several months ago. has been made
by Leon Trotsky in a report on the
economic condition of the world
read before the internationale.
Trotsky attacks Mr.. Hughes for
saying that the bolsheviki had
turned Russia into gigantic
vacuum. According to Trotsky.
the decline in Russian economy Is
due to the successive notifications
in the civil and imperial wars.
1t is true. he says that the soviet
government has mobilized fewer
persons than the czar did. but the
old regime retained the skilled
workers in the mills and factories,
filling the army with young men

students and professional officers.
The soviet army is composed MAIN
1y of skilled workers, and there
foregit ID Trotsky's contention that
mobilization forced upon Russia
by France. Great Britain and the
United States hit industry harder.
Trotsky closes by saying: The
fact that Russia. torn from the
world and shaken and exhausted
by imperialist and civil wars. could
Withstand three years of wars Of
intervention: could sclothe, feed
and arm an army numbering at
times more than 100000 soldiers.

Officials Working on System to
Bring About Effective and
Economical Distribution.

Radical changes in the Districts
water distribution system. contem-
plating a new service for the bust
ness section, are in prospect today In
connection with conferences soon to
be held between District and federal
government officials.
Local water department officials, II
is learned, have been working for
some time on plans designed to
bring about the most effective and
economical distribution of water pos
sible in conjunction with the build
ing Of the new conduit from Great
Falls. They expect to submit theii
recommendations to Maj. NJ. {. Tyler
who has been designated to build the
conduit, early next week.
Long-Felt Need.
II the recommendations are adopted
Washington business men will score O
victory in their long fight for increased
water pressure in the downtown area OF
the capital.
Details of the plans to be suggested
by the local authorities have not been
announced, but 1t Is understood they are
based on calculations for increasing the
pressure in the business section from
forty-six to seventy-two pounds. LII
the event a ssventy-two-pound pressure
is reached. fire hazards not only Will
be greatly lessened. it Is pointed out,
but owners of large business houses
will be relieved of the cost Of pumping,
which runs into thousands OF dollars
annually.
Appropriation Necessary.
It is understood an appropriation
will be required to put through the
scheme the local officials have In mind,
;e holi he
can be shown for it will convince Con
gress of it's desirability.
1t also would be necessary to amend
the Tyler plan. known as Potomac
project E. which was the basis OF the
appropriation made recently by Con-
gress for the new conduit. put water
department officials are confident they
will be able to convince Maj. Tyler
that the changes proposed will pro-
duce desirable results.
The Tyler plan proposes constrtc.
tion of an additional filtration plant on
the Dalecarlia reservation and tbg~tnS
stallation of a large main front this
to be looated in the vicinity Of the bri-
reau Of standards, which would supply
the second high service. From this
reservoir water would be pumped also
into the third high-service mains.
Cost Of Plant.
Maj. Tyler estimates the cost of
building the filtration plant and a
pumping plant at Dalecarlia reser-
voir at $1.S21,000. The cost Of build
ing a distribution reservoir and of
providing the distribution mains .is
estimated at $1.300,000. These items
are included in the total cost OF $9.-
$4,000, which will represent the new
conduit and its connecting equipment
when completed.
1t is not believed the plan to be sub
mitted by the District authorities will
call for any material changes in the
general features Of the Tyler scheme.
but, rather, will propose an elabora-
ton Of the plan in certain directions
which indicates results of far-reach-
ing benefit to water consumers.

TURK LEADER ASKS
ABSURDCOND|T|ONS
Offers to Meet British Only
After Impossible Demands
Are Accepted.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

By Gable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
Copyright. 1921.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Turkey, July L.
The Pope's efforts to effect a peaceful
arrangement between the Turks and the
allies have been abandoned. Though
there have been no British missions to
Angora. Mustapha Kemal Pasha has
used the offices Of two trustworthy
former British officers who have been or
private business in his capital to convey
to Gen. Harrington. chief commander
Of the allies forces in Turkey, his de.
sire for a meeting.
Wants Concessions First.
On their return to Constantinople these
two officers took Kemars request along
with his demands. After a consultation
Of the cabinets Of the allies. it was
decided to propose that Kemal meet
Gen. Harrington on board British
warship at Ineboli. The Turkish wal
minister transmitted this proposal to
Kemal. who, to the great establishment
Of the representatives Of the allies, re-
piled that he was willing to meet Cen
lowing demands were accepted in prin-
.ciple beforehand:
/. That Turkey shall be restored
to its frontiers as they existed before
the war.
2: Complete economic Independence
including the abolition Of capitula-
tions and zones of influence.
3. Complete administrative independ-
ence.
4. Complete financial independence
In order to avoid misunderstanding
and eventual neutrality-suspicious. the
British embassy issued at once a
communique pointing out that Kemal
had approached the allies on his own
initiative, and that the allies had
agreed that Gen. Harrington should
meet the nationalist leader. and ex-
change views solely on the military
situation. The writer understand
that the Kemalist demands produced
a painful impression on all the repre-
sef1tatfyes Of the allies. These de-
mands are reguarced as impossible
even by those who urge most strongly
an understanding with the. Turks al
almost any price.

HEARD SWEETHEART CRYING.
Unable to Relieve Miss Butler Because
He Was Held Under Gun MuZZle.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Dec. 2.-Un-
der the skilful ministrations of a spec
ialst in nervous diseases, Miss Gertrude
Butler yesterday afternoon completed
the ordeal of testifying against her three
alleged assailaHts, Benjamin Comes,
John Dies and Joseph Andrews, and was
excused from further attendance at the
trial.
Her recovery, while not complete, as
she tainted seven times while testify
ing, was remarkable, as she was treated
wholly by mental suggestion and not by
medicine, the place of her mother as her
chief comforter being taken by a stran
ger, DR. Raoul Provost, whom she saw
Wednesday for the first time.
The main case of the prosecution was
completed last night with the direct tes-
timony of William Howard Eldridge,
who followed his b0yhood sweetheart
on the witness stand and told in only
a fraction of the time covered by Miss
Butler s testimony the same story of
being held up, robbed and taken to a

REDMOND QUIZZES
!. FTTZHUGH ALL DAY
Wants to Know About Abandonment OF
Southern New England Road
Rattle of Wits

CONCORD, n. H. Dec. 2.-Cross-ex-
animation of the plaintiff consumed an
other entire day in the superior court jury
trial of Earl II. Fitzhugh against the
Grand Trunk railroad and others.
Mr.. Fitzhugh, who asks 100000 dam
ages for alleged conspiracy to ruin his
career az railroad man, was questioned
by J. w. Redmond of Newport, Vt,
counsel of the Central Vermont railroad,
as to his grounds for believing that the
proposed traffic agreement between the
Grand Trunk and New Haven systems
necessarily involved the abandonment of
the Southern New England road, a. Grand
Trunk extension from Palmer, Mass, to
Providence, X. |. .---.
The battle of wits between lawyer and
witness was very animated, as we'll as pro-
tracted. Mr.. Fitzhugh finally left the
stand late yesterday afternoon after re
direct examination by his counsel, Maj
Robert C.. Murchie.
