Six Year Experiment With
Soviet Russia Comes TO
an End.

London. = Great Britain's six-year
experiment in trying to live in ordi-

with soviet Russia came to an end
Saturday.
A note signed by Foreign Minister
Chamberlain was delivered to Ches-
ham House, the soviet legation. sew.
ering official relations between the
two countries and requesting soviet
Charge d'Affaires Rosengolz to leave
the country with his staff inside OF
ten days.
The British public does not appear
to be greatly concerned over the sew
GRANGE of relations with the soviet gov
ernment. Most of the concern is ex,
pressed in commercial and financial
quarters where there is much curlc-
sity over the extent to which the
soyiets VIII carry out their threat to
divert the trade hitherto given Great
Britain 10 other countries.
Except in labor circles, it is agreed
almost everywhere that the govern
ments action was fully justified.
The governments decision to break
off diplomatic and trade relations with
Russia was approved by the house OF
commons after an exciting debate,
when the house by a vote of S57 to
Ill adopted a motion to this effect
moved by Geryais Rentoul, conserya-
tive, His motion was in the follow
ing terms:
This house, while approaching the
long forbearance OF his majesty's gov
eminent and their many efforts to
maintain friendly diplomatic relations
with the soviet republics in the face
of acute proyocation, applauds their
decision to withdraw diplomatic privi-
leges which have been so grayely
abused, while at the same time putting
no obstacles in the way of legitimate
trading relations with Russia"

shore, none but good swimmers
should battle in places where
where these big fellows roll as the
Iundertow as they recede will take
you off Your feet and the next one
would pound you on the sand.
How do small boats make a
landing though the surf? Well
how do you think they do? Well
l suppose they pull straight in
shore. A good many think that
way as ii seems the natural thing
to do, but many lives have been
lost doing that very thing, you see
Ia big roller may catch you under
the quarter and over you go, or
most likely as YOU get close to
shore breakers will stick the boat
nose in the sand and eapsize her.
The right way when you get close
in TO shore and before the swells
commence to curl and break, is to
turn the boat as if you were head
ing out TO sea, and as you meet the
waves pull hard through them and
as soon as you are through back
astern as hard as you can, and re
peat the operation till you finally
hit the shore, then jump out quick
and if the boat is not too heavy
grab hold and pull her ashore.
However this kind of landing
should never be attempted if it is
possible to avoid it. 1t is always
better to make landing in some
sheltered place even if it is some
distance away. Landing through
the surf is risky at all times. BY
the way this would be a fine place
to use the surf boards like they do
at waikiki beach in Honolulu. II
would be an added attraction to

first time. Ii was a French Lug
ger loaded with wheat and occurr-
ed in the early morning winter
time. They mistook the light at
the bottom Of Green st. tour
road for the harbor light and
there was lone sailor clinging to
tie mast as the ship rolled with
each sea that struck he. He was
taken off by the life boat but
could have walked ashore at low
water providing he could have
held on till then. The rest of the
crew made the shore in small
boat but not knowing the way to
make a landing were drowned
right on the beach.
Its a curious fact that the av-
erage sailor is Of very little use in
a small boat when it comes to an
emergency in a wreck. Note how
often they get their boats eapsized
when launching from a ship. Pilots
and fishermen are the folks that
know how to handle a small boat
in any weather,

20 MEN ARE CHARGED
WITH PICKPOCKETING
Thirty Persons Report Losses
Reaching More Than $4,000
With Other Valuables.

Inspector Henry G. Pratt, chief Of
detectives, and his "pickpocket
squad" today breathed a sigh of relief
at the termination of the Lindbergh
festivities.
Twenty three persons We're ar
rested as suspected picllpockets dur
ing the two days and more than
thirty persons We're relieved of their
pocketbooks containing cash and
other valuables. Cash taken by the
thieves totaled more than $4,000
In addition to the instances of pick
ing pockets, several persons reported
losses that may have involved the
work of members of the band of pick
pockets. One instance of a loss of
$500 was reported. This money,
however. was not taken from a
pocket, but from a seat in a street
car where the owner thoughtlessly
deposited it
Seven of the suspects proved to be
nationally known pickpockets. ac-
cording to the police, several of them
admitting their identity before de-
tectives made" them in the bureau
of Identification.
Detectives Kelly, Waldron, Swee-
ney, Flaherty and Fowler accom-
panied Inspector Pratt to Arlington
yesterday, and while there they
singled out several persons who
proved to be professionals, arresting
six of them and bringing them in for
investigation"
