 The queer appearance of the expedi- ton aroused the suspicious of the ''Cheka' when it reached EnZeli. c Persian Sea. and the whole outfit was arrested and taken back to Baku for examination.

 It was headed by Simoyak Phak- adze, who conceived the brilliant idea of the masquerade and who still maintains that his plan was a good one. He is a son-in-Iaw of Rasputin. the once celebrated Russian monk who was murdered after having at tained ascendancy over the Russian court.

United States Gets German
 Business

| Washington March 2S-Germany' s recovery, by ability to ship more of her exportable surplus, will mean for the United States a greater proporaion- ate share of business than for any oth- CT of the big world Powers. according to Government officials.
 | Germany during the present year, | expected by leading Government ex- | perts here to become more stable fin- ancially and commercially. Germany s shipments to the United States last year amounted to $S0,000,0O0. Secre- ta1y Hoover's figures to-day showed. In dollars that was less than in 1920. But in the volume of goods trans ported it reflected greater export activity by German merchants. As soon as Germany can see more clearly above the reparations fog, complicated through the unwavering French attitude, a reopening of the fic is predicted by American ob- servers abroad.
 The United States sold to German buyers in 1921 $372,325.ooo worth of s30O,0o0,0O0 the amount Germany bought. But it is upon security that American firms, backed by bankers, consider reliable There is one fact that stands out in the German-Amer- ican trade relations-and 1t is the important point that American busf- ness has confidence in Germany's ability to pay and the confidence that she will pay, within a reasona- ble period, the trade debts now con- tracted.
 Americas cotton producers thus far have fored best of all in the re- vived German traffic. Of the total exports last year. Secretary Hoover said, cotton exports alone made up $100, 900, 900, or one third of the en- tire sum of exports of all kinds.
 Germany now is buying heavily fats, such as lard. The volume of these and other exports during 1922 will increase very materially.
 Germany has beeen entirely trans formed from a self-supporting coun- try to one absolutely dependent up- or. the United States and a few other nations for some of the prod ucts that she deems most essential to her welfare.
 This furnishes an explanation of the character of our exports to Ger many.
 The American export trade with Germany appears to have re-estab- lished' itself with Germany, with somewhat Nthe same commodities generally, as in the years before the war, but with higher values than obtained at that time. Germany's need for foodstuffs has not dimin- ished and will not decrease in large degree, American observers agree. This is due to the fact that Germany dustrial nation, and her needs will be principally for raw materials to supply mills and factories.
 When German financial stability is more assured American producers and manufa cturer3 will reap enor- nous financial returns in the larger demand for American wheat flour grains and meats

Says Money Is Not Measure
 of Success

Chicago, March 2S-Success is not to be reckoned wholly in dollars and cents, John J. Mitchell, veteran banker, declared in an interview re- cently..
 Broadly speaking, the measure of a mans success is the proportion in which he has been of value to the world and his fellow men and wom- en during his Lifetime" said Mitchell. who is regarded as highly-success- full man. He is chairman of the board of directors of the Illinois Trust & Savings Bank and the Merchants Loan-IllinoiS Trust group of banks.
 Mitchell said that success meas ured by the modern yardstick'' is generally accepted to mean the amount of money or material wealth tht a person accumulates during a lifetime. Most of the articles he had read treated the subject of success from that viewpoint, he stated.
 This is not remarkable in view of the times we live in," Mir Mitchell mere question of making money does not define success in the broadest sense.
 ..Success Means Achievement"
 Success to any man means the greatest achievement possible to him in the line of endeavor for which he is best fitted Now, some men are not fitted to make money and should they choose that path they probably would meet only a very moderate degree of success. if any"
 Mitchell said he would advise young men who might want advice on success to first study themselves and find out the line of work to which they are best fitted.
 Men succeed best in what they like most to do," the banker contin- ued- Education, of course, !s a big facter-in fact, one of the strongest foundations for success in1 fife.
 "Once the question of a young mans life worlS is decided he s4ou1d take up the work Itself and pursue 1t perservering1y from the beginning. Superficial effort in any direction is bound to meet with failure H at most mediocre success"
 Mitchell added that a man must be logical tand have himself in hand at all tirnes.'' Also, he. must have se1f-contro1. or he will not be able to control others And, above a1l he must not forget that to win success he must zWorkzand work hard

OF THIRTY PERCENT
Penna Cites Freight Rate Diff
ferences and Disadvantage
of Market as Reasons.

TERRE HAUTE. Ind. Jan. IA
Wage reductions Of 80 per cent for
the United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea at the expiration OF their con-
tract with the operators, March 81
or sooner, were demanded Saturday
by p. II. Penna, secretary of the
Indiana Bituminous Coal Operators
association in a statement Of the op-
orators OF the coal industry for the
last wear. Basing his demands for
lower costs OF production on the
fact that other coal nelds Of the
country have the advantage on the
markets Mr.. Penna contends that
labor generally must respect the
law Of supply and demand.
Differences in freight rates were
cited as additional reasons for the
local field cutting its production
costs. Mr.. Penna sh, we'd that the
rates from the central field into Chi
cago had increased 20 per cent.
while those from the lstern Ken
lucky and West Virginia. fields had
been increased only q per cent.
Hope was expressed that the Of
ficials of the miners would recognize
the emergency ana would sign new
contracts. but he predicted govern
mental interference in case the mat
ter cannot be settled by negotiation
between the employers and en-
plOyes.
In speaking OF the new contract
Mr.. Penna declared that II would
show a lack Of business ability for
the operators to enter into a two
year agreement with the miners
while labor costs generally are on
the decline and pointed TO past in
terpretations Of their contracts by
the miners which would allow them
to bear their shade Of adversely.
Union interference with the opera
ton Of the mines is another phase
which is to be contested by the own
ers.
