DR.. Benesh, former former for
eign minister and now prime minis
ter of Czecho-Slovakia, is one of
the strongest and sanest statesmen
of Europe today. He Is credited
with being the creator of the little
entente. that alliance of Czecho-
Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia and Rumania.
which has twice prevented the for
mer Emperor Karl from regaining
the throne of Hungary and plung-
ing Europe into war thereby. DR..
Benesh conducted the foreign af-
fairs of Czecho-Slovakia while he
was foreign minister with extraor-
binary skill. Early in 1921 he an
nounced a policy of peace and re-
conciliation with all European coun-
tries, with the reservation that his
country would take up arms to pre-
vent the restoration of a Hapsburg.
Under his guidance Czecho-Slova-
kia's relations with Austria, with
Poland, with Germany, have greatly
improved. Recently DR.. Benesh
contributed an article to the
Prayer Presse dealing with the ex-
pected economic conference. His
article is particularly interesting
in its discussion of the Russian sit
uation. In general European re-
habilitation, DR.. Benesh holds that
each country must, first, set Its
own house in order, without expect
ing help from others. Then 1t must
aid in external consolidation, as he
puts ii, through commercial treaties,
free intercourse and the abolition
OF isolation. Concerning the Rus.
sian problem, he says:
In the Russian question an in
ternational conference might, per-
haps, achieve some positive result.
The Bolshevik government is seek
ing for ways to renew the economic
activity Of Russia, and has arrived
at the opinion that there are only
two possibilities: 1. 1t is essential
to open up connections with foreign
countries on as broad a basis as
possible. and thus inaugurate an
active economic cooperation with
the rest of the world. 2. This can
only be accomplished by recogniz-
ing the principles of international
law, by acknowledging the none
tary obligations of the former
Czarist regime. by recognizing tho
property rights both OF its own citi-
Gems and Of foreigners, and by con-
GLIDING agreements, mainly eco
nomfc agreements. with other
states.

SIBERIAN WEALTH I,

Financiers of Europe
Ready to Exploit
Vast Resources.

LONDON, Jan. zs.-Exploitation Of
the vast natural resources Of Russia
and Siberia IL today a question Of
paramount Importance in European
political and Industrial circles.
Fnanciers in England. France, Ger
many and Italy are striving to perfect
arrangements whereby the colossal
deposits of coal and other minerals.
10 say nothing OF the furs, skins and
potential grain and timber supplies OF
russia, may be made available for
Europe and the rest of the world.
wherefore. a report that has just
oeen Issued by the Russian Trade
Delegatton here In London. assumes
special Importance, inasmuch as 1t
gNes the latest information avail
able regarding the locsed-up riches
OF Siberia The report In question
was compiled for the Siberian
Economic Council by a special
Soviet Commission that has just
finished investigating conditions
and prospects OF Siberian industry.
While Siberia today Is producing
coal in quantity almost as great as
pre-war, the report declares that the
worlds greatest coalfield along the
Northern reaches Of the Yenisei
River. Is untouched. This field Is
stated to be forty times as large as
the great Donetz coal basin In
southern Russia: and three times
the area of the largest field in
America.
The bulk of the Yenisei coal de-
posits lie about 100 to $50 miles away
from the river and there is no rail-
way within 500 miles OF any part OF
the field According to the Russian
investigators this coal is of good
quality. Lack of transportation
facilities have prevented any de-
yelopment of the area.
Meanwhile work in the other ST.
oerian fields during 1921 reached pro-
portions that apparently gratified the
Soviet authorities. During 1922 the
Soviet authorities have made plans to
secure LOO. 900 tons.
Only one per cent Of Siberia's ire
mendous wealth can be touched now,
because Of lack of transportation
facilities. New railroads, the report
declares. would be the key to mex
haustible stores of wealth. The
forests are estimated to contain more
than half-some estimates are as
high as sixty-three per cent-of the
timber reserves Of the whole world
Before the war. It is stated. seventy
per cent Of the good fur put on the
world market came from Siberia.
Gold, coal. graphite, mica, man.
ganese, wolfram lie on the surface;
the forests TEEN with game, the rivers
and CULTS with fish.
Railroads-it is pointed out
would make this wealth available
for world use. Today, the Trans
Siberian Railway is the only line
really crossing the continent. Some
branch lines run southwark, but to
the north, railway transport prac-
ucally unexists. However, the
soviets are optimistic regarding
enlarged usage of the great Siber-
Ian waterways
One great source of Siberian
wealth-the fur industry-is not to
be leased for foreign exploitation.
The Soviets propose keeping this
business in Russian hands, for the
reason that the trapping and COL
lection of furs does not require
either machinery pr other equip
ment

