The Russian winter is as severe as
that of the northernmost United
States and Canada, and this has
made the problem doubly pressing,
for the Russian markets have little
clothing available, and the supply
that is for sale is held at prices far
above the reach of the average
workingman. Overcoats cost more
than a years salary. Some of the
organizations allied with the Amer
lean Relief Administration have
sent clothing for distribution in
Russia, but these contributions, big
as they are, have been "only a drop
in the bucket.
To overcome these conditions, the
American Relief Administration has
initiated Clothing Remittance
system operating in every way like
the now famous Hoover Food Re-
mittance. The Clothing Remittance
costs $40. and each clothing pack

Taylor hesitated. Finally ne said:
II want your word of honor that
you will never divulge what ! am
going to tell you as long az I live.
DO you promise?"
l promised, and then and there he
told me OF the dark chapter in his
past which has doubtless cost him
his life. l am relating 1t as he told
1t to me.
William Taylor came from a fine,
old Irish family. AS young man
he was engaged to a beautiful young
girl of one Of the most aristOcratic
families.
Her Sister Gambled.
The prospective sister-in-law of
Taylor was married to a man much
older than herself. She was fond of
gambling and often lost heavily at
cards. There was among the society
set, of, which she was a member,
what Taylor termed n parasite. To
this man she had become heavily in
debted and she had given him checks
to discharge her gambling obliga-
tons.
Taking advantage of her inability
to meet these obligations, the man
forced his attentions upon her and
eventually attempted to induce her
to run away with him. One day
their conversation on this subject
was overheard by Taylor. He went
TO the girl and asked her how murh
money she owed. When she ir.
formed him, he offered her his Ia ST
penny. The money he possessed at
this time, however, was far from suf.
ficient to cover her Indebtedness.
In desperation, the young woman
conceived the plan Of robbing tho
safe in her own home of her hus.
hands money and valuables, and
thus getting enough to pay her debts.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1922-02-17

the woman asked his wife to explain
her presence in the room. She told
q story OF having heard a noise In
the library ard 81 taking the revolver
and rushing down the stairs TO In
vcstigate. She said she had found
Taylor there before the open safe ,

hands.

Was Sands the Man?
Whether Sands knew the secret
OF Taylor's past or whether he was
the man the director feared re
mains to be determined.
OF one thing I am certain. Taylor
was not killed because of any love
affair. He could never have been
seriously in love with any woman
except his wife, because the only
great love of his life was buried
with his past.
My theory is that he had decided
to stop paying the blackmailer who
had haunted his life. taking his
heavy toll, and that his refusal &c
pay more money to this leech re
suited in the firing of the shot that
killed him.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. 17.-Un-
less the United States has a strong

the American navy will not be as eff

"A strong merchant marine Is es
sential TO an effective navy" said
Ransdell, who is president of the Ma
tional Merchant Marine Association.
THE world disarmament conference
gave us capital ships at the ratio OF
five to five with Great Britain and
five TO three with Japan. This ratio
recognizes our parity in naval
strength with Great Britain, but IN
less we are to have strong and
well. balanced merchant marine our
navy will not be anything like as eff
fective as that OF Great Britain"
"A cursory analysis OF trade re
turns shows that American ship

dell said. We We're carrying so
per cent of our trade in our own
ships two years ago. Since then
the volume Of ship tonnage under
the American flag has grown stead
ly and the proportion of cargo ton
mage, or commerce, moving IN our
own vessels has declined almost rs
steadily.
In fact, we have now reached a
point where British ships are carry.
ing more of our trade than we are
1t is manifest that we are letting
our ocean-carrying trade slip away

the money from her and explained
the meaning of the terrible thing
