CREDIT TO RUSSIA
HINGES ON SOVIET
Recognition of international
Law Must Precede Any
PecuniarY Aid.

BRUSSELS. Oct. s.-The Interna-
tional Commission for the Relief Of
Russia has begun its sessions here.
At the outset the delegates from
Great Britain and France made the
announcement that their govern
ments would not agree to the ex-
tension Of credits to Russia so long
as the Soviet government refused TO
recognize the principles of interna-
tional law-presumably referring to
Russian external debts.
The conference decided upon the
immediate dispatch of foodstuffs TO
the impoverished regions, but TO
postpone giving economic aid until
an official investigation Of all con-
ditions in Russia had been made.
Walter Lyman Brown. American
delegate to the commission, ex-
planned the Hoover system Of relief
under which the Americans retain
complete control over the supplies
they are furnishing. The commission
probably will adopt this system
rather than the plan OF DR.. Fridtjot
Nanssn. which calls for a mixed ad
ministration, which would include
members of the Soviet government
on the controlling board.

Charles Carroll
OF Carrouton
Dies in France

BALTIMORE, Oct. 6. Charles
Carroll, of Carrollton, Nd. died sud
denly today in his villa At Mentone,
near Nice. France, according to
word received in Baltimore.
Mr.. Carroll was the son of the
late Gov. John Lee. Carroll.
Mr.. Carroll had spent the greater
part Of his life in the French capi-
tai. but with his wife, who was
formerly Miss Bancroft, grand
daughter of the celebrated histo-
rian. he returned to the wonderful
Carroll estate. Doughoregan Manor,
near Ellicott City, a few years ago.
The reopening Of Doughoregan
was one of the most extraordinary
social affairs Maryland has seen In
generations.
One of the striking. picturesque
features of the occasion was the
celebration of mass in the chapel
adjoining the house by the late
Cardinal Gibbons, who was an In
timate friend of the family, and
the reading Of a message from the
Pope.
The Carrolls are descended from
the old kings of Munster in Ireland.
The Charles Carroll who nrsi
came to this country when the ac-
cession OF William and Mary drove
many Catholics to this country was
landed proprietor in Maryland
and II was his grandson who signed
the Declaration Of independence.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Lieut. Louis
A. Kloor. commander of the balloon

country last December, has been
detached from the United States

sence in the meantime, and will
Immediately take his departure

Kloor was one of the reserve
officers at the Rockaway station

ders from Washington that his

ber /.
With Kloor at the time the bal
loon was lost in the North woods
were Lieut.. Walter Hinton and
Lieut.. Stephen A. Farrell. Hinton
was transferred some time ago to