Shenandoah Pupils
To Haze Dentist

STRASBURG, Va, Jan. 2s.-A
plan has been worked out with the
dental department of the State
Board of Health for placing an
itinerant dentist in schools of this
county, beginning February l. This
work will be under the direction of
the Shenandoah Chapter of the Red
Cross, the County School Board and
the State Board of Health.
The dentist will go to the most
remote schools first and work up
to the various towns. The fee for
treatment will average about so
cents per child, as the State Board
of Health and Red Cross Chapter
OF the County will each pay a third
of the cost.

weed U. >. Machinery.
In their economic report on ST.
IBERIA the Soviets frankly empha-
siz need of American machinery for
developing the Siberian gold de-
posits. Best known of the Siberian
mines are those of the Lena district
1900 miles away from the from
tiers OF European Russia, and 200
miles from the railway. Output of
gold has been decreased because OF
the food shortage, and shortage Of
other essentials. Stocks of graph
lite. mica, manganese, wolfram and
asbestos have been accumulated for
export. and il is stated in the report
that these rarer metals will be
moved when export through Vladi-
vostok becomes practicable.
Announcement is made that the
"Angar" iron works-second larg-
est in Siberia-have been restored
by the Soviet government and are
in full working order.
Among the lesser Industries of
Siberia, glassmaking is most i'm
portant.
The Znamensk glass works have
been re-equipped and turned out
1000 cases of ordinary glass in
1921. During 1929 it Is planned to
manufacture 5000 cases. At this
factory special attention is being
paid to the manufacture of glass
for scientific and optical purposes.

INQUIRY BEGUN
INTO DEATH Of
THREE A|RMEN
Military Board Summoned.
Machines Fell 1000
Feet to Earth.

Marine corps officials today
began a sweeping inquiry into the
deaths yesterday of three aviators
at Quantico, Va. The deaths re-
suited when two planes, engaged in
a mock battle, crashed in mid-air
and dropped 1000 feet to earth,
killing two men instantly, the third
dying in a hospital a few minutes
later.
Wings Become Entangled.
The dead are First Lieut.. Earl
NJ. Randell, Of Winchester, Mass,
who was flying a German plane OF
the Fokker type; Second Lieut..
Duncan w. Lewis. Of Memphis.
Tenn, and Private Joseph j..
Dhoogle. of Chicago. who were in
Voight plane, which Lieutenant
Lewis was plotting.
The collision OF the two planes
was the first accident of" this kind
in this section of the country.
Leaving Brown field. a short dis
tance from Quantico, about 2
o CLOCK, tne planes ClTCleu III lhe
air.
The accident occurred while the
two planes endeavored to get above
each other. In doing so they came
so close that the wings locked. Both
planes began to drop. Before reach
ing the ground, however, the planes
had separated.
The Fokker plane. with Lieuten-
ant Randell. fell on a railroad track
inside the Quantico reservation and
the Voight machine, with Lieuten-
ant Lewis and Private Dhoogle,
dropped on the roof Of a ware
house.

Funeral services for the three
aviators are being arranged today.
A committee headed by Capt.
Louis NJ. Bourne will investigate
the accident, it was announced to-
day by Maj. A. Geigler, comman-
dant of the flying field.
The three deaths yesterday
brought the toll at Quantico for
the past year up to five persons.

Consideration Of the Ball rent bill
by the House District Committee
will be delayed a week, Congress
man BENJAMIN K. Focht, chairman
Of the committee, said today. A
bill increasing salaries Of teachers
will be taken up tomorrow.
Before the rent bill passed the
Senate this committee promised
school officials to give them a hear
ing tomorrow" explained Focht to-
day. For this reason we will have
to postpone consideration of the
rent measure until Wednesday OF
next week"
Hope that the rent bill would pass
the House within two weeks of its
passage by the Senate vanished
today. Considerable opposition has
developed and 1t is expected fight
will be waged in the District COM
mittee against certain amendments.
The rent bill extends the provi-
sions of the Ball act for two years,
and has amendments which provide
two additional commissioners and
two inspectors and provides that
hotels must give thirty days notice
before increasing room rentals.
