SALVAGE EXPERTS
WILL DIVE FOR LOST
TREASURES IN SEA

LONDON, Sept. 4.-Operations for
the recovery of all treasure lost at
sea since the time of the Spanish
armada are planned by salvage eS-
perts. The total value of sunken treas
ure is estimated at 5000, 1000, 900,
and it lies in various hooks of the
Seven Seas.
Work will be ctarted shortly in an
effort to find gold lost on ships sunk
off the Irish coast during the great
war and the unknown wealth that
went down in the same vicinity during
the days of the armada and the Ma
poleonic wars.
Next an attempt will be made to
recover the jewels of the Emperor
Macmillan.

KING BOOTLEGGER
ASKS RELEASE FROM
ONE-YEAR JAIL TERM
BY the Associated Press.

DAYTON, Sept. 4.-Gcorge Remus,
Cincinnati bootleg king, who was
brought TO the Montgomery county
Jail today from the federal peniten-
tiary at Atlanta to serve Jail SEN
tence of one year, is looking to habeas
corpus proceedings, begun by his at
torney to make him a free man
again.
A writ of haheas corpus has been
asked of the federal court on the
ground that the sentence which sent
him to the Atlanta prison for two
years and that committing him to
Jail for one year should have run con-
currently instead of consecutively.
Federal Judge Hickenlooper will hear
arguments in the case Tuesday.

Nevertheless 1t may be deciphered
without knowledge Of Latin. Can
you read 1t?
Last puzzle answer;
The plot of ground measured a
feet each way, thus giving 1t an
area of 5,476 square feet. BY adding
one foot each way, making the plot
T5x75, its area became 5,625 square
feet, making 14s square feet more.
The simple rule whereby this
problem may be worked Is that the
sum of any two adjacent numbers
.(s.ach as 8 and 4; II and IL. "a anc
75) is equal to the difference Of their
squares. Thus n and IS total 149,
which gives the clew to the answer.

does not bring boasting or self-exul-
tation; in the presence of discOurtesy
it is not rude and does not put its
rights before those of others, nor is it
angry or resentful; when some one
else "gets his" it does not rejoice on
that account but happy when the
truth is known, even tho it may work
personal hardship; it does not grow
thin under the hardest wear. If grace
like that possesses ones soul, then it
is Christ's indeed, for His love in face
of all things knew no lack since hav-
ing loved His own He loved them "up
to the limit"
THE IMPERISHABLE GRACE.
In dying world in which all things
pass there is one thing that does not
perish, but persists. Knowledge of
which we so boast gives way before
more information. Even Paul thought
the earth was flat while the least
among the school children has learn
ed that it is round, and though his
knowledge has passed away his love
is living yet. AS warm as the words
that carried it to his many friends it
fingers among his letters and gives
ones own heart the glow of appreci-
alton that insists upon equal affec-
ton toward others even while we
smile at some of the things he believ-
ed to be true. Even religion changes
with passing years, so that to say
that there are infants in hell no
more than a span long" or to "disbe-
lieve in witchcraft is to disbelieve
Gods word" is out of the question to-
day. Just now evolution and creation
are headlined and as the patient cen

Is the soul of religion in all the ages.
And when the worlds have died love
and God shall live with faith and
hope in their train. Faith visualizes,
hope actualizes," writes Jowett, ''but
love vitalizes," and will always give
vitality to whatever other graces may
be in its company.

A Conversation.
Henry ponderY
Morgantown, W. Va.

To the DAILY WORKER: On Ash
land Ave-, Negro worker asked me
for match and having this opening
started a conversation with him. He
proved to be an ex-salt water sailor,
shunted aside after acquiring a stiff
limb, and this gave us good start
as was in somewhat the same boat.
We walked along and soon the din
gy street turned into a rebel turnpike
for here was one driven to mental re-
volt land ready for action) by life
as he found it. In contact with his
fellows on the sea and in deep water
ports he had acquired an theology
something like this:
This cursed system must go and in
this country the chief thing is to get
white and black workers united with
that end in view. A standard Of liv-
ing here that almost equals that of
some Of the "best people" in China,
Egypt land other places he had been
to- was all to the mustard because the
workers here would fight before los
ing out on that very far and that was
just what the present capitalist sys-
tenn could not provide for very long.
Just from work." l was delaying
his home going so we shook hands for
the last time and he sang out, Follow
Russia, that is what we will do when
our time comes and woe to those who
oppose u.s." but there was a world Of
sincerity back Of it that one would
need to hear to appreciate.
Can't say he had read such a lot,
but after being told about the Work
ers Party and receiving the promise
of some literature his enthusiasm in
creased.
Can we not more and more (as Len
in, our leader did all those years. feel
this change coming down upon us and
miss as few chances as possible (even
in a small way) to prepare for it.
Fraternally,
Les Fillmore.

Letters From Our Readers

ganized labor by vote Of three to
one.
On Jan. 26, 1926, the school board
held their regular meeting and there
voted to punish the workers chill
dren by abolishing three kindergar-
ten classes and also to stop the feed
ing of daily Of 80 undernourished
boys and girls.
In steps our kind hearted capital
list, Mr.. Theodore Gerlach, owner of
one of the country's largest calendar
making plants where most Of his en-
ployes are girls and women working
for very low wages, most Of them as
low as $1,000 per week He publicly
announced he would give si,1O5.0O to
continue feeding the poorly nourished
children each day.
One Of these poorly fed boys has
a sister working in Mr.. Gerlach's
great plant. She is 16 years old, and
is vainly trying to help feed her nu-
merous brothers and sisters. She lie
assigned to printing little cards and
until one week ago, was receiving
one cent per card, or s1.0O per hun
bred
Generous Mr.. Gerlach set new
rate Of so cents per hundred or a fiat
20 per cent reduction He gave as
his reason that one very skilled and
able worker earned $500 for two
weeks work. This sounds like fc-
ton, but it is the brutal truth. Such
is capitalism in Joliet

$780,!

With one huge wallop of 81 400
and a steady dollar tapping of
s179.21, the last spike in the
DAILY WORKERS insurance
drive for 1925 was firmly fixed
in place Friday. This brings the
total to $20,799.99.
The $4,000 is an anonymous
contribution from q working
mems organization, a longtime
supporter OF the American Com
munist movement.
"unless the DAILY WORKER
Is insured, all Communist or

are In lmlnent danger. The fInan.
elaI demads OF our press must
be met Immediately. No distinct
party progress ls thlnkable while

This message came with the
$4,000 and should serve as a
spur to all Workers Party
branches in their efforts to iii
their insurance quota.

the tourists-and a word about labor.
AS to your attitude toward the tour
lists, well, had a room out on VIII
shire during November at 81 a week.
But on the first Of December 1 was
notified that the rent had gone up to
$1,000 a week-put up or get out 1t
was explained that the tourists would
soon be piling in and that they would
get 81 a night or $1,000 a week until

AS to the working man and the con-

work in southern California" do you
know that men are working under
ground in the 5th street tunnel IL
hours a day? Is it possible that Cal

would never be enforced) to the ef-
feet that unless a man works seven
days, believe it is, on job the fee

return OF this fee, according to law

bed and in some cases abused the
same as the animals with the mouth
disease.
Yes, California is all right. II has
some good soil and some nice elm
ates. The tourists and workers were
not condemning the soil They were
condemning the grafters.
