ganization and training Of the Nation
al Guard and the reserves should be

this duty be assigned to an individual

ted to take an active interest in these

The letter, explanatory Of the new

cit was the evident intent Of Con
gress to provide permanent peace
organization for our traditional citi-

ways been extemporized after the oc
currence Of an emergency. AS the law
especially encourages the voluntary
enrolment of veterans of the war in

army, it specifically contemplates the
perpetuation Of the spirit and tradf
tions Of the divisions and other units
which actually participated in the
World War.

IN FUR PRODUCTION
(By Z. S. ress)

Washington, July 19.-The sale of
furs in the United States for the
year 1920, says report Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture Biolocal Survey,
to approximately $10O,O0O,-
900, placing this country first in the
production and use of furs. The gross
business Of fur import export AMI
handling in New York alone amounted
to 1915, 100000 in 1919 The present de-
preston in the fur market is regarded,
says the report, as a transient feature
of the readjust ment period.
Owing to the former extreme activ-
ity of trappers stimulated by an in
satiable demand for furs, the thinning
ranks of wild fur-bearing animals have
made extremely profitable the rearing
Of these animals in captivity, notably
silver black foxes.

RUSSIAN AMERICANS
HOPE To RETURN

Riga, Latvia, July 19.-Little groups
ported or volunteered to 90 from
America to Soviet Russia, are trick
ling back across the Latvian frontier
from the land Of the BolsheviAi very
frequently, these days, all with tle
hope of getting back to the United
States
These emigrants, according to
American consular officials. who
hear their stories and have to tell
to get back, are greatly disappointed
with what they found III the ''Prom-
ise Land. -
They tell Of starvation and long
rides in trains SO packed with people
that there is scarcely room to breath.
Besides those who have succeeded
in getting to Latvia, there are many
others who have written friends IN
Riga asking for money from America.
The Moscow correspondent Of the
Riga Rundschau writes as follows
about the Russian Americans inside
tho country:
1.-The numbers Of Russian Commup-
lists expelled from America, who with
wry faces are selling their last goods
and chattles on the Moscow market
places are increasing every day.
''The Soviet government is doing
it's utmost to keep these people above
water by giving them even whole fac
tories to run and to manage. But as
these factories are very much run
down. even American spirit and energy
is not sufficiently strong to set them
in operation
GA little better off are those Of the

with them from America their tools
or goods produced by their trade.
Such people are doing a big business
and can afford to live we'll. Thus.
one party Of emigrants has succeeded
in installing a small sewing factory con
tanning about 800 sewing machines.
"Formerly the Soviet governm ent
would have simply confiscated this
lucrative enterprise but at present
the government is little wary, the
more so as in this case they have to
do with immigrants whom they make
