of the East Lake management and seeing
that it was a great success, other NUM-
cipal pleasure parks all over the country
have set aside one day each week as
kiddies day.
The plan originated with Manager Hugh
Hill and he states that each Wednesday
afternoon, between the hours of and 5
O'clock, thousands of Riddles assemble at
the park, and with their coupons, clipped
from the advertisements appearing in the
local papers the children get free rides
on every riding device in the park.
This offer has been open all summer to
children under 10 years of age, and the
management announces that the plan will
continue in force until the park closes
its summer season in September
This is one of the most generous offers
ever made by any parkW. and it all goes

deely and apparently hopelessly in debt;
taxes are enormously high, many have
lost much of their material wealth as a

The British people in common with

BoLSHEVIK RIVALRY

Russian Bolshcvism IS beginning to
get jealous. Leninc cannot brook a ri
val. lie has issued n proclamation in
which n" makes an attack upon Bella
Kun and Budapest, which certainly is
iIlurninative Of the Bolshevist mind.
The arch Bolshcyist says:
budapest cannot become the centre
Of world revolution.
Moscow remains the only centre OF
the social revolution and all other CEN
tres must obey Moscow.
The Hungarian revolution has deeply
disappointed Russia. for which Bella
Kun Is most Of all to blame"
In other words MdAcow IS the center
Of the only genuine DolshcyA regime
in the world and Lenine is It's prophet.
There is something amusing about the
Inconsistency Of mon who preach dcmoc-
racy only TO make democracy the engine
Of their autocratic power. The whole
Russian Soviet government Is class
government pure and simple, a govern
mont from which all mon of education,
rank and property are absolutely cx-
Guided; a government solely BY the ir-
responsible mob. but even this irrcspon-
sible mob does not intend to allow its
authority and its position to be shared
by another. Budapest must be cowcd
and Bella Kun must be subordinatcd.

great part OF southeastern Europ" came
under Turkish control and until the
present day the Turk has been factor
IN European politics and European
affairs For tho past ono hundred years
the Turkish Empire has been CrumhlinG.
Little by little Austria and Russia nave

liberty. The independent states Of the
Balkans have been set up. and the first

more than half Of tho territory that WAS
