SILENT WATCH
 BEFORE HOUSE
(csntInusd frsm Page ons)

was no fear that the coming and going at the $ street entrance of the house would disturb him, even the noise of the streets about could rise but softly to that quiet room and none sought through the day to bar any one who wished to stand a moment before the house.
 Prayers for Wilson
 A woman came to the door with the wish in her heart to pray for the sick man. The police officer on watch ques- tioned her gently. She crossed the street and stood silently, with head bowed for a few moments, then passed on down the street.
 A very few came to seek admittance. Bernard M. Baruch was among those and he spent most of the day in the house seeking some way to be helpful. Joseph P. Tumulty, MT. Wilson's sec retary in the long, stirring years of his political life, came and went, at the house both day and night. His great personal grief was very apparent.
 The Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Episcopal bishop of Washington, came during the day to console and pray with Mrs. Wilson. During the afternoon Joseph Wilson. brother of the former President, came from the house, hasten ing to meet Miss Margaret Wilson, hur- rying to her fathers bedside from New York.
 Taft Calls at Home
 Toward evening" Secretary Weeks car stopped at the bottom of the hill and he walked up to leave his card at the door. Little later Chief Justice Taft walked down the hill with his message of sympathy and later A. Mitchell Palmer, Attorney General in Wilson's last administration, was ad- mitted to the house for few minutes.
 As night fell cold wind rustled through the street. chilling the watch CTS. The group slowly broke up, ex- cept for knot of enlisted men from the non-commissioned officers staff school, whose uniforms made a spot of color under the dim street lights. They were staunch admirers of the former President and came to pay what tribute they could to him.
 For those who stood long in the street there was little to watch. Just the comings and goings at a house of sickness, yet some of them remained long after dark before they surrendered to the cold and drifted away, to leave the vigil to the newspaper reporters.

lighted from two directions, so that the light from one side will light up the shadows cast from the fea- lures of the face by the light from the other side.
 The best lighting, then, is from two bracket fixtures on the walls, one ct each side of the mirror. These fixtures are just at the level of the eye, and the light from them will cause eye-Strain unless we are careful to have them we'll shaded for protection against glare. The bulbs in these bracket fixtures may be from % to 50 watts.
 In some rooms where there is not enough wall space at each side of the mirror on which to put bracket fixtures, we may use a pair of portable candlesticks on the dresser itself, or special sort of bracket which is made to fasten at each side of the mirror itself. Or we may have a single fixture hung from the ceiling over the center of the dresser, the bottom of which is just above the head of a person using the mirror.
 If portable candlesticks are used, or if bracket fixtures are fastened to the mirror, we must not forget a convenience outlet, which may well be of the double or dupiex type mounted in the wall 36 inches above the floor. This also makes it easy to attach curling iron or other appliance. A convenience outlet will also be needed near the head of the bed for boudoir lamp in which a 25-watt bulb will give plenty of light.

Russian Protocols

By The Associated Press.
 London, Oct. 25.-Christian Ra- kovsky. soviet Russian charge d'affaires at London, today sent a strong protest to the foreign office, characterizing as an Obvious for gery' the propagandistic letter, all legedly signed by M. Zinoveiff, presi- dent of the executive of the third tcommunist) international, which was appended to the protest against alleged Russian propaganda in Great Britain, submitted yesterday by the foreign office to NJ. Rakovsky.
 The Russian diplomat declared that foreign office officials should have recognized the Zinoveiff letter as forgery and he complained that the usual diplomatic procedure of notifying his office before the pub lication of such a protest as the ore made yesterday, was not followed in this case.

MOSCOW PLOT ON BRITISH FOUND
SubVerSiOn Of Armed Forces
 Was One Of Plans
By Tho Associated Presa-

By Tho Associated fresA
 London, Oct. 25,--PubsNtation Of a foreign office document supposedly revealing a Red Moscow plot against Great Britain startled the public to- day.
 The document included the text of an alleged letter. marked "very secret" from M. Zinovieff, president of the executive of the Communist International, to the central commit tee of the British communist party, containing in the words Of the for eign office, Instructions to British subjects to work for the violent over throw of existing institutions fin this country and for the subversion of his majesty's armed forces as a means to that end"
 A communication from the foreign office to the Russian charge d at- fairss, M. Rakovsky, calls attention to the alleged zinovief letter and protests against this 'violation of the specific and solemn undertakings re- peatedly given to his majesty's gov ernment." The foreign office letter was signed by J. D. Gregory, one of the government officials in the ab- vence of Premier Macdonald, who is also foreign minister.
 Publication of the letter has arous sd some curiosity as to why the critical moment of an election cam paign was chosen for their issuance. The opponents of the government, whether conservative or liberal, con- tend that the reason for the dramat- 10 appearance of the correspondence was that the government became aware that the livery secret" letter was in the hands of the press and was to be printed today In any case; accordingly that 1t made haste to rush its protest.
 The hostile newspapers taking this view comment in the severest terms. They connect the incident with the suppression of the prosecu- fion In the case of the communist Editor Campbell and find therein proof of their contention that the labor party Is under the sway of the communists. They profess to be shocked at the government keeping the matter dark.
 They also argue that Premier ManDonald, being forced" to pub fish the documents, has shattered his Russian policy and has shown the country that it cannot again entrust it's international relations to the hands of a man "who on his own confession allowed himself to be caioled and outwitted by the country's worst enemies"
 On the other hand there is sug- gestion that the government may have intended publication of the documents as demonstration of its independence and as proof that 1t is not, as it's enemies allege, under Noscow's heel.
 Meanwhile 1t IS stated Tn Dehalt of the accused Russians that the offending document is manifest forgery and that NJ. Rakovsky was so amused by it's absurdity that he burst into laughter upon reading it. The charge is quoted as saying that forgery was evident from the head ing of the letter: Third Commun- ist International" as such 8 title has never been used.
 One of the signatories of the let ter as published is Arthur Me Manus, British representative in the international, who has just returned from Russia. McManus says he never signed such a document and that 1t is a clumsy forgery.
