1t was suggested to Senator Harding
that his conferences constitute the
keeping of a campaign pledge, and he
replied: "Precisely that. At some time
in the near future I hope to be able to
show what progress we are making, but
right now l prefer to keep my own
counsel. I want the people who are

really think, not what they object to In

Russian Count Held
At Ellis Island on

Former General in Cars
Army, Passenger Aboard
Aquitania, Is Taken Off
Ship: Reason Is Withheld

Count a. Cherep Spirdovitch. a
major general of the Imperial Russian
Army, who came to this country yes
terday on the Cunard Liner Aquitania,
was interrogated aboard the vessel at
Quarantine by the INN igration Of
ticals and subsequently taken to Ellis
Island
The count, who was here on visit in
1908, was a fellow passenger with
Washington r. Vanderlip, the American
engineer who had been to Petrograd
negotiating for concessions with Soviet
government of. Russia.
The immigration authorities said
that the Russian general was detained
on orders from Washington and that
he would have hearing before a
special board of inquiry on Monday.
Count Spiridovicii expressed much
surprise over his deocntion He said
he had nothing in common with the
Bolsheviki and showed printed
circular with extracts from his re-
view Of an anti-Bol olshevik book writ
ten by John Pollock. The General be-
rated the Soviet government and said
that if governments were moved by
evidence not one of them would have
dealings with the Bolsheviki, diplo-
matically or commercially.
Among the saloon passengers was
Alexander Albert Mcuntbatten, Mar
guess of Carisbrooke. He is the son
Of Princess Beatrice, fifth daughter of
the late Queen Victoria of England
and is brother of Queen Victoria of
Spain.
The marques said that he is 8
director of the Lnmport g. Holt Line

here to inspect the company's ter.

city he will be the guest of Genera

Monday they will probably be put to
the Premier, despite his expressed
hope that discussion would be avoided.
The most important development will
he the Sim Fem decision regarding
conferences. Ireland's firmest friends
here are urging the Sim Fein mod
crates to take advantage Of the govern
ment's offer Immediately, arguing that
to show moderation is lreland's surest
way of checking the coerclonists On
this side Of ST. Georges Channel. For
instance, The Westminster Gazette
says: "Irishmen are politicians enough
to know that the position of the Pre-
micr makes it necessary for him to pay
certain tolls to diehurds in his coall-
ton for any advance toward a peace
settlement, and we hope they have
good sense enough not to rate this par.
of his performance too high"
Newspapers which consistently ad-
vocated force in settling the Irisf,
policy, which indicates they believe co
ercion rather than Cancellation will be
used. The Morning Post says:
GAS we understand Lloyd Georges
policy the proposed conferences are
not to discuss amnesty for murderers
and criminals, nor measures to be
taken by the British government to en-.
force Law. nor any matter connected
with rebellion, but all these things are
being covered by expressed determine
ton Of the government to suppress re.
hellion. The assumption is that the
conference will deal solely with the fu-
ture government of Ireland, and such
discussion necessarily i inv " -
rosals affecting the Home Rule bill
That circumstance is another illustra-
ton Of the fatuity Of bringing forward
the Home Rule bill under existing con-

tain school of thought exists in Japan
which might be characterized as anti
American, it is not believed that Wis.,
count Ishii had in mind any Difference
to this opinion when he disclosed
Japan's military intentions. On the
other hand. it was believed here that
the declaration by the Japanese diplo-
mat might have been for the purpose
of drawing out this government on the
matter of future military strength.
The feeling is general here that the
American government must, have an
army and naval force that is second to
none, and that steady progress will be
made toward attaining this end until
all nations agree on stated policy
of eventually reducing their military
force to figure that shows a general
equality.

