BERLIN, January 5.-Even in soviet
Russia the mighty are ruled by their
doctors and--wives. 1t was on the
orders from his doctor that Premier
Lenin failed TO appear at the open
ing of the communist congress, his
absence creating great excitement
and giving hise to the report that he
was again dangerously i'll. And when
Lenlh tries to exceed the three hours
allowed him by his medical advisers
Tor work each day, his wife promptly
takes him out OF the office and brings
him home.
These facts concerning Lenin's pri-
yate life were given to the writer to-
day by Prof. r.. Forester. the famous
German surgeon, upon his return to
Berlin from Moscow, where he looked
after the soviet leader for many
weeks.
Heart Improved, Is Report.
'1.enin's heart has improved salts
factorily in the last month" Or.
Forester said, but ] and the other
medical men who have been consulted
have prohibited him strictly FROM at
tending any big public meetings. such
as the recent congress WAS. because
ne IS Still nervous and e&citablc. He
Is chatting under the strain. He
wants TO run everything himself and
If his wife did not come around to
his office to get him home every day
he would be q complete wreck soon
and his condition hopeless
Just now he is greatly worked up
over the fact that there is as much
graft among the soviet officials as
there was among the czarist employees
in the old days. Whenever he attends
a meeting of the executive council.
all the comn1issars silently throw
away their cigarettes and cigars and
put out their pipes, because smoke
has a bad effect on Lenin's heart"
DIR. Forester was accompanied TO
this city by Serge Malychev. head of
the Nizhni-Novgorod fair, who Is on
his way to France, where he will in
yite Marcel Herriot. mayor of Lyon.
and others to attend and exhibit at
the next exhibition.
'Lenin has undergone a tremendous
change in the last two years" said
NJ Malychev, who is a close personal
friend of the communist chief. He
used TO be one of our gaycst public
men, laughing and making jokes all
the time. Now he is solemn and
moody and gets excited over moth
ing"
Dr. Forester says that if Lenin will
take care of himself and obey the or
ders of the doctors he will be all right
again in a few months.

FRANCE REJECTS
PLAN TO SEIZE GOLD
Note Turns Down Proposal
of Britain to Take Over
ESQ, 1000, 900.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. January 5.-The French
government yesterday issued note
respecting the deposit OF $4,000, 900
in gold advanced TO Great Britain by
France during the war. and the reten-
tion of which by the British was pro
posed by Prime Minister Bonar Law
in settlement of the French war debt.
This proposal was rejected by France
at the council OF premlers. which end
ed yesterday. The French statement
follows:
IAN accord signed at Calais on Au-
gust rs, 1915. between NM. BRAND
and Ribot (French premier and
finance minister) and Messrs. Asquith
and chancellor of the exchequer)
placed credits in sterling at the dis
position of France for total of
f16o.000,oo0. Article reads:
To Be Repaid s Years After War.
The French government, in ex-
change for the advance of the f150,-
100000 stipulated in article ]. en-
cages itself to request the Bank of
France to place at the disposition Of
the British treasury the sum of ESQ.,
repaid by the British government
three years after the termination Of
the war, at the same time as will be
repaid the advance provided for in
article L.
The placing of this sum under the
above conditions at the disposition of
the British government did not re-
lieve IL from the obligation of repay
ing in gold. The English government
on several occasions has manifested
desire to relieve itself Of this obl-
cation. 1t asked NJ. Ribot on March
13. 1917. to accept in another agree
ment that the gold in question could
be placed in credit against the French
debt to Great Britain on account of
tho French government bonds dis
counted in virtue of these accords. NJ
Ribot refused.
LOucheur Proposal Rejected.
when NJ. Loucheur visited Lon
don in 1919 it was desired TO insert
in the draft of an agreement that the
French government would not ask
for repayment of the gold detained in
execution of the Calais accord until
the moment in which was paid the
total of the French debt owing to the
English government. NJ. Loucheur
reserved his adhesion. and upon his
return to Paris the French govern
ment refused to accept the article in
question.
THE accord of 1915 drawn up at
Calais) remains, therefore, the only
one governing the legal status OF the
ury and, conforming TO these stipula-
tionS this sum of gold continues to
figure in the balance of the Bank of
France"

By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK. January 5.-Detectives
today turned on to the trail of a wom-
an, whom they seek as an accomplfce
OF three men charged by Mrs G. p.
Hugo Schoellkopf of Buffalo with
having robbed her of jewels valued at
between s15O.oOo and 100000. after a
New Year party in the suite of Frank
Barrett Carman. in West 52d street
rhe woman was described as the
wife of one of the trio who subiet
from Carman the apartment in which
Mrs. Schoellkopf said she was robbed.
She disappeared from the house a few
days before New Year eve, and is be-
lieved TO be in hiding here or in
nearby city, after having prepared an
abiding place for the fugitiyes.
Curman stil Held.
Carman was still held in custody
after two magistrates had refused
TO admit him to bail in spite of pleas
ot his counsel and report that Mrs.
Schocllkopf believed him innocent
of completely in the robbery. In AN
effort to check Carman'S record
authorities brought before him
theatrical press agent who indeni-
fed the actor by d gear on his head.
which he said Carman sustained in a
barroom fight in the west years ago.
Just what bearing this identifl-
cation had upon the present case the
detectives declined TO say. but they
declared that Carman later admitted
he recalled the incident and then
talked freely Of his fondncss for
jewels. saying that casualty COM
panieS had refused TO insure his
personal collection after he had
forced a so per cent settlement for
losses sustained when he was robbed
OF some of his gems six months ago.
Given Rings ms Gift.
The prisoner also declared. dctec-
t.ves said. that Mrs. Schoelltepf had
given him a diamond ring worth $4,000
and al emerald ring valued at $4,000
when he was in Venice a year ago
with her and her husband.
Further details of Mrs Schoellkopf's
collection of jewels indicated that
when robbed she was wearing only
part OF the $1,000. 900 worth she own
ed. Among the gems in her Buffalo
safe deposit vault were said to be
four huge emeralds, once among the
Russian crown jewels.
Detectives secuted the theory that
emisSaries of the bolsheviki robbed
her in an effort to recover these emer-
aids.

ON BUSINESS BASIS

General approval around the New
lands project appears to have fol
lowed the recent dismissal of Direc-
tor Davis. He goes because bust
ness man is needed at the head OF
the service, says Secretary Work.
This project was built to develop
thousands of acres of land that
have not come under actual recla-
nation. The government has been
negligent in its final development.
Each month hundreds of the most
efficient dairymen in the world,
from Scandinavia, Denmark, Hol-
land, arrive from overseas with
money with which to buy land. No
effort whatever has been made to
direct them to the Newlands prof.
ect. Governmental machinery has
been too cumbersome.
With practically no expense this
project could have been fully set
tied years ago. Instead few farm
ers are holding the sack. They have
been bearing all the burden of an
immense engineering accomplish
ment
In urging clean sweep of recla-
nation executives some DIRECTORS
to the former regime are demanding
all business men and farmers. 1t is
a tendency to the other extreme.
Many water users here declare
that F. E. Weymouth, chief engi-
neer, stands head and shoulders
above other members of the staff.
As reclamation engineer he APP
pears to hold an excellent record.
He has been working under handi-
cap.
Without doubt Secretary Work
will retain those engineers whose
technical ability is unquestioned.
The incompetent extras may go. But
it is not to be expected that the
secretary will demoralize the recla-
nation service by making a clean
sweep of all executives and engi-
neers. Such a muddle is not antici-
pated. And business methods will
undoubtedly apply to develop by
settlement what has been left un-
done.-Churchill County Eagle.
