

transportation difficulties

in the idealism Of the soviet leaders.

Okuma, one Of Japan's elder states
men. receiving the party of visiting
American congressman today and adj
dressing his visitors, asked that
Japanese be given a free hand in
Korea and China, where her inten-

the betterment of conditions
Sixty years had elapsed without the
unification of the civilizations of the
east and the west for which he had
constantly striven, said the marquis,
but he was convinced eventually that
would materialize.
The immigration question bristles
with difficulties. continued Marquis
Okuma, but he was hopeful of an
amicable solution because he had faith
in the intelligence of the American
legislators.
Japan. he pointed out. had acquiesced
in the American annexation Of Hawaii
and the occupation of the Philippines,
accepting the explanation that it was
for the benefit of the people affected.
Similarly. he added, America should
recognize Japan's good intentions in
Korea and Siberia.

WILL USE NO MONEY
Big Eastern Concern Plans lnno-
 vation in Business.
Will Use Checks and Trade Accent ances to Make Payments of
 All Kinds.

Rochester, N. Y.--A large business house having headquarters in this city has undertaken to conduct it's affairs entirely without the use of money. Instead of currency, it intends 10 use checks, trade aeceptances and travel checks to make payments of every Kind, including its pay roll. AS the concern deals with more than 500 GOO individual customers, the result of the experiment will be watched with inter- est.
 The company's reason for adopting this method is given as an effort to demonstrate means of ending the epidemic of payroll robberies and sto snow that modern business may be conducted most efficiently without the use of small change thus leaving the nations money where if belongs, in fine banks, to serve as the basis of credit"
 The announcement says even car Fares, hotel bills and railroad fares for the eompany's force of several hum dred salesmen and other sundries are fe be paid by check.
 All petty items, even the one-cent postage stamp, will be paid hepceforth by check, and mo currency of any amount or denomination is to be car- ried in any form as comapny prop srty."
 To meet the pay roll of its factory, fhe company has offered to employees either regular pay check or the op- fion of receiving on pay day deposit slip. showing that his earnings for the week have been deposited to his credit in a local bank. This plan is expected by the house to prove popu- aar with the thrifty class of employees and to increase the volume of bank deposits. Executive employees who nave no banking account have been ad- gised to start one at once.

So many things had hap pened since he walked that path with her that it seemed long. long ago; and II WAS only EeSteIudy.
