(Bv the United Press) Washington, Nov, 25. Reopening of trade relations with Russia, which would allow the bolsheviki to ship $200,000,000 worth of flax, platinum, gold bars and furs into this country in exchange for wheat, cotton and raw materials, is being soucrht by Petroerad, according to information here. Overtures have been made to this Government. It is learned no prog ress has been made. The bolsheviki are said to have at tempted to retain Americans and Ca nadians to represent them in the negotiations. The reopening of trade relations, it is feared, would give the-bolsheviki the opportunity they desire to fur ther their propaganda. During the exchange of cargoes they could get in touch-" With workers whom the) would attempt to convert to their doctrine. The way would be opened for easy egress to their agents from Russia. In addition . such , a move would tend1 to strengthen the botehe- viki held here and give' them prestige.

T, F. WICKLIFFE (Health Officer) Superintendent Curtis called me over the 'phone to ask what is the law governing the return to school of childreij aftgr having eqntagV ious 'disease. In reply, I fold Kim the law requires that all contagious di seases shall be reported promptly and the house placarded and quar antined, and that this placard and quarantine must stayvup the stated time for that dfiseaf, unless per mission from the health officer (quarantine officer) is obtained, the guarantee raised, and the children given certificates to go back to school by the 'health officer. As an instance we will take diph theria. The law requires the quar antine for this disease shall be 21 days from the date of the onset, un less sooner released by me. It has been my experience rthat in about 10 days after the disappearance of all symptoms m these cases of diph theria it is safe to relieve them from quarantine, so that I have adopted that time as a reasonably safe guide in regard to this disease. I am go ing to aek that the physicians in charge of these cases report to me when the cases have Jbeen free of all symptoms for 10 days, in order that I may relieve these cases from quar antine as soon as I conscientiously feel that it can be done. I have ac cordingly instructed Professor Cur tis to admit these children back to school only on my written certifi cate that they have been relieved from quarantine. I hope that this statement will make the matter plain; to the puMic, as i J do not wish any confusion ot misunderstanding . regarding the jiquarantine and the ibeing relieved from quarantine; and at the same time, I wish them all to realize that the. Health Department is doing all it can to prevent the spread of these contagious diseases, and that it can only succeed in doing so by the co operation of the doctors and of the public . in regard to the reporting, quarantining, and releasing from quarantine, of each case that occurs in our county.- Ship Expected to Be One of Speediest Afloat Cere mony Attends .Putting; Overboard pf Latest Ad dition td'Fleet (Special to'iTh Free Press) Philadelphia, Nrv. 25.

Be muse of the growing importance of the Mexican work the campaign has appropriated $575,000 to it alone for the next five years. But the Americanization and evan gelization of the foreigners is not con fined to Mexicans. This work Is car ried on also among the newly-arrived Immigrants at the various Southern ports, among those of foreign birth in the mining districts Of Alabama,, Okla. noma and Illinois and among other groups of people of foreign birth in Florida, Louisiana, Texas. Maryind and Virginia. Some of the BfcUa or ganizations carry on work ot their own among these people, while in, many places the program Is carried out co operatlvely between the state mission boards and the Home Mission Board. in many instances a large work Is done by the latter agency alone. Believing that both Americanization and evangelisation can be accomplished most effectively by first reaching the children, Btptist agencies have estab lished schools where the English lan guage is taught, along with American and . Christian I Ideals. Such school" are already being conducted with great success among the Italian and Cubsn children at Tampa. Fla., for French speaking children inr Church Point.
