DEVILS HOME CUTTLEFISH
IN DEATH FIGHT ON CARONIA
Monster Takes Passage Aboard Liner on High Comber
and Tries to Breakfast on Carpenter, Who Is
Rescued by Ten Sailors, One for Each Tentacle.

There was no news OF q personal
nature aboard the Cunarder Caronia, in
yesterday from Liverpool and Queens
town, but there were a six foot cuttle-
fish and a handy publicity agent, who
by dipping his quill pen. plucked from
the gooseneck OF the mainmast, into
the inky sepia of the cuttlefish. was
enabled to give out local color octopus
yarn. The cuttlefish, being quite dead
in the ships icebox, could not contra
dict it. and Ship News received it with
case hardened equaninlity. No other
liner ever has brought a cuttlefish
shipped at sea into the port Of New
York, and that in itself is worth tell
ing. Then there is the testimony OF
the ships carpenter. John Taggart, who

the Libey1e Lucian Dior, Minister Of
Commerce. has continued the present
monopoly system under the guise Of
waiting for the liquidation OF existing
stocks. amounting 70 100000 tons
A group OF refners in close contact
with American interests offered TO buy
these stocks outright from the Ministry
OF Commerce on condition that they
be permitted 10 import oil freely from
sources where they could buy 1t at
best advantage. They even showed an
offer by the Standard Oil Company to
supply 100000 tons OF oil at the cur
rent price in the United States and
promised to fixe the selling price Of the
entire 100000 tons al midway between
the Ministrys sale price and the pur-
chase price in the United States.
However. the offer did not reach ii.
Dior. but was sidetracked by under
officials with a view. according to re-

ments are quite well known. Lenine, II
was declared, regarded Nj. Lloyd
Georges assertion as calculated 70 DO
him considerable harm among his Boil
shevist followers.
Following objections by the Russian
Soviet Government to the appointment
of either Mr.. Groves or Mr.. Hoare as
British representetiv In Russia, Great
Britain has named for the MOSCOW post
Robert MoEeon Hodgson one time Brit
ish Consul in vladivostok and snbse-
auently in chage OF the British High
Commission IN Omsk.
The Bolsheviki objected TO Mr.. Groves.
who formerly was British Consul In
Moscow and who was Colonel in the
British army in the war, on the ground
that he was anti i-Bolshevist The fact
that all of Mr.. Groves's Russian friends
were officials or supporters OF the old
regime in Russia made Lenine fear that
the headquarters Of the British repre-
sentative in Moscow would become the
rendezvous Of reactionsries OF the
''whitest' hue.
Mr. Hodgson has no more leaning
toward Bolshevism than has Mr. Groves
or Mr.. Hoare but the Reds like him be-
cause while he was in VladivostOk he
exhibited taste for learning every
viewpoint. even that OF the Bolsheviki.
Also they favored him for the breadth
of his mind, his democratic accessibility,
his great knowledge Of Russian affairs
and hts good working acquaintance with
the Russian language. In addition. Mr..
Hodgson is q good man for dealing with
commercial matters. Is a great favorite
with business men who know him and is
tireless worker
Al.g
they may rely on him to give 10 Lord

Foreign Affairs, true picture OF Rus
stan conditions, and not to give encour-
agement to anti-Bolshevist conspirators
in Russia. He is sent to Russia NOM

nothing more than a minor British Off

scheme. Representatives OF the capi-
talist countries come 10 our frontier
with offers of good DIS. and this makes the
mouth OF tho frontier otficials water
The foreigners offer goods and as we
need everything we buy everything
they offer.
But who risks sending goods across
our frontiersg Only the most daring
adventurers speculators ana smugglers.
who offer only rubbish for which there
is no demand in their own countries
The prices they ask for their goods are
the highest, because the sellers must
secure themselves against probable loss,
and most often we buy these goods, the
need for which is most urgent. Our ac-
tivfty in regard TO our foreign import
trade is equalled only by our inactivity
in regard to our export trade
Before the war each district in Rus
sia contributed something TO our export
trade. Are our local authorities carry
ing on any work for the purpose OF
ascertaining the export possibilities Of
their respective districts? No. none at
all. Thus we are disorganizing our for
eign trade relations at both ends First
we spend our gold reserve without any
reasonable scheme, and, second. we do
not collect any goods for export !
Fail to Guarantee SHINES.
1t is learned here that although Hugo
SHINES. German industrial leader and
manufacturer, made elaborate prepara-
tions to take over the exploitation or
the BryansS factory, he refused to sign
the contracts at the last moment be-
cause he could not obtain sufficient guar
antees eiNher that he would ge- any
money out OF the project or that the
lives of the Germans he would send into
Russia to work the factory would be
safe.
According to a man who has the repu-
tation OF being the best informed for
eign agent in Moscow, the Russian gold
reserve Is as follows.
In money from the old Imperial Treas
ury, 175.000, 900 rubles; in ingots, 49,
000,00 rubles in platinum, 535 pools.
Six milliard OF rubles are set down as
having been "requisitioned from the
bourgeoisie." but there Is no Indication
whether they were in gold or in notes
or both.
Lenine is rather pleased at the stern
tone of the American note regarding
trade between the United States and
Bolshevist Russia. according to one OF
the Red Cars" friends. He declared
Lenine found reason to be glad over the
attitude OF the Washington A5ministra- :
ton In refusing to recognize as a con-
dition anything but absolute proof that
there has been change Of heart on the
part OF Lenine in so far as SovietisYn is
concerned. The Washington note rather
counteracted the effect OF the assertion
by the British Prime Minister recently
that Lenine had abandoned Communism
and had made a speech before the Tenth
Communist Consress that might have
been worthy OF Winston Spencer

EMIGRANTS FOR US.
SECURED AT HAVRE
Baggage Is Disinfected as Men
and Women Are Thor
oughly Cleansed.

