Resumption Of trade relations be-

became to-day for the first time pos
s!oflity III the near future after pre-
liminary consideration had been given
by the Harding administration 10 the
recent dramatic change OF front by the
Lenine-Trotzky Government at Mos
cow and the direct appeal BY wireless
from the All Russian Executive COM
mittee to President Harding and Con-
gress for trade agreement, which
has so quickly followed.
If a trade agreement is made .t
will be due TO a complete change in
the character and practices OF the
Soviet Government, which have been
so severely condemned by the United
States. 1t will not be due to any al
teration la the policy of this Govern
inent, nor will It be the result Of tho
wireless appeal which is now on the
desk Of Secretary of State Hughes.
who made It public late this after
room.
Department to-day the feeling existed
that the recent promise Of Lenine to
abandon the Objectionable Communist
features of the Soviet system might
be translated into action. But the
Administration will not accept this
promise as tantamount to an actual
change in the Soviet Government.
The sincerity of the Lenine declara.
ton, which was first made known to
the outside world by THE NEW YORK
HERALD's exclusive despatch from Re-
val last Saturday. is frankly ques-
toned here.
Proof VIII BE Required.
Proof of fulfilment and evidence that
the new condition will be permanent
will be required in Washington.
The substance of the wireless appeal
Of the All Russian Committee was re-
ceived in time for brief considera-
ton at the Cabinet meeting yesterday,
according to information obtained from
semi official sources to-day That Il
not been officially admitted. President
Harding in discussing the Cabinet ses-
sion declined to be questioned regard
ing the international questions that
had been considered.
II can be stated authoritatively that
no decision was reached by the Cab
met as TO the sort OF reply that
viii be made TO the Soviet appeal or
az to whether any reply will be made.
The announcement from Moscow corr
tained In the wireless message that the
Lenine-Trotzlly Government would send
delegation 10 the United States TO dis
cuss the renewal Of trade relations was
not commented upon officially az ths
State Department ami the atttud.
which this Government VIII assume
toward such delegation II Il should ar

.NORTHtAKOTA
ONCE TROPICAL
HOME OF PALMS AND FIGS, SAY
BIOLOGISTS.

Washington, Dec. S.--That the
state of North Dakota was at one
time as warm or warmer than the
states along the South Atlantic por-
tions of the country is the assertion
made by scientists of the United Stat
es geological survey. The geologists
have completed an investigation of
the Fort Union formation, a series
of tertiary rockbeds.
North Dakota was once covered by
trees of hardwood and pines and
other luxuriant vegetation, including
palms and fig trees such as grow in
the semi1trupic state Of Florida, they
say
= Fossils have been aptly called
the illustrations In the great book re-
cording the worlds history. the pag-
es of which are the layers of rock
that form the outer part of the crust
of hearth" the geological survey
says, in short statement. by look
ing at some of the Photographic re-
productions of fossil plants we can
restore in imagination the ancient
vegetation of parts of the world.
Fossil plants are very abundant
in the Fort Upton formation, a SER
les of tertiarrrockbeds in North Da-
kota, where they are found in the
sand stone, in the harder concre-
tions or lenses, and in the clay be-
tween the beds of sandstone. Most of
them, especially those of the clay.
are preserved with remarkable fidel-
ity.
This abundant fossil flora shows
that what is now an almost treeless
plain was once covered win splend-
id forests of hardwoods, interspersed
with scattered conifers and ginkgos.
The presence of numerous and at
many places thick beds of Ignite
make 1t clear that in this region
there were great swamps, which
must have existed with put little
change for long periods of time.
Among the plants Of this epoch were
fig trees and fan palm with leaves
five or six feet across, indicating that
the climate was as warm or warmer
than that now prevailing on the
South Atlantic slope of the Unitea
States"

OCTOBER RAILROAD
EARNINGS INCREASE
TOTAL OF 1O5, 1876, ,283 FOR 1919
CLASS 1 ROADS, THE LARG-
EST IN MANY MONTHS.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. S.-Net
railroad earnings for October totaled
$105, 6,2S3, the largest in many
months, according to figures compil-
ed today from interstate commerce
commission reports by the assocla-
tion of railway executives. The earn
ing rate thus demonstrated, the as
sociation said, however, would be but
5.4 per cent on the railroad property
involved, and was accompanied by
reduction of maintenance to the
lowest standard consistent with SAT-
ety."
The total earnings given was re-
ported by 1919 class i roads.
The statement credited part of the
earnings shown to the fact that Oc-
tober was normally the years heav-
iesttraffic month, while the threat of
a general strike impending operated
to increase loadings and rush ship
ments. Total net operating income of
the larger carriers for the year to
October 81, the statement said, was
$494.606,265, indicating an annual
net return of 80 per cent on the es-
timated net value of railroad prop
erty.
Operating expenses in October con-
sumed 742 per cent of revenue. as
compared with 80 per cent in the
same month last year.

bate, bequeaths to the state depart
ment of history all of his extensive

his house and lot in Brookings. worth
about $4,000, is to be sold, according
to the terms of the will, and one
