sharp note to the Russian Soviet govern
ment relative to hostile activities of
Bolshcvik agents in the Near East and
in India today claimed precedence in in
terest here over the Irish situation. The
protest sent to Chitcherip, Soviet foreign

yelopments.
Soviet Russia was accused Of having
carried on propaganda in Persia and
Afghanistan, with sending agents into
eastern Afghanistan to get in touch with
disorderly clements in India, and with
preventing a settlement of nending dis
putes between the Turkish Nationalists
and the allied powers.
The Soviet government was asked for
assurances that these activities would
cease and it was intimated that the com
mercial agreement between this country
and Russia would be imperiled by con
tinued hostile Vaccinations by BOlshe-
vik emiSsarics.

SUGGESTION FOR
WEST RIVER r. r.
Gasoline Driven Street Car in Use on
Short Road I'm Virginia Where
Autos Have Hurt Traffic

The Wardsboro Center correspondent
OF this newspaper sends a picture of a
gasoline car used on the Chesapeake &
Western railroad, a short railroad in
Virginia with the suggestion that such
a car might be run ON the West River
railroad. 1t is modern passenger
street car driven by a gasoline engine
and carries from % to a passengers.
The road has been hard hit by the au-
tomobile business. which Is the reason
for adopting this method. The new
car stops at any point along the line
to pick up or deliver passengers,
whether at a station or at a cornfield,
and Is proving popular to the travelling
public and to farmers living along the
line. The company will add more ears
if the traffic demands them.
Cars of this type could be used for
carrying mail and express, as well as
passenger
