"MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING."
Said to Have Been Reached By Lithu
ania and Soviet Russia.
1 Moscow. July 11 (By the Associated
Press). Lithuania and the- soviet gov
ernment of Russia have reached an
agreement relative to the establish
ment of peace, said Adolf JofTe, repre
sentative of the soviet government in
the negotiations, to-day. He said this
agreement included an understanding
a to boundaries and indemnity and
that Russia recognized Lithuania's
rights to Vilna. Kovno and Grodno, as
well as parts of the provinces of Grod
no, whien are etnnograpnicauy unnu
anian.
"This mutual understanding," he
said, "was accelerated by reverses suf
fered by the Polish forces. The Lithu
aniens are assured of protection
against aggression and have modified
their original demands. Russia will
not interfere in boundary disputes in
volving the Polish, Letvian or Ger
man frontier.
"An early settlement of the negoti
ations pending between the soviet gov
ernment and Letvia is prevented by the
fact that the Letvian ministry does not
have the support' of a majority in par
liament, but we have agreed with the
Letvian request that conversations be
continued nt Riga, from which city the
delegates will return to Moscow for
final deliberations and signing of the
treaty."
Asked regarding rumors concerning a
possible Polish peace offer, M. Joffe re
plied that present indications were that
a satisfactory peace could be signed
only in Warsaw.
"While socialists desire peace, he
continued, "it is hardly possible their
terms at the present stage of the war
would be acceptable. Polish socialists
have always stood for the historical
boundaries of that country based on
the statutes of 1772, while the national
democrats have favored a less Imperial
istic policy.' Russia does not desire an
nexation of Polish territory, but at the
same time admits of no historical or
strategic pretensions in negotiations
with neighboring states. An essential
condition to any peace must be the ter
ritorial integrity of white Russia,
which occupies the same position as
Ukraine and will be accorded the right
of autonomy if it is demanded by a
majority of the population. Identical
conditions apply to the Rtithenians."
JOB FOR "SKY COPS." .
To Keep Sandy Hook Course Free of
Air Machines.
New York. July 12. The America's
cup races off Sandy Hook this month
promise to solve the question of ""Why
are isew lorKs "sky cope'T"
Ever since the police department's
aviation division was formed humor
ists have portrayed duties which might
be, but which never will be performed
by the bluecoated aviators. Now, how
ever, with giant sloops resuming theii
racing, after partial interruption, the
"sky cops ' find a task at hand that
of keeping the course free from air
craft.
During the trails' between Shamrock
IV. and the 23-meter Shamrock, which
have been held almost daily Off the
Jersey shore, airplanes have followed
in the wake of the yachts like gulls
Judging from the interest taken in the
trials by aeronauts, yachtsmen fear
that the sky will be dark with planes
- . A 1 . J - C .t. - -
vii vno uays in ino race.
It is almost certain that seaplanes
and landplanes within flying distance
of New York and this" is no mean
distance will buzz Hookwards when
Shamrock IV meets Resolute. Kven a
dirigible now and then may be ex
pected to stock its gaseous prow over
the course. Uith development of air
craft during the war, yacht chasing
promises to become a popular sport.
Indeed, planes are digging onto the
business of tugs and .launches which
have always transported a great part
of New York's population to Jersey
waters on the days of the races. Own
ers of private planes are booking pas
sengers at rates which make even the
tugmen look aghast.
Truth to tell, yachtmen are becom
ing just a little worried. It is not that
they tear so much a plaife will crash
down on the deck of racing craft as
that they may cluster in such groups as
t play pranks with the air and rob
vigilant, wind-chasing skipper of an
experience acmiirod throuph year.
And it is right here that the "sky
cops" may have their duty to perform.
Direction of traffic at several thousand
feet promises this year to be an inter
esting side-light of the big show. ,
PREDICTS WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
As a Near Likelihood for Mexico Par
tial Suffrage Already.
Mexico City, July 12. Woman suf
frage in Mexico in the near future was
predicted by Provisional President
Adolfo de la Huerta at a conference
with the teacher and students of a
woman's school here, according to El
Democrats.
The young woman, who to-day votes
for the directress of her school, to-morrow
will vote for her public officers,
the provisional president is quoted as
having told the delegation, which
called on him for permission to select a
head for the school in case the pres
ent directress waa removed.
The request made by the young wom
en showed that Mexico's womanhood is
beginning to prepare for the ballot,
Senor de la Huerta said. He granted
the privilege asked for on condition
that the women would choose from a
list of three names that he would sub
mit to them.

