vllce. Is general director of the unit.
Members of the volunteer police force
carry blackjacks nnd have the same
authority In Montgomery County as
members of the state constabulary.
'Their authority, however, does not
extend over the county lines. In Mont
gomery County, how ever, they may make
arrests without warrants, and their
' police power Is virtually supreme.
A test of tho organization was made
recently by Captain Donaghy, A gen

SAILOR, WITH MEMORY GONE,
ONLY RECALLS CRASH AT SEA
,
"Water Was So Cold," Amnesia
Native, Moans, as Doctors at
Police Here Try
In the Philadelphia Hospital, where at
Intervals he describes the catastrophe at
sea which robbed him of his memory,
Is a former United States sailor who
thinks he is 'Andrew II. Salmon, of Allen
town, 'Pa, He does not know who he
Is, nor does he remember how he came
to Philadelphia. Suffering and privation
have brought on a pronounced case of
amnesia.
According to Dr. L. F. Luburg, the
police surgeon, who ordered him sent to
the hospital, the man's nervous sjstem
has been shattered by an experience that
has driven all other thoughts from his
mind.
Salmon, If that be his name, talks
continually of the tragedy which robbed
him of memory. But on matters relat
ing to the Immediate past his return
to this country and his search for rela
tives who could identify him his mind
la clouded.
Fenr Serious Breakdown
A two-hour examination convinces
Doctor Luburg that the ex-sallor Is on
the verge of an even more serious break,
down.
Meanwhile, the police nro In commu
nication with Allentown authorities In
1 an effort to establish the man's Iden
tity. The hospital authorities at Nor
folk, where Salmon believes he remained
for a time, and offlclala of the Navy
Department have been called to uld In
establishing hlo Identity.
Salmon attracted attention of passers
by at Eleventh and Vine streets by his
unusual actions last night. He walked
back and forth along Eleventh street,
stopping occasionally to peer Into win
dows, as though seeking some one.
He was dressed, lit an old suit of
civilian's clothes and a pair of shoes
much the worse for wear. But he had
rtwwtly. shaved and .Wis. threadbare Malt

OF INDEMNITIES
Reparation Commission

ASK MISSION TO RUSSIA
President of North District
Wants Allies to Make
Thorough Inquiry
By the Associated Preu
Tarls, March 1. Tho Pence Confer
ence commission on reparation has
lrtually completed .Its study of the
Indemnity which Germany must pay to
the Allied and associated powers and
the manner in which It shall be paid.
The study has been based more on whnt
Germany Is capable of pas-lng rather
than on what the opposing powers lost
In the war. Germany will hae to make
nn Immediate part pajment, while the
remainder wilt be scattered over a pe
riod of ears.
The actual money In the possession
of Germany Is less than $2,000,000,001)
In gold nnd there Is less than $600,000,
000 In silver. It Is known that the
ships In airman harbors will be started
outward on oages for good within a
few dajs. This subject will bo reported
to the Supreme Council at Its meeting
todaj, unless there Is a. further delaj.
It Is expected that the Allies will give
Germany certain credit on account of
food which Germany expects to pur
chase abroad nnd bring back on the
ships used by the Allies for carrying
troops homeward from nurope.
Aak -Million to Kuasta
The suggestion that the Entente gov
ernments send a commission to Itussla
for a thorough investigation of all gov
ernments there will be made today by
Nicholas Tschalkovsky, president of the
government of northern Busala.
His suggestion comes as n counter
proposition to the Allied Invitation to
the Itusslan governments to confer at
tlie Princes' Islands for the purpose nt
advising the Teace Conference nbout
the ' Russ'an situation. President
Tschalkovsky Is the only one of the
Russian lenders now In Paris willing
to participate In the proposed Princes'
Islands conference.
The Entente commission. It Is sug.
gested, ihould go to Itussla for the spe
cial purposo of learning the attitude of
thet majority of the town and village
people who were tho Bolshevlkl, ascer
taining whether the Soviets have sue
cessfully reformed or created anything.
Tho right to hold private hearings and
permission to visit all parts of Itue-sla
should bo guaranteed.
Urges Thorough Inqulr;
President Tschalkovsky suggests also
that all Intenventlon cease, or else the
commission would not be able to get
witnesses to testify. He urged an in
vestlgatlon of what has become of the
Itusslan press, labor unions, public ana
,n(.ntiffi nnlAtlpn. schools and banks.
The commission also should Inquire Into
election methods, food supply, condition
of women and children, health condi
tions nnd housing. M. Tschalkovsky be
lieves that the conditions of the peaf-
ants, who comprise 8S per cent of the
population, should bo Investigated thor
oughly. "The genuine representatives of the
Ilu&slan people havo ever thing to ga(n

trlan and asked to be directed to "a
police station."
He was sent to the Sixth District fcta.
tlon at Eleventh and Winter streets.
Walking to the sergeant's desk he said:
"I want to nnd out who I am."
Police Search For Clue
Two policemen were detailed to search
him All the time Salmon talked of
"the sinking of my boat" and 'swim
ming In Ice water' and "freezing In
salt water."
An examination of his clothing re
vealed nothing. The undergarments did
not even bear a laundry mark. Asked
where he purchased the clothes, Salmon
replied that he did not remember. The
police believe he bought them at a second-hand
store.
The former sailor was taken to a
cell and Police Surgeon Luburg was
notified.
"I remember enlisting In the navy In
July, 1917," he told the physician. "After
a while they sent me to Brest on a trans
port and from there I was transferred
to a converted yacht t Bordeaux.
Yacht irummed lllg Transport
"The patrol of which I war part was
stationed at Bordeaux. I remember
Bordeaux and Brest. .One night while
we were off BorJeaux the yacht was
rammed by a big transport The jacht
sank like a stone and we were all
thrown Into the water. There were no
lights. The transpdrt didn't dare stop

remember when. Then I woke up )n a

by the Methodists. I remember they
were Methodists.
"Say, that water was cold!"

sailor continually reverted to the
thought. The coldness of the water, lll
