For every such person the recog- nized penalty is assassination. Not Seeking Martyrdom. Krassin, Litvinoff and their asso- clates are not seeking martyrdom. Moreo: they believe that Russia must establish trading relations with the rest of the world or pass through a further indefinite perfod of chaos and starvation. These Russian leaders have convinced Lloyd George and other British statesmen of their good faith. And British statesmen do not want those Russian leaders assassi- nated. Lloyd George and his advisers see no hqpe of bringing Russia back into the community of European nations within a measurable time without the assistance of those Russian lead- ers whom western statesmen have finally brought to acknowledge the soundness of western social and po- litical principles. In this fact lies the explanation of the patience shown by informed non- Russian public men toward the official pretensions of the bolshevist leaders. It is known that these pretensions are not to be taken at their face value and it is known that the bolshevist leaders are endeavoring by easy ELECTED TO HEAD N. E. A. J. C.

Japanese Contractor Alleged Vie- tim of Industrial Rivalry. Iiv Calle to The Star and Chicago Dally News. / Coprright, 1922, KOBE, Japan, July 22.—As show- ing the extent to which labor disputes and rivalrles are carried on here, sminago Kamekechi, a well known engineering contractor employing about 1,000 men, was waylaid and murdered in Hiogo last evening.

Germans in Same Situation. The present leaders of republican Germany are in much the same con- dition as are such Russians as Kras- sin and Litvinoff. They pursue what they believe to be sound policy in the face of the danger of assassina- tion. Dr. Rathenau, the late foreign minister, had no doubt that he would be assassinated. But he was resigned to that fate. Shortly before he was shot down he had a conversation with one of the higher officials in London. There was a hunted, fatalistic look in his eyes. “They will kill me,” he sald on leaving at the end of the interview. “Nevertheless I must do my duty.” With this same British official Krassin recently had a talk and in his eyes, I am told. was the same hunted, fatalistic look. “We have got our followers in the cities in a mood that makes settle- ment with the non-Russian world impossible,” Krassin asserted. “We must_endeavor to change this mood. Our difficulty is that we cannot make our people understand. If we pro- pose any practical course they sus- pect us of disloyalty to the revolu- tion, and for traitors to the revolu- tion they have only one law.” BARS GERMAN CONSULS.

CHICAGO, July 22.—The movies are setting the artistl, standard for the next generation—a standard which is *“‘too low, which suppresses and which does not give a spiritual uplifht”—according to Miss Harriet Monroe, editor of Poetry and cham- pion of what she admits is a some- what revoiutionary art. America, in fact, is in danger of drying up ‘spiritually—a condition naving no relation whatever to pro- hibition, Miss Monroe says. Amer- ica’s art is too cut and dried; there is no room for individual expression; it is e, Uike & suit of clothes, she believes. “The country is becoming too much standardized in everything,” sald Miss Monroe. ‘““What we need is room for the creative genlus of people to get to work. Everything is made to order for them now. “‘Of course, people in large cities have an opportunity to see a va- riety of art, but those in the small towns—why, they are left utterly without anything except the movies. And the movies are all made after the same pattern; they conform to a certain formula and they are not _ contributing what they shouid to and no one else for six months. If, after that time.there is neither mer- riage nor engagement, the unmatch- ed will draw again. “There seem to be more widows and widowers here in Hammonton in proportion to population than in any other city I know of,” declared Con- ley today. “And they all seem afraid of each other.
