' 26 LORDON HAY Y - NOSOVETEWOY 200 Members of Parliament . Oppose Appointment of ! Krassin’s Successor. BY JOHN GUNTHER. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. (Copyright. 1926.) LONDON, December 3.—Either M. Sokolnikoff or M. Rasolnikoff will suc- ceed Leonid Krassin as Soviet envoy to Great Britain, probably the most difficult diplomatic job in the world, the writer learned authoritatively to- day. Sokolnikoff is a well known finan- cier and trade expert and has been for 2 long time a member of the central Soviet committee on national econ- Rasolnikoff is more purely a s seen much service . Either is said to be ecceptable to the British government. May Be Break. Rumors that George Tchicherin him- ®elf might take the post apparently are discredited. Meanwhile, the pos- sibility definitely arises that there may be no new Soviet envoy at all. A pe- tition, already signed by 200 mem- bers of the Pritish Parliament, pro- testing against a new appointment, is gettinz under way. Flushed with the triumph of the re- | cent sensational cumpaigns, the Daily | Mail is throwing all its powerful influ- | ence against resumption of relations | between the two countries. Moscow Gave £150,000. “Why have one?” is the Dalily Mail's enswer to the question 'who will suc- ceed Krassin as envoy, “at least until the Soviets promise no longer to in- terfere with British trade in China, end no longer to spread propaganda | among the coal miners here?” The moderates in the British gov- ernment, however, are not likely to heed the campaign. With the coal strike over, Secretary A. J. Cook of | the Miner's Federation left for Mos- | cow today as a delegate to the All- Russia Trade Union Congress. Be- fore departing he revealed that Mos- cow contributed £150,000 to support the strike out of a total of £1,850,000 in contributions.

The 25th In- fantry (colored) heads the list, since, in addition to making 100 per cent quali- fication, 97.8 per cent of its machine gupners fired the course. The 57th Infantry (Philippine Scouts) and the 16th Infantry (white), in China, come next in proficiency with the machine gun. Of the entire personnel which fired rifle, 96.8 per cent ob- scores.
