WAR LEAGUE TO BE
ORGANIZED BY MAS0NS

At a meeting of the grand council
of Masons in Louisville, Oct. 14-18,
a war league for Masons will be
formed. The subject will be brought
before the council and in all proba-
bility will be adopted.
The purpose of the league Is to
form an organization for the benefit
of the returned soldiers after the
war. A place for all those returning
will be found and those who have
been wounded will be helped in every
way to prepare themselves for flu
ture work.
The scheme will be of great bene-
fit to the returning soldiers and will
receive the support Of all Masons it
is believed.
There are Al, lodges in the State
with a membership of $1,000, and
eight local bodies with a membership
of 1000.

LOOK OUT FOR SALESMAN TAX
ING BONDS FOR STOCK

Worthless securities are being
offered in exchange for Liberty Bonds
by questionable companies whose &C
tivities have reached such a point as
to receive particular attention from
the Liberty Loan organizations and
Federal Reserve Banks.
The efforts of some stock statesmen
and promoters to float issues of
stock by taking in exchange Liberty
Bonds may result disastrously for
Liberty bond-holders whose financial
knowledge is not sufficient to pro-
tect them from fallacious arguments
of statesmen who advocate the pro-
motion of new companies to "stimu-
late production"
The practice of exchanging stocks
for Liberty Bonds is specifically dis
approved by the Treasury Depart
ment, both because of the danger to
the small bond holder and the con-
version of Liberty Bonds into a
paper currency.
The Treasury Department is COM
PEELED to characterize any continu-
ance of it as an act unfriendly to
the government.
If any such cases come to your
notice, please advise the Central
Committee, or your local bankers,
promptly, giving name of company

SOVIET GOVERNMENT IN RUS
STA IN SERIOUS PLACE

LONDON. August 15.-Premier
Lenine and his chief assistant, Leon
Trotzky, have fled to Kronstadt, the
naval base near Petrograd, according
to dispatch sent out by the semi
official Wolff Bureau, of Berlin, and
printed in Zurich newspapers, says
a Havas report from Paris.
The position of the Soviet Govern
ment in Russia is considered very
serious by the Moscow correspondent
OF the Tageblatt, of Berlin. He an
nounces that the Czecho- Slovek
forces have increased from $500 to
300, 900, and are being REINFORCED
by Serbians and Cossacks.
The Bolsheviki Government will
shortly leave Moscow for Kronstadt,
the Belin Lokal Anzeiger states.
DR.. Helferich, the German Am
bassador to Russia, has informed the
Soviet Government that he will move
the Embassy from Moscow to Pskov
because he fears for the personal
safety of his staff, says an official
telegram from Berlin. This action,
it is added, was decided upon be.
cause of proclamation of the Social
Revolutionists that they were about
to begin a reign of terror in Mos
cow. Pskov was selected because
conditions in Petrograd are almost
as bad as at Moscow.
Referring to the shifting of the
German diplomatic base in Russia,
the Vossische Zeitung, of Berlin,
says:
"The removal of the German EN-
bassy from Moscow to Pskov sheds a
lurid light of the seriousness of the
political situation on our Eastern
front. Ambassador Helfferich left
the Embassy staff because he feared
his life.
"The state of things he found in
Moscow may be best judged from
the fact that the Soviet Government
of it's own accord relieved him of the
duty of paying the customary official
visit on his arrival to deliver his
credentials. The newspaper plain
lively adds:
Moscow is in the hands of anti.
German elements and the followers
of the Social Revolutionists of the
Left. This would show that the
Bolsheviki rule at Moscow is at ar
end, and this is the case not only
at Moscow, but in the greater part
of Russia, if not in the whole Rus
sian Empire"

KAISER DANCED A JIG
(LondOn Tit-Bits.)


The belief that the Kaiser is either
mad or on the verge of madness will
be confirmed by the account which
Carl Alderman gives of a young
German moving picture operators ex-
perience with that versatile monarch.
Not long ago, it appears, he was
ordered to Belgium to follow and
photograph His Majesty. At Ostend
the Kaiser was walking along the
beach with Admiral Won Schroeder,
who is in command of the German
defenses there. The movie operator
followed him. .
The man had been following the
Kaiser for several days, so His Maj
esty recognized him and ordered him
to put up his camera and prepare to
make a special film. When the cam
era was ready His Majesty danced a
jig, waved the baton he was carrying
and then his helmet, smiled and
shouted greeting to the camera man
then went on along the beach.
When the photographer reached
Berlin and showed the film to the
censors of the General Staff they
were shocked by the action of the
Kaiser at Ostend. They ordered il
to be cut out of the film because they
did not think it advisable to show
the German people how much thei1
Emperor was enjoying he war"
