ary INGRATITUDE SEEN ~ INSOVIET OFFER Demand for Archangel In- demnity, After Aid to Starv- ing, Stirs U. S. Ire. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Diplomatic relations between the United States government and the soviet government of Russia are far from being resumed. The controversy which has been going on with reference to the au- thenticity of the documents urging the followers of the third interna- tionale to arise and put “the red flag on the White House” is only a part of the problem. The fact that the Russians seem so exercised over Secretary Hughes' disclosures s in- teresting enough, but officials do not observe the soviets disavowing the third internationale or denouncing the doctrines which have been the basis of soviet propaganda in the ‘ United States. Judging by the comments which the episode has brought out, the public, has missed one point that has not failed to arouse indignation in inner circles here. It relat.s to the Russian offer to recognize certain debts due America since the czar's regime. On its face the suggestion seemed as if the Russians were beg'nning to meet the American govern aent half Wway, but coupled with their offer is @ demand that the United States reciprocate by paying damages for the occupation of Russian territory both in Siberla and in th. Bochil e Archangel ‘Would Caneel BiiL The Russlans have been figuring it out that for American consumption they would recognize the war debt, but would turn around and In the me offer demand enough for the upation of Russian territory to offset the amount of that debt and in effect cancel the bill What the United States = pany with the ales i oom allies attempted to in ‘the various Russian expeditions was to open up sparncocpeditions territory of Germany and to main. jun . blockade against Germany om_ all sides.

Words are in- teresting only as they are an index ©of policy or action. If the Russians do not believe in the distribution of bropaganda among American work- men urging them to_overthrow the government here, they can give testimony of "their good faith by squelching the activities of Russians in America who reccive their funds as well as their encourageme p el gement from Acts Will Prove Good Falth. If the Soviet government wishes to enter into diplomatic relations with the United States government, cer- taln acts will prove the eligibility of Russia to .be accepted in the family of nations once more, Objections are not raised so much as to the kind of government the Russlans have—that is an affair—but the United States con- siders it very much a matter of in- ternational jurisdiction if one nation stands back of propaganda which has for its object the overthrow of the government of another nation. There is in America a group of so- | called ‘liberals” who are criticizing the administration here for failing to recognize soviet Russia. There are @ few business men and promoters who are trying to persuade the Wash- ington government to make trade agreements with Russia. But there is no mation-wide opinion in favor of recogntion of the sovets so long as they feel it necessary to spread hos- tilc propaganda and plot to stir American workmen to revolt. That's the sum and substance of official thought here, and until Russia her- self shows signs of change the prob- | lem can be relegated to the calendar of unfinished business, which from the present outlook will - ished indefinitely. st EXPERTS IN MANY LINES TO CONFER ON RAILROADS Julius H.

W YORK, December 26.—Finan- cial operations of Lieut. Osborne C. Wood, son of Gov. Gen. Leonard Wood of the Philippines, who is re- ported to have accumulated a for- tune of between $700,000 and $800,- 000 in Wall street, were made the subject of a War Department inves- tigation, the New York Times said today. “It has been learned also, on the st of authority,” the Times said, the department found nothing whatever in the transactions of the young officer to call for censure, but that the department did strongly ad vise him to stop speculating at o and that communications on the sub- {ject passed between the department |and Maj. Gen. Wood, who directed his son and aide to put an end to all The ad- vice and the command were imme- diately responded to. “Lieut. Wood's financiering ceased at once.” Began in Fall of 1922. “‘Local investigation of the reports by the Times,” it says, “has disclosed that Lieut. Wood began making remittances to this country in the fall of 1922 and that these grew steadily, although at all times subject to the usual fluctua- tions of an active account. The funds, in the main, were cabled drafts pur- chased in the Manila office of the Hong- kong and Shanghai Bank, with in- structions that these funds be trans- mitted to the New York office of that {nstitution. On arrival here the New York branch of