ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch


|, Warsaw, August Ralph Rimar,
formerly an art student in Detroit and
Charleston, w. Va, who left the Uni
ted States via Canada early in jan
uary this year with 700 other Rus
SLAMS, to take ur life under eclsheviki
rule, is now in this city. All the other
members of the party, he says, "have
had enough of Bolshevism and wish
they were back in the United States u
Mr.. Rimar was in Soviet Russia
three months, visiting Petrograd
Moscow, Kiev and other towns. Con-
ditions generally, he said, were gradu
ally becoming worse everywhere. The
Bolsheviki confiscated all his doc
umets, including $500, he said, as
well as copies of application fol
American citizenship, when he crossed
the Esthonian frontier on his way in
to Soviet Russia. He is eager to re-
turn to the United States but without
passport.
He says he never believed Bolshev-
ism was success in Russia but made
the trip ito satisfy his curiosity and
for fun" but that he didn't have any
pleasure at all, and his curiosity is
thoroughly satisfied. Mr.. Rimar said
he was arrested five times, went with
out square meal for twelve weeks
and that If he is ever able to get
back to the United States he will stay
there .'for all time"
Emma Goldman In ProdigaI
The prodigal says he made inquiries
about Emma Goldman during his tour
of Russia but no one with whom he
talked knew her whereabouts. From
other sources it was learned the de-
parted American anarchist leader is
living in Petrograd at hotel con
Quoted by the Soviets. Mr.. RimaI
went to the United States eight years
ago from part Of Russia which is
now included within the Polish re-
public and where his parents reside.
Many other Russians who left the
United States within the past lear
for their native country have become
dissatisfied and begun to drift back
across the frontiers of states border
ing Russia on the west. Some OF
these are planning to return to Amer
ica-if they can arrange it.
Bolshevik soldiers guard the Soviet
boundaries and only certain persons
are given permission to leave the
country, these including Polish pris-
oners who are being exchanged
Nevertheless, by bribery and other
means, great numbers of persons are
crossing into adjacent countries each
night. Polish government officials
have estimated that about $4,000 have
been entering Poland from Russia
every month, despite efforts Of the
Polish authorities to keep them out
Only very small percentage of these
people carry the proper Bolsheviki
credentials.

CHECK BOOZE TRADE
German ConsumptionNoW
Grows Rapidly
CAUSE OF CRIME WAVE
American Bars Being Installed
In Berlin; Suds Drinking
Passing
Associated Press Dispatch.l

Berlin, August, 1.-GonsuEapu.on OF
wines and liquors has been increasing
so rapidly in Germany since the wal
that the Reichstag has directed the
drafting of law, to be introduced al
the September session, to regulate the
traffic. The law also will check 9
growing increase in the number o.
saloons which, in Berlin particularly
moderates saS the health and morals
of the people are endangered.
The crime wave which has beer
sweeping the country for many months
filling the jails of every city and
severely taxing the resources Of the
police, is attributed by many to the
drink craze" and especially to the
more general use, among the poorer
Germans, of cheap cognacs green
WHISTLES, gin and other hard liquors .
The Germans, in fact, are gradually
losing their old reputation as beer
drinkers although an abundance OF
beer is obtainable.
Install American Bars
Practically all the cafes and wine
rooms of Berlin are installing "Ameri-
can bars" and even the high priced
cabarets, where once only best wines
charge was made, now have long ma
hogany bars, against which the Gus
toner may lean, with his feet on 9
brass rail and drink as long as he has
the price of drink or the bartender
will trust him.
There is no charge for a place al
the bar Lut to sit at the table it is
compulsory to drink champagne, OF
some other wine of similar price, with
proportionate profit to the proprietor.
The. consumption of champagne has
outstripped all previous records dur
the past twelve months, mounting to
more than 100000 bottles. The
principal rendezvous Of the heavy anG
habitual champagne drinker is the
night saloon" which does not open
until late afternoon or early evening
but continues serving it's customer!
until early morning, although the Of
fetal closing hour is 1870 at night.
Publication of the statistics of cham
payne consumption recently brough
a prompt demand from radical social
lists and labor organizations for NOR,
rigorous control of this traffic which
it was alleged, represented the priv
leges" secured by the profiteers anC
the moneyed foreigners who frequen
the capital There is also a wide
spread demand for enforcement of tn,
closing law. r

westbound, on the Pennsylvania rail
road at Cassandra ninety miles east

o'clock and after wounding A. j. LantZ,

escaped.
A bandit boarded the train at Cass-
andra and covered the engineer with
a revolver. At about the same time,
the mail car was robbed. Train Of
ficials are in doubt whether it was
the work of single bandit who GOV
the mail car, or whether there was
an accomplice. The bandit or ban
dts made their escape.
Climber Over Coal Tender.
The robbery occurred between
Gallitzen and Cassandra, while the
train was in motion, two robbers hav-
ing boarded the train when it stopped
to drop the helper" an engine which
assists heavy passenger trains over
mountain grades. They climbed down
over the coal in the tender and while
mail car, ordered the engineer to stop
the train. This he did, and at almost
the same moment, series of shots
sounded from the mail car which v as
hitched just behind the engine
Two of the bandits upon boarding
the car, ordered the seven clerks al
work there to throw up their hands
They complied, and the bandits select
ing Lantz, demanded to know from him
where the valuable mail was kept
Lantz told them there was no valuabie
mail on board, at which one of the
bandit opened fire on him, shooting
him through both legs.
Federal and county authorities were
quickly notified and were joined in q
search later by a detail of state police
Soon after daylight they found mai
bag, evidently one stolen from the
car. 1t had been slit open and the
contents removed.

They put out thousands of tags
each year. On one side of these tags
are these words, Il am a county fair

distance in miles. they think in

made this possible, because it Is re-
