Republican farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1810-1920, 1918-02-01

New York, Jan. S0-John Reed,
newspaper man. magazine writer and
Socialist, together with five others,
editors or contributors to The Masses,
a Socialist publication, were indicted
by the federal grand jury here in
November last for alleged violation of
the spy act. He was in Russia at
the time but through his counsel,
Morris Hillquit, Socialist candidate for
mayor in the recent election, he de-
clared his willingness to return here
to stand trial.
The government complained in
Reeds case of an article appearing
under his name in The Masses en-
titled Knit a Strait Jacket for Your
Soldier Boy"
Assistant United States Attorney
Earl B. Barnes. in charge of the prose-
cution of The Masses case, when in
formed of the probability that Reed
would return here as Russian consul
general, said:
1.-THE government postponed The
Masses trial until April for the specific
purpose of having Reed appear among
the defendants. The postponement
was decided on after Reeds counsel
had shown me a cable message sent
by Reed from Petrograd which de-
clared his intention to leave that city
for New York on Jan. 81. If Reed
keeps his word he should arrive here
late in February or early in March.
Whether his appointment as Rus
sian consul general here might give
Reed immunity from prosecution is a
matter that the federal government
will have to give consideration
The Masses announced today that
Reed had gone to Petrograd as its
correspondent.
Recent cable dispatches from Pc
trograd told of Reed making an ad-
dress before a Bolshevik assembly in
which he announced his intention to
return to America to face the charges
| against him.

PREVENT HOG CHOLERA

The B. A. Thomas Hog Powder has
record of 95 per cent cures of hog
cholera. If you feed your hogs as di-
rected, you need never fear hog chol-
era nor any other hog disease. And
the directions are very simple, just
about what you are doing, plus few
cents worth of B. A Thomas Hog Pow
der in the feed twice a week.
Usually, though, Cholera gets in be-
fore we know it. Then it requires
close attention to each hog-each hog
must be dosed-and if you will dose
them as directed, you will save better
than 80 per cent. If you don't the B.
A. Thomas medicine costs you nothing.
