INITIALS USED
 MUCH IN RUSSIA
JuniuS B. Wood Writes Inter-
 estin6 Article

Washington, D. C., Dec. 7.-To the casual reader Russia seems a government by initials. There is Tz. I. D., M. 0. P. k. and most potent of all to the average Russian citi- zen, the mysterious, long arm of the G. P. U.
 Junius B. Wood, in a communica- tion to the National Geographic So- ciety describing Russia of the Hour" writes:
 'The G. r. U., name formed from the first letters of it's long Rus sian title, is not a new institution. merely a new name, in Russia. It is the successor of the Okhrana un- der the Tsar, with its 10000 to 50,- 900 informcrs and a smaller number of paid agents permeating every class of society. The Cheka of the Revolution was a transition between the two.
 A System that Russia Knows
 "The scope has been enlarged by uniformed ranks of police and sol diers. Such surveillance, with its absolute power, is a system with which the Russian has long been familiar.
 Where's Ivan Ivanovitch? saw him last night may be a question at the afternoon tea.
 Lubianka.' is the awed whisper.
 "The answer is perfectly clear Ivan sits the vernacular for being in jail, in Lubianka, the imposing Moscow building which formerly was an insurance company's offices, the red clock of which now glows through the night over Lubianka Square, the dreaded preliminary jail and headquarters of the c. r. U.
 Just what Ivan has done to get himself within the clutches of the law is usually a surmise, even among his closest friends. However, 1t is quite certain that the G. r. U. has some information. The arrest is not a haphazard happening.
 "He may have been peculating with government or cooperative funds in charge, smuggling in viola lation of the foreign trade monopoly, leading a private life was not ex- emplary, or indulging in activities which did not contribute to the stability of the government.
 When Curiosity is Restrained

There will be no meeting of the Grange tonight. Tomorrow night a whist will be given at the Grange hall. A committee composed of Harold Lucas. captain, Mrs. J. w.

tenants may have been awakened, but they do not open doors or stick their heads out of windows when q motor chugs in front at that hour of the morning. Their curiosity is bridled until the truck is gone and the building has a tenant less.
 The detail, usually two agents and two policemen, enters Ivan s apartment. There is no rough work unless the host starts it. The visitors are polite, but firm and thorough. In fact, they are so meticulous that usually they express regret to other members of the family for the neces- sity of disturbing them, and present a paper for their signature to prove that the proceedings have been con- ducted courteously.
 No Explanations Given
 "Fcw questions are asked, but the search is painstaking. Pages of books are ruffled, clothes are examined, as are carpets, furniture, pictures on the wall, even the heating ducts. Such documents as are pertinent or which they do not have time to read are taken along. Ivan goes with them.
 ''The news of the arrest is not in the newspapers the following day and no explanation is asked from the G. P. L.. nor would one be given if it were.
 ''1n a few days Ivan may be back among his friends, possibly having been merely suspected of something serious because he was too gar- rulous. More likely he will sit in silence in Lubianlla, and the first word to the outside will be that he has been transferred to Butyrki, a prison where relatives can call and exchange a few words with him l through the iron grille"

 Miss Stewart said she met the Baltimore pastor last summer at the Prince Edward Sunday school. They were to have been married here today, she said, but notificn- ton from the Baltimore police of her intended husbands arrest there Il years ago had led her to change her mind.
 The Rev. Wood. she said, resign ed last Sunday as pastor of the 18th street Christian church in Baltimore after serving one day and preaching two sermons. His resig- nation was understood to have fol- lowed receipt of a letter from the Rev. Dr. Ainslie, pastor of the Bal timore Christian temple. in which the doctor wrote that if the Rev. Wood was the same pastor who was arrested in 1915 it would be much better for the church if your resignation was handed in forth with"

Wood, then giving his age as 59, was arrested in Carroll park on complaint of ten year old Alberta Hohmin on August 2S. 1915.

NOTED ZIONIST
T0LECTURE
IN 8. A.
Maurice Samuel, Student
of Palestine Problems,
in Public Speech.

Maurice Samuel, novelist, editor
war correspondent and Zionist of
worldwide reputation, will be the
principal speaker next Sunday even
ing in Synagogue Agudas Achim, un-
der the auspices Of tibet local Zionist
organization.
Mr.. Samuel's lecture will deal with
Palestine, and is open to the pub
lie.
Born in Roumania, and educated
in Manchester and Paris, Maurice
Samuel early travelled through every
part of Europe, and later through
America, and obtained first-hand
acquaintance with the complex, inter-
national situation, especially as it re-
lates to Jews and Jewish condi.
tons.
AS member of the United States
Pogrom Investigation Commission to
Poland and then as a member of the
Inter-Allied Preparations Commission
in Paris, Berlin and Vienna, MT.
Samuel came into close personal con
tact with the leading diplomats of
Europe and America.
On his return to America, he be-
came a contributor to many periodi-
calls, including 1.-THE New Palestine"
"Jewish Tribune" "The Menordh
Journal" Current History" and
The Day." His recent hooks. "YOu
Gentiles" and "The Jewish Anthol-
ogy," are now being discussed widely
At the request of DR.. Weizman, Mr..
Samuel made a tour of Palestine in
the summer of 1924. His is probably
the most vivid account that has YET
been given of the Jewish life in Pal
estine. His lectures on Palestine, in
New York, have caused widespread
comment in the press.
Sunday noon there will be a lunch
con in his honor at the Menger Hotel.
Many reservations have been already
made.

too long neglected, so
often run into kidney,
liver or bladder troubles
of the most serious con-
sequences, are a striking
example of this.
Most of these distressing
ailments of women start
from simple, ordinary colds.
Allowing these colds to run
on weakens women, and
eventually brings out a con-
dition which makes it easy
for that dreaded malady-
Catarrh of the Female Or
gans-to get a foothold in
their system.
But there is no longer
any real reason why women
should allow these common
disorders to run on, or why
they should dread Catarrh,
when thousands of them
everywhere are finding their
pains and aches quickly dis
appear, and their former
health and strength swiftly
come back, when they start
using st. Joseph's G. F. P,
which is believed to be the
first direct specific for the
relief of this awful malady.
Its almost miraculous
power in stamping out the
demon Catarrh, is giving st.
Joseph's G. F. P. such an
advantage over every other
known method of treating
women for these peculiar
ailments, that it's popularity
is spreading by leaps and
bounds over the entire coun-
try, and more than a million
and a half bottles are sold
in a single year, with the
demand growing every day.
Particularly at this time
of year, when colds are so
prevalent, the best proof
that can be given of the
power of this phenomenal
is the thousands of
beaming happy women, who
suffered from so-called "fe-
male troubles" but are
being restored to health and
happiness, with plenty of
energy, vitality and youth
full buoyancy, through the
consistent use of this phe-
nomenal medicine.
