this was not surprising since Droe-

stepchildren live elsewhere
For that matter, today was like
most any other day recently. Dr..

Thursday. Today DR.. Hexamer called

broke down the door and found Droe-

days ago. To all appearances the
dog had kept steady vigil over his

OIL GROUPS ATTACKED.
Moscow Papers Say They Tried to
Break Up Conference.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, August 9.-No official
statement has yet been issued con-
cerning the Anglo-Soviet treaty and
trade agreement signed at London
yesterday. and the first particulars
of the London negotiations, together
with commAnt on the outcome, ap-
peared in the Soviet press this
morning.
IZvestia holds that the oil groups
were responsible for the early
break up of the negotiations, saying
that they hoped lit would be easier
to come to terms with the Soviet
government after failure of the con-
ference"
The paper alleges that national
ization of the property of British
owners saved them from bankruptcy
because Of the World War, civil war
and the shortage of fuel. A majority
of the owners. it says, deserted their
properties, which were saved from
final ruin by the act of nationaliza-
ton.
The Pravda predicts that the
Anglo Russian treaty will be fol-
lowed inevitably by Russo French,
Russo Japanese and Russo American
agreements.
