MUNSEY TAXES OVER INTERESTS
 OF BENNETT
No Announcement of Plans
 Until Properties Are Inspected.

New York, Jan. 15.---FTank A. Nun sey, magazine and newspaper pub fisher, who last night purchased the New York Herald, the New York Evening Telegram and the Paris edi- tion of the Herald, said today that he would have no announcement to make concerning his plans for these news papers until he has had an oppor-tu- nifty to study his new properties. He declined to disclose the price paid. While the deal was not completed ur- til last night, he said, negotiations had been in progress for several weeks.
 Announcement of the change was made in today's Herald by Rodman Wanamaker and the Guaranty Trust company as executors of the estate of James Gordon Bennett.
 The Herald, commenting editorially on the sale, recalls the friendship be- tween MT. Munsey and the late James Gordon Bennett, and adds:
 ''The sale of the newspaper to MT Munsey is in accord with the spirit of Mr. Bennett s'will, his ~r'af desire az therein expressed being that the Her. i ald be continued and developed, to 'be an enduring monument to its great fonuder.''
 The Herald was founded by James
 Gordon Bennett, ST., and made its |

 don Bennett, Jr., upon the elder Ben

 MORE HARM THAN GOOD IN RUSSIA
General Gaida Declares Alb solute Bolshevism or
 Monarchy Will Reign.

Vladivostok, Jan. 15.-General Ru- dolph Gaida, formerly commander Of the Czecho- -Slovak forces in Siberia, declared before he left here for Shanghai that "the Allies are doing Russia more harm than the Bolshe- wiki and the sooner the ATffes leave it the better it will be for Russia
 General Gaida with his Czecho- Slovak troops defeated the Bolsheviki at Perm. He led the revolutionary movement which took place here No vember IS, was captured by govern ment authorities and agreed to leave Siberia.
 "An the Allies have done in Rus
 sia,'' he said to The Associated Press
 correspondent, 'is to support black monarchy - Kolchak, Denikine, Yu- nenitch and the Atamans. All the flu ture can hold is absolute monarchy or absolute Bolshevism. The Center group, the Social the Social Democrats and the other
 smaller groups of similar political l orientation will be unable to assume leadership. All Siberia west of Lake | Baika1 will fall to the Bolsheviki, and from Baika1 to the Pacific will | be Japanese dominated provinces con 1 trolled by the Atamans''~
 l General Gaida stated that he be- 1 lieved that the only people who can l tie Russia together again are those | who are now known as Bolsheviki. 1 These so-called Bolsheviki he term 1 ed them, are not the Reds of the | days of terror in European Russia. l Today, he said. there is a national | movement in Russia for a clear de- mocracy and that the crude form | which is now being displayed event.

 Urine of communism were gone from
 1t; personal rights in property had
 been established and were being
 maintained The world should know
 more of the facts regarding actual conditions in Siberia, Gaida said. 'The democratic movement is in- evitable,' he concluded.
 General Gaida was asked if in his . opinion the Allies could not aid in the realization of this pure democ- : racy of which he had spoken by lending aid to the government formed at Omsk and headed by Admtral 5 Kolchak. He laughed heartily. 8 "Ne, Ntkdy." he said, which is

WORLDS MOST COSTLY SHOW
International Horse Exhibit at Lon
don, England, Said to Be Entitled
to That Distinction.

The worlds most costly show is the
international horse show, which, after
a lapse during the war years, was
resumed this season. 1t is held at
the Olympia, London, England. and
those who have seen it say it is a
magnificent spectacle, equal to the
splendid pageants of ancient Rome
and Greece. This is largely due to
the high standard set by Lord Ions
dale when he inaugurated the show
fourteen years ago. He then made up
his mind to eclipse ANYTHING of the
kind ever attempted before, and he
succeeded. The huge hall was trans
formed into gigantic bower Of roses
banked With costliest exotics and
draped in silk. Nothing more beauti-
full had ever been seen in London.
About thirty thousand pounds ($15O,-
00O) was spent by him before ever
the doors were open but he got it all
back. and more in entrance money:
for the public, quick to appreciate
good thing, Hocked to Olympia in such
multiludes that even that huge build
ing could not contain them. and more
than twenty thousand people were
turned away from the doors during
the ten days the show lasted.

that explosive sounds travel much
farther than ordinary sounds. with a
velocity OF several times the normal.
The experiments OF DR., D. C. Miller

shown that the velocity at 100 feet
from a ten-inch gun is about 1,24O
feet per second. or % per cent above
normal; ut 200 feet from the gun, only
s per cent above normal; and at all
distances greater than 800 feet the
velocity of the explosive sound from
the largest gun is practically normal
