No Russian Defense for
Allied Thurman Invasion
lAssociated Presa Correspodence.l

ASSOCIATED Press correspondence.
HARDIN. Manchuria, Aug. IL
Russia is powerless to take any part
in this impending conflict OF Allied
and German affairs in the Thurman
district. according TO the version Of a
recent speech by Premier ~Lenfne
which has been received here.
THE English and French bour-
geoisie have spent enormous sums on
Thurman and of course with mercen-
airy purpose" asserted Lenine.
They have landed troops to pro-
tect the Thurman coast. We had no
proper forces to prevent this. The
German government demands that
they be disarmed, telling us that IL
we cannot defend ourselves they will
carry on the wal In our territory"
Referring to -the Ukraine, Lenine
claimed that the Germans were met
everywhere with desperate resistance.
TO the Caucasus" Lenine points
out, "the Soviet sent inquiries regard
ing the new frontiers which the Cau-
casion government laid claim to, but
received no answer
I'VE are not a great power. OF
Russia nothing is left but Great Rus
STA. For us the interests of universal
socialism are higher than national
interests. For us, little down-trod-
den Great Britain stands far higher
than hat stupendous great power
which sold itself to the i~mperialists
with secret treaties.
I'VE cannot now conceal the fact
we are in favor OF defence. We
wish TO defend our s~ocialistic father
land. For this we must ave a prole-
tartan dictatorship"

Nv the Rev. Charlcs steIzIe

This isn't an appeal to cripples or
to those who may have fallen by the
wayside-those who are out OF the
game-it's written to the men and
women who have ability and who
know they nave II. but who haven't
quite hit their pace.
They're waiting for someone to
come along and pick them up and
place them where they're sure they
belong.
But not many men have greatness
thrust upon them-they achieve 1t
because they get out and hustle for 1t.
The fact is. most of those who
have 1t In their power to place de
serving people are too busy to no.
tice much outside of their own rou-
tine.
They're interested in people who
have genius and talent, but like most
OF the rest of us. they're looking else
where than right at home to find II.
So it's up to o to prove to them
that you're above the average.
1t is possible that just plodding
along, faithfully doing what you're
given to do, will finally and you
where you belong-although 1t may
take a long time.
