The Russian Puzzle.

Russia's government, whether mil
itary or civil, is pestered by the
cankering fear which besets an off,
cial in some less favored land,
namely, that he'll wear out in har-
ness and wither in obscurity.
All General So-and-Soski or Com
missar Whatyoumaycallovitch has
to do is let suspicion get about that
he's not in entire accord with ad-
ministration policies and promptly
he commits suicide-by request; or
is invited out to be shot at sunrise.
To be sure, the notion isn't new.
The late Emperor Nero had numer-
Gus well-wishers, including family
relatives, that he felt he could spare
and he just up and spared them.
And, in our own time, Al Capone
built quite an organization for TAX
ing care of such associates as
seemed lacking in the faith. Twas

President Willard Sets Record
Nonstop Rail Trip Saturday

Passing through Oakland at about
$3.50 on Saturday afternoon, Daniel
Willard, president of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, landed in Wash
ington four and one-half hours later,
the longest nonstop railroad run ever
made east of the Mississippi River.
President Willard stepped from his
special train at 8:15 p. m. to announce
the 569-mile run from Cincinnati to
Washington was made in exactly II
hours with no attempt at speed rec
ord.
He added the chief purpose of the
run was to test one of the B. & O.'s
new $500 horsepower Diesel-electric
locomotives, without exceeding pres
emit speed restrictions on any part of
the line. The Diesel engine, he said,
negotiated two ridges of the Allegany
Mountains with no difficulty.
Accompanying Mr.. Willard as his
guest were Sir Josiah Stamp, chair
man of the board of directors of the
Bank of England, and Lady Stamp.
The Briton cabled his London office
from Washington, describing the trip,
and noted the run exceeded considera-
bly, the length of any train run in Eu-
rope. The Royal Scot, of the London,
Midland and Scottish railway, now
makes the longest European run-O2
miles-from London to Glasgow.
