GUARD BORDER
Only Certain Persons Given
Permission to Leave
Russia.

Warsaw, July Bolshe-
vik soldiers guard the Russian border
and only certain persons are given
permission to leave the country, yet
by bribery and other means, great
numbers of persons are crossing into
adjacent countries each night.
Polish government officials have es-
timated that about $4,000 have been
entering Poland from Russia every
authorities to keep them out. Only a
very small percentage of these people
carry the proper credentials from the
Bolsheviki. I
A recent arrival in Warsaw from
Russia was Ralph Rimar, formerly an
art student in Detroit and Charleston,
W. Va, who left America, via Can
ada, early in January this year, with
700 other Russians. Rimar went to
the United States eight years ago
from a part of Russia which is now
included within the Polish republic
where his parents reside.
Rimar says that when he last saw
the emigrants whom he had accom-
panied to Russia all had had enough
of the Bolshevik regime and wished
that they were back in the states.
Rimar was in Russia three months,
visiting Petrograd, Moscow, Kiev and
other cities and towns. Conditions
generally, he said, were gradually be-
coming worse, everywhere. He is
eager to return to the United States
but, without credentials, is unable to
get a transport.
Rimar says he went to Russia to
satisfy his curiosity and for fun-but
that he didn't have any pleasure at all,
and that his curiosity is thoroughly
satisfied. He was arrested five times
went without square meal for IL
weeks and that if he is ever able to
get back to the United States he wifi
stay but there for a time e"r.

No New Subjects Of I'm.

Up at Session.

Geneva. July So (Mail)-The
agenda of the next meeting of the as
ysembly of the League of Nations to be
held here September 5, is not expected
to contain any new subject of par
ticular Importance, though the mem
bers still have time to submit any
subjects they would like to have dis
cussed.
Thus far there is only one item put
on the agenda at the request Of a
member, the Tacna-Arica dispute,
which will be listed at the request of
Bolivia. n
Not many such requests are expect
ed, most of the work that will come
before the popular body of the league
being the outgrowth of work already
begun, such as disarmament, the in
ternational court and the continuation
of work that was referred to special
commissions such as the fight against
the white slave traffic, against opium
and for better transit facilities.
AS the work in sight stands, the or
der of business, with such modifica-
tions as may be made necessary by
subsequent requests of members, will
be: <a

and better than it has BEEN, and the
machinery show compared very favor
ably with other machinery shows,
The attractions were. Of the finest.
The grandstand program, which was
featured by auto polo contests and the
fireworks display, was exceptionally
good, and the c. A. WORKMAN carnival
shows gave entire satisfactio on the
Midway.

excellent work in preparing for the
fair and in conducting it. A North
Dakota fair never has received such
preliminary advertising and never has
a fair progressed more smoothly, Mr..

had the able assistance of Miss Irene
Fee, assistant secretary, who handled
a number of the features Of the fair
in a very creditable manner Then
there was the corps Of superintend-

work. These superintendent are:
