As part of the American Jcwieh
program of reconstruction il tie
Ukraine this year, DR.. Rosen has Sc
lected the best species of American
corn and introduced them for seed
there. Over 5000 bushels of pure bred
seed corn from Iowa, Nebraska, the
Dakotas, Kansas, and Minnesota have
been planted in So localities and next
year will serve as seed for millions of
acres of Ukrainian soil.
About 100000 acres will be worked
this fall by American tractors sent over
by the American Jewish Joint Dist
ribution Committee under the direction
of American farm experts. The Rus
sian government hopes during the next
FIVE years to import and build at least
50,00T tractors. 1t is believed that
DR.. Rosen has made contribution not
only to emergency aid but also to the
permanent reconstruction of Russian
agriculture. .

ALI. MAR
TO Be TRAINED
IN SAN DE EG @

san DIEGO, july 26.-Conccn-
tratiOn of all marine corps training
activities in the department of the
Pacific at the Fifth marine brigade
post on Barnett avenue, and the
gradual abandonment of tho Mare
Island marine barracks, was an
mounced here by Brig. Gen. Joseph
H. Pcndleton.
Approximately 1000 recruits here
after will be added to the enlisted
personnel Of the Fifth marine bri-
gade and the marine barracks,
bringing the total enlisted strength
up to 1900, the present capacity Of
the post.
I'VE are expecting orders any
day from Cen. Leiuenc creating Il
recruit depot at San Diego and in
structing us to begin the transfer
Of men from Mare Island and San
Francisco, said Gen. Pcndleton.
"PlanS already have been approved
at Washington for concentrating all
recruit training at San Diego and
orders to begin moving the men
here are expected Mt any time
According TO Gen. Pendleton,
marine coIps recruits will be sent
TO San Diego for training from all
all the states embraced in the de-
n9rtmcut of {hn Pacific These
states include Colorado, Wyoming,
Utah, Montana, Washington, Idaho,
Oregon, Arizona and California.
After receiving military training
here, the men viii be sent to vali-
Gus ships and shore stations. The
"tumorcr,' according to officers
at the brigade post, will be about
1900 men every five months.
Gen. Pcndjeton said that al
though nearly half a million dol
lars is available fer the construc-
tion Of additional barracks at the
marine base no bids will be called
for at this time, due to the cXces-
siNe cost OF building material. The
government recently turned down
all bids for the barracks here, as
the amounts were far above the sum
allotted for this purpose. Six
months will elapse, Gen. Pendleton
believes, before new bids for the
barracks will be called Cor by the
bureau of yards and docks, navy

n NDIAN corn, the maise upon which

n INDIAN corn, the maise upon which
! the early settlers in New England
subsisted in the carly days of our
country, is playing a large part in the
reclamation of Russia. Several million
acres of Russian soil will probably bear
crops next year produced out of Amer
ican pure seed corn from the Middle
Western States, and cultivated by
American tractors.
DR.. Joseph A. Rosen, the well-known
American agriculturist already famous
for his "Rosen rye" went to Russia two
years ago to represent the American
Jewish Joint Distribution Committee
with the American Relief Administra-
tion. One of the best means found for
fighting famine in the Volga region
was his plan whereby 100000 acres
were planted with American corn
which, besides needing less seed, can
better endure the rainless months of
this dry region than the customary
crops of wheat and other small grains.

Says Gov. Coolidge
and State Bank Head
Knew of COSMOPOLITAN

Boston. Oct. 30-The name of CAL
vim Coolidge as governor of Massa-
chusetts was invoked today by Fred
j. Burrell. former state treasurer. as
part of his authority for keeping
100000 of states funds in the Cos
mopolitan Trust Company when he
knew il to be financially weak.
The incident occurred during the
trial of a suit brought against Bur
rill by Bank Commissioner Joseph
c. Allen. seeking TO recover S76,324
which the plaintiff claims Burrell
owed the trust company when 1t was
taken over hy the commissioner in
September, 1920.
Finding that The trust company
was i'll difficulties. Mr.. Burrell said.
he went to Governor Coolidge and
Bank Commissioner Allen in the
summer of 1920 and told them that
the state might lose heavily if it
maintained its large deposits in the
Cosmopolitan. The governor and
MIR. Allen. the defendant stated. di-
rected him to keep the funds there
and make additional deposits, which
he did.
Under examination by counsel for
the trust company, Burrell repeated
him denial that a note for $4,000 was
discounted for him by the company.

Determined to Initiate
Probe, Accepts Restrictions
Laid Down by Poincare-
Proposed Conference May Be
Held in Neutrality-suspicious.
Desire for Participation AM
erican Government

London, Oct. 30-(By A. P.)-Eu-
rope Is, to make another effort to I'M
ravel the everlasting reparation tam
gle. The British government today
decided to accept the French pre-
mier's reservations and the British
charge d'affaires at Washington was
instructed by cable tonight to inform
Secretary Hughes of the decision Of
the powers to enter a conference Of
experts such as Mr.. Hughes suggest
ed in his reply to Foreign Secretary
Curzon's plea for American partici-
patton
If all goes we'll this commission of
inquiry will be started before the
overseas premiers leave London,
and it is hoped that in spite of
Frances severe restrictions it may
lead to a larger plenary conference
on the whole European situation at
Washington or elsewhere, in which
the powerful neutral nations like the
United States may make their voices
heard
SlE JOHN bEduUuIS, lle DtitlSii
reparation delegate whose opinion on
Frances terms for the experts con-
ference was sought, informed the
British government today that while
some of the conditions would sharp
ly limit the scope of the conference.
he felt that Great Britain could not
take the responsibility of uttering a
peremptory mo- to France and risk
the loss of Americas participation.
There is a strong desire among
among British government officials
that the experts committee should
have an American chairman, whose
neutrality and disinterestedness they
feel would insure greater measure
of impartiality and justice in the
commissions decisions. They would
welcome as the American member it
is said, a financier of such interna-
lawyer of such repute and foreign
experience as Roland W. Boyden or
Paul Cravath.
Japan will be invited to join the
discussions of the expert committee.
The British believe that Japan'S
detachment from the immediate af-
fairs of Europe will enable the Jap
anese members also to take an OBJ
iective, unbiased view of the repara =
ton problems and, with the Ameri-
can delegate. exercise a modera ting
or even mediating influence upon the
discussions of his more interested
colleagues.
1t is understood that General ]. c..
SHUTS, premier of South Africa. and
some of the other more progressive
delegates to the imperial conference
were opposed to acceptance OF the
French restrictions. favoring larger.
full dress conference even without
France. but the opinion of the more
moderate and calmer counsels within
the cabinet prevailed. and it was de-
cided to make start at least with
the smaller conference.

Ben Pine and his crew of fishing
shippers who man the American
schooner Columbia. challenger for the
international fishermen's trophy, ex-
pressed confidence tonight that their

to Pine. than the Columbia that lost
to the Canadian vessel Monday.
Captain Pine claimed to have found
reason for his confidence in the per-
formance of the Columbia TODAY on
a trial spin under her improved trim
ming. She pointed higher in wind
ward work, was quicker in stays, and
generally showed more championship
class, the skipper said. There was
little Windward work in MONDAYS

lost the race when Captain Angus

necessary to make the third mark.
There was hardly enough windward
work IN the first race to allow judge

give more. and it appeared definite
tonight that the course tomorrow

ers dead beat to windward over one
