A total of 1162 lodges, with n com
bined membership of 135,000, now arc
engaged In playing "big brother" to the
children of the poor In the cities and
towns of N'orth America, Judge John II.
Itellly, of Indiana, announced todny In
presenting the report of the big brother
movement to the Rika national conven
tion on the Million-Dollar I'lcr.
It is eminently fitting, he said, that
this Teport, showing how the cause of
helping the waifs of the big cities to
attain better opportunities, has spread
all over the country, should bo sub
mitted here, for it was in Atlantic City
that tho movement was set In motion
seven years ago by "Garry" Herrmann,
of Cincinnati, then grand exalted ruler.
Since that, time, more than one hun
dred thousand little brothers have been
benefited by the advice and aid of mem
bers of the nntlercd fraternity. At this
time, approximately forty thousand little
brothers arc being looked after by an
equal number bf "big brother l"lks. The
report continued-
..hm. ci"tlnuei1.
The Influence 61 our order In spread-
lng tho gospel of big brotherhood has
awakened the public conscience to the
necessity for such woik among the un-
lonunnte boys anu girls, witn tne result
that many civic and religious bodies
have taken up the cause.

Grand Dnke Alcxandei Mlchaclfivitch,
brother-in-law of the lormer Russian
Kmperor, wns Interviewed at the end of
Juno In Altodor, In the Crimea, by the
correspondent of the Budapest As I'st,'
according to a telegram to Dutch news
papers Relating his e.xperlencis after
the abdication "f the Romanoffs, the
Grand Duke said-
"We ware for davs at Dulbar (near
Aitodor) at the house of Peter Nlchol
aicvitch. all together. Wo owe our
lives solely to that good and Intelligent
man. My sK sons and mself were on
the blacklist. We scarcely hoped to
escape with 'our lives. They took our
money and pioperty Our house In
Tetrograd was inzcd to the ground
"Fortunately, I have a pioperty with
a vineyard In Altodor, on tne produce
of which my family and myself can
live."
The correspondent remarked that
Russia might, within the year, again
have a monarchical constitution nnd the
grand duke asked skeptically If this
would be possible. The correspondent
added that Kmperor Nicholas, however,
would not again come to tho throne, nnd
the grand eluke remaiked with vivacity:
"Certainly not. He is vividly of tho
old system."
The correspondent also related a con-'
versatlon he had vvllh General Balbaroff,
who was the loid high steward of Grand
Duke Nicholas Nlcolalevltch, former
eonimnnder-ln-chlef ot the Russian

after being sentenced to death by the
Bolshevik). The latter had declaii'd
they would not be content with the
simple execution of the emperor's rela
tions, but would drive them to death In
a specially cruel manner.
It was a Caucasian officer named
DslollkanI, charged with keeping guard
over the grand duke's family, accord
ing to tho correspondent, who saved
their lives. In order to divert suspicion
he first treated the family with excep
tional severity nnd succeeded In having
their execution postponed until at last
German troops arrived.

ARGENTINA EXPRESSES
SYMPATHY WITH U. S.
INaon, Financial Commis
sioner, to Iron Out Tangles,
Result of Imports
''By the United Press
Viitilnein, July 10.
Assurances of the warm regatd of the
people of Argentina for the United States
nnd of their sympathy for her Ideals
were voiced by Dr. Romnnolp S Nnon,
Argentine ambassador and high finan
cial commissioner, here.
Doctor Nnon nsserted that he had
been highly pleased with conditions as
he had found them In Argentina during
his recent visit there, and that ho was
equally pleased with the kindly spirit
with which his return to Washington
was gieetcd. He stated that It was
hln desire to work for tho lmpiov anient
of tho nlrendy cordial relations between
tho two republics.
The Ambassador called on Secretniy
Lansing-today and pdesented his creden
tials as high financial commissioner.
Recognition of the rank gives the United
States four commissioners from foreign
' countries. Doctor Naon's position as
high commissioner from a country "ot
'ii the war Is unique.
Doctor Naon's chief task as high
financial commissioner Is not to float
a loan for Aigentlna In this country,
as has been leported from vailous
-ources, but rather tq co-operate with
the United States In working out prob
lems of trade and monetary exchanges
letween the two countries
Most of Argentina's exports are pour
ing Into the United States American
export iotrictlons make It Impossible
to (-end sufficient manufactured goods
southward In exchange and the United
States gold embargo forbids buyers in
this count! y paying Argentlami In gold.
The resulting decrease In the value of
the Aineilcnn dollar at Buenos Aires
was met several months ago by the de
posit of $00,000,000 in gold in New Yolk
to the credit of the Argentina cmbass)
here.
This gold guarantees bank note Issues
in Argentina, he plan now Is to In
i rcase this deposit to $70,000,000, or
i nihility more, If necissary.
The possibility of the Government of
i Aigentlna changing Its present war
I stand Is held to be slight at the present
j time. In the opinion of Latin-American
diplomats.

The World's Masterpiece
When quality, performance and price are considered in
their proper proportion, the Stroud Pianola-Piano stands unques
tioned as the world's masterpiece of player-piano manufacture.
In quality, it is sufficient to state that this instrument is
made by the great Aeolian Company, makers of the Weber and
Steinway Pianolas.
In performance, one demonstration will convince you of
its ability.
In price, no other instrument can bring you such a repu
tation, such distinctive construction, such quality and
power for only $700.
