Maxim Gorky Visits Germany Stockholm, Feb. 2,'J.?Maxim Gorky, Russian novelist and formerly relief official, looked tired and ill when he arrived here enroute for Berlin, lie said his principal purpose in visiting Germany was to secure the printing of manuscripts which circumstances had not permitted to be done before. "It is a biff parcel," he said, which I bring alonff and its contents are of the greatest importance to humanity for they include a new method for the treatment of tuberculosis. In food and fuel Gorky said Russian scientists were comparatively well off, thanks to the support which they have had from abroad, but what they mostly needed was moral support encouraging them to new efforts and it was from that point of view that it was essential their works should be published. "The position of Russian intellectuals is terrible and practically hopeless " said Gorky. "It means that as dreadful a catastrophe as could ever tali upon a nation has tailed upon Russia. Investigations made by Professor Manukin show that in Petrograd 22 percent suffer from anemia, 29 percent have cancer, 11 percent are drunkards and 16 percent gone mad. "A few days ago two professors tried to escape from Petrograd. One succeeded in pnssing the frontier into Finland but the other one was shot. Gorky said there were no children in Russia now. They were all grown up and death was printed on their faces. They were no more human beings. they were starving dogs. They had forgotten all human expressions except the one "give us bread," and incessantly day and night they cried for bread.

Mrs. (!eorgiana Hopley, who is dead now, was a member of that bond. She was the ' fust woman general prohibition agent's" mother. Miss Hopley comes of a long line ' of newspaper folk. One brother was the editor of the first and only prohibition paper in Crawford county ! Seven of her brothers and sisters still are in newspaper work, here or elsewhere. The late John Hopley, her father | as editor of the Bucyrus Journal, was ! accorded the title of "Nestor of Ohic ' Journalism." Miss Hopley has another "first" : to her credit. She is said to hav< been the first woman in Ohio to entei ; active newspaper work. Her initial newspaper job was as s rep rN-r on the Columbus, O.. Times ; In lPOn, Governor George K. Nash ap ' pointed her to represent women of the - state :it the Paris exposition. and sh( ; remained in France and England fron May un?.il December. She made trip; ! to England and the continent in 1908 J 1910 and 1911. In 1918. Miss Hopley had charge o1 s | the women's publicity in tho Fran! b, B.

Its naval appropriations 1 aggregated $30,000,000, bringing the total contemplated expenditures foi 4 army and navy to about $204,000,000 1 according to the budget approved bj . the recent congress. This expenditure is based on the I present size of the army and navy, l' The army, according to latest reports, . I numbers somewhat over 1,500,000 mer jl and the combined strength of the soli1 ciiers, the naval personnel and spelial , j troops is about 1,700.000. j Food and forage for the army i? | provided for in an appropriation ag.; gregnting about $79,000,000 which is greater than the amount of m mey America has already given for the relief of famine in the Volga districts and more than the amounts givc.i by i all foreign countries to relieve dis'' tress in Soviet Russia. ? Western soldiers, particularly A.ner; ican soldiers, will be amazed at the , i iow rare or pay ror military men An ordinary soldier's pay is '20,0000 ru. hies a month, which is only about ten [ 1 cents, or less than the price of a Russian pound of white bread. Captains I tret the equivalent of about I)ij \ ision commanders receive about $.00 ' a month. Budget figures for the Vecheka, or j "Cheka." show that this all-powerful spy system which combines leg'slaj live, executive and judicial functions a'l in one. and has been the chief ob: jeet of attack from abroad, as well as within Russia, is to cost $10,2'>00,000. j The Supreme Economic Council, which Is endeavoring to reconstruct Russia nindustry gets $77,000,000; i agriculture gets $26,000,000; education $61,000,000; and the deportment of health $58,000,000, The contemplated expenditures toI tal 1,877,000,000 gold rubles whilt the 000 gold rubles, leaving a d< ficit i equivalent to about $115,000,000. ; The chief sources from which it is estimated the state's income will be derived are nationalized industries which arc expected to yield $449,000,| 000 and $212,000,000 income from grain and other products taken as I taxes in kind. The income from ; transportation is placed at $49,000,000. . m Large Order For Manchester Firm 1 London, Feb. 2'i.- A contract valued at between ?750,000 and ?1,900,000 for material needed in the olec : iiiiiration 01 nouin rtincan railways . has been obtained by a Manchester i firm, acording to the Times.

Carr, director of the consular service in the first issue of the American 4 Consular Bulletin, a monthly publishI j ed by the American Consular Asso-j ciation, an unofficial and voluntary ori ganization embracing most of the ! members of the consular service in the United States, i "There is probably NO class of officers of the Government whose func' tions are loss correctly understood t by the public than consuls," says Di- j ! rector Carr. "To one man a consul t i? merely a visaer of passports, to an: other the word consul signifies a 4 florified traveling salesman charged ' with the marketing of American goods 1 . in foreign lands. Many a mother * ' knows the consul only as a good and ^ kind friend in a faw away land who * '. found and sent her wayward son back * to the old home, in the United States 1 , | "It would hardly occur to any of c II these individuals that their ontact had 0 been with an organization of trained 1 I j officers, an organization employing 11 j 2.500 men and women, costing about 0 j M,500,000 annually and returning to j the treasury of the United States in ** ij the year 1921 the sum of $8,500,000, ' I thus showing a net profit to the Gov- 1 I eminent for that year of more than v ! $1,000,000.

In the twelve month period ending June HO, last, consuls abroad received 756,824 I" letters and sent out 871,891. Between times they handled 546,289 consular invoices, visaed passports for 657,968 aliens nnd 150,117 Americans and checked the arrival and departure of 27,888 American vessels. In connection with their passport work, Director Carr asserts consuls t, discovered many frauds, "gangs of n crooks manufacturing and selling fraudulent passports were broken up in many places in Europe,' and count- n erfeit passports, cleverly copied, p rubber stamps for visas, counterfeit z fee stamps and seals?all wer" found _ end destroyed and the practices stopped."
