TO the Commission for Combating
the Counter Revolution: The special

Polish counter-r revolutionary troops
has begun it's activity. All the con
duct of its affairs has been located
at the counter espionage at the
StaVka, whore IS being collected all
information on the counter rcvo-
luton. on the external and in
ternal fronts. At the commission
have arrived members of the Com
mission for Combating the Counter
Revolution. +. Mick konoshin, |. Zen
zinov, Zhilinski, and from Sevasto-
pol Comrade Turin. To a confer
cnce were called agents announcing
their wish to be sent for conflict
with the bourgcoisie Polish officers
Dembitsky, Boleslav, Yakhimovich,
Strievsky, ascnovsky and Adamo-
Vlch All those agents are under OBJ
hgatlon to carry the affair to the
point of open INSTRUMENTATION of the

leaders among the Polish troops, and
the commission recognized the pos
slbility OF declaring all Polish troops
outside the law when that measure
should present itself as imperative.
From Petrograd, observers am
nounced that the Polish organiza
tlons are displaying great. reserve
and caution in mutual relations.
There has been established, how
ever, an unqucstonable contact be-
tween the high military council To-
Gated in Petrograd and the Polish
officers and soldiers of the bour-
geolsle estate-owning class with the
counter-reVolutlonary Polish troops.
On this matter, in the Commissariat
on Military Affairs, there took place
on January 22 conference Of Com
rades Podvoisky, kedrov, Borctz-
kov, Dybenko, and kovalsky. The
Commissar on Naval Affairs an
bounced that the sailors Trushin,
Markln, Peinkaitis and Schulz de-
mand the dismissal of the Polish
troops, and threaten, in case il is
refused, assaults on the Polish le-
glonaries in Petrograd. The comman-
der IN chief suggests that it might
be possible to direct the rage Of the
sailors mentioned, and of their group.
to the front against the counter-rev-
olutionary Polish troops.
AT the present time our agitation
among the Polish troops is being
carried on in very active fashion and
there is great hope for the disorgani
zntion of the Polish legionaries.

The Coconino sun., 1918-02-15

It has recently been announced that "some good friend" of the University has again come to the rescue and is going to erect flying cage on the University of Arizona campus. This in reality means bird cage on a large scale, cage of sufficient size to include trees and to include a con- siderable number of birds numbering about two hundred and seventy-five, although of course, all of them could not be placed in the same cage. Birds of very great importance for study for bird conservation and food con- servation are practically identical. Birds do a great deal of good in the destruction of insects on the crops and in pests on the cattle ranges, and are well worthy of detailed study. The bird cage will add greatly to the attractiveness of the campus and prove a considerable stimulant to the study of ornithology.

The University of Arizona is call ed upon to perform all kinds of ser- vice and the public does not know what it is prepared to do until it calls. Only recently the Hogan Douglas Fairbanks Company wired from Hollywood wanting to know if the university could supply them with two live GiIa monsters, and shortly a picture showing the smile of Doug las Fairbanks will also show two Un- iversity of Arizona Gila monsters.
