Rotterdam, Holland, Nov. e.-Hol-
land has established great Gordon
along the German frontier to prevent
the influx of large numbers Of Rus
sian bolshevik agents from Germany.
Heavy guards ere maintained SO that
persons wishing TO cross the boundary
in either direction must pass thru
frontier posts and over recognized
highways. Those who attempt sur
reptitiously to cross the frontier run
the risk of being shot.
These precautions have failed,
however. to check the movement Of
soviet agents. Men whom the police
would like to interview. have been
seen in this city and in Amsterdam
but when the police set their dragnet
for their quarry the men wanted have
utterly vanished. The system followed
resembles "the underground" railroad
by which fugitive slaves moved thru
northern states to Canada in the days
before the American civil war.
~ It is declared here that Germany Is
almost as good a haven as Russia
for bolshevik agents" The under
ground railroad" is utilized by soviet
agents to bring into Holland bolshevik
missionaries" who are to make at
tempts to reach America.
Reports have been received here
that many bolshevik sympathizers
who were deported last year as aunde-
sirables from America are to be re-
turned to that country. Police off,
cials assert a special bureau has been
created here to take care Of this class
Of Immigrant" and carry out care
fully-laid plans for getting the agi-
tators back into the United States.

White River Junction Wins from
Woodsyille.

In a fast game played on the local
floor Wednesday, White River Junction
Legion team defeated the Woodsville
Legion team by the score of 1927. The
first period saw White River Junction
outplay Woodsville but in the second
and final period Woodsville woke up
and played rafting good game as
long as their wind lasted. For the Wis
itors Hanley and Blood put up an ex-
celicnt game, putting in some dandy
shots, while for the Woodsville team
Sweeny seemed strong with seven clean
baskets and Smith followed with five.
Stinson, Woodsville center, although a
little man, compared with White River,
proved man Of exceptional ability and
only his smallness prevented him from
turning defeat into victory. Kirk was
taken out in the second period on ac-
count of injuries. The game was clean
throughout, only four fouls being called
and all were pardonable. The lineup:

played an excellent game, scoring the
largest number of points. Their shoot
ing for fouls was also good. Wells
River to win must use more time in
practice, particularly in shooting. You