this bank paid the funds to the Chase National Bank, which, in turn, transferred them to the Central Trust Company of Chicago, where they were deposited in the name of and to the account of Osborne Wood. ““This year some remittances were made by Osborne Wood to his father- in-law, Henry B. Thompson, president of the United States Finishing Com- pany, 320 Broadway. * ¢ * Several months ago the account of Osborne Chicago was closed, and the accumu- lated féinds were retransferred to his father-in-law in New York and deposit- ed to his account in the National Park Bank, New York. This account, for- merly in the name of Mr. Thompson, acting for his son-in-law, was changed later to the name of Lieut. Wood. It has been reported to agsregate nor- although it has fluctuated considerably, running_as high as $280,000 and to as low as $150,000.” Thompson Makes Statement. Mr. Thompson is quoted by the Times as making the following state- ment, regarding his son-in-law’s finan- cial operation: “When in Manila last winter I learned that my son-in-law had made some money in fortunate’speculation, which permitted him t6 live in bet- ter style than was expected of a sec- ond lieutenant. ' I know, under my advice, he is entirely out of the mar- ket, and I hope he has hung on to his savings.” Hardened Wall street speculatdrs are inclined to the belief, the Times says, that Lieut. Wood must have fol- lowed the speculative method known as “pyramiding” or the purchasing of additional stock with the profits ac- cumulated on paper from a former purchase. This method is in dally, and often disastrous, practice, and frowned on by most conservative members of the New York Stock Ex- change, where the stock of the Stan- dard Oil Company of New Jersey, in which most of "Lieut. Wood's _fos tune #s believed to have been made, is traded in. Call Practice Hasardous, . Th ultimate result of such trading is the' building up "of a thinly buttressed pyramid, which e8 more precarious as prices advance because each profit, instead of going on the bottom to aid the foundation, increases the load on top. In this manner, with a small fortune and good luck, one can bulild up & fortune, provided that the stock continues to advance. Lieut. Wood, the Times says, is ‘believed .to have ‘‘caught” the be- g{nnlng of the socalled dividend mar- et in the fall of 1922, and happened THE EVENING 'STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

President Provides a Treat For Reed Hospital Patients Christmas Spirit Dominates in City the “Day After,” and Likely to Prevail Till New Year Dawns. Washington ke this morning after a joyous Christmas, rubbed its sleepy eyes and tried to go back to work, but neverthel imbued with a holiday spirit that will stretch out through the week until w Year day is over. Festivitles of the §White House, churches, homes, institutions and or- ganizations for the most part cen- tered about Christmas eve and yes- terday, but there will be a number of entertainments and festivities throughout the coming week. President Coolldge and family last night deserted the White House after an old-fashioned Christmas at church and at home and went to Walter Reed Hospital. where, through the courtesy of the President and co- operation of the producers, the new motion picture, “Abraham Lincoln,” was presented. The President had intended to view the picture at the White House, but its appropriate- ness as a subject for entertainment of the veterans caused him to change his plan, because of its Americani- zation value and the President's in- terest in the Lincoln subject, Mr. Coolkige has consented to ~write a tribute to Lincoln, which will be at- tached to a specially prepared copy of the film to be presented by the pro- ducers, Al and Ray Rockétt, to the government for preservation in the Smithsonian Institution. Greeted at the Howpital. President Coolldge was accompa- nied to Walter Reed by Mrs. Coolidge and their two sons, Calvin, jr., and John. They were greeted at the hos- pital by Col. James E. Glennan, com- mandant; Col. Willlam L. Kellar, chief of surgical service, and Mliss Margaret Lower, field director of the Red Cross, in whose buflding the entertainment was held. Besides viewing the pic- ture with the veterans, President and Mrs. Coolidge mingled with the boys, conversing _with them, wishing a merry Christmas to all, remained for a while during the opening of a dance and departed shortly before 11 o'clock. Earller in the day the wounded sol- diers themselves had given a Christ- mas party for children of the imme- diate neighborhood at the Red Cross building. Christmas Tree at Capitol. Wood in the Central Trust Company of | &1 Employes of the Capitol building— which includes all sorts of artisans, experts and men in practically every line of work that is to be found in any community—enjoyed