INTER-CITY POLICE WIRELESS SOON TO
 BE IN OPERATION

(By International News Seryice)
 SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2. -- Cim- munication via wireless between pO- lice departments over the country in an effort to capture fugitive crim- inals will soon become reali:Y, ac, cording to Chief Ian OBrien. of the San Francisco police department.
 Chief O'Brien was appointed q member of a committee. named at the recent international convention of police chiefs in St. Louis, to work out plans for the installation of such a system, which it is claimed will make the apprehension of criminals more rapid as wei las less expensive. The plan os to install a wireless con nection between all large cities and use code entirely when furnishing a description of the criminal wanted. By the wireless plan all cities could be furnished information concerning the person wanted simultaneously which would eliminate much time now lost, through telegraphing every city.
 Tentative plans looking into the es- tablishment of wireless network will be taken up in the near future, Chief O'Brien announced.

DENIES REEDS CHARGE
FOOD FUND AIDED ARMY
Grove Says Congressional Relief
Fund Used Only for Civilian
SnffararS
Sufferers.

NEW YORK, January 6.-Reply to
Senator Reeds charges in the Senate
yesterday that $40,000,000 of the
$3.50 100000 appropriated by Congress
for European relief was spent ito keep
the Polish army in the field" was
made in a telegram to Senator Reed
by William r. Grove. former Ameri
can Army colonel, who had charge of
the distribution Of all food under the
appropriation, acting under the gem
eral direction Of Herbert Hoover.
The telegram, made public by Mr.
Grove, declared that the senator had
been misinformed. Food purchased
through the appropriation had gone
strictly to the civilian population, it
said.
Declaring there were three distinct
activities in Poland which may
have led to confusion in your mind"
Mr.. Groves message informed Sena-
tor Reed that the Army liquidation
board, over which the relief admins
tration had no authority, sold to the
Polish government many thousands
of tons of surplus American Army
rations and supplies in return for
Polish government obligations, and
some portion of this foodstuff was
used for the Polish army.
He insisted that this has. how
ever, nothing to do with the congress
sional relief appropriation.
imately $4,70O,00O worth of milk had
been distributed to Polish children,
and that this was the only loss to the
American people through the appro-
priation. The Polish government
gave treasury notes in payment for
$50 100000 worth of food shipped
there through the appropriation.

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, January
6.-Bolshevism has had a short life
in Czechoslovakia because the Czechs
refused to take bolshevism seriously,
despite an almost eager desire to seek
favor in the eyes of Russia, whether
red or white.
A year ago Aloyes Muna, tailor.
was a prisoner in Russia, where he
took course in Lenin's school.
Upon his return to Prague he tried to
convert the Czechs to the revolution,
but the Czechs refused to listen to his
pratings about an hour of labor equal
ing a pound of meat and days work
a pair of shoes.
Muna was considered more or less
of harmless little fellow. He was
placed in prison for a few weeks and
then was allowed his freedom. Since
then he has been working assiduously
among the miners in kladno, near
Prague. The most conspicuous result
OF Muna's propaganda was to furnish
inspiration to the Czech humorists.
He was downed by the ridicule hurled
at him from the funny papers and the
countless Prague cabarets.
Ghost Again Appears.
A fortnight ago another COM
munist diversion started when DR..
Smeral, a rich lawyer with political
am mbitions, and Czech named
Hauser. likewise with political am
bitions, succeeded in raising the COM
munish ghost. This time Smeral had
succeeded in causing split IN the So
cialist party. the moderates separating
from. the radicals, who wanted to fol-
low Lenin and Trotsky. Owing to the
unsettled economic conditions and
lack of food, enough discomfort was
fomented to start an uprising In
kladno.
Smeral, because Of his seditious utter
ances, was thrown out of the printers
organization, whereupon general strike
was called. About per cent OF the
workers walked out in Prague, but all
returned the next day. A few struck
for a short time in the clothing district
of Reichenberg. There was small riot
in Prague, and because the court had
building to the moderate socialists, the
building was held by the communists.
The moderates stormed it and there
were about ten casualties.
Dictatorshfp Effort Fails.
About this time Muna and Smeral
tried to form a red army in Kladno to
march on Prague and install dictator
ship of the proletariat. The red army
numbered 1000 and a few regular SOL
diers who met them half way easily
disarmed them. There were in all per-
haps 300 arrests.
The communists attempt at direct
action had two results: first, to split
the socialist party, which was formerly
the strongest but is now the weakest,
and second, to furnish new inspiration
to the Czech humorists. If a cabinet
government is discarded for a parlia-
mentary government by political min
listers the socialists will have lost their
predominance.

TENSION HIGH between
SERBIA AND BULGARIA

SOFIA, Bulgaria, January g. - In
spite of the governments protest the
Serbo- Bulgarian frontier is still
closed. Only the orient express is
permitted to cross into Serbia, but no
Bulgarians are permitted to travel on
this train.
The reason for the trouble is Bull
garia's refusal to hand over to Serbia
the railroad rolling stock captured in
the war until the matter has been
passed upon by an international COM
mission. The real reason is believed
to be the fear Of the Serbian cabinet
Of the growing friendship between
Bulgaria and Croatia.
The people Of the latter country
have lately been manifesting their
sentiments by shouting Long live the
Croatian republic! Long live Bull
