COPENHAGEN. January 15.-Infu-

United States Of the bolshevik agent
Martens. Lenin and Trotsky are plan
ming a campaign of revenge agains,
that country.
AS first step America is to be
overrun by soviet agents. many of
whom are now here awaiting a ia
vorable opportunity to enter the
states. They are plentifully supplied
with money. some of them boaSting
that each has quarter of a million
rubleS iii gold in his possession.
The present plan is for them to get
to Mexico or Canada and slip across
the border singly to their assigned
territory.
The United States has been divided
into districts. to each of which one
OF the agents has been assigned In
addition. there are supervising agents
with rowing commissions, who spe-
cialiZe in certain industries. and who
Will exert their energies among the
unions all over the country in which
they are especially interested.
The police authorities of Copen-
hagen have already frustrated the
attempts of number of these men
to ship as sailors on ships going to
American. Canadian or Mexican
ports. where, it is believed, they plan
ned to desert. and make their way
into the states.
Several Danish Americans, who are
spending the holidays in their old
homes. have been offered small for
these emissaries of the soviet. and
make it possible for them to pene-
trate the states through any port OF
call and without difficulty.

PERET DECLINES
T0FORM CABINET
Failure Due Largely to De-
sire of Poincare to Be For
eign Minister.
BY the Associa ted Prees.


PARIS. January 15.-Raoul Peret.
who was asked yesterday to head a
new ministry of France in succession
to the one which resigned on Wednes-
day, appeared before President Mil
lerand today and declined to form the
ca abinet.
Difficulties encountered Yesterday by
N. Peret in forming a cabinet were
|of a most discouraging nature. At
the end of the day he had almost de-
cided to give up the task but decided
TO resume work this morning. His
last effort was without success.
! NJ Peret's failure to create a min
istry was due largely to the refusal of
former President Poincare to enter
the combination except under condi-
tons that made it difficult for NJ
Peret to carry out his program. NJ.
Poincare. it was understood, desired
the foreign ministry, but eX-Premier
BRAND was the man NJ Peret had
picked for the foreign Office, because
of his qualities as a negotiator and
his strength with the European chan
celleries.
Newspaper Comment.
The Figaro. which represents a GER
tam oooy OF opinion, asserted today
that the only reasonable solution of
the crisis was the choice of NJ. Poin-
care as premier. who would direct the
policy of France as whole. with A
foreign minister of his own seIec-
ton.
IF such solution is not accented
now. the newspaper declared, 1t will
have to be in three months time
Therefore. why not save time at a
moment when SO many urgent ques-
tions demand attention."

thorized to accept a conveyance of

rem the Carnegie Corporation of New
York funds for the purpose of erecting
a library building on said site.
Since the bill was introduced, how
ever, the Commissioners of the District
OF Columbia, acting with the board of

brary. entered into negotiation with the
Secretary of the Navy, with a view to
securing the transfer as a site for this
library of square 94s. bounded by Penn
sylvania avenue. 9Th, 10th and E streets
southeast.
$4,000 Is Promised.

sent to the transfer. The site is ad-
mirably. situated for the purpose. 1t

1ork' states that the corporation is
wiling to pay not less than $4,000 to-
ward the construction of branch Ii
brary building in the southeastern
section of the District of Columbia
upon the securing Of d suitable site. -
The substitute bill provides for crea-
tion of a commission. to be composed

buildings and grounds and the presi-
dent OF the board of library trustees,

BY ROBERT r. SMALL.

MARION. January 15.-President-
elect Warren G. Harding has chosen
the biblical text upon which he will
take the oath of Office as President
of the United States. He will ask that
the same Bible which George Wash
| ington used be opened at Micah, sixth
chapter and eighth verse. which
reads:
"He hath showed thee. o man. what
is good: and what doth the Lord re-
quire of thee. but to do justly and to
love mercy and to walk humbly with
thy God.
Senator Harding's thoughts have
been much upon the Bible Of late. For
the past two weeks he has been taxi
ing numerous degrees in Masonry.
First of all. he was elevated to the
thirty-second degree in the Scottish
Rite. Then he was made Shriner.
More recently, and at home here, in
Marion. he has been taking the Royal
Arch degrees. So he has been sur
rounded by a particularly solemn re-
ligious atmosphere.
The PreSident-elect commented upon
this last night and pledged his belief
In the efficacy Of prayer. He believes
that prayer will help him with the
problems that are before him in the
White House.
Expects to BE Equal to Task.
Senator Harding said that the af-
fairs Of this nation have been adrift
for long while. but as he approaches
his task with confidence and faith, he
believes faithfully that God will make
him equal to the responsibility.
During the past ten days. he said
Il have been taken far back into the
story of creation and l have found it
adding to my sense Of religious devo-
ton. Prayer grips the heart and adds
to ones confidence
Il believe in prayer believe in
prayer in the closet. for there one
faces God alone. Many times the out
spoken prayer is only for peoples
ears. / can understand how those

CIDER WRIT REFUSED.
q. S. Attorney Laskey Denies Re-
quest to Seize Masqueraded Drink.

United States Attorney Laskey today
refused a request of experts from the
Department of Agriculture for war
rant to seize a quantity of carbonated
cider, which they claimed was being
masuueraded as champagne and vio-
lated the law against misbranding.
Mr.. Laskey inquired if the contents of
the bottles were adulterated. and
when informed the department had
nothing against the beverage except
that some one might be deceived into
thinking that he was buying cham
pagne when in fact the bottles con-
tanned only cider, denied the request.
In explanation Mr.. Laskey pointed
ont that any one seeking to buy cham
nagne was law violator since the
