DESERTED VILLAGE
 SOLD AT AUCTION
Mills and Houses Go on Block
 Today

Manchaug, Mass, Aug. "A R- This deserted village went on the auction block Tuesday. Abandoned in 1921 by B. B. & R. Knight, Inc, and visited since by a devastating fire, the company's entire property, consisting of 74 houses, three mills, a large farm, wood tracts and meadow land went under the ham mer to the highest bidders. Many of houses were sold yesterday but the mills will not be sold until today.
 More than 1000 persons from every section of Worcester County and Rhode Island were present. Bidding was spirited at the outset of the sale but the enthusiasm soon waned and after the first five parcels had been sold but few bids were made. The first house went for s1,025: the second, much of the other parcels all went at prices ranging from s4o0 to $500.
 The village was founded in 1926 by the B. B. & R. Knight, Inc. for manufacturing purposes and has been rebuilt since: It was thriv- ing industrial community until 1921 when the postwar collapse forced the closing of the mills. The town depended on them. Its men worked in them. They were its life. And when employment ceased. 1900 of the 1900 inha bitants moved to other places.
 Since the mills stopped turning, the Knight Corporation has allowed the tenants free use of the buildings. And it saved from the block house which is deeded free to the Baptists of the Community. It gave another building to Rev. Paul Hanotel, pas tor of St. Anne's Catholic church, when fire razed that structure. It was estimated that the sale of the 74 parcels outside of the three mills. will be s5o,000. No estimate was offered on the amount that the three mills may bring. These mill buildings it was stated, could not be duplicated today for less than s50o,0oo.

1ROTSKY SAYS CAPITAL
 DICTATOR OF AMERICA
Depoeed Bolshevik Leader Says Q. S. Has Only semblahce of Politi-
 cal Democracy

Moscow. Aug. 74 (UP)-Leon Trotsky described the United States today as a dictatorship of concen- trated capital under cover of the outward forms of political de- mocracy."
 The deposed leader of bolshevism commented on the United States in meeting an American labor delega- tion which has arrived here. He told the visitors that Americans thought Soviet Russia was not democratic but that in his opinion the United States was not democra- tic, either.
 If the Americans say we violate freedom" said Trotsky referring to prohibition of public meetings in Soviet Russia. i've reply that in that respect we are somewhat similar to the real fathers of American liber- ty. If the domination of banks, trusts, dreadnaughts, armies and airplanes were abolished we would promise on the same day complete freedom for all parties and all be- liefs"

The plane, which will use Lisbon

stayed all night off the coast here Just
northwest OF Lisbon.

ashore and spent the night in the plane
with the crew.
The Dl230 this afternoon was wait
ing for the fog to lift in order to con
tinue the flight to Lisbon.
Bathers on the Santa Cruz beach
first saw the plane circling over the
spot apparently trying to find a safe
landing place because of fog further
out 10 sea. Rockets We're fired and a
tar barrel was lit to indicate the best
landing place. Finally the plane made
a landing and fishermen went out in
foWboats, bringing one Of the German
flyers ashore to obtain provisions.
When the news spread that the
plane carried a lady passenger, there
was something of a sensation and it
was said today that a committee of
woman bathers went out to the pla ne
70 offer her hospitality ashore, but Frau
Dillenz refused
One of the pilots of the D1230 said
this morning that the plane had suf-
fered no damage, but having a pas
senger aboard and not liking the fog
conditions, the crew decided as a
measure of prudence to descend in the
sea with the assistance of the lights
set out by the bathers.
