LONDON, Feb 20-Russian dis patches state that the Bolsheviks have discovered a nation wide plot fostered by the moderate socialists to over throw the Bolshevik government in Russia.
 This movement had gained consid- erable headway among the Russian people when the Bolshevik discovered the plot.
 Dissatisfaction with the Bolshevik regime, food shortage and the dis organization of industry owing to the Bolshevik policies are supposed to have been responsible for this move ment which is reported to have be- come quite popular among the Rus sian middle class.

WILL WALK OUT

LONDON, Feb 20 The initial count of the referendum vote for general strike of the coal miners in Great Britain shows an overwhelming ma jority of miners to be in favor of a nation wide strike.
 This referendum vote was taken to ascertain the sentiment of the coal miners and others affiliated with their national unions, regarding a general strike to enforce their demands for a reduction of working hours to forty four hours per week.
 Should the operators refuse to grant the demands of the strikers, and a general walkout followed, at least five hundred thousand miners will lay down their tools, not in- cluding those workers who are in- directly dependent upon the miners. A strike if of even short duration of such magnitude by the coal miners would paralyse all industry in Great Britain completely and would result in an enormous financial loss and great suffering by the people.
 The government being aware of the serious consequences such a strike would have, is expected to bring pressure to bear upon the mine oper- ators to adjust their differences ami cably.

PARIS. (By mail.)-Some of the
suppressed stories of the peace-mak-
ing are worth the telling.
There was the time, for example,
that M. Pichon, French secretary for
foreign affairs, told the assembled
correspondents on a Sunday in the
very Quai d'Orsay room where the
big ten had it's daily meeting, that
the league of nations could not be
embodied in the preliminary peace
pact.
Pichon's statement, given out for
publication, was strangely missing
from all the Paris press next morn
ing.
Inquiry revealed that three or four
deputy chiefs of the various delega-
tons had spent a busy night rushing
by auto from n peace sanctum, to
another until a program of suppress
sion had been arranged and then
rushing from one French authority
to another until all of the
censorship lid had been riveted down
upon the Pichon interview.
Then there was the period when
the French press turned the repre-
sentatives of the American and Brit
ish press green by the remarkable
of it's accounts of the big
ten and, sometimes, big four, con-
~versations. AS printed. nobody was
quoted, but it became known that

presented as their own RAJ simply

NEW YORK, May 2.-If Tex
Richard stages his Willard Dempsey
fight on July 4 he must name the
on Sunday, which is not likely.
Articles of agreement signed by
Richard and the two boxers stipulate
that the battle-ground must be named
sixty days before the date of the
mill. Therefore the date will have
to be advanced from Independence
day if a site is not obtained. Some
pugilistic followers have chung
to the belief throughout the
period Of waiting that Akron,
Ohio, or some other Ohio city would
be selected for the encounter. Ohio
has permitted boxing for some time
and has seen two championship
bouts of importance within recent
years, to say nothing of numerous
scraps within the state between Jack
Britton and Ted Lewis when either
held the welterweight title. The
game has been conducted there on
such a high plane that little opposi-
ton would be found.
However, it may be stated with
certainty that Ohio will not be named
for the battle-ground unless absolute
assurance is given Richard that no
interference will come from state
authorities. He has declared he will
not again take chances Of having to
move his arena on short notice as
was the case when he matched Jack
Johnson and Jim Jeffries for a Cali
fornia battle.
