The new law, to which the railroads

KERENSKY SEEKING RE-
TURN To GOVERNMENT
CIRCLES
(By Associated Press.

Riga, Latvia, Dee. 2.-Despite de-
malls by former Premier Kerenskv
and Russian Soviet officials. it is
generally believed in Riga diplomatic
circles that feelers have been put out
recently by Bolshevik representatives
and agents of the Russian Social Rev
olutionary party to sound out the pos
sibility of reaching an agreement for
entrance Of some of Kerenskv's par
ty into the Moscow government.
That these negotiations, so far, have
met with little or no success is also
generally believed.
NJ. Tchernoff, one of the leaders OF
kerensky's party, who is now at Re
val, is said to have discussed the mat
ter with Maxim Litvinoff, chief of
the Soviet diplomatic missions
abroad, who was at Reval on an un-
explained Grand
Many Of the more important Social
Revolutionary leaders remaining in
Russia, including some in prison, are
known to have sent word last summer
to their comrades in exile at Pra que

advising a cessation Of counterrevolu
tionary work and an attempt at re
Cancellation.
ccording to one report, the Soci:
Revolutionaries proposed chat NJ. Ker
ensky should be admitted to the Bol
shevik cabinet in the capa city of FOR
eign Minister. They also demanded
the calling ofo a constituent assembly
! Mr.. Kcrcnsky, however, in an inrer
view published at Prague where nt
was staying, issued a general denia
of the negotiations, saying: 81 mus
emphat1cally deny all rumOrS aoou
alleged negotiations between the So
cial Revolutionary party and the Bol
sheviks for finding means of a com
promise. Such action would not onl,
be foolish, but criminal The fate o
Bolshevism is more or less clear al
ready, for absolute breakdown is IN
evitable. Russia already cured o
the ideologv Of Bolshevism, and w
NAV say that today Russia is only II

apparatus but that Bolshevism, a
such, does not exist. -

SWEDEN TROUBLED WITH
GERMAN RUM RUNNERS
(By Associated Press.)


Stoc kholm, Nov. 3Q.-Rum- running
into Sweden from Germany has devel-
oped into something like public scan
dal, say Swedish newspapers. The
broken nature of the coast line and
the thousands of small islands dotting
the sea approaches are all in favor of
smuggling enterprise.
The craft engaged in this trade are
generally small, fast-sailing schooners
the imperial German navy. Many
of the shippers bear names well known
in the records of submarine activity.
very difficult for Swedish coast
guards TO stop them.
From Reval, Rostock, Stettin, Lu-
beck and other German ports these
vessels put to sea, their cargoo always
consigned, according to the ships pa
,pers, to some Finnish port. Once
among the rocky archipelago of eastern
Sweden, the cargo is landed piecemeal
after nightfan on the rocks, from
which it is later removed by accom-
plices ashore who have widely ram
flied organization for the island distri-
button Of the goods.
This illicit traffic is said by Swed-
ish paper to be enormous. The papers
are full of stirring stories about
smugglers and their doings. They re-
main out8ide the territorial waters,
cruising about until their friends
seize their chance to rush out in fast
motor boats, often in heavy gale
tranship the liquor and disappear in
the dangerous labyrinth Of the archl
pelago.
j Lately the police has started I
/ cheme TO beat the rum runner II
their own game. The other day a po
lice boat, camoufla ged as a smuggling
craft, boarded a German schooner and
loaded up to the gunwale from the
!. schooners hold unconscious Of the fact
that the schooner was just outside the
tarrit orial limit. When the policemen
ried to leave the schooner without
paving, the smugglers threatened &c
throw them overheard and there wa:
nothing for them but to pay for the
liquor.
In another case. the correspondent
was told, a gale blew up soon afte
the coast guards had boarded sh1I
which happened to be within the three
mile limit and, owing to the dangerou'
coast, the ship had to put out to sea
taking the Swedish guards away t.
Germany
In Sweden and in Finland many O.
the coast population get their living
BY smuggling and refuse to go fishing
and carry on their legitimate trades
In Finland, where total prohibition
prevails, conditions are even worse
than in Sweden. Fishing there has
entirely ceased, it is said, because rum
running is far more profitable busi
ness.