Moscow Serene as Summers Day
There is perfect peace and quiet all
over Russia, Mr.. Vanderlip said. He
said that "Moscow was as serene as a
summers day on the banks of the
Wabash"
The people are solidly behind the
Bolshevik government" said Mr.. Van
derlip. There are law and order
throughout Russia. The stories Of
peasant revolts are all rot. There are
not more than 100 policemen in the
whole of Moscow-one in every mile.
IN fact, you can't find policeman. I
walked home at o'clock in the morn
ing, unarmed and unattended, and l
met only one policeman. Think OF
such situation being possible in New
York. | say let the light in on Russia
ism and Communism forever"
DO you mean to say the present gov
ernment will be overthrown ?" Mr.. Van
derlip was asked.
"Oh, no, l don't mean that The
government will remain in the hands
of the same people. Lenine is a ge-
MUS He will realize that he must
drop his present policies. Russia will
go back to republic and to a system
of competition. That is inevitable if
Russia is to revive. Every other OBJ
server has said the same thing"
Freedom of Press and Speech
Mr. Vanderlip said that there is per-
feet freedom in ussia-frcedom of
press, speech and assembly. He said
tae Boishevik government was one of
the freest on earth.
"There is no dictatorship in Russia, -
he said. "Lenine and Trotzky are aot
dictators. Lenine has to fight for his
life every thirty days before the ALL
Russian Executive Committee. He is
there by the sulferance Of the Rus san
people. Everybody votes in Russia
nomically the horrible example. 1t has
taught the world lesson, so that no.
body will be tempted to repeat the ex-
pertinent"
Mr.. Vanderlip also denied the charge
Of rampant graft in Russia. He said
graft had been cleaned out by the Boil
sheviki, Except in the lower levels of
onicialdom." He said he offered Lit
vinoff box of cigars, and the latter
would not accept it. He produced, in
proof, Litvinoff's card, with note writ
ten in English, in which Litvln &
thanked him for the box of cigars, "oue
hundred of them, at 81 apiece" but re-
fused to accept them. The note said
that Litvinotf was turning over the
cigars to Karachan, another prominent
Bolshevik official.
$50 you didn't get back the cigars? p
Mr. Vanderlip was asked.
"No. ] guess Litvinotf did not want
tc 90 to the extent Of actually return
ing Them"
Eeseged by British Bankers
MIR. Vanderlip said that, while on his
arrival in london he was at first
rdiculcd in. the press and financial
circles, his proposition later came to
be recognized as genuine.
81 was besieged by British bankers
and promoters with requests to lei
them in on it, but I said nothing
aoing,'" said Nv. Vanderlip.
He said that on the day of his de.
parture for America it was proposed
to him by Lloyd Georges secretary
that he meet the Premier.

HOW DOLLAR WORKS FOR YOU
Benjamin Franklin's Fund of SIS, 900
Grew to $431 1888 in One Hun
dred Years

How the dollar invested works for
the individual himself has been best
illustrated by that first great Ameri-
can teacher of thrift Benjamin
Franklin. In 1871, he bequeathed
E1,000 (S5,0O0) to the common.
wealth of Massachusetts and to the
city of Boston as a mark of his appre-
citation for having appointed him as
agent in England at the handsome
salary of $4,000 ($1000O) and to
make his bequest really valuable with
mis- great foresight Franklin provided
in his will that this $1,000 should be
put out at 5 per cent interest for one
hundred years; that at the end of
that time 31-131 of the fund accumu-
lated should again be put out at in
terest for another hundred years and
then the fund be divided one-fOurth to
Boston and three-fourths to the state.
Let US show how we'll that 1000
Of Franklin's has worked. AT the end
Of the first hundred years it had
grown to S431 ,3S3.62. 1t was then d.
vided in accordance with the will !;
1929, 30O4S was set aside for public
work" and S1O2OS3.14 was started on
its course of earning interest for an
other hundred years. That was In
1891. January /, 1918, this sum had
grown to $2G7, S05.15 and at this rate
of increase the fund should amount
to at least six million dollars when
the second period is completed, and
may be considerable more.-World's
