WILSON'S RULINGS
MAY BE REVERSED

tons With RHssia-Appeal of
Soyfeis at Capitol
WASHINGTON. March %

WASHINGTON. March 23.-Early
consideration is to be given to relations
between the United States and Soviet
Russia. il was indicated today at the
state department. This decision was
reached independent OF the appeal from
the Soviet government to President Hard
ing and the American government for a
RESUMPTION of trade relations between
the United States and Russia That ap-
peal reached the state department from
the White House.
Formal announcement of any change
in the relations between the two coun-
tries. or in any of the rulings by the
Wilson administration. may not be made
for some time but 1t was made clear
that already certain notifications of
those rulings either are under considera-
tien or have been made.
In the event of an agreement by the
United States to treat with the SoYiets, it
was indicated that no technical bars
would be placed against the entry into
the United States of delegation. which
a Moscow wireless despatch to London
said the Soyiets proposed to send here to
negotiate 4 trade agreement.
The announcement i'll press dispatches
from Stockholm that a quantity of Rus
sian gold Is now on the way from that
place to the United States developed that
the American government would not raise
the question Of the metals origin. 1t was
explained, however. that the parties to
whom it was consigned would accept it at
their own risk.

SPRING HIGHWAY
WORK PROGRESSING
High and Oak Streets Among Those to
BE Improved This Spring-WOrk
on Vernon Street.

Taking advantage of the early spring
conditions. Road Commissioner Charles j.
Dube already has considerable force of
men at work on the highways through
out town and as the season advances he
plans to widen the scope of his activities.
The labor market is much easier this
spring than it has been for several years
and Mr.. DUDE intends to take advantage
of this situation.
Yesterday saw a good sized force at
work on Vernon street and as a result
of their activity that highway as far
south as the Vernon line is in as good a
condition as anyone could ask for. In
fact. Mr.. DUDE said this morning that
there wasn't a better piece of gravel
road in the state just at the present mo-
ment.>
Another force of men has been busy
scraping off the surface of Oak street
and upper High street preparatory to put
ting in a crushed stone foundation at
these points. Oak street from High to
Howard streets has been in need of at
tention for long time and Commissioner
Dube's plan is to put in heavy founda-
tiOn of crushed rock and surface it with
gravel The same treatment Will be given
High street from Oak street corner to the
top of the HILL
The towns road crushing plant on
South Main street will be in operation
within short time and this viii greatly
