The bus is cutting into the sue
cessful operation OF street cars and
the people cannot have both" Ham
declared.
The motor bus is a fine thing az

but that time has passed to make
way for the motor bus
There is no longer any need for
a tremendous outlay. Tracks ant

necessary for the operation Of tht
motor bus, and, without any addi

diverted at will. Nothing can in

New Britain herald., 1921-03-31

The army which is the Instrument
of their government in Ireland would
also seem to be the instrument Of the
destruction of that moral heritage
which was their glory and which cast
it's lustre on each and all Of them
The sun of that glory seems finally
to have set over Ireland. British
Justice has become discredited
thing. The official Black and Tans in
Ireland compete for the dishonor of
Anglo Saxon civilization with our un-
official lynch mobs. We hope
that the wrong done to Ireland may
be righted and the agony of her peo-
pie cease. When these things shall
be the great British people will
emerge from the darkness that now
Encompasses them into the glory of
a new day.

On the other hand, according to

DAUCHERTY TO ACT
ON NECRO'S PLEA
Convicted Slayer of Naval
Nurse May Be Granted
Another Reprieve.

BALTIMORE, July 6.-There u
more than possibility that Henry
A Brown, the negro who was con-
yicted OF numbering Miss Harriet
N. Kavanaugh, a nurse at the Naval
Academy Hospital. will not DC
hanged for the crime, in keeping
with a sentence imposed by United
States District Judge John c. Rose
At least this is deduced from eN-
plantations made today at the office
Of the Attorney General Dougherty
in Washington in giving reasons
for the two reprieves granted TO
Brown.
According to W. Frank Gibbs, as
sistant to Attorney General Daugh-
erty, the testimorv of several i'm
portant witnesses which Browns
conviction was =. ably brought
about. is conflicting in essential de-
tails. which accounts for the re-
prieves granted and raises serious
doubt as TO whether Brown will be
hanged.
However. Gibbs said the fate OF
Brown depends largely upon the
findings of James A. Finch, attor-
ney in charge of psrdons OF the
Department Mr.. Finch is now en-
gagged in reviewing the testimony
in the case. and his decision will
probably be made public in a few

Russia's Business Entree
of Europe Is Booming

LONDON. July 6.-Soviet Rus
sia's business invasion of Europe
has started with a boom, according
~ the Russian trade delegation
here today.
So lar $4,000. 900 worth of goods
have been purchased in Europe and
states. Fifteen mixed 'cargoes of
merchandise were shipped to Petro-
grad from England last month.
The Bolshevists purchases are
made through ARGOS. the all Rus
sian cooperative society. Euro
pean statesmen, in the midst of
business depression, are said to be
welcoming this ready market, and
to he besieging the ARGOS offices,
despite door plates decorated with
battle hags of the Soviet Legions.
America is represented by foocs
of samples with quotations on
everything from sewing machines
to pipes.
Leonard Krassin. Soviet emissary
TO London, gives the following fig-
ures of Bolshevist purchases in
Western Europe and America:
Germany, sSo.000. 600.
England. $20.oo0.o00
Sweden, SIC, 1000, 900.
United States. s10.000,000
Total sl00.0o0,o00
How is Soviet Russia going to
pay for these Goods?" the ARGOS
headquarters was asked.
I'VE have set aside a definite sum
OF the Russian gold reserve for for
eign purchases. The accusation
that this reserve is exhausted is az
surd" was the reply.
