NEW PROPOSALS
BY BOLSHEv|K|
APPEAR At HAGUE
Soviets Striving to Prevent Ter
mination of Conference
RECOGNITION OF DEBTS
Slav Delegates also Have Sug-
gestions Relative to Con-
fscated Property
RECOGNITION OF DEBTS

The Hague, July 10 (By the Asso'
ciated Press) New proposals In con
nect,on with the compensation for con-
fscated property and payment OF the
Russian debt were advanced by Rus
sian delegates at the meeting today
of the entire non Russian committees
on Russian affairs.
The Russians suggested arrange
ments by which Russia would under
take to negotiate directly with owners
for payment OF compensation for con
fiscated property and with bond hold
ers for the settlement OF the Russian
debt.
The Russians won the rubber yes
terday in the game being played al
The Hague. They had a good mana
and played 1t with dash and conVic'
ton; they drove their adversaries TO a
corner and forced capitulation to their
demand for a Joint plenary session. to
find, II possible, way OF saving the
conference and continuing the work
the aim Of which Is the reconstruction
of Russia and her re-entry into the
comfy Of nations.
The Bolsheyik victory was complete
except possibly on one point. the
non Russian delegates insisted that
when the Soviet delegation met them
the Russians should restrict theil
statement to absolutely new proposals
and clear-cut propositions justifyine
resumption of the negotiations.
One Of the Soviet delegates INFORM
ed the Associated press that the Rus
slams would meet the non-Russian del
egates and endeavor to submit some
thing new and tangible relative to com
pensation OF confscated property
which Russia was unable to restore tc
the former owners, but added, laugh
ingly:
Moratorium is popular word now
adays; we may ask for moratorium
In other words, for delay OF some
IS or 20 years for the payment of
pensation How can Russia do other
wise In her present economic condi
tion?"

Rubber Culture.

An interesting parallel has been
drawn between the different varieties
of rubber trees in the tropics and
those Of maple trees in this country.
Out of about 1000 varieties Of trees,
all of which produce more or less rub
Der sap, only forty or fifty have been
found whose product Is considered
commercially valuable. When a would
be cultlvator of rubber goes to a
tropical country and sets out plan
tation Of rubber tEAes, which the ma
tives know do not Belong to the right
variety, he causes amused comment,
such as would be excited by South
American who came to the United
States and bored holes In soft naples
with the expectation Of obtaining
sugar sap. Experience has shown
that excellent rubber trees transplant
ed from their native habitat to other
regions having apparently identical
soil and climate may flourish IN
growth, yet lose their producing pow
er. Rubber culture requires great ex'
pert knowledge. Philadelphia Ledger

SLAYERS OF WILSON
CONDEMNED TO DIE
Short Trial Results In Conviction OF
Men V9E1 Killed Field
Marshal,

London, July 10. (By the Associat'
ed Press) )-Reginald Dunn and Jos
er.h OSulliyan were found guilty yes
terday, after trial in the Old Bailey
OF the murder of the late Field Mar
shall Sir Henry Hughes Wilson, who
was shot down in front OF his home in
: Eaton Place recently.
Both the convicted men were sen
fenced to death.
Thus twenty-six days from the
date on which the noted Irish soldier
was murdered the men who fired the
fatal shots were convicted and the
tdeeatl penal ty imposed on them.
| This constitutes record in the dis
tpatch OF a criminal case even for
Eng and where murder trials usually
are completed more quickly than IN
most countries.
\ The attorney general case for the
prosecution required barely half an
hour to present, The prisoners had
admitted the killing OF the field mar
sha but the judge nevertheless or
dered the trial to continue.
Before opening the defense, Arte
nous Jones of counsel for the pris
oners, asked that Dunn be allowed
to make statement from the dock
The statement was handed to the
Judge who declared it to be a po
litical manifesto justifying the right
to kill, and that he therefore could
not allow it to be read. The court
said Dunn could give evidence if he
wished.
;, The defendants counsel thereupoI
asked the court for a short adjourn
ment for consultation, which wa!
granted. When the attorneys re
turned, Mr.. Jones announced that tn,
defendants took the view that OWNS
to the judges refusal to permi
,Dunn's statement to be read, they nj
longer wished to have legal repre-
sentation. Therefore, Mr.. Jone
stated that he had no alternative bu
to withdraw from the case.

FINES ON PROFITEERS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Department Of Justice May Take Steps
to Return s12t68,5.35 Al

Washington, July 19.-If the advice
of the department OF justice Is follow
ed. all the fines imposed on f.. prof
teers through the agency OF the Lever
law will be returned to the men and
firms convicted OF profiteering
Acting for Atty-Gen. Dau.. ierty,
Robert H. Lovett the assista.t at
torney-general in charge of aims
has recommended to the Senate com
mittee on claims that bill introduc
ed by Senator Elkins OF West Virgin
ia, Republican, returning the fines
be made into law.
Judge Lovett takes the ground that
'inasmuch as the United States su
lpreme court has declared section
iof the Lever law unconstitutional, il
will be impossible for the govern
iment to defend its right to hold the
fines imposed under the law. AS il
now stands, the profiteers who we're
fined are allowed to sue the govern
ment for the fines and the govern
ment must place itself in the atti
itude of defendant The total
amount of fines and costs imposed or
the protteers was $277,1S505, OF
which $121,SS5.S5 has been actually
collected.
The suggestions of returning the
fines came officially to the department

HISTORICAL LECTURE
BY DIR. RAVI-BOOTH
Pastor viii Tell Who Was "The Great
HebeI and Prophet of The
Nineteenth Century"

"The Great Rebel and Prophet of
the Nineteenth Century" is the sub
ject of the lecture by DR.. Vincent
Rayi-Booth to be delivered in the
auditorium OF the high school on
Thursday evening, July 20 at $50
o'clock
An Italian lawyer, under sentence
of death for his advocacy of democ-
racy and for his magnificent efforts
to deliver Italy from the tyranny Of
| Austria, living in the slums of LA
1don, was the man who sixty-fve years
ago conceived the League of Nations.
He believed that when every en-.
slaved nation in Europe, such as
Italy, Poland, Hungary, Bohemia, the
Balkan States, had finally Yon its
independence, and reconstructed its
national life on the basis of the
lFat1erhood of God and the Brother.
Ihood of Man, the league of nations,
sitting in Rome, twice mistress of
the earth-would bring peace to a
war weary world He believed that
lsooner or later the United States
would take her place in the parlia.
ment of man.
Woodrow Wilson admits that in
his efforts to establish the League of
Nations he was guided by the convic.
(tions of this Italian exile. Lloyd
George, in great meeting held in
London last week, declared that,
while the empire established by Bis
mark lies in the dust of defeat, the
dreams OF this outcast are taking
form and are bound to conquer in tNs
lend.
Who was this man? Test your
knowledge of history by answering
this question. And whether you can
answer 1t or not, be sure to attend
the lecture, since every penny paid
for ticket will be spent on the care
of the neglected graves in the Old
Bennington Cemetery-the graves
of the founders of this town.
