The successful operation Of the wire
less telephone across the English Chan
mel has made possible continuous COM
nunications between English shore sta
tions and hying craft in the Paris-Brus-
sells service. and is particularly helpful
in heavy fog.
An air traffic control tower at the
airdromc has been linked UP with an
extension from the wireless station and
so arranged that a wireless operator
can plug the air controller through on .
wireless telephone to any air express on
the wing. with the result that any ur-
gent orders or explanations OF conditions
at landing fields can be conveyed to
pilots.
The wireless tower at the airdrome
also has proved a great help to pilots
who are landing In rain or fog, for the
operator can communicate with mechan-
les in the field by means of a mega
phone as the airplancs are coming in.
The system has served further TO elimi-
nate danger from the Channel air ser

Now that news is arriving from all
parts of Russia through the intermc-
diary of the American Relief Associa-
tions agents and other famine workers,
all the capitals Of Europe. and especially
Paris. are daily receiving information
proving the tragedy OF the Bolshevist
regime. The little Russian church in the
rue paru has celebrated special masses
for the victims of the revolution and
those who have been slaughtered by the
Reds during the last four years. =
This week a colonel formerly Of the
Cars Horse Guards received word from
Moscow that his mother had been assas-
sinated IN a midnight attack by Lenine's
agents more than a year ago. 1mme-
diateiy he notified friends In the Rus
sian colony here by means of card.

Such notices invariably FIJI the little
Russian church to overflowing. the aged

ing the centuries old service while tho
congregation joins In the plaintivs
chants for the dead.
There Is hardly an important family
in the Russian colony here which has
not lost some relative as a result or the
Rolshevist plottings. Usually the In
formation Is received from Americans
who have been asked to investigate muir
ders in Russia or are the result of at
tempts to communicate with friends
outside of Russia in order to obtain
funds or food relief.
Lenine's censorship is so thorough
that scores OF well known anti-Reds are
allowed to reach the frontiers of Russia,
the Moscow authorities knowing they
will carry letters which are to be mailed
as soon as they reach Poland or Ru-
mania, but when they are about to step
across the border to safety they arc
arrested by Boishevist agents. who con-

For months the police had been dis

were unavailing until a concierge no

bulky valise.
The concierge promptly notified the

taken as justifying the expensive life
she was accustomed 10 live.
Her home in the Monceau quarter IS
filled with various collections estimated
to be worth millions OF francs. much OF

she did not know whence these presents

Interest In Frances repopulation prob

OF the most prominent French doctors.
