Bringing Russia Into the Fold.

The propaganda from Washington now III

tween Russia, China and the United States, with

General Jan Smuts, taking leave OF England in
the late summer Of 1919, said the reorganization
OF Russia and the recognition OF whatever form
OF government its people adopt is inevitable. The
Bee has from the first insisted that the govern
nient Of Russia is a matter for the Russian peo-
pie to determine. just as is that OF the United
States matter for its citizens alone. So long
as the Russians maintain their external integrity.
it matters not what state their home affairs
are in.
The difficulty has been that the soviets have
not tried to maintain their external integrity;
they declared war on all the world in effect.

A very careful study OF the course

When a man has had n break In

Close analysis shows that very

Most of the cases of heart failure

due TO heart oyerstrain.
A civil war veteran with a bad

home with swollen feet, an enlarged

TO the fatigue OF the parade.
Now, having added some details
to the negative half of the theory,
let US do the same for the positive
half.
What is known as organic heart
Is gripping of the heart wall and
principally the heart valves by in

The infections which cause heart
disease are principally rheumatism,
pneumonia, colds, coughs, sore
throats. scarlet fever and diphtheria.
The heart may not show the re-
suits Of an injury for many years
after the disease which caused the
trouble.
Even then it may work fairly we'll
for years unless second Infection
occurs
Backsets in heart disease are the
result of infections.
If this teaching be true, persons
with heart disease must avoid in
fections above all else. In the win
ter time they must keep out of
crowds and away from the hot, dry
air of houses to avoid catching cold.
If they get even a mild cold they
must take care of themselves. They
must keep their noses, throats and
teeth clean.

Whatever causes neurltis. neural

Even Should Breakdown in Pres

LONDON, Oct. 30-Efforts have
been made during the week end to
prevent a breakdown in the Irish peace
conference but a continuance OF the
negotiations now seems to depend al
most entirely on the willingness OF the
Ulster authorities to assist in coming
into line with the Sim Fein.
Sir James Craig the Ulster premier
who has protested a desire TO work
amicably with southern ireland in an
all-Ireland council viii. it is said, be
offered greatly extended powers for
the northern parliament accompanied
by strengthening Of the position OF
the central council connecting the two
irish parliaments and It is declared
to be the belief that he may accept
this
But, it is asserted. Sir James viii
oppose any curtailment of the area Of
the northern parliament and viii espe-
cially resist any cutting off of the rep
resentation of northeast Ulster in the
imperial parliament. which he regards
as the greatest safeguard for Ulster.
The prevailing belief here seems to
be in various quarters that even should
there be a breakdown in the present
conference, the truce in Ireland should
continue.
The observer today urges that
there be a definite continuance or the
truce for three months during which
time, It declares, Premier Lloyd George
might go to Washington and discus
sions at home might bring about a
settlement Of the Irish situation. The
newspaper adds that the Sim Fein
most unlikely would not object to this
expedient ''as the truce so far has
strengthened their position, and its
only opponents would be the rebeIious
unionist communers, whom the pre-
mier expects to defeat overwhelmingly
in Mondays decision in the house OF
commons"

CAPTAIN TAUSCRER
WANTS TO RETURN
German Once Under Indictment
Here Wishes to Become
American Citizen Now.
CRy The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, oct. 30.-The state
department has asked the department
OF justice to rule upon the question of
permitting the return to this country
of Captain Hans Tauscher late of the
imperial German army. who left for
Germany in February, 1917 with for
mer Ambassador Won Bernstorff while
under Indictment in San Francisco ~or
violation of American neutrality.
According to official advices from
Berlin, Tauscher wishes to become an
American citizen as an example to his
countrymen OF the proper solution Of
Germany's future through the cultiva-
ton of good relations with this country.
He is reported to have suggested that
the government drop the indictment
still pending in San Francisco, in order
that he may transfer his allegiance.
Despite Tauscher's record Of alleged
connection with the conviction OF Won
Bernstorff, Won Papen, and other Ger
man agents, during the anxious DAYS
Immediately preceding Americas entry
into the war, the war and navy de-
partments are understood to see no OBJ
lection to his return. It is intimated
that Tauscher IS in possession of secret
information which would be Of value
both to the government and certain
American industries.
Tauscher, according to intelligence
agents, was concerned with widespread
German intrigue In this country and
was indicted with former German mill
itary attache Won Papen for violation
of neutrality laws IN connection with
the so-cailed Hindu plot to ship arms
and ammunition TO Germany. Upon
reaching Germany. however, he is de-
clared to have evidenced a friendly at
titude toward this country and used his
influence in behalf Of American prison
ers during the war.
Beyond stating that the matter was
under aGvisemant, department Of jus
tice officials declined to discuss the
case.
