GRAVE STEP
ANNOUNCED
TO COMMONS
Premier Baldwin Charges
Soviet With Subversive
Measures.
CHINESE ANGLE
Minister Asserts BOrOdin
acting for BOlsheviks In
China.

LONDON, May q. up - Premier
Baldwin made in the house of COM
mons today perhaps the gravest an
nouncement parliament has had to
listen to since the war-that the Brit
ish government had decided to sever
all relations with Russia.
BY a curious coincident it was En-
pire day, when the whole nation cele-
brates its loyalty and unity. Also, by
the chances of travel, Ramsay Mac
Donald, former labor premier, whose
government it was which first rec
ognized the soviet government, ar
rived just too late to hear the prime
minister make his momentous state
ment, which was listened to in a tense
silence by a crowded house and a
large diplomatic gathering, including
the German and Japanese ambassa-
dors.
1t was a formidable indictment
which the head of the government,
replacing for the occasion Sir William
Joynson- Hicks, home secretary, and
Sir Austen Chamberlain, foreign sec
retary, who previously had charge of
these matters, had TO bring against
the soviet authorities as justification
for the governments decision.
Premier Baldwin'S comparatively
short speech, delivered in low and
serious tone, appeared to carry full
conviction, at least to all the mem
bers of the conservative party, and
even to some of the liberals, where
before some doubts had been enter
tanned on the advisability or justifica-
ton of going to the length the gov
ernment had gone.
The house for the past few days
had been expecting the home secre-
tary to reveal the secrets of the ARGOS
raid. This the premier did to some
extent, but not in great detail. APP
parently this has been reserved for
publication later in official papers
What he outlined quoting from va
rious of the seized documents for the
purpose, was proof of subversive ac-
tivities by societ agents, and that
there was no differentiation to be
made between these activities and the
activities of the trade delegation. 1t
was a deliberate and systematic abuse
of their diplomatic privileges by the
soviet authorities which, the premier
contended, justified the government
in asking parliament to endorse its
grave decision to sever all relations.
Describing how the missing docu-
ment from the British war office had
been photographed and sent to Mos
COW; Baldwin told of the police in
vasion of photostat office in the
soviet house, which answered exactly
to descriptions previously given to the
police and which was occupied by a
senior clerk, Anton Miller, known to
be connected with the activities of
the secret agents. This room occu-
pied by Miller adjoined the private
office of NJ Khinchuk, head of the

President Coolidge Plans
HOnoring Hero of His
tOric Flight.
PLAN WELCOMES
New York and Washington
Planning Unprecedented
Receptions.

WASHINGTON May "a P).-Navy
destroyers were placed today at the
disposal of Captain Charles Lindbergh,
New York to Paris flyer, for his return
home and the transportation to this
country of his plane, ''The Spirit of
ST. Louis"
This offer was flashed across the sea
after call at the White House by
Assistant Secretary Robinson, of the
navy, as the president and all Wash
ington continued to admire and make
plans for honoring the youthful aviator.
Making known that destroyers of the
25th division now in European waters
were available to Captain Lindbergh,
President Coolidge reflected today that
the accomplishment of Americas
aviator was something which grew on
one the more it was contemplated. The
more that is learned of his feat, he
considers, the greater it seems to have
been.
Commander W. w. Galbraith, in
charge of the destroyer division, was
directed by the navy to inform Lind
bergh that he could return to his
homeland aboard destroyer and that
his plane would be brought back the
same way The division is sailing for
America June Is.
Meanwhile, other means of showing
its admiration were under consideration
by the administration and the city Of
Washington. The hope has been ex-
pressed that form of material decora
ton can be given to Lindbergh by the
government and Washington, which
has welcomed the heroes of many lands
and wars in the past, is preparing to
give him one of its best receptions.
NEW YORK, May ID (F0.-The shout
ing and the tumult which has not died
since Captain Charles A. Lindbergh
departed for Paris will reach it's full roar
when he returns to New York. On his
return home a reception here, putting
to shame welcomes given kings, queens
and heroes of other days, will be given
him.
Although "Slim" has not decided
when he will come back, preparations
are being made in many quarters to
let him know that the folk at home
were with him in spirit as he and the
spirit of ST. Louis" winged their way
to aris. Evidences that millions glory
with him in the fame he has brought
to his country will not be lacking in the
reception.
The welcome will be as official as

