 World War

St. Paul, Minn., June 15.---An in memorate the sacrifices of the World War, has just received the endorse ment of Cabot Ward, vice commander of the Inter-Al1ied Federation of Vet erans-
 In a letter to l. w Hamilton of St. a Pa9 whG daH fnfsrnafiona 3nft Nay obserR SS Re ance, MT. Ward said he was sure his endorsement would be ferated by Colonel Crosfield. head of the British Legion, and Charles Bertrand. pres ident of the Inter-Allied Veterans.
 Mir. Ward refers to the resolution adopted by the Inter-Allied Veterans that the orga nization's members should do all in their power to se- cure that other nations adopt May 30 as Memorial day for Ehose who gave their lives for their country in the late war;
 MT Hamilton also has letters from prominent Europeans approving the idea, which brought forth letter from Stephane LUZanne. editor of the Matin, Paris, with an editorial favor ing the proposal. Senator Edward Wavrfnsky of Stockholm, a member of the Interparliamentary Union, sad swedish papers will support the movement
 One point in MT. Hamilton's plan, which he stresses, is that on May 30, 'aII the world would halt it's activities for five minutes at noon, while silent tribute would be paid to the hero dead.''
 MT. Hamilton now is seeking the aid of Southern Senators to have the Memorial Day in the Northern states made national He hopes to accom- plish this through action by Congress

Call for Detective
 Brings 200 Amateur
 Sleuths to the Scene

(By International News Service)
 Chicago, June 15-They advertised here for a house detective-and they had to call out the police.
 The Loop" hotel which sought a light-footed guardian of the Slumber- ing peace will never seek again-by advertising.
 The lad" brought the strangest congress of amateur SleuthS, corre- spondence school Sherlocks, ambitious flat foots' and private dicks ever assembled outside the movies. There were 20 of them-
 They "detected'' the guests, visitors and finally each other. It all ended when some of the '%wise lads from around the corner" who were out doing this and that, broke into the congress. One of the smart lads" quietly lifted the shield, billy" and wallet from one sleuth.
 The uproar that followed when the Sherlock" found himself "frisked" was enough to cause the management to send in a call for regular police. That ended that.

 The 15 per cent cut originally be- ing threatened by the company it is believed will be modified The latest offer will be in the nature of a small cut in conformity to the trend of the times, and will likely offer a rate of cents an hour minimum and 56 maximum for three year men. This would represent about even ground between the present rate and the 15 per cent cut that the company en- deavored to put across at the first

 In Mexican Gave

San Antonio, Tex, June 15-Adam Fischer, of this city, has just returned to the States from a successful ten year search for hidden wealth in the heart of the mountains of Mexico Fischer claims to have located much sought after cave, where he says over S73.OOO, 900 worth of gold and silver bullion and Spanish octagonal dol lars have been concealed since the early part of the nineteenth century, He is awaiting a concession from the Mexican government in order to bring out the huge treasure he claims to have located
 Fischer asserts as his belief that bandits captured the treasure trove while it was being moved to a place of safety by agents of the old spanish Government to protect it from revolu- tionists who were then making war upon the Government The bandits were then slain by the revolutlonIsts, Fischer contends
 Fischer discovered the cache of gold, he says, through a friend who was at one time captured by the bandits and who learned of the location of the treasure. Fischer has been roaming the mountain businesses of Mexico Tor ten years in search of the treasure

You folks seem to think you've got to be hardy to live up North. But I'd give anything I've got to be out of here, where person can hear himself talk"

tina is estimated at more than 2o,- 0OO, 900 tons per year, all of which, it IS believed, could be supplied by Chile at the price of fifty Chile pa per pesos per ton. A Government export tax of five paper pesos a ton would probably be levied, netting the Chilean government approxl- mately the income formerly derived rom the nitrate industry. The prospects of developing the lumber exports are believed to be good.
 It is also predicted that the road would carry a considerable passen- ger traffic. The route of the pro- posed extension, which is from Cura- Cautin, in Chile, to Zapla, in Ar Sentina, lies through the rich Chile an Valley of Lonquimay, which is suitable for cultivation of all classes of agricultural products.

25O RUSSIAN
 STUDENTS STRANDED

Harbin, May 2-Delayed) There are at present in Harbin more than 25o young Russian students, men and women. who have been stranded by the eastward movement of refugees following the collapse of the Kolchak government eighteen months ago. In Fladivostok there are as many if not more
 A large percentage of these stud ents have completed their high-school course. The only institutions of high CT education available to them are the VladivostOk Institute of Oriental Ian guages and the NladivOstOk Techno- logical Institute, both of whom are seriously impaired by lack of experi- enced professors, libraries and equip ment. There is even an almost com plete lack of text books.
 Toward the end of 1920, pr. w. H. Butcher, of the American Red Cross. became interested in the fate of these young people and endeavOred to ar range for accommodation for them in American Educational Institutions. When the word got about. more than 30 registered for admission.
 P. s. Troitsky and F. Korapachin- sky, of theSEducational department of the Chinese Eastern Railway, them selves refugees, have perfected an or organization in Harbin with the ob- ject of assisting students to review their former courses of study and to learn English. They are also trying to devise means to send deserving stu dents to America to complete their education and to establish in America some organization to take charge of students upon arrival in cooperation with Harbin enterprise.
 Prof. Paul J. Blumenthal, who was m instructor in the Culver Military Academy twenty years ago and who was judge of the district court at Bielebei in the Ufa district when the revolution overlook him, is also try ing to ensure the future of these young Russians.
 Most of these young men and women,'' he said, "are deprived of all means, beIon ging to families whose only source consists of their culture having lost their property during the civil war. Their desire to go to Amer ca to study is prompted by an appre- citation of the sound spirit of Ameri- can institutions of learning and also by the com 2 rative accessibility of American Universities and higher technical schools. The Harbin re- fugee committee is almost without funds to carry out it's task. No doubt there are many such refugees in Pe- king. Tientsin and Shanghai who would join others if they saw any way to give their children the possi- bility of going to America to complete their education.
 Among those interested in this en- deavor in the States are MT. Joseph Okulich of Boston, Prof. Borodine Washington, D. C., and MT. M. A Kucenko, of Berkeley, Calf.

 It is charged that some of the l. NJ c. A. dormitory students have been cutting loose on vanilla extract on their Saturday night parties ana that the extract packs a wallop which makes the kick of white mule seem like a mere careSs in compari- son.

Chile Plans New Railroad Across The
 Andes to Relieve Economic Depression

Washington. D. C.. June 15.-A Possible means of relieving the eco homie depression in Chile. due to the slumping of the nitrate markets of the world following the war, is now under consideration by the Chilean Government, according to reports here today. This project, which con templates the building up of a coal export trade to replace the depleted nitrate ind duStry, provides for the, con struction of a railroad acroSs the Lower Andes, connecting the Chilean railway system with that of Argen- tina.
 By the construction of approxi- mately 155 miles of road, it is stated easy access could be had from Cen tral Chile to Beunos Aires and Ba- hia Blanca, and the chronic short age of coal and lumber in Argentina could be alleviated by drawing upon the surplus stocks of Chile
