They found Dewey and Schiller perched on a wing! high and dry. The remainder of thej plane was submerged, A strong sea | was running, lashed by a southwest | wind.

Haskell, returning to the United States on the Homeric, is to make a,personal report to Secretary Hoover covering the details of the liquidation of the A. R. A. surope.

S, However, the most interesting in- formatien which Col. Haskell is con- veying to Washington concerns his opinions as to what sort of a relation- shop should be established between the Russian Communistic regime the United States, now that the A. R.

Favored Recognition. After the farewell banquet for'the A. R, A. officials in Moscow, to which the American newspaper correspond- ents were pot invited, the Russian press reported that Col. Haskell in a| post-prandial speech, favored Ameri- can recognition of the Soviet govern- ment, In passing through l.ondon ast week en route to New York he denied having made such a statement. Col. Haskell said that conditions throughout the country were steadily improving. Reports of famine this year he branded as falsehoods, esti- mating that Russia's wheat surplus in 19 would amount to 2,000,000 hushels, Whether Soviet transporta- tion could handle and export this amount, he was not prepared to say.

Tokio, Aug. 20.—It is believed here that the resignation of Baron Kato as| premier of Japan is imminent. While his condition is not dangerous, he is| a very ill man and it is believed im- | probable that he can bear the burden of office much longer. Now that the ratification of the Washington armament conference agreements on which Baron Kato has set his heart, has been completed an% the warships involved have been or- dered scrapped, it is believed that the | premier is ready to retire. Of late he | has been waiting only for the political leaders to choose his successor. Governbr Den of Formosa, and Gov- ernor Saito of Korea are among the favorites for premier. So far it has rnot been decided if the new premier ! will carry on with the present (':nlxlnt\li or whether that body will resign when Baron Kato does.

Munich, Aug. 20.—Germany's beer | production is less than half what it was in pre-war days. Last year there were only 83,000,000 hectoliters pro- duced as-against 70,000,000 hectoliters in the period immediately preceding | thd war. The beer Production for 19 roughly 871,000,000 gallons, or nearly 15 gallons for each inhabitant of the | German republic. Experienced bar- keepers manage to get eight glasses of beer out of every gallon, so that at that rate every inhabitant of Germany might have 120 glasses of beer last | year, or, roughly, one glass every three days. The brewers say the decline in beer consumption is due to the proverty of the public. Temperance workers say educational work as to the evil effects | of alcohol is responsible for much of | the decline in beer drinking, amll heauty doctors say the world-wide de- | sire of women to he slender in order | to wear prevailing fashions has made | women, especially young women, more abstemious. | In 1904 there were 442,000 persons was Her Name the photo.