Aqua PrietQ Benefit
For Flood Sufferers
Will Exceed $1,000

Between $1,000 and $1,000 will be
turned over to the local chapter OF
the American Red Cross within q
few days by representative MeXicars
who last Saturday night staged a,
fair and fiesta at the Club Soclale,

Tins Of the Mississippi valley, it was
announced last night by Ignacio
Soto. chairman OF the main com
noiJtee Of the fair promoters.
About half OF this sum was real
lied from the sale OF tickets to the
fair, Soto said Approximately the
other half was realized from votes
sold for election OF queen of the
fair and fiesta and for other con-
cessions at the big entertainment
last Saturday night.
Soto, who has been handing the
funds collected by the various work.
crs for The fair, said last night that
lie yesterday reported to the COM
mittee il, charge OF sums realized
from various sources and that his
report was approved. The exact sum
could not be stated last night, Soto
said, because all those who had
tickets for sale have not yet re-
ported and returned tickets unsoid.
Il thank all those people OF Doug
las, Bisbee and Naco and Diner places
on the American side of the border
who bought tickets to our fair and
thus helped Us accumulate the sum
which we are able to report" Soto
said, in speaking OF the success OF
the fair and fiesta.
"It is gratifying to us, however,
that most OF the money to be turned
over to the Red Gross came from
the funds OF Nfexicans Who have
heen deeply touched by the suffer-
ings of the men, women and chill
dren of the great Mississippi valley
through being rendered homeless by
the flood"
Very few people from the Aneri-
can side of the line were present at
the fair and fiesta Saturday night
"In behalf Of the various members
of the committees I also thank the
directors Of the Club /Sociale FOL

FLOOD VICTIMS
AREINCRE,ASED
$4,000 BY RENT
Million More Acres Thrown
Open to Invasion by
Inland Sea

NEW ORLEANS, May "a tP-The
last dry land between leveeS OF the
Mississippi and rolling highlands be-
yond the west banks OF the Atchar-
alaya was vanishing tonight as water
streamed through rent in the dlkes
at McCrea, ON the east bank ct the
of water almost so miles wide.
Before the flood waters have
vanished into the Gulf of Mexico,
they will have cut path so miles
wide and 200 miles long from the
Arkansas border to the gulf.
Five additional parishes with an
area of 100000 acres, and the
homes of 10000 people were thrown
open to invasion by the inland sea-
when the river tore aside the pro-
lection barriers, at McCrea, and
spread over the lowlands OF Poinra
Coupee parish.
Large portions OF 13 parishes IN
northeastern Louisiana, still were
under water as the flood moved
down upon the south central Louis
lana sugar bowl" through a torn
levce line along Bayou Des GlaiseS
and at Melville, on the west banks O1
the Atchafalaya and striking into
new territory in the Atchafalaya
basin through McCrea crevasse.
The evacuation OF five parishes
added to the floods conquest begun
several days ago.
A desperate fight had been kept
up by more than 1000 men as tht
river tore at the ennbanl1nlents.
A new sand bag dixie had been
built behind the crumbling old levee
line. Throughout the night the
current battered the banks with
swift blows as the water raced south
ward to stream through the Mel
vile cravasse. Early today there
we're indications that the line might
fall. Worknen assembled on the
levees. There was but feepIc
splash, barely audible above the roar
Of the river, as the first sand bags
dropped into the water near the cen
ter of the new line and the stream
trikled through. Then other Sec
tions of the enbankment crumbled,
and with roar the river broke into
the loWlardS.
