BANKER FAVORS
 RECOGNITION 0FRUSSlA

LONDON, Dec. 9.-"The first act of the new British Government in the sphere of foreign policy should be the recognition of the Soviet Govern ment," Sir Edward Mackay Edgar, fa- nous British banker and chairman of Sperling Brothers, gave this as his considered opinion in an interview with International News Service.
 "So far as I can see," said Sir Ed ward, Russia is the dominating prob lem confronting the new Government What are we to do with Russia? On the answer to that question hangs the peace of Europe and the security of the British position in India and throughout Asia. A......

Wilson would not recognize any Gov ernm60L III MeAlCO DtCduoC AO uioo'P proved of it's origin. The consequence was that Mexico widowed in blood shed and chaos when a helping hand would have set her on her feet again.
 Britain is making the same mis- take with Russia. She disapproves Of the Bolsheviks and therefore will have no truck with them. That is to say, she will sit with their delegates at international conferences and make trade agreements with them, but she will not recognize them.
 And this is bad policy, and British trade is beginning to find it anything but amusing. The Urquhart agree ment stands out as an example. The agreement was not ratified simply be- cause the Russian rulers cannot stand the way they are being treated by the British Foreign Office.
 'In my opinion, the new Government could not make a better start than by ending the futile and, to British trade, costly quarrel with Russia

 Estimates of the damage done place the figures close to $5,000. The dam age consisted of broken dishes, ruined provisions, smashed furniture and broken windows, through which the bear had thrown things apparently not to his liking

SUICIDE THREATS

London. April 27-London girls
now laugh heartily when their re-
jeeted suitors threaten to commit
suicide; for cold. hard, unro.
mantle statistics prove that 1t is
not the young Romeo who ends his
life in the Thames, but the we'll
worn business man who seeks es.
cape from his financial worries.
Five hundred persons commit.
ted suicide in London last year,
and, according to carefully COM
piled analysis Of the figures, only
eight were under twenty years OF
age. The suicide age does not be-
gin until forty is well in sight,
and 1t does not reach its climax
until forty-fiye. The statistics
show:
Under ten, none; ten to fifteen,
j; fifteen to twenty, z; twenty to
twenty-five, 10; twenty-five 10
thirty-five, 81; thirty-five to for
ty-five, 108; forty-five to fifty
five, 146; fifty-tlve to sixty-five,
81; over sixty-five, 76.
This proves that it is the after
noon and evening of life that are
most dangerous from the suicidal
point Of view-the time when am
bition unrealized begins to tell.
The rate Of suicides in London is
only about one In 1900, which,
in view Of the tremendous distress
which has befallen the city during
the last year, is regarded by the
authorities as being surprisingly
low.
