MARKED DECREASE IN MARINE WRECkS
Great Lakes Disasters Last
 Year TotaIed Only 8 Against 19 in 1919
Rv Associated press

Detroit. Mich, January 2S.-Marked reduction in the number of marine disasters on the great lakes during the 1920 season, compared with 1919. is shown in the records of shipping companies here. During 1920 there were eight vessel losses and 29 lives lost against 19 vessel losses and 80 lives lost the preceding year.
 The 29 persons who lost their lives last year perished when the steamer Superior City sank in Lake Superior, off Whitefish point. This occurred on the night of August 20 arter a collision with the steamer Willis l. King. The collision is said to have been due to a fog. The Superior City sank so quickly after the collision it was impossible to launch boats. according to the stories of four survivors. One of those lost was a woman, wife of the second en- gineer. Other vessel losses in 1920 were.
 The Mary A. McGregor, fire; the J. H. Shingley, abandoned; the Marion. fire; the sarnon, sprang leak; the Mary Woolson, waterlogged; the Miztec. abandoned; the Francis J. widlar, driven on rocks.
 The sinking of the Widlar furnished one of the most dramatic pages in the history of great lakes disasters, all though no lives were lost. The ship was driven on the rocks near White fish Point during storm that swept the upper lakes in November Cap tain Arthur Forbes of Ashtabula, O., in command of the Widlar, set out in small boat with few men for the channel to bring help to the stranded crew. The party reached the channel after battling the waves for about 10 miles, and rescue ships went to the
 wreck and saved all members or the crew. The Widlar has been abandoned
 by her owners to the underwriters.

RAILROAD CHIEF
 SAYS ADVERTISE, ALSO BE CANDID
Speaker Declares That Public Utilities Should Be in Such Sondition That Industries
 Would Be Invited
By Associated Press

Indianauolis. Jan. 23.--"Be frank ana advertise" was the advice given public utility companies tonight by F. H. Gadsden of Philadeiphia- president of tas American Electric Railway asso- ciation, at a meeting of the Indiana Public Utility association. By this method. Mr. Gadsden said, pubic understanding of utility problems can best be obtained and necessary rate adjustment and credit restoration bastened.
 -It is absolutely necessary, he sala, If public utilities are to continue 10 function that they create How or new capital into their securities. The answer to this whole problem Is the granting of rates to public utility com panies which will insure a return to the security holders that will induce them to invest. Nothing less than this sort of an arrangement will save the utilities from ruin.
 Adjustment of public utility rates to a basis that will attract new money into the field will be hastened by a thorough public understanding of the l public utility problems. The best way i to bring about that understanding IS to be frank and advertise.
 "Frankness must go hand in hand with advertising else advertising rails. l Therefore, be prepared when yoo po- gin presenting your story to the pub lie. to tell the whole truth about your business to everyone. As the only GUS toner of the public utilities, the public i is entitled to know all about their business and any public utility, which cannot stand the searchlight of honest public inquiry cannot hope to obtain help through favorable public senti- ment. Put your house in such order that you will fear the questions of no man. Advertise by every possible channel and hit the line hard. Tell your story everywhere that there Is blank space which you can fill
 Make it plain that the public utility problem is the problem of every man woman and child who uses your serv- ice. Strive by frank statement to con- vince consumers that you are trying to do the best thing for their genera good and that it is in their own in- terest, if nothing else, that they should enlist themselves in your cause The way to accomplish this result is not to make the mere statement that 1t is your intention to give good serv- ice, or to submit to the public large indigestible volume of statistics ane

The condition of the Russian peas
 antry under the bolshevist rule and
 consequently the attitude of the peas
 antry towards bolshevism Is a most
 important factor in the Russian situa-
 ton. The peasantry nstitutes S5 per
 cent of Russia's entire population.
 Until lately the world knew little of
 the life of the Russian peasantry un-
 der the bolshevist rule. It was known
 that following Lenine's rob the rob
 bersr' the peasants had seized the land
 of the former landowners, and the
 bolsheyist sympathizers did not hesi-
 tate to declare this kind of solution"
 of the complicated Russian land prob
 lem an ideal solution, much prefera-
 ble to the solution of the problem in
 an orderly, legitimate way, through an
 an-Russian constituent assembly. They
 emphasized in every way possible that
 the bolsheviki had given the land to
 the peasants. ignoring the fact that
 there was another and a better way
 for the peasants to get the land; that
 the first all Russian constituent as- sembly, dispersed by the bolhevist
 bayonets for it's opposition to the bol- shevist theology and practice. had de-
 clared itself unanimously, during the one day of it's existence, for transfer ring the land to those who toll on it.
 The fundamental task of the Rus sian revolution was not only to declare the principle of turning over the land to the peasants. but also to arrange for the realization of this principle in a just and peaceful way. Only the all- Russian continent assembly, in CO., operation with the democratic organs of rural elf-government-the Zem- stvos, could accomplish this task. But, both the constituent assembly and the organs of local self-government were destroyed by the bolsheviki, and the distribution of land among the peas ants under the bolshevist rule took l the form of a largely uncontrolled elementary process'-to use the words l of M Sereda, the bolshevist commis- sary for agriculture. Until lately. the
 results of this process, the effects of
 the bolshevists motto, Rob the Rob- 1 bers! in the Russian villages were l little known, although even the boI- l shevist sympathizers and pro-bolshey- ist writers could not conceal the fact that the bolshevist land reform has not produced positive results and thai the Russian peasantry is hostile to the i ooIhevist rule. I am glad, therefore ! to De able to present to the American readers data on the condition of the , Russian peasantry under the bolshevis,
