William Burt, resident bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal Church at Buff
falo, N. Y, will sail from New York

at the request Of the Methodist Con-
ference in Italy and will visit the Eu-
ropean work with Bishop Edgar Blake

York East conference. In 1886 to
1883 he was presiding elder i'm Milan

Careful as to Who is
Admitted to Russia
HE makers Of u. S.
Tires made this
announcement last
November

Moscow, March 30.-Soviet Rus
sia is ready to waive numerous tech
nicalities and make it extremely easy
for representatives of big American
firms to reach Moscow if they have
serious intentions and actual fnan-
cial backing, but it is more or less
"fed up" with American promoters.
George Chicherin, Commissar fol
Foreign Affairs, told The Associated
Press correspondent in an interview.
When the correspondent tod NJ.
Chicherin that many American bust
ness men desiring to reach Russia
lost much valuable time because Of
the red tape, the commissar said
Russia had to be careful whom she
let in but was not trying to thwart
those with legitimate business.
I'VE have had painful experiences
with persons representing themselves
as havinb big backing and in reality
having none," he added, $50 we have
to investigate the APPLICATION for al
mittance But if persons represent
ing really big concerns and having
serious intentions want to visit Rus
sia, it will not even be necessary for
them to apply in person to one of oul
legations or missions for wise. They
can save valuable time by conducting
these preliminares through their rep
resentatives abroad.
Prompt economic reconstruction
of Russia and the world is not pos
sible without American participa-
tion," he continued. "For example
there are great concessions awaiting
capital in Siberia, particularly along
the Obi and Irkutsk rivers. Timber
coal and iron ore are there and in
many places there is excellent soil
and good climate. Only American
capital could or would undertake
such a magnificent, worth while tasl;
as the development Of this country
1t is a task for American pioneer
spirit, opening up new country
when America itself has no mor>
great openings for pioneers"

Tragedy Recalled by
Death Of Princess

Geneva, April IA tragedy that
attracted the attention Of Europe
and America fifteen years ago has
been recalled with the death in am
asylum near Berne of Princess Ta-
tiana LcontiytT, Russian Nihilis,.
The Russian princess, who was known
on two hcmiSphercs for her revolu-
tionary activities, shot and killed un-
der dramatic circumstances Paris
millionaire named Charles Muller,
whom she had mistaken for NJ.
Dulnovo, then Russian Minister of
the Interior, who was alleged to have
sent thousands of Russian political
prisoners to death in Siberia.
M. Muller was iunching alone at
a hotel in Interlaken when Princess
Leontieff, who was only 20, approach
ed his table and fired several shots
Her innocent victim tell lifeless tC

"Thank God, I've rid Russia Of the
greatest murderer on earth The
Princess was unaware that the real

Scheme to Promote
Friendly Correspondence

Leeds, Eng, April 22.-Hearty ap-
proval of a scheme to promote friend
ly correspondence between school
children of Leeds and those of vari-
Gus American cities has been given
by Premier Lloyd George in letter
to James Watson, head-master of
Harchills Council School here, who
has instituted the idea as means of
stimulating interest in composition,
geography, writing and spelling.
Under Mr.. Watson's plan, each
child has one particular correspond
ent, whom he or she addresses by
name. The letters written in school
under supervision, are the unaideG
work of the scholars. They form
part of the ordinary composition les
son, but have proved to be its most
attractive feature. incidentally, the
letters received often convey valu-
able hints to teachers in regard to
methods used in America, which are
frequently made the subject of in
Quiries by the Leeds education au-
thorities.
A recent mail brought 12O letters
from pupils at four schools in Wash
ington, which in the opinion of edu-
cationists here are remarkable for
their excellent composition, good
handwriting and correct spelling.
The ages of the young American cor
respondents average 13 and their let
ters range from 500 to 1000 words
in length. They are full of the
Washington conference but personal
touches and descriptions of the
schools and their surroundings ar,
not lacking.
Occasionally the English children
are puzzled by Americanisms. A RE-
erence to "Buddie" as the name Of
the Unknown Soldier proved difficult
even for the masters, but my teacher
is a first class soccer ball fan" was
more easily interpreted
Dear Unseen Friend" one letter
begins, 81 choose Leeds because
liked it from what I have studied
about it, so please tell me something
about your city"
Many letters express hope for an
everlasting peace between the two
countries and most of the young Am
orleans sign as "Your American
Friend"

'lans to Reduce
Top-Heavy Civil Service

Vienna, April 2l. solution of Aus
tria's gravest economic problem IS be-
Ecvcd to be al hand with he an
rounccment of plans to reduce the
top heavy civil service class consti-
tuting nearly one-iifth OF the nations
population when relatives and de-
pendcntS OF government employees are
included.
The civil servant occupies almost
an imprcgnable position in the Aus
trian Republic because he cannot be
dismissed without his consent. The
new plan recognizes this principle but
provides for the elimination Of en-
tire government departments, which
is legal under existing laws.
Men who have served fewer than
three years and those who have serv-
ed 3 years will be dismissed immedi-
ately. The former will receive a bo-
nus of one and one-half months pay
for each year of service, while those
who have served 81 years will re-
ccive the same bonus plus 10 per
cent of the total amount.

"If was the czar of North Caro-

issue an edct declaring that from ard
after five years from date any man
who imported into North Carolina any
corn or meal. wheat or flour, beef or
bacon, should he forthwith hanged and

Slow About Fitting
Out Their Boats

Toledo, O., April 22.-Ship owners
are going slowly about fitting out
their boats here this spring, say off
cials of the Great Lakes Towing COM
pany. Few of the 404 freighters that
were laid up here for the winter have
been put in shape for the opening of
the navigation season.
The delay in refitting these ves-
sells is ascribed to the uncertainty
as to whether they will be greatly in
demand as carriers, due to indus
trial conditions and the coal situa-
tion in particular. The crowded con-
dition of the docks along the river
will not allow the addition OF more
than few loaded boats. At pres.
ent there are 16 loaded vessels
moored at the four docks available,
leaving little room for C.hers to tie
up.

analysis. the human feeling is the pre-
dominant element. Learning is an alb
solutc essential. A composer may not
want TO write fugues: IL he is wise
to the spirit of his times. he will not
write them. But the discipline. in must
cal .thought. which sound command
of the technical resources of the science
lthe word Is used advisedly) of musical
composition involves, is essential to
good work.
The musical genius. whoever he may
have been. who said Rules are made
to be broken expressed only a half
truth. the most dangerous of all die
tums. The greatest trouble with the
composers of today is that they do not
show any evidence that they know the
rules which they break with such utter
abandon.
There is no conccaling of this: when
rule of composition or of form is
broken Intentionally it is apparent as in
the last quartets Of Beethoven. When
IL is broken through ignorance of its cx-
istenCc, 1t is equally apparent. But the
result of the first is piquant or fascinat- q
! ing, according to the manner in which
! 1t Is done, or the sentiment which is
expressed: The result of the second is
usually deplorable. for it reveals. not
the limitations of the accepted forms
binding the genius of the composer. but
indicates a desire to compose without
| proper preparation. Very much the
same as though a writer of prose or
poerty began to indite his thoughts
without n knowledge of the laws oil
grammar.
| This is not an cxaggcration. Many OF
the ultra modern compositions show the
same ignorance of the rules Of har-
mony, to say nothing of counterpoint
which a writer would show if he began

point where It can express itself in
