not so firm. rs half century ago.
Drawing a parallel between the fight
for liberty waged BY the men he was
addressing and the fight which his own
countrymen are now waging for that
same liberty Mr.. Bakhmetieft said:
You sacrificed your lives and gave
your all for a great ideal. the noble
cause Of democracy and free govern
ment. To-day the work you did. the
trail you blazed. has been an tnspira-
ton to the down-trodden and oppressed
people Of Russia. and they. knowing
your efforts and success. arose in their
might, and. fighting for the self-same
ideals and causes. have established n
free government by free people.

shrine. you who responded to the call
Of the greatest patriot Of all time. tho

The veterans responded to the ambas-
sador with hearty cheers. Past Com
mander James Tanner. in q fervid re-
Spouse, said:
Our cause is the cause Of liberty and
democracy. the cause Of the peoples I'LL
around the world. including tho Ger
mans and Austrtans. Before we obs
tain our end. the serpent must be crush
ed beneath tho heels Of free mon. the

BLAMES HIGH COST OF LIVING
FOR ENLIGHTENMENT

Frank O'Hayer, 935 N. Austin av.,
Oak Park, arrested on charge of
embezzling $1,845 from the Hiber-
MAN Banking assn, after fifteen
years as paying teller, blames all of
his trouble on the high cost of hv-
ing.
When the shortage was discovered
O'Hayer admitted his guilt and was
fired. Later a warrant was issued
for his arrest and he was released on
$4,000 bond.

Two human break-downs, just
out of prison, landed in Chicago
Monday. After long terms of i'm
prisonment they were turned loose
on the world, without friends, rela-
tives or coin, from the Indiana state
pen at Michigan City.
Lewis Abbott was sent up for life
in 1878, for a murder he denies he
committed. Levi Kessler went to the
pen in 1886 for killing a man in a
quarrel over a watch. Pale, heart
sick and prisOn-woTn, they were
turned out yesterday.
Both men had been honor con-
victs. Chicago with its penetrating
wind, cold weather and two million
and a half of suspicious people is a
nice place for. Albert and Levi to be
wished on-not! Who'll give 'em a
chance?
They are being cared for at pres
ent at Hope hall, conducted by the
Salvation Army.

Mrs. O'Hayer denied the high cost
claim, saying that extra money went
to pay her husbands personal

hated to have the affair thrown up

Popularized song hits, warbled by
f1ashily clad cabaret singers under
the glare of calcium lights, sound al
together different out on the farm
and according to Mabel ClemO, 16,
and Mary Penn, Is, Jackson, Mich,
girls who came to Chicago to see the
world, there's no comparison.
Back on the old home place, only
last Saturday, they hummed the
words, ''I love the COWS and chick
ems" exasperatingly and decided
that the song writer had had a Shot
in the arm" when he penned "This
is the life"
So they filched $25 from the pa
ternal stocking and skipped to Chi
cago. The money went for weeks

tours of cabarets and dance halls.
Today they were arrested on charge
of stealing valuable silks and furs
from an. apartment store. They