LYNCHED MEDIUMS THEN.
Life Imprisonment for Man Who Said
He Returned from Dead.
They had a rough and ready way of
dealing with Spiritualists in the 18th
century. An act was placed on the stat
ute book in the reign of Queen Mary
which made it a capital offense- for any
person "to propose to hold communica
tions with the dead," and later the
penalty for such an offeiiM waa made
burning at the stake.
In 1520 a man named Edward Barber,
who lived at Ongar in Essex, was or
dered by a local magistrate to be put in
the stocks for three days, and subse
quently to stand for trial for pretend
ing that he had received messages from
a dead person, and "for telling divers
persons that he had done so."
This luckless Spiritualist, however,
was never sent for trial, as on the last
night of his confinement in the stocks
he was burned to death by soma of the
villagers.
In the reign of Queen Anne a man
named Prothero was sentenced to im
prisonment for life for writing a pam
phlet proving that communication with
the desd wis possible; and even so late
a the reign of George I there are rec
ords of severe punishments beir.g in
flicted on people who professed that
they had received messages from the
dead.
In the reigr. of James I a Hutch 't
chant named Kolep. living in I .mi n.
was sent to the tower for alleging thst
during a bad illness he had actually
died and that his soul had paed for
two hours to the world beyond, when
it returned to his body.
Kolep .was deprived of all his prop
erty and was sentenced to imprison
ment for life. He escaped from prison,
however, and manav4 to make his
way back to his native country, where
he afterwards published a hook eiiug

Wake Up!
If Soviet Government Should Be Set
Up in England, Says Churchill.
London, Jul v 12. The Russian so
viet government, through Nikolai Len
ine, seeks "to start the British nation
off on that name career of revolution
ary violence which has made Russia
such a jolly pla to live in," Winston
Churchill, minister of war, declared in
an article published in the Evening
News, answering a report by a British
labor delegation which visited Russia
and a letter directed to the British
people by Lenine.
Should the soviet system be eatab-
ished in England the war minister be
ieves that not only would freedom of
he press and freedom of thought be
swept away, but the Knglish labor
leaders themselves would "share the
fate of Kerensky, the mensheviks and
social revolutionaries in Russia.
The war minister charged Lenine
with having ruined his own countrv
and said it was natural he should wish
to have all other nations reduced to
the same level of misery, in order thst
his own carnage may "be covered in
the general chaos," wrote Mr. Church
ill.
"Russia was on the threshold of vic
tory. After all her struggles she was
within reach of the goal The Germans
sent in Lenine, as poison gas is sent
sealed in a cylinder and he robbed her
of the victory shad had all but won and
which she might have shared with us.
"A million Germans, released by his
act of treachery, were let loos on the
French and British fronts and nearly
that number of British and French
soldiers are dead or mutilated in con
sequence. Instead of victory he gave
Russia shame and immeasurable dis
aster. "Lenine destroyed the Russian re
public. He dissolved the Russian par
liament. He had the bulk of its mem
bers hunted down and killed. He has
robbed hia country of victory, peace
and freedom; and what has he given
them in exchange?
Russia, ths great good producing can
ter of the world, wracked with famine;"
the towns depopulated to half their
numbers; the workmen scattered, de
stroyed and the rest cowed or demor
alized; hundreds of thousands of peo
ple driven to the woods and mountains
to form 'Green Guards' like Robin
Hood in the middle ages; the rail
ways on which the whole economic
civilisation of thee great regions de
pend, sinking hopelessly into absolute
staenstion.
Only the peasant with his rifle ia
his villstre guards the hard won prod
uce of his individual toil, refuses to
ell the fruit of his labor for worth
ies pi, per money and keeps alive the
old Russian love of hearth and home.
"The ejroism of the peasants,' ssys Len
ine. 'must now be broken."
"This, then, ia the msn whom the
crazy portion of the socialist party has
been worshipping. He has now re
veaW his measure and his mentality
to the British public and he appeal to
thrm to create in Britain that en-!
slmed, Marring and venomous Bed

and mighty Russian state and nation.

