Naturally there are q few skep-

For the benefit OF those doubters
would like to state that the fish,

or spawn, which proves that they
were of the travelling variety, on
their way to lay plans for a future
finny generation.
From present indications 1t looks
as though the initial school of

War, Figures Given by
Hoover Show

Washington. July l0.-R-De-
spite the diplomatic breach between
Wa shingt on and Moscow, and the
complete absence of the usual official
agencies for promoting commercial
intercourse, Russian American trade
continues On the increase.
Commerce Deps rtment figures for
the calendar year 1924 record total
export and import business with Rus
sra amounting to $49,O00,CO0, while
statistics compiled by the Russian
Information Bureau here reach the
even higher figure of $4,000, 900.
The showing leads Information Bur
eau officials to predict 1925 total
Of upwards of $75.OUO,OO0, compared
to an average annual interchange
amounting to about $45,O00,OOU be-
fore the World War.
Trade agencies set up in the Unit
ed States By the Russian government
and by various Russian industrial
groups have supplied the machinery
through which this vast trade is
carried on. In some measure these
agencies have taken the place Of the
consular agents who are missing be-
cause of the failure Of the United
States government to officially re-
ccive any emissaries of the Soviet.
The trade machinery thus provid
cd has it's hub in New York City,
where several Russian commercial
agencies maintain headquarters. The
system is described by the Russian
Information Bureau as follows:
In principle Soviet foreign trade is
. monopoly vested in the Peoples
Commisariat Of Foreign Trade. In
practice the Commisariat confines
itself to regulatory supervision, and
the actual trading is carried on by
various commercial organizations, in
some Of which foreign private CAPT
tai is allied with Soviet capital.
The principal agency for general
trade in the United States is the
Am;org Trading Corporation, incor-
porated in New York State with a
pad-up capital Of 81 100000 and with
both Russians and Americans among
it's officials. 1t represents directly
most of the great Russian monopolics.
including the coal, sugar and cleo
trical trusts. Its 1924 trade turnover
amounted to $l7,0Go.0oo.

agency of the Central Union of Rus-
sian Consumers oopcratlveS, a
group representing millions of men,

81 600. OoG worth of business. mostly
in furs imported from Russia.
The Russian Union Of Agricultural
Cooperatives likewise maintains its
trading agency in the United States.

turnover is comparatively small. An
other trading medium is the Allied
American Company. which represents
nS American commercial flrms IN
Russia and last year handled $4.-

The Information Bureaus statistics
show that Russian purchases in the
United States are about four times
the sales of Russian products here.

OLD STRUGGLE

REVIVED TODAY
Trial of Scopes Has Prece-
dents Which Reach Back
for Centuries

New York, July lO-(P) THE age
old effort to define truth will be
revived when Professor John T.
Scopes. Tennessee evolutionist, has
his day in court.
His indictment for teaching the
Darwinian theory in public schools
contrary to the statute has preced-
cnts which reach back for centuries.
In America they date virtually from
Plymouth Rock; in the world at
large. from the dawn of the Chris
tian era.
The now nationally known Scopes
case" is recognizably askin to prevail
ing differences between Modernists
and Fundamentalists which have in
creased with the rise of DR.. Harry
Emerson Fosdick.
The last actual trial occurred in
Cleveland, O., in May, 1924, when
William Montgomery Brown, former
Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Ar
kansas, was pronounced guilty by .
church court Of holding beliefs at
odds with the accepted doctrine Of
his denomination. He publicly avowed
communism and so-called atheism.
In the '90s, Professor Charles A
Briggs, a Presbyterian seminarian of
New York City, was charged with
having expressed himself at variance
with the Westminster Confession.
The New York Presbytery cleared
him, but the General Assembly Of the
church reversed the decision and
pronounced verdict of suspension.
DR.. Richard Heber Newton, Il New
York Episcopalan. of the same per-
iod, cut short charges against his
broad Guardianship by demanding
formal trial. His demand was met,
but the plaintiffs failed to appear.

DIR. IlOELSCIiER MAKES ANNOC NJ ENlENT,

Dr. Ioelscher announces that af- ter carefully examining his equip ment remaining after the fire, he finds it impossible to render the conditions for the ensuing winter months.
 He will leave about December , over the trail for the Outside where he will purchase modern dental equipment and if possible will come back to Nome over the trail in the Spring but al any rate he will be here not later than the first boat in June.
 In the meantime he has leased the rooms over the Lomen Drug Store. They are being reconstruct ed into q modern dental office and will be ready for occupation prior to his arrival. Dr. Hoelscher re- grets that this step is necessary but feels he is doing the fairest thing by his practice in making the trip At the same time there will he an advantage gained. inasmuch as it will afford him splendid oppor- tunity of obtaining late improve ments in dentistry which have de veloped in the last two veara- and while outside -ne will also take q short postgraduate course at the North Pacific Dental College of Portland. Oregon.
 Dr. Hoelscher states that he has thoroughly enjoyed his practice here and will look forward 10 his return to Nome.
