said this morning. II have decided to
detail men to operate In plain clothes,
and I have every reason to believe
that we will succeed in ridding the

Agreement on Relief
For Russia Unlikely
Before End of Week
BY International News service

RIGA, Aug. 1S.-Additional issues
have been raised in the Russian relief
negotiations between Walter L.
Brown, representative of Secretary
Hoover, and NJ. Litvinoff, delegate of
the Soviet government. A complete
agreement may not be reached until
the end of this week. II was said today.
An agreement was reached late last
night upon two disputed points, as
follows:
/. Relief committees are to include
Russians of all classes, and the Ameri-
can Relief Association is to retain the
right Of deciding where relief shall be
distributed:
2. The American relief representa-
tives are to have complete freedom in
travelling through or leaving Russia
The negotiations had been in vir-
tual state of deadlock upon those two
questions, and Litvinoff had inspired
a long argumentative article in the
Novyput, the local Bolshevik organ,
the veiled threat to break
off negotiations.
Director Brown, following receipt
of advices from Washington, has re.
ferred to the American Government
two additional points which have
been raised in the course of the
negotiations. A reply from Wash.
ington is not expected before Satur.
day.
Litvinoff has been constantly
to get the distribution OF
the relief supplies into the Sovlet's
Americans were not following hu-
dictates, but mad political
aims in view.
"If the Americans really wanted
to help the famine sufferers, the
quickest way possible Is to make
use Of the food-supplying mechanism
that has been operating in Russia
for several years." Novyput sa ~.
"If the Americans had no other Oh.
Ject but helping the famine sufferers
on the Volga. they would choose any
They must meet the Soviet
half way or decide to end the ne.
gotiations."

Mile. Lenglen played too soon
after her landing in the United
States. She had no right to
play at all, and the fact that she
had crossed the ocean made it
worse.
When you take a horse across
the ocean you wait weeks before
racing 1t. How much more nee
essary is such a rest for the
most sensitive organization in
the world, a French girl, that
can jump six feet into the air,
and think where she will put the
ball while she is jumping. You
cannot Judge Mia LsnGlen By
this defeat. She is just what
she was before, the best tenni3
player in the world, and the most
marvellous female human mech
anism.
Henry Ford bought a railroad.
He raised wages, cut freight
rates, and showed a profit. The
railroad lost before he bought it.
The thing disturbs and sur
prises our respectable Interstate
Commerce Commission. In the
mysteriousness of its wisdom it
objects to Ford reducing rates SO
rapidly and tells him he must
stop cutting rates for the pres
ent. Other roads do not cause
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission any such worry.
The railroads, it would seem,
are not managed by people that
understand railroading or trans
portation generally. Why doesn't
the Government buy the rail-
roads and let Ford and Rookie
feller run them, taking whatever
percentage is reasonable for their
trouble and handing the rest to
the Government? Under that
arrangement you could reduce
rates, raise wages, increase
profits, and pay private owners
fairly.
Some foolish Bavarians are
crying, Long live the king"
You would think Bavaria had
had enough of kings of its kind.
The crazy king was not so bad;
he had a little private lake, a
private theater, and insisted on
real rain. But instead of spend
ing the peoples money in war,
he developed Wagner, who was
worth a million times the money.
The former king and the
crown prince are cheered now
by men dressed in the old uni
forms. But those are not the
real Bavarians, and if any Ba-
varian king tries to return he
will know how foolish Karl felt
when he went back to Hungary.
