OPTIMISTIC VIEW.
OF TRADE REVIVAL
In LABOR REPORT
Survey of District Indi-
Gates Activity in Build

General optimism which every
where agrees as TO the certainty of
a business revival varies only in the
time it may be expected to arrive,
the employment service of the De-
psrtment of Labor announces the re-
suit of its survey for the month of
July.
Increases in employment are
shown in railroad repair shops; We
hicles for land transportation;
leather and its finished products;
textiles and their products: lumber
and its manufactures. tobacco manu-
factures and paper and printing.
Healthy Outlook Here.
The encouraging tone of the re-
port is neutralized somewhat by the
statement that considerable unem-
ployment still exists but is confined
generally 10 those without trade or
profession.
In the District of Columbia, the
report shows a demand for expert
auto mechanics and considerable ac-
tivity in the building trades. The

I. France is going home to intro
duce a resolution in the Senate IA
voring immediate recognition Of
Russia One of the reasons for the
Senator's action is hts hope that
friendship : withas Russia will
strengthen Americas position in the
Far East, where he fears Japan's
growing imperialism.
"Japan's imperialism is pushing
America to the side Of Russia" said
the Senator. Both the American
and Russian people hate a policy of
imperialistic expansion. To prevent
this America must come to the aid
Of Russia through recognition and
by the restoration of trade and
credits so that Russia can rebuild
and take its place among the ma
tons"
Senator France is the first Ameri-
can to visit and return from Russia
for many months. At present he is
in Berlin writing his Impressions.
Before 1 went to Russia I advo-
Gated merely the reopening OF
trade" said the Senator. but now. 1
am. convinced that recognition is
necessary"
He openly expressed himself as
pleased with the Soviet's leaders.
"Lenin is one of the greatest men
that I ever met" he said. He is a
person who unites scientific tradi-
ton with tremendous organizing
capacity and observation-disclosures. Al
the same time he is naturally plain
and upright My pre-conceived no.
tion of Trotzky was that he was a
revenge seeker, a madman and a
lover of power. / was astonished

pathetic person I met. Trotzky Is

NAPLES. Aug. 4.-The beloved
Naples of Enrico caruso was given
over to grief as the great singer
was buried late today with all the
honors that King Victor Emman-
uel. the Italian government, the
aristocracy and the poorest of the
poor could render.
Caruso's requiem services in the
Church of San Francisco di Paola,
the church of royalty, were cere-

stratum of society.
Great Singers There.
Great singers, whose voices COM
mand princely prices on the oper-
attic stage in Italy and America.
Joined in a tremendous chorus for
the memory of Caruso-the great
est tenor of them all, called by
his friends the greatest Italian of
his day. Four hundred voices
blended in a glorious burst Of song
for the dead singer, then gradually
abated until the sobs Of the poor
in the streets could be heard above
the murmur from within the edi-
flee.
There was a hush in the streets:
the otel Vesuvius. where Caruso
died and lay in state, had the at
mosphere of a chapel. King Vic
tor Emmanuel himself invited Mrs.
Caruso to hold the services in the
Church Of San Francisco di Paola.

for funeral services for any one

Queen sent her condolences. So

laborers working with unwontcd
zeal had thrown up a laHge plat
