Washington, Aug. 2S.-Communism
in Russia is dead and Russia is on the
road to recovery, Col. VIM. nm. Has
kell, who was in charge of American
relief administration activities there.
declared in final report today to
Herbert Hoover, secretary of COM

Il helped to stimulate Russian recov-

spread a lasting inheritance for
America in good will of the slav
races.
Colonel Haskell's report summarize
ed the two years work of the relief
administration and praised the Amer
lean and Russian agents for the duty
they performed and Secretary Hoov-
er's conception and administration of
the relief program.
During this period" said the re-
port, "a little under million tons of
food, clothing and medical supplies
have been bought in the United
States by the American Relief Ad-
ministration. requiring about ESQ voy-
ages of American ships. These sup
plies amounted to 10000 carloads on
the Russian railways. Their distri-
button was accomplished through the
organiza ton of $4,000 different sta
tions at the worst period when we
were feeding nearly 100000 men.
women and children daily. Not only
would those millions have died with
hi inf hut 10
bers would have persisted from the
cesspool of contagious disease which
was then raging in every direction.
I'm the battle against these cpl
denies. the American Relief admins
tration furnished supplies to over To-
900 hospitals and institions and OF
ganized the incubation and vaccina-
ton of over 100000 individuals. Its
systematic campaign of sanitation
stamped out the most dangerous CEN
ter of contagion in the entire world.
From seed imported. about 5000
900 acres of land We're sown. The
worst of the famine was over year
| ago but since that time the American
Relief administration has continued
to feed, clothe and give medical SER
vice to an average of 100000 dere-
lict children until they were past dan
ger and to provide FOOD and clOthlns
for over 100000 teachers and profess
sional people as a supplementary ser
vice"
America, Colonel Haskell added
furnished more than 80 per cent OF all
the relief furnished during the last
two years. In the expenditure OF
100000, 900 of American funds, OF
which s24,O0Oo0O was voted by con-
gress. he said there had been no cost
to the American distributor or tax
payer for administrative purposes.
The task in Russia, the report said
was more satisfactory because sue

lies and misrepresentation" in the
American radical press regarding
Secretary Hoover's objects. Despite
this, it was added. the full confidence
of the Soviet government was Sc

Legion in Sympathy
with France in Ruhr
Stand for ReparatiOns

Paris, Aug. 2S.-The official recep-
ton for the entire American Legion
delegation by Marcel Peraud,
wounded veteran of Verdun, who is
vice president of the city council.
supplied an occasion for the most
outspoken remarks made by Colonel
Alvin M. Owsley since he. the ma
tional commander of the Legion,
came to France with a delegation
of Legionnaires to attend the con-
ference of the inter- Allied veterans
at Brussels next month.
A short time before Col Owsley
made his brief response to NJ. Peraud
he was notified that he had been
appointed a commander of the Legion
of Honor and that the decoration
officially will be conferred upon him
by General Degoutte. the French
commander of occupied Germany, at
Dusseldorf on Thursday in military
fashion.
THE American Legion, whose ma
tional commander l have the honor
to be, and for whom it is my desti-
nation to speak, representing four
million or more of soldiers" said
the Legion chief in reply to the well
comet from NJ. Peraud, "is the one
great standing American organiZa-
ton that has declared before the
world that it stands with and ap-
proves the action of France and
Belgium.
1--WE have faith in the expression ut
tered so lately by your distinguished
premier, NJ. Poincare," continued Col
Owslcy. that France does not desire
to occupy any territory belonging &c
other people except to obtain repara-
tions from our recent enemies. We
feel France will make good her pledge
and that as the Germans actually full
fill their undertaking on reparations
moved from Germany.
81 should not be true to you or &c
myself If / did not speak plainly ant
frankly. To you French, we ask that
no thought of territorial aggrandize
ment be in Your mind. but we would
not desire that France be left defence
less before those who ToulC seek to in
wade her again. But You must sustain
your friends in the United States by
giving your enemies no opportunity te
question your motives"
CoIonel Owslcy's rise to The Lcgio:
of Honor is one of the most rapid il
rlemory, as he was nominated immcdi
ately to be commander without pro.
gress passed through The lower grades
of knight and officer. The French gov
eminent felt that nothing but the ranl
of commander was commensurate with
the place that the COMMUNICATIVE hio1
os the Legion holds in American public

many people from outside of

from the fair on account of the

It certainly did look dubious

END CONFERENCES

Harrisburg. Pa, Aug. 2S-(By A.

issues on which a suspension Of an
,hracite mining has been ordered for
september l, Governor Pinchot Of
Pennsylvania today broke off the
series of conferences which he has
been conducting with operators rep
resentatives and officials Of the
miners union and went to work
drafting a settlement suggestion of
his own. Both groups of men, who
have been separately closeted with
Rim for prolonged intervals during
the two days since he interviewed to
nrevent a break, agreed to await the
nroposal he will make, but professed
entire ignorance as to its terms.
81 have conferred with both Sides
the governor said in brief an
nouncement of his purpose, and told
them | hoped they would remain IN
Harrisburg tomorrow within reach
for consultation, and that l desire at
tbe earliest possible moment before
tomorrow night. if 1 can manage it.
10 have ready a suggestion for set
tement OF llle StIlhe. DUN 9AoSo
have courteously acceded to my re-
quest"
Meantime. with barely - hours to
elapse before the men abandon their
working places. the operators and
miners took a step in anticipa ton OF
the struggle, to provide for the en-
ployment of engineers, pump oper-
etors and maintenance men under
ground, while the miners are idle.
Unless this work goes on, the mines
will flood and cave in, suffering per-
haps irreparable damage.
Governor Pinchot, fully converSant
with the compleXity Of the situation
he has to handle, was expected to
consume several hours in preparing
the details of his proposal. His
peace proposal, it was said by some
advisers, would have four things 10
suggest, as follows:
IA 3O-day truce, with withdraw
al of the union suspension orders.
2-Consent by operators to aboll-
ton of all but eight hour day en-
ployment. o,,a.
3-Consent by operators to allow
unions to install agents in company
offices on pay days for the purpose VI
collecting union dues.
4-An dSIttIiltiI Wy DONAA
continue Joint negotiations for the
purpose of fixing wage scales, win
the decision to be retroactive untll
September l.
In some respects. the peace offer
corresponded with a compromise pro
,posal made by John l.. Lewis, the
union president to the United states
Coal Commission in New York two
weeks ago. The suggestion that I'M
lon agents be installed in company
offices to collect dues was SAID TO be
a partial compliance with the union
demand for the "check-off," the sys,
tenn by which the operators Woulo
collect the dues from each employe.
and turn them directly over to the
union. The unions wage demand
which would be left untouched by the
suggested proposal, is for 81 a DAY
increase for all men employed by
the day and a 20 percent IN piece
rates per ton for mining coal.
There were several variations.

what general course Governor Pm

bad roads from attending the tour
of central Maine clubs to Augusta a
year ago, made another try, Tues
day. They didn't pick as good a day
as they had hoped for, but they GER
tainly had a good time.
There were IS club boys and girls
and their local leaders in the pro-

from raising chickens. When he was
nine years of age he was presented

in that delightful occupation he was
possessor of a flock of 800 or 400
