COAST UNFROzEN
IN ARCTIC REGION

The Questioning recently OF British
nshermen's right to fish along the
Murman coast almost led to q clash
between Russians and British IN those
far north waters. and the British de-
cided to send a war vessel to the re-
gion for future protection. some
thing Of this land on the fourth sea
which Russia touches is tod In the
following bulletin from the "asn-
ineton headquarters Of ;ie National
Geographic Society.
when it is realized that the Mu:-
man coast is on the Arctic ocean, one
naturally pictures a frozen waste,
with even a solid sea in winter" says
the bulletin. But the long arm OF
the gulf stream stretched across the
Atlantic, around the northern tip OF
Europe and along the coast just he
yond. makes the Arctic waters winch
bathe the northern end or norway
I and the nearby strip OF tsussia mere
truly Atlantic waters. This Is an
open coast the year round. while Arc
tic waters to the east and the Bulfs
of the Baltic far to the south are
frozen solidIy for many months.
Another Three-Mile Linsit.
| Foreign fishermen have been ma&-
| ing the most OF this region OF icsless
waters, where. in the proper season.
schools Of cod. herring and salmon
are those OF British and NorWeHians
who have maintained that they have
the right to carry on their trade out
side the three-mile limit. This ths
Russians dispute and have arrested
boats nine miles off shore.
"The Russian fishermen OF the Mur-
man coast are a nomadic lot VINO live
along the coast in the spring and sum-
mer and desert the country in winter.
Labor Army Built Road.
THE Murman coast was practically
unknown to the outside world until the
blockade of the Baltic ard Black seas
during the world war made necessary
dependence on the unused possible door
way in the north. An army OF 100000
laborers was set to work pushing rail-
Murrnanx. where in an inlet thirty
miles from the open sea, in wide, deep
harbor free from both currents and Ice,
the largest ocean freighters could dock.
In spite Of the greatest engineering
BY summer and Ice by winter, the line
vas completed, but only a little willis
before the Russian revolution came TO
make it useless.
Several thousand American dough
boys were sent TO the Murrnan coast
with British. French and Italian con-
tingents, to hold the railroads Of the
region. and spent long months in the
cheerless region. When the war
time population left the country slip
ped back. and now, except for the
railroad villages. is almost as sparse
ly settled as before. A few Lapps live
scattered over the Kola peninsula
whose northern edge forms the Muir
man coast. living largely on their
reindeer. AS in many arctic regions,
mosquitoes are a serious pest along
the Mlrman coast in summer. and
even the reindeer fee to the interior
Highlands to get away from them"

The Civil Service Commission has
long been a bone of contention in
American politics. Principally be-
cause of the prohibition against po-
litical activity by classified civil m
ployes. The Commission reports
that there was a slight increase in
the number of cases of alleged pro-
hibited political activities over last
year, which, the commission says, is
explained largely by the fact that
many of the alleged violations oc-
Cured in connection with the Pres
idential election of 1920, while the
charges were delayed. The Con-
gressional elections of 1922 also con-
tributed a share. The commission
pointed out that some cases of the
most objectional activity were oc-
casioned by purely local issues. By
far the greater number of employees
against whom charges were made,
were against fourth class postmas-
tiers and rural carriers.
