FARM LABOR SITUATION
 IS CRITICAL

Durham, N. H., July 13.-The farm labor situation Tn New England, cri- tica1 during the past few years, ap- pears relieved so far as the supply is concerned.
 Harry c. Woodworth, farm man. agement specialist of the state col lege extension service, reporting on data from 2S5 New Hampshire farms says about s5 per cent. had more la Dor available than last year, and 90 per cent. stated they would need no more help in 1920.
 This would indicate" MT. Wood worth said, that scarcity of labor will not be a limiting factor in pro- ductfon here this week. In fact, only Is per cent of the farms show an in clination to reduce production and about half of those state that the economic situation rather than the labor question has prompted this plan."
 Form wages have been reduced from to 12 per cent. Of 156 men employed by the month on the New Hampshire farms reporting, the ave- rage wage was SAT and board, which in the case of married men means cash wags and house, garden, milk, wood for fuel, and other privileges or the TT men hired by the day the average wage was S3.10 with dinner.

SOVIET AGAINST
 USE OF FUNDS
 TO AID REFUGEES

Stockholm, July 13-Use of prop erty or funds belonging to the former Russian Imperial government for the aid of Russian refugees is opposed by Soviet Russia, which claims those funds M. Kershentsef, the Bolshe- wiki Russian emissary in Sweden, has on behalf of his government, sent a note to Secretary Charles p. Hughes, at Washington protesting against the use of the property. He claims that such action n the part of a foreign power while taken under the pretext of assisting Russians, is really a step In the struggle against the present Russian government.
 It was reported yesterday on ad- vices from Moscow that George Chitcherin, the Soviet Foreign Minis ter, had addressed a note to several governments, including the United States, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico protesting against a decision report ed to have been reached by the League of Nations authorizing the use of the funds in question in the aid of Russian refugees.

MISSING SHIPS
STILL MYSTERY
Search for "Twentieth Century ri.
rate, is Vain-Officials Have
No Clues.

Washington, June 23.-CUnited
Press).-The fate of the vanishing
ships" today threatened to go down
in history as one of the unexplained
mysteries Of the sea.
Officials of the department of
commerce admitted that the search
for a twentieth century pirate, un-
dertaken after all other theories to
explain the disappearance of half
dozen boats off Cape Hatteras
failed, SO far had produced no re-
suits.
"I've heard many tall yarns of the
sea-" said Eugene T. Chamberlain,
commissioner of navigation. But
in this case the facts are there. The
Carroll A. Deering and the Hewitt
met some strange fate beyond that
of ordinary vessels that come to
grief"
The Deering was the schooner
that sailed on the shoals, abandoned
apparently in calm seas and with
the ship and cargo in good condi-
ton. The Hewitt and her crew
dropped completely out OF sight
about the same time.
"Of course we don't say fatty
that these ships were victims of pi-
racy, but we have and are investi-
eating that angle" Chamberlain
said.
That American navigators are
not the only ones to admit piracy
as an explanation of the vanished
ships was revealed by William Lyt.
tie, chief clerk of the bureau of nav.
igation.
"The Hewitt was insured in Lon.
