Indifferent to the efforts of the va

arrangement. made through Leonid
Krassin, soviet minister Of trade and

little comment here. and the soviet
note to President Harding, seeking
trade relations with the United States,
did not inspire any press comment.
Neither German business men nor
German officials believe any consider
able business with Russia is possible
while the soviet government con-
tinues to monopolize business trans

trading.
Although the Germans generally be-
lieve England's agreement was made
largely for the purpose of getting
concessions and without the thought
that an important exchange of prod

government modifies it's policy. still
the German government is unwilling
to lag far behind in the Russian trade
negotiations because of the Importance

balloon missing since it left here

aboard could not have drifted to sea

balloon was last reported. naval

a double crew aboard set out from rom

eStS of west Florida.
Lieut.. Reed believes that the crew
of the drifting bag would have cut
away the basket to prevent its drop
ping into the gulf and would have
taken refuge in the rigging. A car
rier pigeon which arrived here with
a message from the aeronauts stated
that the balloon was twenty miles at
Sea off ST. Andrews bay Wednesday
night and that the bag was sinking
and then was about 100 feet above
the water.
Would Cut Away Basket.
If the basket had been cut away,
Lieut.. Reed said. the bag would have
risen. and he believes that the pre-
vailing winds would have blown it

they might have been brushed from it

Meanwhile, Scaplanes and naval ves-

of the balloon or it's occupants.

The balloon was a $4,000 cubic foot
