BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Senator William E. Borah, chairman
OF the foreign relations committee of
the Senate, has under consideration
an extensive trip through Europe
some time after the adjournment Of
Congress. He has made no definite
decision. He merely has the project
under advisement. His mind will not
be made up until after he has dis
posed of another matter which might
make it inconvenient for him to go
to Europe this year.
Undoubtedly a visit of inquiry to
the Old World by the new leader
in foreign affairs in the United States
Senate is fraught with wide, signifi-
canoe. In Borahs own case, such a
journey will be a matter of educa-
ton.

and international reputation would

purpose would be to size up at first

found them, the Europe with which
the United States will have to deal
during the immediate future.

will not tackle a travelling schedule

Matters of Chief Interest.
These are the matters that natur-

a Senate foreign relations committee
chairman, but in particular to
Borah's heart. They are likely, as
here set down. to rank in Importance

CAVE CITY, KY, Feb. 5.-All ef

means Of the tortuous. twisted pass
age into Sand Cave in a pocket of
which he has lain imprisoned by a
boulder for six days, were abandoned
here today
Under orders from Gen. H. H. Dem

area established at Sand Cave, the
tunnel thru which Collins entered was
closed and sealed and work or sink
ing two foot shaft to the spot where
it has been estimated Collins lies, was

Militia Takes Charge.
The IRON hand Of martial law
ciRmped shut over Sand Cave and its
immediate vicinity when Brig. Gen.
III. H, Denhardt, adjutant general of
Kentucky, arrived with stan officers
and took charge Of the situation.
Gusrdsmen were posted at strateg-
ic points along the cliffs overlooking
the caves entrance and scores of ap-
parently idly curious who for days
have roamed at will about the scene,
hindering the rescue work and bring
ing chaos to situation already tense
from nerves strained alomost to snap

challenges.
Rescue Work Organized.
Admission was denied to all except
workers and newspapermen and what

dwindled to a scarce dozen. Organ
ICED rescue work and maintenance
was under way apparently for the
first time in the six days in which a
man has lain dying in the earth's
bowels while those above argued and
wrangled about reaching him.
Expected to Live 4e Hours.
The shaft method of rescue has
been determined on in final effort.
1t is question of certain death bal
anced against the faintest hope of
life.
The tunnel method, previously in
effect, miners said, meant impossi-
bility of rescue Of Collins and most
certain death for those who braved
the mud-flled passage in an effort to
reach him. The shaft method, at the
worst, will sacrifice only one man to
the lure OF the caves.

rescuers argue, the chances are the

PARIS, Feb. 5.A-it is not impossible
that the expulsion Of the Greek patrI-

a severe crisis n the Balkans, Involv-
ing England and France.
The French government is per
turbed over conference recently
held between representatives of Bull
garia, RoumaniA, Jugo-slavia and
Greece at which plans for mutual &C
ton against Turkey were discussed
France and the Balkan Bloc.
1t now appears that the recent visit
of Chamberlain to the Balkans and
the lining up Of the small nations Lad
another purpose besides the Anti-So-
Wet alliance which was announced by
the Balkan governments. France now
believes that It was an Anti-French
as wen as an Anti-soviet bloc.
Britain favors neutralizing Con
stantinople and placing 1t under the
jurisdiction of the league of nations,
This would be equal to turning it over
to Britain. Jugo-slavia and Roumania
favor this course. France is against
any such move, and warns that an
attempt to drive tie Turks out Of Eu-
rope would have disastrous effects on
the peace Of Eufope.
Herriot warned Roumania that an
attempt to invade Turkey would leave

ton with Russian army lowering on

Especial to The Daily WORKER
MARsHALLTOWN, Ia, Feb. g.
This is one of the oldest towns in
Iowa state but has failed to keep pace
with the towns who have coal mines
or gypsum rock in their locality. Il
has grown, but only as the farm landa
have developed and TO serve their
needs. It has something like sixty
small factories employing about three
thousand workers, and the M. E. st.
L, R. R. shops about 1000. They
also claim the largest steel furnace
plant In the world.
Lots Of Sinners.
The population is about 10000 and
they boast Of twenty-five churches:
many Of them massive structures.
The visitor is impressed with them
and can think Of nothing but 40 times
40, the number of churches in the
Moscow of the car. This does not
include the salvation army, gospel
mission. ETC.. which are all represent
ed, as are also the various creeds
patronized by the Negroes. There
surely must be many sinners in Mar
shalltown.
5ossed and Preached At.
This small town is bossed by three
or four men. Their daily newspaper,
which they boast is the largest in the
country for a city of its size, is
owned by one of the richest men in
own; he is a democrat" in politics
but reactionary republican editor.
He controls the Lenox Furnace COM
pany, the largest employer Of labor
outside the railroad Shops, and Is
also a big landowner.
During the railroad shopmen's
strike the friendly merchants could
be counted on one hand. There is a
commission form of municipal gov
eminent here, and the mayor, who is
doctor and colonel in the medical
CORPS, tries to run the city on military
lines.
About five years ago they had a
packinghouse in Marshalltown. The
workers had a strike and they closed
the plant for all time.
The townspeople are preached at
and bossed but the town seems to get
along pretty well just the same.
There are comparatively few unem-
ployed.
About 20 Unions in Town.
There are thirteen locals affiliated
to the Trades and Labor Assembly
which, with the railroad unions, and
others. make about twenty locals.
There is little or no activity among
hem to improve conditions OF build
up membership. There are also a num-
Der of women's auxiliaries who help
maintain the feeling of comfort by
serving cake and coffee at the meet
ings.
Life in this small town appears like
hat Of the limited circle Of the cars
nujiks, allowing for the American
dress and personal appearance, and H.
obvious to the observant visitor.
The 6oIshevIks Are Coming.
Into this atmosphere OF reaetion
two organizers for the Workers Party
will enter by holding a meeting at the
