Argentinians Was Called
OFF

Buenos Aires, JAN 2l--Andres Fer
reyra and Mariono Ceballos, members
of the chamber of deputies, fought a
bloodless pistol duel in the outskirts of
this city to-day. The encounter was the
result of an alteration between the
two men in the chamber yesterday
when Ferreyra gave the lie to Ceballos,
after the latter had denounced the gov
eminent, insinuating that President
Irigoyen was surrounded by ministers
who were profiting personally at the
expense of public interests.
Each man fired one shot without re-
suit, whereupon the duel was called
off Ceballos also sent challenge to
another deputy who took exception to
his remarks but their seconds settled
this incident without recourse to the
duelling code.

post to-day as result OF published
attributed to General Vale,
one OF the best known commanders in

TWO YEARS EFFORTS
WERE ENDED TO-DAY
Martens Refers to "Hyster-

in United States

New York, Jan. 22.-Nearly two
years effort by Ludwig c. A. K. Mar
tens to gain recognition by the United
States government as the ambassador
of the Russian soviet government end
ed to-day with his departure for Goth
enberg, Sweden, on board the steamship
Stockholm. It was the final execution
of an order from the department of la
Dor for his deportation as an undesra-
Bile alien.
Hundreds of personal friends of Mar
tens and of his ambassadorial retinue
Of AZ crowded the docks to bid fare
we'll
Although the department Of labor of
fered the best accommodations the ship
affords, Martens declined, saying he
wished TO buy ticket and travel like
any other passenger.
He issued a statement expressing
grateful appreciation for the great
personal kindness and courtesy" he had
received from many Americans in all
vocatons throughout the country. He
said it was a source oflpersonal pleas
IRE to find everywhere men and wom-
IN who had not allowed "hysterical
fears or prejudice to move them from
their sympathy with the cause he rep
resented.
''Ay departure" the statement con
tinued, has come as the logical an in
tvitable consequence of the policy of
the American government toward soviet
Russia He declared he had worked a
long time before being able to induce
the expression of definite policy and
continued
"My MISSION here would have ter,
minated much earlier if the depart
ment of state had been willing to take |
the responsibility which was finally as
sumed by the department of labor
This, however, is a curious matter of |
American official procedure which I do
not pretend to understand.
Nor can tell what direction this !
policy of ignoring the existence of the
established government of the largest |
country in Europe will lead
II can only say that when the Amer I
lean people are prepared to approach /
this problem, the government Of the 7
Russian workers and peasants will be
ready to meet them in reasonable and

EX-PAST0R HELD
AS SOLE THIEF
Who Robbed u. S. Mail of
$4,000 at Mount

ALL BUT $4,000
ACCOUNTED FOR
Postoffice Inspectors Think
Kyle Worked Single
handed

Mount Vernon, ILL.,, Jan. 22.-With
Guy Kyle, former pastor of the Free
Methodist church of Mount Vernon, I'M
der arrest and virtually all of the mon
ey recovered, postoffice inspectors to-
day were continuing their investiga-
ton into the theft here on Jan. Ia,
of l6 packages of registered mail con-
tanning $Is5,000 cash and $4,000 in
negotiable securities.
Developments to-day convinced the
inspectors that Kyle carried out the
robbery singlehanded, it was said.
The inspectors spent the night check
ing up the cash they recovered at Kyle's
home and in his two garages and it is
believed less than $4,000 remains un-
accounted for. The money was for
mine payrolls.

the Spaulding team was far from nor

Mrs. Swingle said, ''are primarily con.
struetive and will, in a small way,
help to overcome prejudice and spread
the ideals of friendship and good will.
There is nothing to join; no dues to
pay. The admission price is one smile
and they all pay it cheerfully"

VAR HAS DESOLATED
CILICIA DISTRICT
Miss Elizabeth Webb, American Mis-
sionary, Tells of the Ruin
She Saw.

New York, Jan. 22.--Constant fight
ing between the French forces of oc-
cupation and Turkish nationalists has
| transformed the Cilicia district of Asia
| Minor into an area of ruin and desc
lation resembling the devastated sec
tions of northern France, declares Miss
Elizabeth Webb an American mission
airy and worker for the Near East re-
| lief.
In letter to the relief organization
Miss Webb tells of trip from Adana,
recently delivered from siege of Ia
weeks, to the town of Deurt Vol, about
so miles distant on the Mediterranean
sea. The trip was made on French
armored train.
'The Adana station itself was sug-
gestive of the general situation with
its barbados of sand bags" she wrote.
Gas we moved down the track we saw
bent steel rails lying by the side of the
new ones that had just been laid.
Bridges that we passed over were
nearly repaired and village stations
along the route were demolished. The
ruins were surrounded by barbed wire
entanglements and broken telegraph
poles, festooned with tangled wire,
witness TO the events of the past few
months. No human beings were in
sight but the barbed wire entan9le-
ments were hung with tin cans, which
in the weeks of Sighting that preceded
my Nest ba h.t ha do
Tenders to prevent surprise attack, for
one touch on the wire would set the
whole row of cans iinglfHg
In the four hours between Adana
and Toprak Kale we saw Only one
human being outside the vicinity Of
these two places This one exception
was Turk riding forlorn looking
horse, with white rag hanging from
a pole stuck upright in his pack sad
die There were scores of threshing
floors where the cut wheat had been I
allowed to rot in the sun and rain
"The difficulties in Deurt Vol and I
Euzerli have greatly increased by the |
addition Of about 1900 Armenian refu- |
gees to the population. Most of the /
refugees abandoned rich crops and
houses that had been newly repaired !
with aid from the Near East relief. We /
found them in pitiful condition.
Houses of two and three rooms were
sheltering four or five families.
"All empty houses, porches. store
houses and every inch of available
space was filed with them Some were
sleeping on the bare ground with no
covering. n
"To meet the need in these two
places. the Near East relief has sent
400 sacks of -four. 3,400 wards of cloth,
floor mats, quininc and l,750 blankets
