The Presidents expression. although
said by officials close 10 him to have

IRISH PARLIAMENT
 MAY BE APPOINTED
King George Is Authorized to Do So by the Recent
 Home Rule Act
nx AssocInted rresA

Dublin, June liking George may have to appoint Parliament from the south of Ireland He Is author ized by the Home Rule Act to do so if the members elected fail to take the oath of office within IA days aft CT the date fixed for the assemblage of the new Parliament.
 This fact is important in view of the announcement that the Sim Fein- CTS nominated without opposition for the new Parliament, and thus vir- tually elected. have been accepted by the Irish leaders as constituting the new members of the Dali Eireann; suggesting the probability that they will refuse to constitute Parliament for which they were chosen.
 In that event, King George is au thorized by the Home Rule Act to ap point a committee consisting Of members of the Irish Privy Council and such other persons as he may choose, and constitute these persons legislative and executive assem- ply to exercise the functions of the Parliament.
 This provision Is described by the Opponents of the Act as the estab- lishment of crown colony govern ment. It Is evident that it makes 1t easy for the government at once to take measures for setting up the Southern Parliament at or near the same time as the Northern. Under this method, Southern Ireland would be governed by a committee of nom mated Irishmen instead of at pres ent by nominated British officials

UNION OF CENTRAL AMERICANS MAY
 NOT BE CONCLUDED
Eleventh Hour Boundary Dis pute Between Honduras and Guatemala Has
 Come to the Front
nH ArsocIntcd Press

Guatemala. June 1s.--Just as the time that the union of four of the Central American republics Is being announced by It's supporters as fact, a question of the boundary be- tween Honduras and Guatemala has come to the front. It is reported here that armed forces from Hon. duras have occupied tho disputed ter ritory
 Honduras lays claim to a strip of territory to the south and east of the Motagua river which has been in the possession of Guatemala, lf not since time immemorial, at least since Guatemala became fndepen- dent. It consists for the most part of a tropical wilderness covered with interminable forests range of mountains forms the southern boun- dary of this wilderness. With the building of the railroad from Puerto Barrios to Guatemala City, and tho development of banana plantations along It's route and on the Motagua river settlements have naturally sprung up in the wilderness, and purchases of the vacant lands have followed.
 Now Honduras bases it's claims to this territory on some old Spanish maps and surveys said to have exist ed whom the whole of Central Amer lea was known as the Kingdom Of Guatemala and was governed by viceroy at the old city of Guatemala
 Sensational reports have been pub lished in two of the daily newspapers here recently concerning this claim of Honduras in which insinuationS are made that representatives Of Guatemala actually sold the interests of Guatemala to the Honduranians.

LEVINE KEEPS HIS
 PEN BUSY TRYING
 WORK ON PEASANTS
Radicals Insist That Free Trade Policy Is Failure and Want Return to IroncIad
 Communism
By Associated Press

Riga, June 11.-NeWSpaperS now al bearing in Moscow give some ink ling of the struggle in Russia dur tempt to restore something like normal civilization, along the line of Lenine's new policy of freedom ot trade, and at the same time retain power in the hands of the commun- ists.
 Reform after reform has been an- nounced. but the Moscow papers say that difficulties are arising at every turn.
 Lenine, hopeful of success, is keep ing his pen busy day and night writ ing article after article explaining why the reforms were necessary and urging the peasants to support him.
 Secklov and other more radical writers, however, are filling the Pravda and Izvestia with arguments in which they attempt to show that free trade already has proved an utter failure. They are also adopt ing the q told you so" attitude and suggesting a return to ironclad com munism.
 During the period of transition no American or other foreign news cor respondents were admitted into Rus sia and only occasional news ad- missions or editorial controversy IS printed in the Moscow press.
 The Moscow Economic Life of May 5. displays hopefully an account Of a peasants conference which agreed on the necessity of the nom -partisans working with the communists to re- store Russia; but other papers edi- torially bemoan the fact that the peasants are not interested and won't do anything at all"
 Information from independent sources, however, indicates that Len inc has no real opposition that he could not sweep away quickly ana that the situation is now entirely up to him. He is being guarded more closely than ever in view of the rumors in Moscow of a new plot to assassinate him and other commits sarieS.

TRADE AGREEMENT
 BETWEEN GERMANY AND RUSSIA GIVEN
Provisions May Be of PeCu- liar Interest to the United States, as Vital Points
 Are Covered
By Associated Press

