Vanderlip Remain Contingent Upon the Deposit of a Forfeit. Paris, June 12.—(By The A. P.)—Rus- wia's np!fl reconstruction under Lenine’s new polity of co-operation with the cap- italists i3 assured by the self-interest of both parties, declared Leonid Xrassin, Russian Soviet minister of commerce @nd trade, in a Ngned interview given the London correspondent of The Petit Parisien today. Krassin sald the hunger of the capitalists for Russia’s natural riches would obtain their aid and the sbsolute .need of directing ability by the soviets would guarantee the pro- tection of foreign interests. The soxiet government asserted that foreign purfhase contracts placed by Russia amounted to £5,000,000 in Great Britain’s 50,000,000 crowns in Sweden. 9.000.000,0000 marks in Germany and £10,000,000 in the United States, “But our gold reserves have a limit,” he ade- ed, and as our exports still are negligi- 1le we must resort to concessions, which only one, that with the Svenska Kugel- lager Fabrik, has been signed, but others sre pending. Krassin asserted that the concessions ohtained b Vashington B. Vanderlip of California was dependent upon the deposit of forfeit, which has not yet been received. “Scon a great international consorti- am will be formed to exploit our riches.” Krassin went on, “and its activities will enable the soviets to conquer their pres- ent terrible difficulties by restoring con- tent in th ecottages. The capitalists are assured -of the soviets' good faith, be- cause the soviets never have wronged the working under agreements with them, and if the soviets are overthrown their successors will be less radical and will protect the capitalists. But prin- cipally because the soviets need the cap- italists they would not interfere or con- fiscate, because what they want is not machines, but the men Wwho can make them go.” The soviet minister said he had no doubt of Lenine's ability to execute his new policy, but,that success depended somewhat on the crops. He declared the soviets had the advantage in owning nothing abroad. ; “As to the internal debt, it will liquid- ate itself,” Krassin said. “We will print enough bank notes so that money mno longer will be taken seriously. Then the people themselves will destroy this mass of walueless paper and the situation will be cleared.” Krassin reiterated that Lenine never had pretended Soviet Russia could live alone, but hoped for a world revolution which he now believes will come in the indefinite future. _— 4I8T ANNUAL A.

The Daily News declares that it takes no pleasure iy any phase of the incident, “The admiral's speeches seem to be as mischievous and indefensible,” says the News,. “Their effect in this country and Ireland is deplorable and the reprecus- sion in America is to the highest else but what it has done, though it might perhaps have done it with a thought less truculent. The only good feature of the whole affair is the possibility that it may serve as a warning of extreme caution, which it is imperatively publi¢ officials, both British and Amenican, should dis- play in déaling with the Irish question.” The Daily BExpress under the caption “The man who s not afraid to speak,” ascribes the recall of Admiral Sims to the clamor of pro-Sinn Fein voters, and sa; Admiral Sims adds to his popularity 1 among the remaining eighty per cent. of honest-to-God Americans. He has been reprimanded before for attempting te promote good foNni between ‘the coun- tries, and we hope he will be agzal Knowing him as we do and aware of the fact that his views are those of the majority we belleve shet he will do .t again. And so we wish him godspeed.” CLASS HATRED CONDEMNED BY CHANCELLOE DAY Syracuse, N. Y. June 12.—Condemn- ation of class hatred featured the bace calaureate sermon delivered today by Dr, James Roscoe Day, who last week resigned the chancellorship of Syracuse University. “There is no trouble with the’ people until the idle agitator comes among them to teach them that the prosperous have stolen what they have trom the less prosperous,” Chancellor Day. sald, “The logic of which is that the poor are poor because they have not had a square chance to steal from their neighbors, “There is nothing more flattering to a man than to tell him that his failures in life are not due to himself but to others or to a wrong condition and econ- omy among his fellow-men. It is flat- tering, but it is false and fatal. Wherever it hag been reduced to practice it has strewn its path with mire. “The greatest teacher who ever ap- peared on earth taught the doctrine of the differing talents, and that the anan of one was as sacredly responsible for it as the man of five was for them.

