Since Wednesday
FEAR HIM LOST AT SEA
All Vessels Are Ordered to
Make Minute Search for

11:10 A. NJ. Wednesday, passed the
cannery at Chignik Lagoon in the
direction of Portage bay. just north
of the Shumagin Islands, was re-
ported by an overland searching
party when it returned here last
night.
Belief that Major Martin was
iforeed down by a strong gale which
arose shortly after he departed
from Chignik toward the Bering sea
resulted in orders being broadcast
from vessels to comb Immediately
the Bering sea shore line from
Dutch Harbor, Unalaska Island, to
Unangashik," north of Chignik.
AS a result of information from
natives scattered along the barren
Alaskan peninsula that they saw
Major Martin, commander of the
United ssates globe circling aerial
squadron, who has been missing
since Wednesday morning, headed

Reports received from King Cove

without any definite trace of the
American aviators.
The route the missing flyers at

Harbor. Although the gales have
moderated and the temperature has
climbed slightly, it was said here
that the missing men might be suf-

Berlin Raid Reveals 81,
Hypocrisy of Moscow

The raiding of the Russian trade,
commissions quarters in Berlin by.
the police and the arrest of 700 listed
as employees discloses some signih-
cant facts worth American considera-
ton. On this list of alleged trade
missionaries were found many Ger
man communists who have been fo-
menting red disturbances. In the
missions quarters were found arms
and propagandist literature of the
red international
Thus We have a very neat demon
stration OF the hypocrisy of the Mos
it is not responsible for the inter
nationl revolutionary operations of
the communist international.
The denial was absurd, a palpabIe,
ouibble; but our pinks and our ad--
vocates Of recognition for trade have
affected to believe it The Berlin raid
shows the soviet government acting,
as an agent for the international
which 1t. in fact, controls morally
and financially.
Americans who think our refusal
to recognize the soviet regime is
pedantic. illogical or impractical are
invited to ponder the disclosures of
the Berlin raid. There are no ad-
vantages from recognition in the way
OF business with a busted and demo-,
rallied country which would offset
the nuisance which certainly would
result from allowing Moscow to plant,

disguise of diplomatic and consular

diplomatic mmunities.-Chicago Daily