DEMANDS PENDING
NEARLY A YEAR
PEW SAND GLASSES
KEPT CORRECT TIME
Writer Who Has Made Tests Finds
Many of Them Lacking in
Accuracy. ,
Housewives in these days very com
monly use sand glasses of the familiar
hour glass pattern for timing boiled
eggs. They are employed for the same
purpose in many restaurant and hotel
kitchens.
The contrivance is, of course, quite
ancient, dating back to tho middle ages.
In much later times, and not so very
long ago, it was utilized for timing
prayers and sermons. Even nowadays
there is , an occasional old-fashioned
church that keeps a "prsyer-glast" on
the pulpit.
As one might imagine, such glasses
were not beyond criticism in point of
accuracy. Four of them were carefully
tested recently by the writer. One sup
posed to mark an even hour took 07
minutes to run out a serious error for
the congregation if the sermon wn
dry. Another, for three-quarters of an
hour, registered only 42 minutes. The
remaining two were, respectively', un-
dertimed and overtimed two minutes.
The sand glass, in European coun
tries, replaced the yet more antiquated
"time candle," which was marked off
in sections of an hour. As a time
keeper, the candle is exceedingly an
cient; it was so employed in Rome be
tore Christ was born, and very likely
by the Egyptians and Babylonians in
much earlier days. Courting by lensrth
of candles was an old-fashioned cus
tom in England.
An equivalent method of time-keep
ing is even now practiced by the Chi
nese, who employ, instead of a candle, a
length of ioee-itick the same thing
that American small boys use as
'punk" for setting off firecracker. It
ia made or sawdust, mixed with
little glue and rolled into cylinders of
a measured diameter. Such a stick, two
feet long and marked for the hours,
lasts half a day, being consumed slow
ly without flame.
Messengers in China, ha vine but short
periods to sleep, make sure of waking
oy placing a lighted piece of joss stick
oetween tneir toes. Ihia acts most ef

EVADING THEIR TAXES.
Oklahoma Men Forming Corporations
and Avoiding Income Tax.
Oklahoma City, Okla., July 12.
Frank C. Carter, state auditor, says
that evasion of the personal income
tax law by the formation of corpora
tions costs Oklahoma hundreds of thou
ands of dollars a year. At the next ses
sion of the legislsture, Mr. Carter
states, efforts will be made to amend
the tax law to make corporations pay
taxes upon their earnings.
"When a man's business begins to
thrive so that he has to pay a big sum
for income tax to the state, he takes in
his wife and one of his employes and
forms corporation," Mr. Carter de
clares. "The next year the corporation
does not declare a dividend and there
is no record to show what i the per
sonal income of the stockholders. The
stockholder could be prosecuted for
emliewlement If he should be detected
using the undivided profits for his per
sonal needs, but it is hard to discover
him. The only remedy for the state is
to amend the law so as to tax the
earnings of corporations."

RENT LAWS INEFFECTIVE.
Profiteering Landlords Still Operating
in New Yorlc City.
New (York, July 12. The new state
rent lawa are ineffective and have not
deterred profiteering landlords from
continuing rent gouging assaults on
thousands of tenants in New York
City, according to Leo Kenneth Mayer,
chief counsel for the mayor's commit
tee on rent profiteering.
The landlords are adopting diverse
methods to circumvent the new laws,
Mr. Msyer declared, and have been suc
cessful to a certain extent.
The three chief dodges employed by
the landlords as outlined by Counsel
Mayer are to:
Notify tenants that their leases will
not be renewed unless they are willing
to pay exorbitant rentals. If they re
fuse to meet this increase the tenants
are then ousted by due process of tha
law.
Notify tenants that the premises
have been told on the co-operative plan
but offer to tell them .the apartment
if they will pay the exorbitant sum
asked.
Show a higher valuation on their
property by inter-transfer of property
through alleged sales and thus be able
to extract a higher rental.
The first method, according to Mr.
Muhcr, ia the most popular but is rath
er slow at it takes from one month to
one year to legally evict a tenant.
The co-operative selling plan, he d
clared, was one of tha new inventions
of the landlords to exploit the ten
ant.
The transferring of property on the
pretunse of making a bona fide sale
and thus increasing the valuation of
the premises is one of the latest
dodges, Mr. Mayer explained. By this
method tho landlord "sells" to a rela
tive or buainess partner, then "buys"
the property back again and thus runs
up the valuation, which will command
a higher rental under the state laws.
The entire legal staff of the rent
committee has been placed at the dis
nosal of tenants in their flffht airainst
the rent profiteer. Landlords, who are
inclined to be fair are meeting their
tenants in the offices of tha committee
and are arranging new leases with their
tenants on definite terms.
The rent committee, which haa been
in operation for 15 months, has handled
more than 80,000 cases of which 62,000
have been settled in and out of court.
Of the remaining cases, 8,000 are list
ed as hopeless and no settlement is
possible.
There is a constant flood of com
plaints into the committee's office,
which is visited by about 6,000 ten
ants every week.
The committee's office staff of seven,
according to Mr. Mayer,' handles more
than 2,000 complaints by mail dally be
sides from 250 to 300 telephone calls.
The committee, which is maintained
as a municipal department, ia making
an investigation of these claims and
furnishing legal talent free of charge
to all worthy cases.

