TABOOING l FLAWING the Russian peoples is a menace NEIGHBOR I Ito world peace and economic stability, RUSSIA Senator Borah told the Administration from the Senate floor the other day, when he urged immediate recognition of the soviet government of Russia. He continued: “Sixteen nations are now doing business with Russia. The soviet government is respecting property and lives and it is doing business. There can be no real peace in Europe until Russia is given recognition. The soviet government has kept every contract it has made to date. The soviet regime has the support of the people. It has maintained law and order. It has withstood assaults from within and without for six years and put down three powerful invasions financed by outside interests.” To this argument, Senator Lodge, on behalf of the Administration, made the feeble reply that “the present government of Russia differs in no essential respect from the government Russia has always had. # * They have changed the despots, but the principles are the same.” He added that there were no assurances that Americans and their property would be safe in soviet Russia. The reply to Senator Lodge and the Administration is that hundreds of Americans are in soviet Russia today, moving about, evidently without fear of danger to their lives. Last year, in spite of the State Department's refusal to recognize the existence of a •.government in Russia, Americans did more * than $20,000,000 worth of business with that country. These figures are from the Department of Commerce, which says that trade with Russia is on the increase. The State Department apparently still sees nothing but red n Russia. It feels it cannot risk recognition of the soviet government. But there is no reason why this Government cannot resume trade relations through the Department of Commerce and at least give itself the opportunity to become informed on the progress the Russian people are making in their political and economic struggles. Great Britain has taken that first step, as hiue fifteen other nations. If our Government cannot accept Senator Borah’s suggestion to the extent of resuming diplomatic relations with Russia, it is high time that it at'least make some gestures of friendship for the Russian people. FUTURE T‘\ ATLROAD engineers, builders of vast indus- 1 TRAVEL trial empires, announce that the railroad line DREAMS JL which eventually will enable people to go by train from New York to Buenos Aires is 65 per cent completed. That’s a trip of 10,116 miles, and you can take a train over 6,500 miles of it now. Before this road is completed, the world may be selling its railroads to the junkman and hancHincr its passengers, express and freight by airship. Thar’s an ultimate certainty. It can’t come overnight. An airplane without a pilot has just made a flight of six hours and a half in France. A pilot was aboard for emergency, hut he didn’t touch the machinery. The plane was under perfect control from the eround. by rad'o. Within ten years you probably will see the sky doffed wit It such machines, crewless. guided so desfination by wireless waves. What will it lead tot In the distant future we see radio machinery doing the heavy work of life, controlled from central switchboards. Radio and airplane, row just getting out of the toy-stage, will revolutionize ways of living. HOKUM JjrnERE did the battle of Bunker Hill take IN 1/1/ place 1 Dow much will you bet." A historian HISTOR\ f 7 checked! up recently and found that the hat • tle was fought on Breed ‘s Hill, near Bunker Hill- The public got the two mixed, so the easiest way was taken-—the name Bunker Hill was transferred to Breed’s Hill. To considerable extent, Henry Ford was right when he referred to history as bunk. History is full of lies because it is colored for propaganda purposes by self-appointed censors.

And only one accident in 1921. Explosives haven't been made fool-proof. But the people who handle them exercise great caution. Nothing is really dangerous when we are careful. All accidents are due to some one’s carelessness.

Secret Service Agent Tells of Round- Up " of Most Gigantic Counterfeit Plot Known

BY AGENT “X”