Athens, June (By: The A. P.) King Constantine] before sailing Satur- day afternoon for Smyrna to direct the Greek operations against the Turkish nationalists in Asia Minor, issued a message to the Greek people in which he he predicted that success would crown the efforts of the Greek army. The mess- age said: “I go to place myself at the head of my army. Where Hellenism has strug- gled for centuries, with the aid of the All Highest, victory will crown the ef- forts of our race, which is advancing irresistiby towards its destiny. Our pre- dominance in those regions, as did for- merly that of our forefathers, will en- sure realization of our highest ideals of liberty, equality and justice. The history of our race guides our arms and this admirable history of civilization lays on us obligations of which we pro- foundly are conscious; and we further are able to proclaim proudly that we will be fully able to discharge them. The Greek people in its sacred unfon confers this right on us by its incom- parable sacrifices. ; “Trusting in Divine assistance, in the dash of my heroic army and the uncon- querahle moral force of Hellenic ideals, I go where the accomplishment of these supreme national aspirations ealls me.” AN ENTNUSIASTIC GREETING FOR KING CONSTANTINE Smyrna, June 12—By The A. P.) King Constantine arrived here this af- ternoon and was greeted enthusiasticall, although the ardor of the crowds was not as great as at Athens. The allied warships had left the harbor in order to avoid saluting the king.

After the ceremonies the king was taken to a private villa outside the city where he vill remain for a few days be- fore going to the front. TWELVE PERSONS NAMED IN KABER MURDER CASE Cleveland, O., June 12.—Twelve per- sons have been named in connection with the murder of Daniel F. Kaber, stabbed to death two years ago, for which crime Mrs. Eva Catherine Kaber. his wife; Miss Marian McArdle, his step-daughter, and Mrs. Mary Brichel, 69 vears old, his mather-in-law, are under indictment, it became known tonight, following grilling by County Prosecutor Edward C. Stanton and Chief of Police Frank W. Smith of Mrs. Kaber, Mrs. Brickel and seven sus- pects. Other developments, the authorities say, were that four d assassins were in the party which inflicted the twenty- four stab wounds in Kaber's abdomen, and that $500, part of a stipulated sum alleged to have been promised by Mrs. Kaber for the assassination of her hus- band, had been paid. The questioning. which began this af- ternoon and was still in progress late to- night, was expected to clear up the last details of the intricate plot through which Kaber was murdered, to result in further indictments. Prosecutor Stanton and Chief Smith declared they had obtained admissions from a midwife arrested in Sandusky, several days ago, that a $500 bill had been paid to her by another woman, a fortune teller, who is alleged to have acted as ‘‘go-ebtween.” The $500, according to the alleged con- fession, was paid to the midwife after she had called Mrs. Kaber on the tele- phone and told her that the men were getting impatient and that she feared she might be killed if they were not paid. Mrs. Ethel Burman, who before Dan Kaber's murder had been a friend of Mrs. Kaber, and who afterward continued the acquaintanceship and furnished in- vestigators with invaluable evidence, was present at the conference. Her disclos- pres already had given authorities the information that an envelope containing $500 had been left with the fortune tellet ‘when Mrs. Kaber left for New York after the murder. ! ‘When the fortune teller was confronted with Mrs. Burman she at first denied any knowledge of the money, and that she had never seen Mrs. Burman, the authorities say, but later admitted she had seen Mrs. Burman with Mrs. Kaber and admitted having handled an en- velope. The midwi®e amplified her story and also admitted, the police say, that she called Mrs. Kaber on the telephone and told her that the men were getting anx- | ious for their money. There were four of these, she said, and she supplied thair names. Two were lookouts and two wen. iaside the house, according to her story to the poTice. Mrs. Kaber told her, the police say she in- formed them, that the money would be paid as soon as the estate was setfled. Mrs. Kaber, when confronted by Mrs. Burman aad questioned as to the dis- closures the latter made, denied them in practically, every detail. She also denied some of the admissions which she is said to have made to Chief of Police Peter S. Christensen. of Lakewood, in New York. A man held for several days under ssupicion of being the “man with the cap” was released by the police today. Another man under arrest admitted, po- lice say, that Mrs. Kaber offered him an automobile if he would use it “to run over Dan Kaber™ This he refused to do, he told the police, but admitted, they say, that he introduced Mrs. Kaber to the midwife, with whom, the plot later was framed.