a commu- nity Christmas there and Yuletide party yesterday. The electricians and shopmen rigged up a Christmas tree, while the wives of employes in all departments that are operated for the comfort and con- venience of members of Congress and to keep the wheels of federal ma- chinery working smoothly at the source of power and authority pre- pared sandwiches, cakes and other Christmas cheer. David Lynn, architect of the Capitol, who recently was appointed successor to the late Elllott Woods, and who is extremely popular with members of Congress and all who do business or work under the great dome of the Capitol, was presented with a valu- able leather bill fold, the speech being made by R. D. Holcomb, shop fore- man. Arthur F. Cook, chief assistant to the architect and who is directly in charge of the Capitol power plant, and Marcellus C. Shield and Kennedy Rea, respectively clerks of the House d’ Senate appropriations committees, also made speeches expressive of the good fellowship and seasonal feliei- tations that the community gathering felt. Children Entertained. About_thirty children, the major- ity of whom are year round residents of the American Children's Aid So- clety at 315 John Marshall place, yes- mally between $175,000 and $200,000, ) terday gathered about a large tree at to pick out the one stock whose ad- vance was most violent and con- sistent, ‘This was Standaré Ofl of New Jersey, whose directors in_the early fall of 1922 were laying plans for a stock dividend of 400 per cent, which they declared on October 11 of that year. In {ha late summer of that year the stock touched its low price of $1€9 a share. On September 1 it sold at 183, moving up to $188 two/ weeks ter. In the week of September 30 it crossed the $200 mark and between September 30 and October 11, it rose exactly fifty points to $250.50. Then it broke to $200. The new four-for- one stock now sells around $37 a share. WAR DEPARTMENT SILENT. Secretary Weeks Not Here to Com- ment on Speculations. In the absence ‘of Secretary Weeks, who is away over the Christmas holi- days, the War Department todsy withheld formal comment on the financial operations of Lieut. Osborne C. Wood, son and alde of Gov. Gen. s the Philippine nds, but it was indicated that the question never had been formally be- fore the department, and that noth- ing in the way of instructions or orders had been Issued dealing with it. Apparently Secretary Weeks some time ago was advised informally of Lieut. Wood's transactions and intl- mated through private channels, which would reach both Gen. Wood and his son, the feeling that continuance of speculative operations by the offi- cer might prove emba! § to Gen. Wood. So far as. be learned this was the only connection of the A : ‘ the institution and received presents from Santa Claus. While at the height of enjoyment over the gifts, they were interrupted by a big tur- key dinner. In addition to those small boys and girls who are cared for dally at the aid_society, several were called in from homes that could not provide the type of Christmas that every boy ,and gir) anticipates. The gociety receives its support from newspaper solicitors who in fact accept anything érom private resi- dents that can be converted into money. Leglion Greets Disabled Veterans. The District of Columbia Depart- ment, American Legion, assisted ma- terially in the Christmas joy of dis- abled "veterans in the hospitals of the city, checks having been forward- be used in the hospital celebrations nounced there had been a good re- Sponse to requests for contributions. Aside from the local hospitals, others receiving remembrances from the local department included the naval dispensary at the marine headquar- ters, Quantico: the hospital at Oteen, |N. C., and some hospitals in the west, especially in California and Arizona.

Christmas services were held the six commanderies of the Knights Templar at the Masonic Temple ves- terday, with tributes to the fraternity. to Christmas, the nation, and the President. The Christmas ritual was enacted. Almas Temple saw that twenty- two truckloads of Christmas baskets and presents were lodged in homes of needy families. More than 300 baskets, each containing 80 pounds of staple articles of food, together with canned goods, fruits, candles and cakes, composed the cargo of the trucks. In addition, fourteen institutions were provided with such things as would add to the comfort and happiness of the inmates. In dispensing Christmas cheer in this manner Almas Temple followed out its custom of several vears made possible by the unselfish work of the charity gommittee. This committee is composed of Andy Loffler, chair- man; Max Oppenheimer, secretary; Milton Hofenmaler, Herbert Guggen- heim, George M. Curtls, George W. Hess, George Plitt, A. J. Ginelly, George B.
