FIVE YANKEES IN PRISON
Bolshevikl Consider United States
Most Vncompromlsing In At
titude Toward Reds.
TERIJOKI, Finland, Aug. 17- Rus
sian Frontier. Aug. 9. (By the
A.tociated Press.) A ' thousand
foreigners, including 35 Americans,
aro at Moscow hoping for action by
their governments to get them out
before winter.
Aside from 35 of undoubted Ameri
can citizenship, there are many claiming-
American citizenship, who have
gathered from al) parts of Russia.
Tliey are the last of Kussla'8 pre-war
foreign residents.
Inquiries by the Associated Press
correspondent before his deportation
to Finland from Moscow, because he
had not recelvea advance soviet auth
orization for a trip from Vladivostok
to Moscow, developed that many
foreigners have been refugees in
Moscow over a year. A tralnload of
French once was sent to the frontier,
an& then returned because of the at
titude of France toward the bolshe
vik!. The Amerclans say their status is
worse than the other foreigners. They
are held virtually as hostages while
the soviet tries to force "Washington
to negotiate officially with Moscow or
bolshevik agents.
Five Americans In Prison.
Bolshevik officials consider the
United States the most uncompromis
ing of all nations in her attitude to
ward the soviet.
Five Americans are known to be
imprisoned. Among them are Dr. A.
W. Stickney, geologist, and his wife,
who recently arrived from Siberia.
The others are Royal C. Keeley, a
man named Lamark and a naturalized
American Greek, named Calimidlanov,
who has been Imprisoned a year and
a half, charged with being a spy. H.
D. T. Reynolds, an American mining
engineer, is not permitted to leave
Semipalatinsk. Siberia, the bolshevikl
demanding his services there.
A half dozen other Americans have
been imprisoned at different times.
Most of the Americans are long-time
residents. Some lacked finances to
go to Siberia and the far east, the
only exit, while others were ill or
lived in distant provinces.
Since the consular officers departed,
there has been no official method of
negotiation with the bolshevikl. In
dividual appeals met with the reply
that Americans would 'not be permit
ted to leave until the American au
thorities would negotiate with the
soviet regarding repatriation, prob
ably involving terms of exchange for
communists in the United States.
Anarchist deportees who have ar
rived In Russia from America are de
clared not wanted.
The Americans recently nominated
H. C Carlson, former business repre
sentative In Moscow, to register the
Americans and .handle their affairs
with the soviet.
Corporal Fnrnlahn Details.
Corporal Arthur Prince of Detroit,
Mich., an American soldier recently
released from prison, has given con
sular officials and the Red Cross in
Finland detailed information regard
ing the American personnel and has
asked that if possible something be
done.
A French relief organization sent
food to imprisoned Americans, but
this relief will end with departure of
the French, expected soon.
Treatment accord,ed foreigners re
flects any action abroad which is
unfavorable to the bolshevikl. July
24, when some refugees left, BO Brit
ish subjects with permission to go
were taken off the train and are still
held. The bolsheviki have learned that
Leonid Krassin, minister of trade and
commerce, had not been permitted to
return from London.
Likewise 17 British officers and ex
perts oil the Siberian railway com
mission, headed by J. F. Stevens of
Chicago were taken in custody during
the Kolchak retreat, simultaneously
when Colonel F. R. Blunt of Piano,
111., and his party were stopped in
June as they were leaving the bol
shevik territory of Irkutsk. These
17 now are in prison in Moscow.

