summit of Mount Blanc, has constructed
a radio apparatus capable OF resisting
the temperatures of high attitudes which

Undertaking Parlors of j. B. Powell,
107 w. 136th St.<New York City, was
the scene of one of the. saddest funeral
services ever witnessed here.
Mrs. G"stav Erickson (born Gertrude
Chah c~hristiansted, st. Croix.
died, after a short illness, on Tuesday
18th March at her residence, q West
136th St., and was buried on the date
above mentioned.
Mrs. Erickson had been ailing for
some time. bot it was only a few days
ago that her complaints were taken serl-
Ously.
She was the product of Virgin Island
ers who truly represent what is known
as a kind loving and faithful wife and
mother.
She was =. young woman, yet to her.
the duty of caring for her children. was
far above the inducements which turn
the minos of others.
She lived a noble life, the mother Of
eight children, the youngest of which
is only three months old.
There was not a dry eye in the rooms
as the lit ) tots filed around the casket
to take leave of their mother.
Her husband Gustav bore up we'll,
though at one time it was thought he
would break down when his two old
schoolmates Mr.. Max Danielson and Mr..
Ashly l.. Totten approached to offer sym
pathy.
The funeral service was well attended.
A large number of Virgin Islanders
and Americans were present.
Her two sisters Beatrice and Winni-
fred, all her brothers and their wives,
ard large number Of relatives were also
present draped in deep mourning.
TIE Reverend DR.. HUtchins Bishop of
St. Phillips Protestant Episcopal Church
conducted the ceremonies. Com.

tor extends heartfelt sympathy to the
bererved family. Ed. ST. CROIx AVIS.

Warsaw, April 4th.-The Polish Gov
eminent has decided to open up for prl-
vate development the oil fields in South
Poland which are the property of the
State. Before the war the production.
exceeded one million tons.
Athens, April 4th.-Further details
regarding the bill authorizing the Govt.
to raise a forced loan, state that all per
sons possessing paper currency must
lend fifty per cent to the state, immedi-
ately the bill becomes law. A Parlia-
mentary Committee has been appointed
10 examine the Bill. 1t further provides
an ingenious device to realize the loan
Immediately, and automatically, whereby
all banknotes in circulation would be cut
into halves. one half remaining in clrcula-
ton, representing one half Of the notes
value, while the other half would be con-
verted into a bond of the compulsory loan
bearing seven per cent interest. The Ma
tiOnal Bank would be obliged to lend the
state Immediately one half of the amount
obtained by the division of the bank
notes.
London, April 9th In connection with
the recent sensational train robbery in
France it is stated that if the robbers
were after British foreign Office doca-
ments relating to the Genoa Conference,
according to the theory advanced by the
French police. they overlooked the fact
that important papers are never sent in
mail bags, but always by a courier from
the Foreign Office. Little Importance is
therefore attached to the incident.

Times announces the death of Mr.. Fred

sentatives here who have been informed

the reply are as follows. Anatolia, in
Guiding Smyrna, must be evacuated with
in four months. The armistice may be
renewed for an additional three months,
if the peace negotiations are not termi-
mated. The Greeks to evacuate the Eski-
shehr- Alum Karah Issar-Kumal lile
within a fortnight, the evacuation of the
rest of Anatolia to proceed under the
supervision of Allied officers. In the
event of the reply being accepted. the
Kemalist delegates are ready TO meet
those of the Allies and Greece in three
weeks time, to discrss the question of
peace.

A program for the Easter Races is now
out and this popular pastime is evokIng
the usual interest. The horses are all IN
fine condition it is reported anda success
fol day is looked for. At this time a sug-
qestion to the management to give con-
sideration to enhancing the seating ac-
~comodation of the Grand Stand is not out
of place. At the last races on July q, ~
the majority of spectators arrived in
rented cars which were net available
as seats Oh the gre ind the patronage
of the Grand Stand was far beyond
what it is accustomed to be and there
was scarcely standing room not to speak
of its being quite impracticable to get
oat or around after having once squeezed
in. The enjoyment for all at the forth
coming races will be materially advanced
by appropriate attention to this matter.