Riga, June 1S.--The text of the trade agreement recently negotiated between the German government and the Russian socialist federative soy- let republic has been made public here. It's provisions are significant in view of the fact that this is one of series of similar agreements all ready negotiated or in process of ne- gotiation between Russia and other nations, such as Great Britain, Italy and Czecho- Slovakia.
 The provisions may be of peculiar interest to the United states, owing to the attempt of the Russian gov ernment to effect trade agreement with the United States, which re- suited in notification by the Ameri- can state department to Russia that the soviet government had no chance of recognition In any form by the United States so long as Americans were held prisoners in Russia.
 One of the most interesting pro- visions of the Russo German agree ment Is that the representatives of both Germany and Russia are bound by 1t to refrain from every form ot agitation or propaganda against the government or the state institutions
 
 ton Is located.
 These delegations will be oom- posed, under the new agreement, to missions already existing for the purpose of looking after the affairs of war prisoners in both countries. The scope of the activities of these delegations is extended So that they are authorized to protect the Inter- ests of citizens of both Germany and Russia. The membership of the mis- sions is increased by attaching to them additional delegates whose du- t.es are to develop economic rela- tions
 It is expressly provided that the representation of the Russian repuo lie in Germany must be regarded as the only representation of the Rus sian state in Germany" The respective missions are to be authorized to perform the work usu- ally done by consuls, such as the Is suance of passports.
 The Russian government agrees to allow persons who were formerly German subjects, but who have lost that nationality to leave Russia and to take with them their wives and children, provided they give proof of an intention to settle down in Ger many.
 l Both governments guarantee free dom of traffic to ships, according to the stipulations of international law. Both promise to take steps to resume communication between the two countries by the post, telegraph and vii eless.
 The agreement is described In it's text as provisional" intended to serve as basis of economic rela- ticns, pending the conclusion of a | future trade treaty

MUSIC AS A FORCE AND NOT ADJUNCT
Anna Oberndorfer Makes Ad- dress Before Women's Clubs
 at the Salt Lake Council
By Associated Press

Salt Lake City, Utah, June 1S.-Mu- sic has become a force and not an adjunct In the life of every Ameri- can citizen. Anna Faulkner Obern- dorfer. Chicago, nAtional music chair man of the General Federation of Women's clubs. declared in an ad- dress here at the federation's Great Salk Lake council.
 "We Americans have had the wrong attitude regarding pusic for so long that 1t is difficult Tor us to grasp quickly the full realization of It's power" she said. AS nation we have treated music as thing apart from. instead of part of. our daily life. It is not so many years ago that the average American bus mess man was all but ashamed to acknowledge a love for music.
 Now a change has come. If we review the pages of musical history we will find that the greatest grow th in music always follows some great war The pre-war status of music in America will never return
 Mrs. Oberndorfer urged daily music hours in the homes during which the folk songs of America will be sung. Music memory contests should be started in every community by wom- en's clubs. she declared.
 The speaker declared many large industries. which started communi- ty sings for employees during war times, were forced to forbid the sing ing of "jazz" music in their fac tories.
 "Jazz' music" she said. fin its original form was used as accompan- iment to the voodoo ceremonies by which the uneducated and almost barbaric aroused all his vilest and most sensuous nature"

progress in her efforts to esta blish
 erself in the Hellenic markets, her exports to Greece during the first eight months of last year being only slightly less than her exports for the whole pre-war year of 1913, and 4J times greater than her exports in 1919.
 Shipments to the United States in 1920 of entrants and figs snowed a large increase as result of a good crop and a favorable demand. Ex- ports of animal skins, an important product of Greece. were much less than in 1919, owing to increased de- mand from German markets which consumed large part of the local stocks.
 Some of the odd articles of export from Greece to the United States were hoofs and horns. bridal wredths animal bones, intestines, octupus fish, and altar of roses.
 Greece's olive yield in 1920 was 50,265,400 gallons, 100000 gallons of which went to the United States.

AMERICAN INDIAN
 NOT DECREASING
 IN UNITED STATES
More Than 0ne-Third of a Million, and 57 Distinct Languages Spoken
 by Them
By Associated Press

St. Paul, June 1S.--The American Indians are not decreasing in num- bers, according to pr. Elmev E. Hig- ley, of Des Moines, who was recently appointed superintendent of Indian work of the Methodist Episcopal church, who is here attending the conference of American Indian mis- sionaries.
 There are more than onethi-d o. million Indians in the United States" added Rev. Higley, and 51 distinct languages are spoken
 "A survey among the Indians has just recently been made my the cen tenary officials and shows that not only the ull-blooded Indians are in . creasing, but also the mixed bloods, with better homes, medical attention, and better care of Indian babies, anl with the missionaries taking the gos- pei of soap, sanitation, and salvation, the increase of the number Of In dians will continue
 "Two-thirds cannot understand the American language Thirteen per cent of the Indians gre afflicted with tuberculosis, and S0.000 suffer from trachoma. Three out of every five Indian children die before the age of foye years.
 There are 430 Protestant mission aries and 275 Catholic, with 616 church buildings with a membership of 42,0O0 Protcstants and 51,000 Cath clics
 Fully two-thirds of the whole In dian population is yet without gos pei privileges whatever, either Pro- testant or Catholic The Methodist centenary programme plans large en- terprises among the red hen"
 The following letter from commits sioner of Indian affairs, Charles Il. Burke, to the Rev. Higley, was read at the conference:
 "The progress that has been made in the civilization of the Indians an l their present development would have been impossible if 1t had not Teen for the missionaries that were the pioneers In laying the founda- tion for the religious and educational welfare of these people, and 1t is my hope that we may have the assistance and cooperation of all missionary societies in our endeavor to hasten the time when all of the Indians in the country may become respect able, self-supporting, Christian citi- zens."
 A second conference of Indians will be held at Salem, Ore, on June 27.
