families, assisted by the unemployed
workmen, built shacks on lands belong
ing to the Mayorazgo hacienda, upon

Review of Situation

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-A review
of the situation in Russia, based on
statements in the Soviet-controlled
press, was issued tonight by the Com
merce Department.
A new economic policy, the depart
ment said, is being evolved by the
Bolshevist leaders, tightening the re-
strlctions of Communism and aiming
at the partial establishment Of
private trade and industry and at in
creasng the incentive to production
Communistic management Of industry
in Russia, it added, had resulted in a
general dlsorganization of economic
life.
Lcnine, in a speech in October, rec
ognized the defeat of Communism, ac-
cording to the department. He was
quoted as saying:
The substance of our new economic
policy is dictated by the recognition
OF the fact that we have suffered a
powerful defeat and commenced sys-
tematic strategic retreat. Thele can
be no doubt in the minds of the Com
hunlsts that we have suffered defeat
on the economic front, and mighty
crushing defeat, and thus we are facjny
consciously and deliberately the new
economic policy"
The main features of this new nol-
lcy, the department. reported, includc
tfe partial restoration of freedom If
trade in agricultural products. aban-
donment of the practice of unrestricred
requisltion of labor and the substir,.-
tion OF fixed labor tax, abandonment
OF uniform wages for employees Of tts
same grade in enterprises operated hv
the state and the substitution of com
pensation according to the service rem
dered, leasing to private individuals or
certain industrial establishments hitn-
erto controlled by the state. and an
terprises still operated by the stat,.
are to adopt commercial princinles

state enterprises market value for ma.

Anne eStillmanHome
Unexpectedly for
Christmas Holiday
Asked if She Will Dine
With Father or Mother,
She Says: ssWith Neither;
[ Shall BE With Friends''

Miss Anne Stillman, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. James A. Stillman, who are
suing each other for divorce, arrived
here unexpectedly yesterday from
Southampton Oh the White Star liner
Adriatic. The young woman, who had
been attending school abroad, said she
had come home for the holidays. Asked
if she would dine with her father or
her mother, Miss Stillman replied:
With neither l shall be with
friends"
Miss Stillman was accompanied on
the Adriatc by Miss Frances and
Henry P Dawson jr., the children of
Henry +. DAWSON. Both had been
abroad at school. The three young
folk we're met at the pier by Mrs.
Dawson.
Another traveller on the Adratic was
1rving 7. Bush, who has been abroad
several months Attending to tho con-
stru cion OF "Bush House" in London,
which will cost $s,ooo,Oo0. The build
insss in London, which are similar to
the Bush Stores which Mr.. Rush built
in South Brooklyn, are only partly COM
pleted. The construction thus far, he
said, had cost $2,9o0,000.
He said he was in Vienna December 1
and saw rom his window in the Hotel
Bristol riot carried on by a mob
against stores and hotels and res
taurants. The rioters broke windows,
he said, and helped themselves to
whatever suited their fancy. 1t was
reported, Mr.. Bush said, that the riot
was Communist uprising, but it was
his impression that it was merely an
oVtburst of temper on the part of the
people generally who were .enragcd
over the fluctuations in exchange and
the high cost OF bread, over which the
government had relinquished control.

Trilby sang "Bcn Bolt'' ogain last

The National Players, the recently

turned backward to good, old-fashioned
"Trilby," with its bohemian life in

George du Maurier's novel has done
good service in the theater and last
night it again proved diverting enter
tainment, although not entirely favored
by competent playing.
Wilton Lackaye, whose name cannot
be mentioned without associating it
with the role of Svengah, familiar With
the characters needs, stood out by his
EFFORTS from his associates who strove.
out mostly IN vain, to keep pace with
him. Whenever Mr.. Lackaye's Mephis-

Hungary 10 Appoint Count as
Minister TO Washington

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Hungary is
preparing to name Count Laszlo
S2echenyi, who, in 1908, married
Gladys NJ. Vanderbilt, of New York, as
it's new Minister TO Washington.
Count SZechenyis name was sub
mitted for approval of the American
government some time ago and it is
understood his appointment will in
every way be acceptable.
Hungary has not been represented
officially in Washington since the en-
trance of the United States into the
World War, and the projected resump-
ton of diplomatic relations follows the
exchange of treaty ratification between
this country and Hungary at Budapest
several days ago.
Press dispatches from Budapest late
i'll October said Count Szechenvi would
be designated as Minister to Washing
ton, but it was reported several days
later than he had declined the place.
