NORWEGIAN BARK TRIES
In VAIN TO CROSS OCEAN
AGAINST WINTER GALES
(By Associated Press.)

Queenstown, Feb. 2.-The hardships
of crossing the Atlantic in a sailing
vessel in mid-winter were shown by
the experience of the Norwegian bark
Sirdal, which gave up the attempt
after spending IS days at sea and has
returned to this port with her bul-
warks stove in and much of her cam
vas in rags.
Most of her crew were either i'll or
worn out by fatigue and exposure.
Neither vessel nor men were fit for
further conflict with angry seas. The
Sirdal left Christianssand as far back
as October %, bound for Barbados
and carrying only ballast.
Almost from the start she encount-
cred heavy westerly gales, but made
her way as far west as midAtlantic
whence she was driven north to the
coast of Labrador and then almost
over to Iceland. Several times she
was thrown on her beam ends, her
decks were necessarily swept by seas,
cabins flooded and rigging so strained
that it was feared the masts would
go. One man fell from aloft in gale
and was killed.

GERMANS NOT YET
INOCULATED WITH
VIRUS OF SOVIETS

Oldenburg, Germany, Feb e.
President NJ. Tantzen-Heering of the
German free state of Oldenburg, one
of the powerful political figures of
northwest Germany, declares that the
spread of Bolshevism through west
ern Europe, .and eventually to the
depends upon economic is
sues over which the German people
have lost control.
The Germans will never turn to
Bolshevism until economic conditions
have driven them to desperation. the
president told the Associated Press
correspondent.
"This desperation will only come
when, with good will to work-and
that will here is very strong-work
cannot be had,''he continued up
to this time Bolshevism has found no
sound footing in Germany, although
there are some cranks who are chas-
ing the Soviet rainbow, Germany is
standing like a wall against the
spread of Red Russianism over the
oceans, and. so long as the wall holds
there is no danger.
1.-THE character of the people of
Germany and particularly of Olden-
burg is too sturdy, quiet and sensi-
BILE to tolerate the sentimental fool
ishness of Bolshevism. Only economic
causes could drive them to Bolshe
vism, but at this time they have los!
control of these causes. The Treaty of
Versailles made us strongly depend
ent economically upon the victorious
nations. Economic pressure has been
brought to bear. Reduced production
and its consequences are keenly felt.
Necessaries of life are strictly ra
toned. Prices have been driven up:
our money has lost it's buying power
The working people will not endure
the aid for voorhees, which they
properly feel lowers them morally.