things, of getting ready. Ha acts a
little as if he hasn't quite grasped the
rules and conditions of this new garni
yet. He has more the air of still
learning, still asking for information,
rather than flying down the track of
a well-planned course. He-lacks any
appearance of pressure. A newspa
per man who went to Cox's head
quarters for a 15-minute engagement.
actually, talked with him for four
hours.
The picture at Dayton, as one finds
it on personal contact, is different
from what I am confident the public
thinks it is.
Big Business Neglected.
Cox lives in his big new house a
few miles out of town and every
morning cornea into his newspaper
office. There he moves about in a
manner which so far as it is unasum-
ing, one admires, but so far as it pays
attention to the tremendous business
of leading a great political party in
a national campaign, must be disturb
ing to anyone interested in the fa
vorable outcome of that event.
The only thing that distinguishes
James M. Cox in the office of the
Day tor. News from any other proprie
tor of a newspaper in a town of 150,
000 is the presence of eight corre
spondents from out of town. These
and the occasional other correspond
ents who drop in for a few days are
almost the only evidence of the enor
mous process of making a man known
to a whole nation and marshaling- 10.
000,000 or 15,000.000 voters into or
ganized support.
Cox Utterly Informal.
There are two seated hours when
Cox mcts these newspaper men, once
in the forenoon for the evening pa
pers and pnee in the afternoon for
the morning papers. Actually, the
newspaper men have the run of the
office and Cox moves about among
them with utter informality. One
feels that he would do better if he
made a more systematic even if less
good-natured use of his time. All the
newspaper men like him. He realizes
their hunger for a "story" twice a day
and co-operates with them in a gen
erous spirit. He tries to think of
something to say or some announce
ment to make and the newspaper men
sometimes make suggestions which
occasionally, he accepts and enlarges,
upon.- He has no publicity man, and
for that contrast with well Estab
lished practice one approves him. The
stream of profound or "snappy" ut
terances that frequently flows from
public men too often has its source
not . in the mind of the man himself
but in the inventive fertility of a
professional publicity, man.
So far as Cox s failure to acquire
a publicity man represents a deter
mination on his part that his per
sonality and. his brain shall be re
vealed to the . public Just for what
taey are, without the artful aid of
a publicity man, that is fine; but un
happily, one suspects if Is merely
part of the general casualness with
which the campaign is being man
aged.
The net of it is that mere isn't
much ."drive" in the democratic cam
paign yet, either as respects the or
ganization, or as respects Cox. The
public hasn't become interested yet
and your correspondent has not ob
served anything coming along that
is likely to excrte the voters very
much. This is as true of the repub
licans as of the democrats. It may
be that the public isn't going to take
as much interest in this campaign as
we have in others.
For a generation we have had three
huge personalities in this country
Roosevelt. Wilson and Bryan. In
every presidential campaign for 2f
years one or the other of these men
has been a candidate, sometimes two
of them. They stirred themselves up
by virtue of mere quantity of their
personalities, and neither Cox nor
Harding has anything like the quan
tity of personality that these three
have had.

sprint, pulling Hill with him. Both
passed the faltering Rudd 50 yards
from the tape. The pair raced the
last few yards neck and neck, where
Hills jump gave him victory. Eby
was second by an inch over Rudd, who
dropped in collapse just over the line.
More sensational, however, was the
collapse of Campbell, who set a fast
pace up to 50 yards from home. He
was unconscious five minutes.

COAST FEELS NATIONAL PRIDE
Representation for West Greatly in
Excess of Other Sections.
All sections of the Pacific coast feel
a just and natural sense of pride at
tne Dig victory the coast has won in
the number of .athletes selected on
the ' American Olympic team for
Antwerp. In the 1912 Olympic games
only eignt men went from this coast.
The. 1920 team has exactly 24 men.
or approximately one-quarter of ' the
full team.
When we consider the ' small and
scattered population of the coast
states, the representation of this far
west is greatly in excess of any other
section of the country. There are
also three athletes selected from the
east who are men born on this coast
and received their athletic education
here. ' .

To Cast People Adrift Now Would
Be Crime, Say Representative
After Touring Orient.
v
HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 17! Inde
pendence for the Philippines before
the next 25 years was opposed as "a
crime of the first magnitude" by
Representative -C. H. Randall ' of'
California, a member of the congres
sional party touring the Orient, who
came here today aboard the Great
Northern on his way to tha United
States.
"There should be no independence
for the Philippines before the next
quarter of a century and you will find
practically every member of the con
gressional party of the same mind,"
he said.
f'With many. Including myself, it
was a great reversal of opinion. Af
ter seeing the Philippines it was our
almost unanimous verdict that the
Philippines are not ready for inde
pendence. "It would be a crime of the first
magnitude to cast these people adrift.
The better educated Filipinos, who
are not politicians, are practically
unanimous in their opposition to in
dependence. "The development of the Philippines
Is stagnated because of the lack of
capital, due to uncertainty regarding
the status of the government.
"I am unalterably opposed to sur
rendering the Philippines to other
than American Jurisdiction for the
reasons above stated, and another rea
son fraught with profound omen to
the United States and the entire race.
The shadow of Japanese aggression
overlies almost the entire Orient
Thoughtful men are in semi-terror at
the prospect of Japanese domination
of Siberia, China," Korea and the
Philippines, if the United States re
leases them later."
Randall said he had cabled Attorney-General
. Palmer urging that pro
hibition be extended to the Philip
pines. CIDER SUITS TO BE PUSHED

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is
very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything- else all to
pieces. You can get this at any drug
store, and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in; about a teasponful is
all that Is required. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly and rinses out
