with cities, as with individual families.

Says League Of Nations
Means More War

In a speech before the United
States Senate Monday, Senator John
son, Republican of California, while
discussing the Covenant of the
League Of Nations, said in part as
follows:
1T is not league Of nations to
prevent war In its very creation
it has been stripped Of every ideal
istic purpose it ever had. It con-
tains within itself the germs Of many
wars, and worse than that, it rivets,
as in the cast of the Shantung de-
cision, the chains of tyranny upon
many people and cements for all
time unjust and wicked annexations.
1t is a great world economic trust
wherein few men, sitting in secret,
may control the economic destinies
of peoples. It is not a league Of
peoples. nor does it anywhere con-
Germ itself with peoples. !. This is
not league to promote peace but
to protect power.

Motor Mechanics Wanted
for Marine Corps

Have you had experience in repair
ing motors etc. if so the Marine
Corps Aviation Section can use your
services. Lieut.. D. B. Jones, Jr.. Of
ficer in charge of the Marine Corps
Recruiting Station 6l7 Common St.,
New Orleans, La, has just received
order to enlist motor mechanics for
the Aviation Section. E
And here is something good for
the discharged soldiers and marines
re-enlist and be sent to France for
special limited service; which means
that you will take the place of the
Marines now there, and that as all
troops are to be withdrawn this fall
you will be discharged as soon as you
return to the United States.
Then the Marines are in need of
healthy young men between eighteen
and forty years of age, who will have
an opportunity to visit all the princi-
pal points in the world as the Ma
rines serve on land and sea.
The local postmaster has been au-
thorized by the Marine Corps to ac-
cept all applications for enlistment
in this branch of the service, and
Lieut.. Jones will be glad to give fur
ther information to all who will
write him.

than that. he fears not only universal
suffrage. but STILES even individual
expressions of criticism. For that
purpose he has re-introduced in ST.
IBERIA the famous Article 12o of the
Cars criminal code. That Article,
providing for long terms of imprison-
ment for offending remarks about the
person of the Car. has now been
made to refer to Kolchak, the Su-
preme Governor"
Mr.. Zilboorg is not Bolshevist,
in fact he was member of Keren-
sky's Provisional Government which
the Bolsheviks ousted. His state
ment therefore seems worthy of se-
rious consideration. There has been
much agitation in certain American
circles for the speedy recognition OF
Kolchak. Perhaps the Allied Gov
ernments at Paris are wise in delay
ing such recognition until it is clear
whether Admiral Kolchak's regime
is really worthy of such recognition.
Bad as the present situation is
throughout Russia return to the old
autocratic regime of Czarism is un-
thinkable. Russia needs and Russia
must have a truly representative
government for her people. No other
Russian government can ever, in
good conscience, be recognized by
America or the Allies.

ceived rising vote of endorsement
by the jury and the feasibility of fl
nancing the work upon completion of
the demonstration was taken under

! With five years of careful labu,

preacher in Louisiana will make the
trip and there study the missionary
needs of the work at first hand.
There he will see China, the Chinese
live in their native heath and in
native attire; there will be Africa
just like it is in the jungles, and the
jungles will be there; there will be
the tenement section Of the great
city with its crowded streets and
even with its attendant filth and ut
er misery; and here will be the mill
town, the mountain town and the log
cabin of the piney woods. In this
way preacher in a week will be able
to know more of the missionary
needs of the world than he could
learn from books in ten years.
How all the Methodist preachers
of Louisiana are to make the trip is
matter that is being worked out
by Rev. N. E. Joyner, Missionary
Secretary Of the Louisiana Confer
.ence, Hon. T. w. Holloman, execu-
tive Secretary. and F. E. Cunter,
Campaign director Of the Missionary
Centenary in Louisiana. With far
sighted vision. leading Methodists of
every section are being impressed
that it is to the vtlfare Of the local
congregation that its pastor have this
trip and education. The preacher is
able to go, stay a week and return
for $50, and each congregation in the
state is planning to put the purse
in the hands of its pastor and send
him.

GOVERNMENT OF RUSSIA

At this distance it is difficult for
the American observer of interna-
tional affairs to make up his mind
about the proposed recognition by
the Allies of the Kolchak govern
ment of Russia. known as the Omsk
Government. For some time there
have been rumors that as soon as
peace is declared with Germany, the
Allies would recognize Admiral Kol-
chak as the head of the defacto
government Of Russia, as opposed to
the Soviet or Bolshevik rule of Le-
nine and Trotsky. The latest re-
port is that Kolchak is to be recog-
nized as the head Of all mon Bolshe-
vik Russia"
The reports about Admiral Kol-
chalk and his intentions are widely
conflicting. The Bolshevik support
ers say that he is reactionary and
tyrannical and represents the old
Cossack spirit of Russia; anti-Bol-
shevik supporters Of Kolchak point
to the fact that the political affairs
Of the Omsk government rest in the
hands Of Council Of Ministers, Who
represent the most advanced liberal
opinion of Russia. Among these
Ministers are Senator Peter V. Vol
ogotsky, president Of the council
who is Socialist and was arrested
and cxilcd under the Czarist regime.
Sapojni. minister of Public Instruc-
tion, belongs to the party of the
Peoples Socialists. Mikhailoff, min
lister Of justice. Shumilovshv, min
lister Of Finance. Starynkevitch, min
lister Of labor all belonged to liber-
al groups and have suffered arrest
and persecution under the late Cars
regime.
I'VE must also assume, apparently.
that even the Siberian population
does not willingly support the gov
ernment of Kolchak, but constitutes
instead dangerous element of prob
able opposition, whose free voice the
Admiral dare not trust. And more

Natives Of Guam Still
Retain Punch Bowl

Washington. June 6.-The drinking
of punch in the Island of Guam has
been taboo for several months, but
the natives still retain the punch
bowl.
This startling bit of information
has been transmitted to the United
States by Pvt. Fred G. Taylor Of
the U. S. Marines, now stationed in
the American possession in the South
Seas, who found the punch bowl
without the help of an excise officer.
Taylor and some other Marines
were wandering down a deserted
Spanish highway, leading through the
.jungles, and chanced- to approach a
leper colony, maintained by the gov
ernment on the island. Some native
women were extracting juice from
cocoanut trees for the purpose of al
lowing it to ferment and become
"toddy"
Nearby was the Devils Punch
Bowl. which Taylor describes as =
centraption in the ground about
twenty feet across at the top and bot
tom. and 100 feet deep, but bullying in
the centre to about 100 feet"