Os the U. S. Secret Service NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—The bootlegger today is the surest clow to the counterfeiter. So booze and bootleggers and the bogus labels which bind them together in the great industry of illicit liquor were the original clews the Secret Service followed in a sevenmonths chase that has just uncovered the most gigantic counterfeiting conspiracy in history. I atn one of the men who worked in the special squad of 130 agents under Joseph .-V. Palma, chief of tiie Secret Service in Detroit, to trap twenty-eight ringleaders of the plot in New York. Nearly fifty mpre have been arrested in other cities, plates and dies and presses have been seized. t.OOO dupes of the conspirators are to he arrested in the round-up, and confiscations include ?1,000.000 in counterfeit money and ? 10.000,000 in bogus revenue stamps and liquor labels. Counterfeiting on Increase Prohibition has increased counterfeiting tremendously. There is more today than ever in history. When we started after this gang we knew the bootlegger would point the way. For prohibition created a new and huge crop of counterfeiters of liquor labels and revenue stamps for use on bootleg booze. During the past year there has been a glut in the bogus label market and prices have dropped. Result: “Graduates" of the school of label counterfeiters have gone into money counterfeiting. Yet there remains a brisk demand for liquor labels, and they have been turning on: fake money and fake labels at the same time. Two children were caught passing •ounterfeit money in Detroit. Thenparents gave a description of the man who gave them the bills. Chief Palma decided New York was the place to begin the hunt. Our mm did.two things first in New York. We took up a watch —twentyfour hours a day—on “whisky curbs’’ of New York. One place where hoot loggers gathered was in Broome St., in the shadow of police headquarters. Combed Records The other thing we did, in our ■ (Tice in the Custom House, was to •end -eportn by the thousand of for iner counterfeiting oases—and liquor abel cases. We read those reporis patiently and painstakingly; v.-“ steeped ourselves in them; we dug into them for casual tips, for the tiniest clews. Bootleggers. Rogtts booze labels.

AUTOS MAY TAKE i CAMEL'S PLACE IN SAHARA SANDS French Government Completes 1,800-Miie Journey Across Desert, By MIT,TON BRONXFR i NEA Service Staff Oorrospon lor.• y ON DON. Feb. 26.—Autos ma- - I .soon be displacing c.-mel cai , " —“ vans on the Sahara Desert. In an exp-nitron: conducted by F’renohmen, five U::!" cars completed the perilous 1,800-mUe Jourm y tc-apito shifting sands, -tnrnii a shortage of water and the difficult conformation of the country which has so long thwarted Europe's leading railway engineers. Ever nin e France became a great African colonial power she has sought a whv ,f linking tip its possessions i:i Algeria. Tunis and Morocco with its ri it equatorial regions along the Niger river. Ships do it. but they take a long time and. in case of war, are subject to the danger of submarines. Railway Is Dream A railway across the Sahara hna been dreamed of, but has remained a dream. So Andre Citroen, automobile I manufacturer, decided to take a chance on rti expedition across the . desert. The French government stood part of the expense. At the head of the expedition were Messrs. Haardt and Audoln-Dubreull, both ex perleneed autolsts. Five cars were fitted with caterpillar tracks in place, of rear wheels. They were painted spotless white, equipped with specially powerful enI gines and manned by experts. FoUowtxl Caravan The starting point was Touggourt j in tho Sahara where the French railway ends. From this place the expedition followed the well-known camel caravan routes across the desert to Timbuctoo. Every variety of Sahara territory wan crossed. There were not : ,mly the shifting sands, but there j wore sterile plains covered with huge I granite boulders and others covered with stones. In some places tho exj peditlon was in danger from wander- | ing nomadic tribes. One of the places ; crossed was the Tanesrouft—the country of d,Tc h. Nevertheless the party arrived safely at. Timbuctoo. the one-time mysterious city of the Niger. After resting there for about three weeks, the I leaders decided to travel back. REVOLVW HOLDS YOUTH !

“'Fear not, only believe.” Mark >:3C. Read Mark 5:21-43. “The world is not to be convinced and convened by reasoning or philosophy or eloquence, but by the love of Christians.” MEDITATION: Jesus' supremo power as a teacher lay in his ability to understand the human heart. Ho knew that fear clouds the mind, but that the “will to believe” opens all the windows of the soul. HYMN: Faith of our fathers, God's great power Shall win all nations unto thee: And through the truth that comes from God, Mankind shall then indeed be free; Faith of our fathers, holy faith, We shall be true lo thee till death.
