SOVIET SILENT ON FARLEY.
No Bid Yet Received to Projected World
Trade Conference.

No Bid Yet Received to Projected World
Trade Conference.
MOSCOW, October R.-Up to now
Soviet Russia has not been invited to
participate in the projected World
Economic Conference and, in the alb
sence of official information concerning
it, government authorities refuse to
comment.
In unofficial quarters, however, the
opinion Is expressed that the meeting
would be incomplete without repre-
sentation from Russia, and that If this
country does participate it probably
will present very definite ideas on the
present state of world economy, which
has had disastrous effect here through
the decline of prices of Russian exports
in the international market.
Although the government has had
little opportunity to give thought to the
matter, it is gathered that if Russia
participates in the conference its dele
gates probably will be guided by the
same principles which actuated Maxim
Litvinoff, the foreign commissar, when
he proposed a world pact of economic
aggression at Geneva last year.
He maintained then that preferential
tariffs only make the present conditions
more acute. and that the only solution
is policy Of economic cooperation
among the nations. It Is even possible
that his proposal would be offered again
by Russia in its original or in some
modified form.
Soviet Russia is said to be uninter-
ested in any discussion of the worlds
currency troubles, which advance re-
ports indicate may be taken up at the
world conference, principally because Of
the peculiar position its money holds IN
relation to the international money
market.

HAGERSTOWN, Md, October T.
That the Woodmen of the World Lodge
of Hagerstown put in bar and sold
home-brew with the hope of making
enough money to pay off the mortgage
on its new building, was the statement
of Scott M Wolfnger, counsel for Kelly
Long and William j. Peterson. employees
of the fraternal order, when the two ap-
peared before Judge William C. Cole
man In Federal Court yesterday.
They were charged with sale and pos
session of liquor and maintaining a
nuisance at the lodge.
The two were about to be sentenced
when their attorney arose and told the
court that they we're not responsible for
the sale, but were only employees. the
court then ordered their pleas of guilty
withdrawn and ordered an immediate
investigation. The court said it was al
ways his policy to punish the higher
ups" in these cases, rather than the
mere employees. .-..
A. Risley Ensor, assistant United
States district attorney. who was order
ed to make further probe. said the
probe he had made failed to produce
any evidence the lodge, which has about
$50 members here, had anything to do
with the sale Of intoxicants.

FOREST FIRE NEARS
REFUGEE CAMP SITE
New Blaze, Famed by Stiff Wind,
Breaks Out 80 Miles West
Of Portland.
Br the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Oreg., October Draw
ing a new breath of life from a stiff
north wind, a forest fire flared early
today in the Pumpkin Ridge district,
about 30 miles west of Portland, and
imperiled the Red Gross tent colony
sheltering families whose homes in the
district already had fallen before the
flames
The new blaze was an offspring of
the fire that wiped out the mill town
of Cochran three days ago. 1t spread
through timber and land untouched by
its parent blaze. 1t came suddenly
as fire fighters throughout Western
Oregon and Southwestern Washington
hoped cooler weather and greater hu-
midity had checked the fires.
The American Red Cross moved into
the area yesterday to bring relief to
the half hundred families left home
less by the confagrations.
Other blaZes in Western Washington
and Oregon were reported under con-
troll, though hundreds OF men remained
on guard.

one of the major things keeping back

Although unemployment still was a
cause of great anxiety, he said, con-
siderable further economy would be
achieved with the least possible dis

GERMANY ACCEPTS

Insists, However, That Equal

tional acceptance, however. 1t insists
that the German claim for equal
rights. be the chief subject Of discus
sion. Should the French demand fd
the participation Of Poland and Bel
gium prevail, the Germans intend to
raise the question with these powers as
to Just how far and to what extent
they intend to disarm before commit
ting themselves to any definite limita-
tions.
1t must be explained that by equal
rights in armament the Germans do
not mean any 50 purely juridical inter-
probation as could be achieved by SUBJ
stituting for part Of the treaty of
Versailles a new document containing
the same limitations. Such a purely
legal equality Is not what they want.
They want armament limitation &C
cording to the same programs and the
same categories as the other powers.
Thus in the list Of tables which could
be drawn containing each country S
quota of various weapons the Germans
would be willing to have zero stand in
certain German columns on condition
that the other countries pledge them
selves to abolish these weapons within
a term Of years. But the Germans do
not intend longer to abide by any form
of armament limitation which is ap-
plicable to them alone.
Within the new limits they intend to
reorganize their army ,as they see fit,
abolishing useless cavalry, shortening
the term of service and organizing bat
talions. regiments and divisions as they
see fit.
The only special limitation consid-
cred acceptable by the Germans is a
disarmed zone extending to so kilo-
meters (about 80 miles, east of the
Rhine. 1t is explained that this linn
itation was included in the Locarno
agreement, by which the Germans con-
slider themselves bound.
