SOVIET NOW ANGLES
FOR GERMAN TRADE

Berlin, June 10. (By MailD-Ex-
change of prisoners between Ger
many and Russia is on in full swing.
Conclusion of an agreement between
the German and Soviet governments
made this possible, but now as a re-
suit of the agreement the soviet re
preventative here, Wigdon Kopp, CON
tends that Germany has recognized
sovietism as the de facto government.
He points to the text of the treaty
made between the German govern
ment' and the Russian soviet gov
eminent as proof of his claim.
The hope of the soviet that the pris-
oner agreement would quickly lead
to wider agreement, namely, bust
ness treay has not been fulfilled, and
the indications are that it will not be
consummated for some time to come
In fact, the foreign office has let it
be known that it doubts Russia's
claims as to ability to deliver the
goods, while in a recent speech in the
Bavarian parliament Secretary Won

Russian elaine were exaggerated and
her transportation situation such that
she could not be a trade factor for
some while yet
Meanwhile, Kopp stays on in Berlin.
In fact, he operates quite openly, as
the German government considers him
an accredited agent and he now has
offices in Inter den Linden.
Many persons foresee the possibility
that ultimately Germany-not Eng
land or any other power-will be the
one to exploit Russia. Japan is con-
stantIy making friendly statements
about Germany, and some observers
consider these as the forerunner of
an eventual agreement between the
Nipponsee and the Teutons wherein
Germany will exploit Russia. and Ja-
pan exploit China.
For the present, however, this re-
mains only possibility. Germany is
IN no position to undertake any ex-
tensive business in Russia now. But
Germany has always had strong re-
presentation in Russia and her bust
ness men know Russia, her language.

AWARD OF HIGHWAY
CONTRACTPROBABLF
BID REGARDED FAYORBLY
Damascus, VilOnia and Palarm High.
ways Likely to be Awarded to
Oliver Construction Co.

After spending the entire day re
ceiving proposals from three con-
tractors, the commissioners of the
Damascus, Vilona and Palarm high
way Improvement districts late yes
terday decided the bid submitted by
the Oliver Construction Company as
the most acceptable and adjourned to
meet again on Friday, July Is, when
it is probable that contracts will be
entered into with this company.
The bid was accompanied by an Of
fer submitted by NJ. W. Elkins and
j. NJ. Reams, representing W. B.
Worthen & Company and other bank
ing institutions for the bond issues
of the three districts at par, the dis
count of the bonds to be borne by the
contractor. The price for the work,
however, was practically the same as
that tentatively accepted by the boards
several weeks ago in a bid from the
P. J. Lewelling Construction Com
pny, which could not be consummated
on account of inability to dispose of
the bonds.
The Oliver Construction Company is
one of the largest concerns of the
kind operating in the south. They
have the contract for the 100000
highway from Little Rock to Hot
Springs. On account of the discovery
of a flaw in the act creating this dis
trict, it was necessary to suspend work
on the Hot Springs highway until the
Legislature meets again, and it was
on this account that the contractor was
able to make low bid on the Faulkner
county work, as he has a large force
of men and teams and other equipment
which would otherwise be idle.
H. B. Oliver, who submitted the
bid for his company, said he could
transfer big lot of teams and ma
chinery Immediately upon the signing
of the contract and could get the ma
jority of the earth work completed
by next winter. If nothing interferes
with closing the contract, the con-
tractor will probably begin to move
dirt before the first of August. He
said the entire work would be COM
pleted within IS months.
If all three districts award con-
tracts, total of so miles will be
put under construction. The con-
tracts will provide for a complete job,
including grading, culverts and
bridges and hard-surf acing. The cul-
verts will be of concrete or iron pipe
and the bridges will be of steel frame
work, with concrete floors. The
hard-surfacing will be macadam with
asphalt binder, IA feet wide and nine
inches thick. The cost of all three
jobs will be approximately S1,000,-
900.

coastine in Wake of Boat.

Passengers on one of the Hudson riv- CT ferries in New York were treated in the summer of 1919 to the odd spec tacle of canoe sailing in their wake, all the way across the river, withoutt any means of propulsion. What made| the canoe go was question that puz-l zled many. The more observant no-{ ticed that the canoe did not keep to thel smooth water directly aft the ferry-| boat, but rode off to one side, in the} rough waves that the paddle wheels| kicked up. They also noticed that the} canoe did not hug the ferryboat close,3 and that often 1t pursued its mysteri-} ous course at a considerable distance,l though it travelled just as fast as theI ferryboat. According to writer inl the Scientific American who explains( the mystery, the canoe always took al position on the forward side of waves and kept it all the way across. The wave carried inc canoe along as the surf carries the Hawaiian on his surf board.