AN ANNAMITE TEMPLE.
They Present a "Lamentable Picture,"
Says Red Cress Report.
Geneva, July 12. The condition of
the hospitals in Hungary is described
as "a lamentable picture which should
command universal attention and great
pity," in a report to the international
committee of the Red Cross here.
After a recent trip across Hungary,
Captain Bumier of Geneva, delegate of
the international committee, told of
conditions as he found them in the va-
ious towns.
"At Ssolnok," Captain Burnier said,
"the epidemic hospital has been com
pletely ravaged by the Romanians.
There is not even a glass in the win
dow. The Comitat hospital is abso
lutely without medicine, the sick ara
not aneathetited for operations.
"At Debrecsen the childrens' deaf
and dumb asylum totally lacks linen
and shoes. The children of the muni
cipsl asvlum are dressed in paper
clothes. " There are 80 beds for 120
children and many 13-month-old ba
bies weigh only four kilograms (about
nine pounds!, the town hospital which
has 400 beds has no linen, no blankets,
no medicines. There were left only two
half spools of surgical thread with
which to sew wounds. The maternity
hospital and gynecological clinics have
nothing at all.
"At Nyiregyhaxa the Comitat hos
pital has no linen for the sick, no
medicine, no comforts to wrap babiea
in. The bandages and dressing must
be used over and over again." Sim
ilar conditions were reported in several
her Tilare.
"The penury increases dailv and no
effort until now haa been sufficient to
re-establish a normal situation, cap
tain Burnier added.
"Kuch ia the lamentable picture
which presents itself at this hour and
which should commsnd universal at
tention on the great pity of the hopi
tala of Hungary."
Yellowstone National Park's Phenom
ena Are in Great Brilliance.
Interesting changes have developed
thia year In the natural wonders of
Yellowstone National parlc. Led by
Old Faithful geyser, which has short
ened the interval of its performances
by almost A quart of an hour and is
now playing every 64 minutes, the gey
sers and hot springs are on their best .
behavior, promising a season or un
surpassed beauty, as if mindful that
the number of visitors is expected ,to
exceed 100,000 for the first time in the
history of the park.
Unusual depth pf Snow during the"
winter, followed by a rainy spring, is
believed to be responsible for tha bril
liance of the natural phenomena. Abun
dant moisture has bsen stored in the
underground passages feeding the gey-!
sers and springs to enable them to ex
cel all their previous exhibitions.
The Urand haa become the park s
most powerful geyser. It Is playing
once or twice each day and for JO toj
30 minutes affords a magnificent spec
tacle of a fountain of steaming water
200 feet in height, which is succeeded
by five to 12 distinct eruptions. Giant
and Giantess have been giving fine ex
hibitions. Constant has disoontinued
operations, its activity apparently
transferred to tha Whirligig, directly
across the footpath. Mud Broiler has
changed iti tactics and ia discharging
water that ia almost clear. Scores of
smaller geysers are constantly in ac
tion and of course Old Faithful, which
attains a height of 123 to 170 feet, is
observed hourly by persons from all
parts of the world, as in former years..
At Mammoth Hot Springs, the head
quarters of the park administration,
the terraces are a marvel of gorgeous
coloring, where the hot water ripples
over the unique formations. With the
single exception of Minerva terrace,
which is less splendid than in past
years, all of the terraces are perform
ing in great volume. Cleopatra appar
ently is trying to make up for Miner
va's deficiency by starting a new chan
nel, where the coloring changes daily.
Juniter. for manv vnara tha finest of
all the te traces, has lost his leadership,
being surpass by the prosaically
named Pulpit terrace, which is sending
more water than ever from its sap
phire pool over a series of beautifully
curved basins, fretted and colored like
some old Gothic carving, until more 1
than 200 feet below a conduit is reached
which takes the warm waters from all
the springs into the open-air bathing
pool.
Hymen terrace is attracting great
attention because of the abundance and
exquisite shape of the algse, or micro
scopic plants, which give the terraces
their color. Nowhere else in the park
are to be found such graceful forma
tions, floating in the water like ostrich
plumes of delicate green. Angel terrace
has developed a rich pink coloring,
much lika a birthday cake, a resem
blance enhanced by the trees which the
growing terrace reached out and killed
and which now stick out through the
crust like white candle.
Does the
Shoe
Fit?
If it does not, yon
soon know it. Good
looks, alone, will not
make you long
friendly with any
shoe. You like a shoe
best when you don't
have to think about
it at all. It takes
comfort to make you
forget your feet.
A pair of Regal
shoes will convince
you that they have
comfort built into
them; they fit. Well
be careful to give you
the right last, and
that will end shoe
troubles for you.
