A Petrograd woman has been arrest ed for carrying around American fash Ion pictures, probably because the po lice thought they were cartoons of Russia's lack of clothing.

Recent state- incuts appearing in the press throughout the country to the effect that some of the veterans who were exposed to war gas are now losing their voices, are causing considerable uneasiness in the minds of ex-service men. "As a result of the general publi cation of this misinformation the United States veterans' bureau .is in receipt of numerous inquiries from such veterans as to the correctness of this story." says a statement from the ofiice of Director Forbes. The bureau made public the following from Col. Robert U. Patterson, assistant direc tor in charge of the medical division: TO 9Wmv Uncle Sam Can't Seem to See Russia X7IIILi: the senate debated the Horah resolution for recogni tion of the Russian soviet government. It was made clear at the Wldte House that the United States is contemplat ing at the present time no change in its policy toward Russia. Statements from authoritative sources not only denied recurrent re ports that the United States was con sidering entering into trade negotia tions with Russia, but also declared that this government has no intention of calling an economic conference in Washington to consider measures of assistance to luroie, with Russia as the crux of the discussion, as was the case at Genoa. The Harding administration, it was stated. Intends to stand pat on its determination to steer clear of Euro pean economic ailments. Officials make it clear that there Is no Intention of closing eyes and ears to the European situation. This gov ernment will listen attentively to any proposals the allies may make, but it will act on them with extreme cau tion. Senator Edge of New Jersey went after the Horah soviet recognition resolution when it came up in the senate.

The plan takes into account the present wide use of arbitration in this country, and contemplates making it more general by extending it among business organizations making up the national chamber's membership. As sent to all member organizations, the plan carries suggestions for setting up arbitration machinery and a statement of the services which the national chamber can render to organization memlers supplemental to their own efforts, both in domestic and foreign commerce. .

Refusal by Rritish consular officials to issue passports, exvpt in cases of special necessity, to Rritish subjects in this country who have taken the lirst step toward American citizenship, even though two years must elapse 1-oforo they can be naturalized, has called attention to the predicament of declarant. especially since the re peal two years ago of the act of March 2, r.x7, which granted the . secretary of state authority in his discretion to Issue passports "to persons not citi zens of the United States" who had declared their intention to become citizens and had resided for three years in this country.

As a result of these studies the fol lowing conclusions have been drawn. "As to the occurrence of respira tory troubles resulting from exposure to gases, there Is little evidence to show that gas played a conspicuous role In this connection. It is doubt ful if the Incidence of these diseases among ex-service men is really greater than among those who were not gassed. "Those who develop respiratory troubles at this late date since their discharge have no basis for claims that their disabilities were the result of their war experiences. Such dis abilities would probably have devel oped if they had never been in the service at all. If a year or so elapses from the time of gassing until symp toms develop. It Is quite probable that gas had nothing to do with the mat ter, provided t tint the lungs of such claimants were clear at the time of discharge. NO ! States, as I interpret It." he said, "is built upon the principles of liberty and protection of property rights. While I recognize the right of any na tion to establish its own government. I object decidedly to America's recog nition of that government if it de stroys the fundamental and bedrock principle upon which our own govern- mer is founded. "The fundamental principle of Amer ican government , has been the protec tion of American interests under any Hag In the world, and how are we to protect American interests in a coun try whose government lirst refuses to recognize an American loan made to the government ' the present soviet regime succeeded and then positive ly asserts that property rights and protection form no part of their ritual?" to Settle Disputes proposed would consist of settlement of local controversies !y local com mercial bodies; of settlement of dis putes within an industry by trade as sociations and of the handling by the national chamber of cases that do not fall within local or trade jurisdiction. The national chamber already has pro vided machinery for handling dis putes that may come to it. The plan provides, aside from arbi tration, for the use of good offices on the part of business organizations as a means of settling differences wher ever possible by conciliation without resort to arbitration. Attention is called to the advantage of arbitration over court procedure in a paragraph which says that it af fords a means for decision upon the merits of :i business transaction as it is understood by business men. There is no chance for the result to turn upon some technicality :r rule of which neither party had thought. A conclusion can be readied sjieedily, because there is no opportunity for dilatory proceedings and the case does not have to take Its turn on a long list of other cases.
