RUSSIAN TRADE
 PHANTOM LIKE
Heavy" Orders Reported Placed in U. s. Are Rather
 Light When Truth Known
By Associated Press

Berlin, July 16.-Russian trade has become a sort of will O. the wisp to European newspaper men and Amer ican newspaper correspondents in the European capitals. Scarcely a day passes that some bolshevist agent does not announce gigantic con. tract entered into by the Russian government with some great concern. usually a German or English cor poration.
 If all the locomotives and cars which Russia has been reported 70 have contracted for in the last year were delivered the former empire would require additional trackage to accommodate them.
 At one time an announcement was made that 10000 locomotives were contracted for in Germany alone. When the report was run to ground it was learned that an actual deposit had been made on a contract for LOO locomotives, and 1t cannot be learned that any of these have been deliv- cred as yet
 Bolshevist agents also announced a contract for 10000 tractors had been made with an American auto mobile factory. The owner of this factory advised the soviet agents that delivery of the tractors would begin as soon as bolshevist agents

MAY HAVE ID SELL SUGAR AT A LOSS
San Juan Overloaded and Dealers Are Unable to Plan to Dispose of
 Surplus
By Associated Press

San Juan, P. R., July 1S.-Efforts of sugar producers and others to get together in some concerted effort 10 relieve the present depressed sugar situation so far have failed
 R. Aboy Benitez, president of the sugar association, has been in favor of the formation of selling com mittee, the holding of sugars unui better prices prevail, and an ending of the practice of shipping sugar 10 New York unsold to be kicked about the market and finally purchased al any prices the refiners offer Apoy Benitez is of the opinion that unsoid sugars in New York have helpeo bring about the unbroken drop Tn all sugar prices during the past feW weeks.
 While there are some other pro ducers and others interested in the sugar business who agree with Aboy Benitez, there are apparently large number of interested parties who are convinced that Porto Rico sugars are too small factor in the situa- tion to affect the market one way or the other They say there are 25O. 900 tons of sugar in Cuba ready for shipment.
 With the gradual winding up of the grinding season in the island it has become apparent that there IS more than 10000 tons of sugar here available for shipment at any time during fiye-year period ana meaning a loss on every pound or sugar sold.
 1t is generally estimated that an average cost of $6 per Nhundred rounds for producing this years sugar crop is conservative and thai ary price under that will mean a loss to most of the producers in the , island. The crop is the most ex- pensiye ever harvested in the island

had soviet gold turned into Swedish coin and deposited in Stockholm bank. The gold was not forthcom- ing The tractors were not shipped, but the soviet propa gandists tailed to herald that fact as widely as they did the signing of the contract.
 One American concern whlcn shipped 90 tractors to Reval with. out having any deposit on them, stu has the tractors in storage in Es- thonia. and there is no indication that the soviet officials will fulfill their agreement to take them.
 Since the commercial agreements were framed by the bolshevik with Germany and Great Britain there has been noticeable cooling of the bol- shevist. foreign representatives to- ward America. For the moment they pretend to be extremely indifferent as to whether they establish closer trade relations with America But this is apparently not giving any un- easiness to Americans who have ac- tually been in contact with bolshe vist agents and have tried to close contracts on a strictly business basis.

THE WELL-EDUCATED MAN

From LeSlle S.
 We are still endeavoring to clear from all mbiguity the definition ot "a we'll educated man" The diver sity is fine. The Edisonians contend that education is collection of fresh facts. The collegians believe that is is a collection of old books. The public. exercising a judicial preroga- tive, concludes that both facts and books have produced the conditions under which we now live, and that both must be in the boat we are paddling on the well known tide to fortune.
 Gamaliel himself couldn't raise a Shakespeare In a machine shop. Old Jonathan Edwards, reading Solomon to little dison, would end by bang ing the Proverbs upon listless head. Not every philosopher Is a gentle man and scholar" But the mould of every trained intellect must be fashioned by exigencies, colored with lore, shaped by the invisible hands of. the dead, and susceptible to the external influences of the throbbing street.

ton, have suffered grievously by the interruption of the pilgrimages. Therefore. to assist him and King Hussein of the Hedjaz, who has been in constant warfare with the Arab ian CaTvinists," the latter are to re- ceive 960,000 cash annually so long as they refrain from annoying thelr neighbors and do not interfere with the candidacy of Hussein's son, the Emir Feisul, for the rulership of the new Mesopotaman state.
 Colonel Lawrence of the Colonia. office, who has lived among the Wa habi for years, told an interviewer that they were indeed a most violent people. They are, he said, fanati- cally Mohammedan and would kill their men and women, for smoking even a cigarette. The way they cor rect their women is to tie them up in bags and beat them unmercifully with palm canes.
 Each man has three wives. Should any of them go out of doors tte code allows him to have her put 10 death. This Is because they believe that If any other man looks at her she is contaminated and that if a woman goes outside her home she is certain to go wrong.
 Wearing a silk dress or any cost ly finery, precious stones or metals is also penal offense.
 "1n no sense are they a decaden' people" Colonel Lawrence concluded "They are virile and as austere as they are bloodthristy and brave. It should be cheap at E6o.0oo year to buy their good will and to keep them quiet" The latter view, however, does not f meet with universal acceptatioh Many taxpayers would prefer to see the end of all British commitments | in Mesopotamia.

CHANGING CHINA

From New Culture in China" by
 John Dewey, in Asia Magazine.
 I suppose most foreigners approach China with an antecedent belief Tn it's essential conservatism; it's aver sion to change. The conservatism IS internationally there. But so also is a predilection for change. And the scene shifts so often as to be dizzy ing to observe. Teachers compain of the "bumptious" 1insubordination of students-not new complaint Tn China, where students have preroga- tives in respect to their own discip- line most disconcerting to visitors from free America. They complain also of instability of mind, which leads students to rush enthusiastical- ly into a new cause only in a few months to lose interest and turn to some newer thing. The symptom is characteristic of conditions outside of schools. It is to be regretted. But it is a genuine evidence of general state of transition, with the hesita- = tion, uncertainty and openness to novel stimuli that such periods are bound to exhibit. On the other hand, there is a maturity of interest Tar beyond that which marks American students of the same years. High school boys and girls listen soberly and intelligently to lectures on sub jects that would create nothing but bored restlessness in an American school. There is an eager thirst for ideas-beyond anything existing, 1 am convinced, in the youth of any other country on earth. At present the zeal for ideas outruns persist ence in getting knowledge with which to back up the ideas. But It supplies an extraordinary vitality tc | the growing desire for knowledge and scientific method. Ii means that knowledge is being acquired not as 1 a technical device, nor as conven- tional badge of culture, but for so- cial application. If the students IT any higher school in China are asked why they are taking a particular course, tl4e greater number will an swer "To help our country" or "rt promote the reform of society," Dis count the superficiality with whicf many make this reply and there stil lremains a substantial basis for hop' for the future.