Special Cdbie 10 TIE NEW YoER HERALD.
COPYRIGHT Js2f. by THE NEW YORK HERALD.
HAvRE. April 24.--Although men and
women often are huddled together in un-
comfortable and even dirty shacks when
they reach Havre as emigrants bound
for America. this is not compulsory. "a
the emigraiits invariably have the option
of living In private hotels while waiting
to embark for the United States. a
correspondent for THE NEW YORK
HERALD visited the Havre inspection es-
tablishment to-day and was impressed
by the elaborate arrangements and sys-
tenn to prevent disease being introduced
into the United States from this port.
Az soon as emigrants reach Hayra
they are taken 10 a special dislnfectlon
camp IN the outskirts OF the city and
compelled to give up their baggage,
which Is opened and placed In high
pressure rumigator. Then, unless the
emtgrants choose 10 pass the night else
where, they are assigned TO cots In q
huge central house until the next morn
Ing, when the heads OF tho men are
shaved and the hair Of the women and
the children IL combe dand washed With
petrol solutions TO rid them OF all germs
and germ carriers. This is done under
tho direction OF French graduate nurses.
The doctors inspection follows this.
and as soon a. the emigrants are con
sidered clean, which Is usually on the
second day after their arrival at the
inspection station. they are permitted
to go TO private hotels or 10 special
emigrsnts' hotel. where they are able
to get three meals a day and comfort
able cots In dorfnitorfes for 10 francs
a day for the twelve-day quarantine
period, during which DR.. Ferguson, an
American physician. visits them fre-
quently 10 see IL they have any con-
tagious disease.
In these dormitories husbands and
wives arc allowed to remain together.
Indeed. It was said that wives refuse to
be separated from the money-carrying
member OF their family even for one
night.
The quarantine is not being applied
to any hut emigrants from Central
Europe. but hygienic precautions and
clothing disinfection are demanded from
Greeks, French, Spaniards. Germans and
Swiss.
The emigrant hotel is a model Of
cleannesa 1t was used during the wal
as Canadian hospital and everything
in It Is white. At night the large dining
hall is used as recreation room and q
dance hall.
The personal liberty of emigrants Is
not interfered with in the least and
they are even allowed TO so into the city
OF Havre during the day, with the re-
suit that international arguments re.
sulting from too much heavy wine are
common occurrences in the dormitories
the chief offenders being the Greeks ano
the Ruma mans
A majority Of the emigrants are
Czechs. who are remarkably docile. &C
cording to the manager OF the hotel
Poles also are numerous, but they seen
to be filled with new spirit of national
pride and seldom do the arrangement

Although some good windfails have

The men who are slipping across the
frontier to trade with Nikolai Lenine, or

They seem 70 impress the Bolsheviki

Do you realize what's happening? The public is on buying strike A "buy- ing strike" to 9 nation is what nun ger strike" is to an individual. Busi- ness is languishing today; and why? Because demand has fallen off? No, sir! Because there is lack of capital to carry on? Not at all. The demand is there, but you are stifling it. The Uni ted States and Canada have ample capital, and plenty of labor eager to work.
 The public is like moody, prosperous individual, hanging around the house. with money in his pocket, wanting lots of things, needing lots of things but harboring an obsession that he won't spend his money till prices come down to where they were six years ago. Prices didn't go up in a day. They can't come down in day. Prices went up gradually from 1914 to 1919. Prices went up step at time. They can't come down by the banister. They must come down the same way they went up.

the war so we'll was because business was good-people bought and sold. The only way we can PAY for the war is by buying and selling-trading. And, moreover, prices are down-for many commodities they are already down to lower level than they should be-things are selling for less than they cost to make. That is an impos- sible situation. If you won't buy the things the other fellow makes, HE can't buy the things you make. That is reasonable, is it not? And if he doesn't buy the things you make, the shutters will soon be up on your place of business. Those who are insistently determined to wait until things "crash" before they buy are. not doing human ity service. For nobody can sell things long at loss.
 The prices of overcoats, shoes, furni- ture, tires and, in fact, all other com modities are based on the cost of raw materials, labor, freight, etc, and profit to those who make, handle and sell them.

What is needed in this country more than any other one thing today is confidence we have the money and the resources. The whole world has been undergoing this period of readjustment as all nflation must be done away with and dollar will then be worth one hundred cents.
 Labor is beginning to realize that days pay demands days work" and ineffici- ency and indifference, together with stacking, will no longer be tolerated. Profiteering as practiced during the high markets will not be tolerated either.

 You should buy from the merchants; the merchants from the jobbers; the jobbers from the manufacturers. The manufac- turers would then be able to give employ mcnt to thousands of workmen and could purchase their raw material from the farms, mills and the mines, and thus give employment to thousands of other em- pioyes, and these employees would then buy from the merchants, and so--an end less chain.

But we can't survive buying strike" never theless. Business is a gigantic organi- zation, kept alive and active by trade coursing through it's veins. When trade stops circulating, business dies. Your particular trade can't flourish in splendid isolation. The articles you make can't sell to men "out of job" True thrift is always wise, but stub born refusal on the part of the public to buy the things they need NOW is simply slowing down the wheels of commerce that feed and clothe and house us ALL.
