RUSSIA FILES MILD
REPLY TO BRITAIN
Note, Not Yet Published, Said to
Remove All Danger to
Relations.
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, June 11.-Soviet Russia's
reply to the latest British demands in
the dispute between the two nations
has been delivered to the British
forign office but has not yet been pre-
sented to Lord Curzon, the secretary
for foreign affairs. 1t is unof1cially
explained that the situation in Russia
is such that Leonid Krassin, who pre-
scented the note, might see fit later to
withdraw the note altogether. At the
same time it is known the reply is of
such a conciliatory and accommodate
ing nature that any danger of a rup-
ture of the existing trade relations
seems to be removed.
The reply has been in London several
days but was withheld by NJ. Krassin
because it was feared that it's publica-
tion at this time might have been
an adverse effect upon the soviet gov
ernment at home for internal political
reasons.

ther was driven in an auto from
Newark and that several men were
behind the attack. That a mistake
was made in the person attacked
was the belief of Clark, who said the
letter intimated that one of his sis
ters was the person who the as
sailant was after. Mrs. Theodore
Clark. when seen yesterday, said
that her son Ira Clark, had told her
of the mysterious letter and that
she was of the belief that its con-
tents were the truth.
Why the state police hold the al
legged letter when the crime was
committed in Middlesex county and
that the authorities of that county
were making every effort to run
down the person who made the at
tack on the lone woman.
Chief of Detectives Ferd David
when seen, said that the state troop
ers had not taken the matter up
with him and that he knew nothing
of the alleged letter. Clark had not
made any report to the county de-
tectives, either.
Mrs. Clark has fully recovered
from the attack and was under the
care of a doctor for some time after
suffering from shock and burns
about the body.

THEATRES
Strand Attractions

With all the thrills of a. rocket lit
rescue at sea "Rose o. the Sea-" Ami
ta Stewards latest starring picture
for First National, introduces itself
at the Strand theatre tomorrow. The
smile has foundation in actual fact
for the opening scene of the story
depicts a. rescue from watery periIs.
This scene has been reproduced
from actual life with all the sus~
pense, terror and emotional appeal
that forms an everyday part of the
lives of the coast guards OF New
England.
Signal rockets, distress messages,
pounding wages and unbridled seas.
Acoup1ed with life boats and the anxi-
ks crowds on the shore, all play
- -r&.eArt in the opening scene in
which the sole survivor from the
i'll fated craft is sleeping baby.
It is around this girl, "Rose O. the
Sea" and her later struggles in the
hurdy gurdy metropolis, that Miss
Stewart has found a story that fits
her admirably, adapted from the
well known novel of the same name
by Countess Barcynska. The brine Of
the New England coast is changed
to the sweet scented surroundings of
a floral emporium on Fifth Avenue,
where Rose encounters, not only the
elite of the thoroughfare and the
artificial dandies of Broadway, but
also adventures that would fill the
chapters of Jules Verne fantasy.

RECEIVE BIDS
County Board to Get Prices
on MenIo Park Tract and
School Bonds

NEW BRUNSWICK, March 2S.-
At o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the
board of freeholders will receive
bids for the purchase of the $4,000
Middlesex County Vocational school
bond issue authorized by the free
holders for the acquisition of site
on New Brunswick avenue at Perth
Amboy.
A half hour later the freeholders
will look for bids on the two hun
dred acre tract between Metuchen
and Menlo Park which was once ac-
quired by the county for a tubercu-
lar hospital but later condemned by
the Board of Health. They are more
than. anxious to dispose of that
property and the sale was widely
heralded in local and metropolitan
papers. No bids were received at
previous occasions although the
county fathers believe that the tract
of ground should be of great value
for a developing company. The
freeholders believe that the property
is centrally located and should at
tract home seekers.
An interesting session is expected
to follow the awarding of the bids.
There is a general belief that Sher-
iff Elmer E. Wyckoff will refuse to
discharge Harry Kahrs, a deputy of
the sheriff's Office in line with res
.olution which was adapted by the
freeholders at the last meeting. The
resolution demands of the sheriff to
discharge Kahrs and came about a
long secret conference over the
wrecking of the county car. Free
holder Walter Quackenbush was the
only one who refused to vote on the
action,

By the use of coldframes, cover

other means of protection, spinach
and kale may be carried through this

Beds on which tate fall, winter

are grown should be raised three e
six inches above the surrounding
surface so as to drain well. They
are best located to get the full bent

great protection against cold a

Highly. nitrogenous fertilizer:

of the plants begins.
The season for greens on the

of Aldermen

A resolution giving this city day
light saving from a. m. on the last
Sunday in April, (April 29) until 2
a. m. on the last Sunday in Septem-
Der (September 30), has already
been prepared and will be taken up

Board of Aldermen tomorrow night,
according to Aldermen-at-Large
Richard j. Calvin today.
The resolution concerning the
adoption of daylight saving in this

were waiting to see what New York
and Newark were going to do in the
matter of setting the clocks ahead.
1t is understood that New York City
has an ordinance, which was adopt
ed last year, fixing the daylight saw
ing period and which is effective un-
til repealed, and that an ordinance
for the saving of daylight, will be
introduced by the Newark City Com
