MARTENS TELLS
SOVIET SECRETS
Explains How Russia Attempted
to Establish Trade Rela-
tions With Americans.

Washington, Feb. T.-More testi-
mony regarding Russian soviet gov

tions with Americans business con-
Germs was given today when the senate
subcommittee investigating soviet
activities in the United States re-
sumed its examination of Ludwig c.
A. K. Martens, self-styfed Soviet am
basSador''
Chairman Moses presented protests
from the Packard Motor Car Company
and the Westinghouse Electric Com
pany against Martens assertions that
they bad sought to trade through him
with Russia. Martens conceded it was
possible they had been merely solic-
tied to sell goods and had not sought
orders.
Martens read d letter he wrote the
state department formally demanding
possession of $2S,000, 900 worth of rail-
way equipment, bought in the United
States by the former regime in Russia,
to which he has received no response

Ellis asked.

Bucharin was in the United States
for three months, from December. 1917,
Martens added.
Ellis read an alleged statement of
Leon Trotzky, crediting him with urg-
ing his Russian associates in this
country to stay here and conduct a
revolution. This, Martens said, was
"a dirty lie like lots of others.
Ellis read declarations of principles
from the soviet constitution for the
disarming of all classes of the popu-

poorest peasants"

HAVE ACCEPTED
LIPTON'S Def
Series of Three Races For
America Cup Will Be Held
Off Sandy Hook in July.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE New York
Yacht club formally announced this
afternoon acceptance of Sir Thomas
Lipton's challenge for the Americas
cup. A series of the best three out
of five races will begin July Is off
Sandy Hook.
The acceptance of the challenge by
the New York club means that for
the thirteenth time since the Amer
ica's cup was won and brought here
from England in the early fifties, a
foreign yacht will attempt to recapture
the trophy. Sir Thomas Upton, of
the Royal Ulster Yacht club, Belfast,
Ireland, will make his fourth attempt
to lift the cup. This year he will
place his trust in the Shamrock "
which he brought here in 1914 for the
purpose of competing for the interna-
tional yachting prize.
Owing to the war which began early
in August of that year the scheduled
regatta had to be postponed indefi-
nitely Sir Thomas had started his
challenge across the ocean before the
declaration of war between England
and Germany and the yacht was or
dered to put into Bermuda for safety.
Later in the summer the Shamrock
w arrived here and was boarded up
in Drydock in a New Shipyard.
Recently Sir Thomas inspected the
challenge at her Brooklyn quarters
and declared that he was perfectly
satisfied with her condition.
In 1914 and 1915 trial races took
place between the American yachts
Resolute, Vanitie and Defiance to de-
termine which of them should have
the honor of being chosen as the
Americas cup defender. Resolute won
"a of these contests, Vanite finished
first in the other six. Defiance only
raced in the 1914 trials finishing sec
ond three times. During the follow
ing year Defiance was turned into a
houseboat and her chance to take any
further part in the preparations for
the race vanished with her recon-
struction.
1t is generally believed that the
Resolute will be the defending boat
in this years contest. She was de-
signed by the Herreshoffs for a syn
dicate of prominent New York yachts
men who, it is reported. have placed
"a new order for two different sets
of sails for the yacht. This is taken
as an almost sure indication that
Resolute will be the defender.
The history of the ocean race classic
yacht America, owned by several
yachtsmen, was sent to London, Eng
land, as an exhibit of fore-and- -aft
vessels built in this country. Her
owners challenged all corners and fl
nally entered the Yankee craft IN
regatta for a cup which had been Of
fered for yachts from all nations. Six
teen yachts started in this contest on
August %, 1851. The start was from
Cowes, Isle of Wight, and the course
sailed was around that island. The
starting gun was fired at 10 a. m.
and at S:35 p. m, the America came
to anchor off Cowes, winning the race
and prize, which ever since has been
known as the Americas cup. The

finished second beaten by Is min

ConStantlnople, Feb. 1.-THE Ameri-

to mean that all Americans had es-

There is much uneasiness concerning

ization of the Dardanelles, which had
been forecast, was decided upon
definitely by the allied supreme coun-
Gil today. The details of the control
of the waterway, however, have not
been worked out.
One of the big questions to be de-
cided is the policing Of the straits,
and a knotty problem is as to who
will furnish the necessary troops.
Further than deciding that Con-
stantinople is to remain under Turk
ish control, the council has not drawn
a definite boundary line. Details such
as the exact frontiers remain to be
decided.
Three commissions were set up by
the council today in connection with
Turkish peace. One is to decide upon
the boundaries of the Armenian re-
public and to report on the Turkish
finances, and the third is to examine
into the Greek claims in the Smyrna
territory which were dwelt upon at
length by Premier Venizelos in his
statement of yesterday. All the COM
missions are expected to report TO the
council the latter part of the week.
