than one ofiicial suicide traces di-
rectly back to this postal spy.
During all the time, Russian secret
service knew there were leaks in
zivert's bureau. But aged, trusted
Zivert was never suspected. 1t re-
manned for the blood purge following
the Russian Revolution of 1917 to
unmask the 70-year-old Zivert, and
his three principal, and also Austro-
German, assistants
Defense Fails.
Ironically, the spy was arrested
because he had betrayed to the Gar
ist government a number of now
powerful revolutionaries. No one
seemed to be much concerned with
his 40 years of treachery. Thus
zivert was forced to defend himself
as Russian spy, his legitimate occu-
patton, instead of as German spy.
However, his naive defense that
his activities had benefited the COM
mon people, as he had passed along
to his superiors any patriotic or
noble sentiments cleaned from let
ters passing through his bureau, did
him little good. Memories of good
revolutionaries, either dead or in
Siberia, were far too fresh In the
minds Of the Red judges.
That Zivert and his three prin-
cipal aids were convicted is known.
Whether they reached Siberia or
were killed conveniently en- route is
unknown. Russian history is like
that.
Espionage knows no age limit.

fftnentp-frst OF q Series.)

II your work has to do with
national defense, remember there
Is no age limit in espionage. Spies
3 years old-and 80-are far from
uncommon. The very fact that the
unusual conception of a spy is either
a beautiful and willing siren, or a
young. dashing, virile man, renders
age an effective disguise.
Take the aged Karl Zivert. He
had lived in Russia nearly all Of his
life, and for more than 40 years had
worked as postal censor, having
thus served the ministers of interior
of three czars. Also, Zivert had
other talents, for when in 1914, war
was declared, he was drawing not
only his two Russian salaries, but
one from Vienna in addition to a
bonus from Berlin.
Spied on Russians.
So astute a politician as Zivert
eeemed far too busy with Russian
intrigue to find time to double or
triple as a spy. For by this time
Zivert had, by spying on certain
Russian officials. in the interests of
other ambitious Russian officials,
worked himself into the position of
chief Of postal espionage. The
minister Of war, the general staff,
and even certain relatives of the
Car himself felt the delicate touch
Of Zivert's political maneuvers. More

WATERBURY LEADS IN USO CAMPAIGN
25 Connecticut Tow ns Reach Objectives in Ap-
 peal for Funds

A total of 25 Connecticut towns have already reached or oversub- scribed their goals in the state United Service Organizations War Fund Campaign. Oliver V. Ober oi New Haven, state chairman, said today in reporting the fund past the three e-quarters mark for the spring campaign with $504, 406.03 raised through June 20. The spring goal is $643, 900. Six towns will hold fall campaigns to raise $245, 900.
 Towns which have reached their quotas are: Hartford. New London, Waterbury, Bridgeport, Chester, Es- sex, Middlefield, Portland, Salisbury, Sherman, Simsbury, Stafford. Tor rington, Watertown, Cromwell. Co., lumbia, Haddam. Harwinton, Salem, Saybrook, Canton Burlington, Bol- ton, Ashford, New Canaan and Kil- lingworth.
 Greater Hartford, including sims bury and Pennington, leads in amount, reporting incomplete re- turns of $202,350. Its goal was $186, ,000.
 WACeTDuTy .Icduo III PCASCAAVo6S AS porting more than 150 per cent Of Its quota; Essex is nearly 15O per cent; Middlefield 130 per cent; Co., lumbia, New Canaan and Ashford more than l25 per cent and Say- brook 120 per cent.
 In New Canaan. 72 per cent of the people contributed. Canton Burlington went over with It's first report.
 "The people of the state are re- spending in true Connecticut fash ion," MT. Ober said. land I hope that such fine report will not lessen the campaign activity in other towns. We should regard the quota as a minimum rather than a maximum. A contribution to the UsO Is a small way of showing the boys in uniform that we appreciate what they are doing to protect the American Way of Life"

 The report by the resolutions com- mittee, based on Q message written by representatives of three religious conferences held earlier this year at Chicago, Philadelphia and ogden Utah, concluded that now is the time for our whole Christian Fel- lowship to go forward"
 Addressed to the nations 5000 Congregational churches, the report said that "the world today needs the historic Congregational Christian emphasis on liberty and democracy under God"
 We are aware of the need for better churchmanship all along the line," the committee said. "This en- tails greater knowledge and per- spective for all deeper appreciation of our own inheritance of freedom and the determination to pass these on to all whom we may reach"
 To this end, the committee plead ed for the realization of the "strate- gic necessity" for a complete pro- gram of Christian education for children, young people and adults.
 This" it said, may involve the reconstruction of some established church school practcies, but here we must be eager and anxious to devise more adequate means and to pay the price of progress.

 MILITARY CALL
New Registrants lS.l0 to Be Held in Reserve Until
 2Oth Birthday

Young men who "sgister for Se- lective Service in the fifth registra- ton next Tuesday will be called up in turn for duty as they reach the age of 20, according to word from Washington. The men will be as- signed serial and order numbers on the basis of their birth dates, no lottery being planned for assign- ment of their numbers.
 Tuesdays registration will be for young men of IS, 19 and 20, with only those in the 2O-year group slated for combat duty.
 The names of those whose birth date is Jan. 1, 1922, will be placed on top and they will be given Serial No. N-l. Those born Jan. 3, 1922, will be second in order, and so on. As those of IS and 19 reach the age of 20, they will be assigned numbers.
 The young men will have their numbers placed at the end of the order number lists for their boards, but will be subject to call ahead of many of those with order numbers ahead of them.
 No classification of the l8-1o age group is planned at this time. Inc stead, their classification will be de- layed until they reach the age of 20.
 The local registration will take from 2 a. m. to g p. m. at the alder manic chamber in the city hall on Tuesday. Volunteers will serve as registrars.
 It IS estimated that 1000 youths in the 1920 age group will register for Selective Service Tuesday.
