iloorich Bandit Has Again Offered to Surrender Washington, Feb. 11.?Raisuli, the Moorish bandit who has Just again offered to surrender to the Spanish military forces which are pushing an active campaign against him in Morocco, is the man who once drew the United States into action in that vexed corner of the world. He figured in that celebrated incident when Secretary of State Johr Hny demanded "Perdiearis alive 01 Kaisuli dead." That was 17 years ago, in 1904. Raisuli had captured Ion Perdiearis, r naturalized American citizen and kept him prisoner. President Roosevelt sent a fleet of eight American war vessels stripped for action into Tangiei Harbor while John Hay sent his famous message to the feeble Sulton in nominal command there. Raisuli, who now says he is "too fat to fight" had long been a leader of the wild tribesmen who have frequently swamped the trained battnlions of r. civilized power. Perdiearis, a wealthy man, was r?rncJ/1nnf nf flin ^AVU?UV?>V VI. VUV uuiuficail WVIllllllOOlUIl administering affairs in Tangier City in 1904. He has told the story of his capture and it was recounted some time ago in a National Geographic Society Bulletin. He was snatched out of his summer home by Raisuli's raiders, and borne off to a mountain stronghold. From there, the chieftain proceeded to open up negotiation with the Sultan of Morocco, Perdicaris' family, and eventually in indirect fashion with the American government, concerning the price to be paid for his captive. The United States cut short the chaffering in the fashion described. The Sultan, panic-stricken, sent $70,000 in silver to Saisuli, appointed him governor of a district, turned loose some of his friends from Tangier jails, and incarcerated some of Raisuli's enemies in their place. Perdicaris later returned to the United States to express his thanks. Prosperity, however, came close to ruining his erstwhile captor, Raisuli. He got into a quarrel with the Sultan f.bout his governorship, was thrown out, and promptly retaliated by bearing off for ranson Kair Sir Henry McLean, British commander of the Moroccoan army. He arrayed his tribesmen for battle, and descended upon the coast, doing much damage to European interests, and in 1907, succeeded in setting all the hair-triggers ir European diplomacy. The French navy bombarded one of his captive towns, Casablanca, the now practically extinct Kaiser Wilhelm came to bat sniffing undue French expansion in prospect, but the matter was straightened out in a council chamber instead of of a bat tlefield. Raisuli was chased back to his mountain fastness, but news dispatches every few years record another of his eruptions. "In many respects the man Interested and attracted me in spite of all my natural motives for dislike," Perdicaris says of Raisuli in the Geographic Society's report. "Raisuli was gracious and dignified, not to us only, but to his own wild adherents, who evidently idolized their chieftain, whose position among them seemed that of a head of a highland clon in olden times. He was quick to see the humorous aspect of a situation, while his repartee was as immediate and to the point as though he had been bom in the county Galway. "I found myself unconsciously accepting his contention that he was not a mere brigand or cattle-lifter, but a patriot strugglingto lift his Pcrber followers from the tyranny of corrupt officials. His charm of voice, the natural poise and dignity of his nanncr, his self-ontrol under provocation, all betrayed a superior character." Perdicaris remarks that "Raisuli could not bear to hear a child cry," but there a fiercer background for the tibesman's motivation. Cromwell Vasley, step-son to Perdicaris, was cracked over the head in the raid on the American's summer home, and both men were forced to ride many miles In tight bonds. "It was in connection with the framing of the ultimatum 'Perdicaris alive or Daisuli dead' that a trusted correspondent of The Associated Press in Washington is concerned." The Geographic Society Bulletin remarks, "Being entrusted with preparing a message for Presdent Roosevelt to sign, Mr. Hay did so, and submitted it to his friend, the newspaperman, for his opinion. 'Well, it may be diplomatic lut the Sulton will never get you ir the midst of all those words,' was ir effect the newspaperman's verdict 'Why not say what >ou mean, and no more, Mr. Secretary? Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead.' "The secretary agreed. President Roosevelt approved. And the Sultar so far 'got' this succint American demand that he abandoned all usual oriental indirection."

