quoted as ruling that the taxes for
March and April must ba paia wunin
five days after May 13 and that no
extension would be granted. The de
partment added, however, that the
companies would not be expected to
comply with a recent decree of the
Carranza government almost doubling
the amount, but might pay the March
April assessment in accordance with
the tariff fixed for January and February.
The largest oil companies have not
paid the taxes, but neither their rep
resentatives nor the state depart

punitive action taken by the Mexican
authorities. ,

WASHINGTON', May 20 Aroused by
reports of the imprisonment and de
tention in soviet Russia of various
American citizens, the state depart
ment today took steps to bring to
bear indirect pressure on the bolshe
vik authorities to obtain their release.
A request has been addressed to the
Austrian government through the
American commissioner in Vienna,
asking that Hungarian communists,
detained aince their escape to Vienna
from Budapest last year and whose
release has been made the subject of
overtures by the bolsheviki, shall be
.refused release pending the freeing
of American, citizens detained in Rus
sia. Action by this government was
taken, it was said, as a. result of a
auggestion of another government and
was in accord with the views of other
countries.
American Reported Starring.
One of the Americans known to be
imprisoned in Russia by the bolshe
vik), Xenophen B. Kalamatiano, has
been made the subject of ineffectual
representations for more than a year.
According to the latest reports re
ceived by tho department, Kalama
tiano is in close confinement and is
being starved to death.
No complete list of Americans held
by the bolsheviki is available, but
enough is known of conditions in Rus
sia to' make the state department
cognizant of a rigorous system of sur
veillance on the part of the soviet au
thorities toward Americans. Pre
sum&bly. it is said, this policy is based
on a fear that individuals who have
observed the soviet regime at close
range may return to report actual
conditions prevailing in Russia.
List af Prisoners Issued.
The bolshevik government is hold
ing as prisoners in Moscow the fol
lowing Americans: Xenophen B. Kala
matiano, formerly of Racine, Wis.,
and Chicago, who is reported to be in
a. starving condition and under con
stant threat of execution.
Mrs. Elizabeth Maria Julia T. Doty,
wife of the American consul at Car
diff, Wales.
Maron Hipman, formerly clerk in
the American consulate-general at
Moscow.
Dr. Lambie. an American dentist,
and his wife (address not given).
Mrs. Esther M. Hipman of Park
Ridge, N. J., has made inquiries at
the state department regarding Maron
.Hipman.
Other Americans, it was said, prob
ably are being detained in Russia
but the department has been unable
to obtain their names. -.

America, honored and revered as
was no other nation on earth at th
time of "the signing of the armistice,
now stands alone, an object of (lis
trust, declared Dr. John H. Boyd, in
speaking before the Progressiv
Business Men's club at its regular
weekly luncheon yesterday noon
the Benson hotel. Dr. Boyd urged
that each man become a student of
international problems and be able to
do his part in placing officials at
Washington who will be capable of
redeeming the United States from the
position into which it has fallen.
Dr. Boyd's subject was, "Looking
Westward," and he told of some of
tho impressions gleaned from sev
eral months in Chicago, and of the
happiness which it brought to again
be on the Pacific coast. In discuss
ing the present international situa
tion, the Presbyterian divine declared
that the great evil of the present day
in American politics is little-minded-ness.
and urged that men be placed
in public office with a breadth of
vision and a capacity to handle the
international problems in a way that
will bring America back into the
position of respect and esteem among
the nations which she held a year
and a half ago.
He urged a general hdusecleanlng
at Washington as a necessary step
towards redeeming America, and de
clared that, it was time tne worm
problems which America is facing be
handled in terms of great and not
small mould. While what has been
lost since Armistice day cannot be re
covered, he declared that much can
be done to bring Amerhra back to Its
position of world leadership by plac
ing men of strong type and broad
vision at Washington.
senator Thomas, democrat. Colo
rado, also attacked the state adju
tants, declaring that through their
political influence they were able to
dictate to the house.

THE first essential of paint is to preserve. Second, to beautify.
Too many people make the mistake of considering only the lat
ter, consequently buy paints of inferior quality.
The result is a temporary beautifying: effect, without preserving
the wood.
FULLER Paints and other products are of that quality which preserves and
beautifies. Through their use, inside and out, years of life will be added to
your home and it will be made more livable to yourself and family.
Seventy-one years of paint-making experience are back of every brushful of
FULLER Products. Insist on FULLER'S and you'll be sure of results. And
remember, there's a FULLER Product for every paintable surface inside
and out.
