THAT EGoTIsTIC BOY.

About the most pathetic thing of all

show. Did you ever see this idiot as
he stands around and brags, of how
much booze he can consume and never
get a jag? OF his wonderful hands at
poker. how he cleaned up shooting
craps. OF the girls he knows and
their reputation raps. He thinks he's

knowledge, his wisdom is renown.
He's an egotistic pin-head with a
seven-fifty job, he's always calling up
some girl, as brainless as this lob. He
spends all he makes and is never out
of debt, he never thinks of mother,
her welfare he neglects. He'd rather
chase around, with some foolish girl
at night, than try to learn to be man
and stand up for his right That sort
of boy is a coward, and the world is
very long, if he had to deal with men.
He's all right in his little world, he'll
get along for a while. but there's
day of reckoning, he can't meet it with

And the old world goes merrily on,
they're never missed, they say.

Thirty DAYS TO

Ambassador Morris Reports
Critical Situation.
tBy Tn. Associated Prsss)

sd WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-Ambas-
sador Morris, who was sent by the
state department from Toxic to Omsk
70 report on conditions in Siberia,
has advised the government here that
the next thirty days will probably see
Q crisis in the affairs of the kolchak
government.
Ambassador Morris, in his report,
il was learned today, asserts that
Admiral Kolchak has had to devote
80 much attention to the military cam
paign against the bolshevik that he
has been unable to organize sufficient
ly the civil government and admin
istration in Siberia TO keep the people
contented, but nevertheless kolchak is
the best man for the task confronting
him and that it is question OF hlS
success or the triumph of the bolshe-
wiki.
His Army Numbers 100000.
Lack OF material aid from the allies
has been tremendous handicap for
.bolchak, the report states. and thiS
has led 10 friction between the mill
tary commanders Of the kolchak
forces Admiral Kolchak has called
on his officers whom he cannot re-
place because OF lack ot other com
petents to lead the armies, to sink
'their differences for the sake OF the
icountry and is endeayorng to make
"a determined stand on a new line more
than 100 miles west OF Omsk. His
forces are small, numbering not more
than 100000 men, the ambassador ad-
fvised. ana their equipment is not adc-
.quate.
7 Military authorities in Paris and here
thefe, however, agrees that bo!shevil:i
-are making their last desperate effort
against the kolchak troops and II they
fail this time the soviet government
in Russia will collapse. Officers here
say that the bolsheviki have not
enough men or munitions to handle

those of the educated classes, accord
ing TO reports TO the state department
urge that because Of the recognized
danger OF intervention, Mexico must
at least protect foreign investments
even If she cannot stop the murder OF
foreign citizens.
Dos Carlos Duioo, the eminent
Mexican economist asserts that for
eigp capital is absolutely necessary
to tho development OF Mexico's re-
sources because Mexicans have not
the capital to put into the extensive
enterprises and would not invest, il
they had it. In the face Of these de-
mands, now made publicly and de-
clared to be imperative, Carranra's
official circle has not notion, it is
said. of protecting foreign capital in
Mexico.