"Made In Germany" May Be Used Agaii 2? Berlin, Feb. 11.?The trademark "Made in Germany" soon may b stamped again on German expor wares, for the agitation to revive thi trademark, which was known in thre fourths of the market cities of th world before the war, has been in creasing in industrial and commei cial circles. Arguments that the anti-Germa: sentiment which resulted in wide spread boycotts following the war i subsiding and that many merchant would welcome the trademark hav had noticeable influence with mane facturers, who are now investigatin the probable result of its renewe use. It is almost certain the words wi shortly be used for articles whic cannot be imitated or for which thor are no substitutes in other countrie: Some of the reports, said to hav been received from foreign mei chants say many would welcome th sign again if only to prevent trades men from selling German goods r higher prices than necessary, undt the representation that they wei made in Switzerland, America, Enj land or elsewhere. It is known that immediately aft< the war the German merchants an manufacturers made use of the Swit to market German made wares whi< were boycotted.

Before the revolu^ tion she had borne the title of princess. . "I hate Russian men," she went on. >o "They are wishy-washy. They have given us a lond made of nitehevo (it doesn't matter) aftra (tomorrow) ju nieznayu, (I don't know) and avos j (perhaps)." j She had been to Tashkent to speculate in gold. Everybody had to do something to live nowadays. She was the wife of a Mussulman, ' once owning thousands of acres of 'r land with an income of $100,000 n I year. She had warned him to get out of ^ Russia, three years ago, sell his lands, but he was obstinate and now he was e wandering she knew not where, both U he and she were separated from their children and she had nearly died in n Soviet prison. ? Taking ono thing with another, she didn't regret her sufferings and losses. ' It had taught her a lot. She had 's known court life, that of Paris and :e London. Now the revolution had dropped her into nbject poverty. She was tired of the struggle. The IS prison had broken her spirit. I.ike s many Russians, she was morallv bank riipt. She had had her fling in poli? tics and at time had a lot Of fun at it. She wanted to get abroard but she T~ wondered if she could ever settle down y in a calmer atmosphere; she had be10 come so used to excitement. Some of her family had been exeie cuteed through the efforts of another >e woman politician and she had tried to >' have that woman and her husband executed in their turn. It had been a struggle between the Reds and the Mussulmans of the Caspian Sea counts try. The Reds had won and she was made a prisoner l?y the woman she h, had tried to have executed. It was in Kismet. ;o Rather than satisfy her woman en10 emy, she had tried to commit suicide is in the Cheka prison by taking an 'd overdose of cocaine. It had failed. She had been put on the prison train d and shipped North, with several hun1 dreds of others, destined to an Archie rngel prison, after the Soviet manner -s of locking up people in places distant le from their people and homes. She had to sell even down to her underd clothes to get food. 'o Fortunately, she was able to make n herself ill. She put snow on her chest, 'e caught cold and then the typhus, and had to be put off at a wayside hospital. There a sister of charity recogr ized and befriended her and she was brought back to a semblance of health, ( and through friends in Moscow was finally freed. How long her present i freedom would last she couldn's say. She knew she could not endure a secIt ond imprisonment, not even for a e week, so she carried about her enough t cocaine to defeat the prison, s Meanwhile she was working, trying | o to keep afloat.

They found i;? it difficult to plate money before the i- fight, followers of Cook asking odds it of four to one, according to the state?r ment of one of the French party. Most e of the money was wagered between r. the second and the third round. Carpentier had been consistently giving !r ground during the first two rounds, id Cook many times having the French ?s man against the ropes giving the imh pression of greater strength. After the bell sounded at the finish r_ of the second round, a prominent ,c "boulevardier"?a close friend of LS Descamps?arose and shouted: "Five rc hundred pounds even Carpentier wips lo inside six rounds." Throughout the v arena at once there was an exchange -j. of accepting nods ranging from 100 to 500 pounds sterling. The rest i3 pugilistic history. The fight seemed to begin at the tap of the bell for the third round and it was a much humbler Cook who went to his corner after the third round. A noble lord impressed by the showing made by Cook in the first two rounds is said to have dropped ?1,000 coincident with the dropping of Cook for the final count in the fourth round.

Feb. 13.?-The first HRihle printed in. the UriitAi States sprang directly from a national solicitation of funds in Englandl and Wales in a manner somewhat akin to the Liberty Loan drives, according to George B Utley, librarian of the Newberry Li brary here. The library has both the lirst American Bible and the Act of the English Parliament which led to it. This Bible was a translation into the tongue of the Massachusetts Indians. For years John Eliot, a Puritan fleeing from persecution who landed eleven years after the May Mower, hail been sending back to England reports about missionary sue cess among the indi&ns. When the Puritans came into pow er he found a friendly government, and in 1649, within six months after Charles 1 was executed, when Cromwell was supreme, Parliament passed "An Act for promoting and propagating the Gospel in New England." This created a corporation consist ing of 16 Londoners, which thereafter carried on this work. But more especially it ordered "a generul collection in all the countries, . a I f Lilies, towns unu parisues ui land and Wales." It required the ministers to read the act to their congregations and instructed them, with others, to "go with all convenient speed from house to house to every one of the inhabitants of the said parishes and places respectively, and to take the subscription of every person in a schedule to be presented to them for that purpose and accordinly at the same time to collect and gather the same." Better education of the Indians was also named among the purposes of the corporation. Twenty-five years later there were four Indian towns with schools in Massachusetts and "the praying Indians" there numbered 4,900. This collection ordered by parliament brought in about 11,000 pounds it is reported. Fourteen years later, in 1663, Eliot finished the first complete Bible printed in the Western hemisphere. Its title page bears the lines, "At the charge and with the consent of the Corporation in England for the Promotion of the Gospel amongst the Indians in New England." The place of printing was Cambridge, Mass., where 23 years before Eliot had helped compile the Bay ,Psalm book, the first book to come off the press, in what is now the United States. rin>wi crpstinns Are works of Art.

The league, while conceived by the superintendent, largely is the creature of Fleming's constructive efforts. The league is charged with providing ree-1 | reation for the inmates of the prison, looks after the amusements and establishes a standard of conduct for its members, demanding that they maintain the standard if they enjoy its benefits. Fleming, the former president, and who still devotes much time and study to the league, has the unusual record nf nnw enrvinir Viic oiw/m/1 If" " "?> tcnce for murder. lie was pardoned while serving; his first sentence. In 101 f> he again killed a man and again received a life sentence. The welfare feature of the league lias Fleming's chief interest. It looks after the dependents of its members, cares for its members when they are sick, l?y providing delicacies and pays funeral expenses if they or any of their dependents die. ' It helps the men to know that their families are being cared for," Fleming says, "and will keep many a wife faithful until her husband gets out, in my opinion. A woman with dependent children and her husband in here has a hard outlook." Tangible achievements in the year of the league's existence are considered remarkable by the superintendent. Notwithstanding the fact that a large maority of the prisoners practically are destitute, their league has spent in cash $2,1100 improving the baseball diamond, $850 for band uniforms and instruments, $1,500 on its commissary and office fixtures, and has accumulated about $500 worth of stage properties. These purchases were made possible by the operation of a store by the prisoners. United States is "Land of Promise" Buenos Aires, Feb. 10.?The United States may be the "land of promise" for European immigrants but it is not the only land in the Western Hemisphere where promises of riches for the humble who labor have been fulfilled. A local newspaper has just published a list of immigrants or descendants of immigrants from Italy number 111 whose combined fortunes gained in Argentina are estimated to exceed 1,000,000,000 pesos, or $424,000,000 in American money. The list was published in connection with the forthcoming inauguration of a 5,000,000 peso clubhouse which the Italian colony of Buenos Aires has erected. Italians in Argentina are prominent ir all branches of activity but to a large extent in industrial enterprises, some of the most important of which arc controlled by them. --I-S-T Renew 1 Subscrij TODAY Only $4 If you di you ma1, more lal Tl ine i Daily National Chairman Returns to Pekin i Peking, Feb. 10.?When General Chans: Tso-lin, the military governor! of the Three Eastern Provinces and j the most powerful tuchun in China, | I recently came to Peking he brought, under his protection the notorious] Chang Ching-yao, who had in 1920, been virtually outlawed by Chinese! government upon the insistence of the' America legation.

In addition to the Lnmonas, and other government-bred fowls of standard breeds, the department put on an extensive exhibit consisting of models of poultrv houses, a disnlnv of era of the standard breeds, appliances such as feed hoppers, brood coops, and a fattening battery. A series of panels, made up of photographs, charts, and placards, showed the more important standard breeds, the feeding of hens for egg production, the preparation of birds for exhibition, the advantages of early hatching, the improvement resulting from the use of a high quality sire, capons and cuponizing, culling the farm flock, and the pedigree breeding of poultry. A number of department representatives took part in the program of the show and gave information to the visitors concerning the educational exhibit. They reported an extraordinary interest on the part of the public and various poultry breeders in the Lamona breed, many persons desiring to obtain breeding birds. The department believes it necessary to perfect them still more as regards certain characteristics, and it is not likely that any will be for sale during the coming year. I Well, that sounds hopeful. Perhaps it is on the up-grade.
