Just because we are having a mild

as if not better than they left.

If it be so, as he says. that so far
as statistics are available" these re-

and criminal records furnish these In
overwhelming abundance: and your
correspondent need not be in doubt
what the end will be, for the retribu-
ton will fall. not on the innocent, but
upon the guilty, he may be assured.

THE RUSSIAN TANeLE.

There cannot fail to be a certain
amount OF interest in the action taken
by the bolshevists of Russia in agree
ing 10 participate in the conference
which has been arranged to take place
at Princes Islands and the arrange
nents which have been made by the
supreme council of the allies to send a
comm ssion OF ten to meet the soviet
government representatives.
Up to this time the attitude of the
other elements in Russia has been
against entering such conference.
They have taken the stand that they
want nothing to do with the soviet
government, not even to entering a
discussion relative to the settlement
Of Affairs in Russia. They take much
the same attitude that was taken by

itor, we agree with this writer that
just at this time our religious people
and moral combines are not so potent
in the cause of prohibition as they
ought. II they were alive as they
should be, your correspondent would
have had cause by more than one let
ter in The Bulletin to be offended and
nauseated, and the influence of the Of

tail end Of this procession, not hanging
on to the brakes as it is in the p .esenI

Cambridge. Mass. Oct 1S-Three years ago, when Robinson's varsity football team from Brown last c, ne to the stadium for . game with the Harvard College eleven, the Bruron- ians scored three touchdoWns and won, 2I to Q. Last fall, Hobbies s. A. T. c. team beat Harvard, $ to 3. and on this account t0day's en- gagemlnt between Harvard and Brown is likely 10 prove more stren- uous than an ordinary m.d-season meeting.
 It had been hoped that Harvard would be able to try cut it's sLaunch- est -ushline in this game, which will be the last hard contest before the game at Prime ton -hfee weeks hence. However. Centre PAilbin is not yet in shape to stand hard football, and Thursdays injury to Fhinney will keep this veteran W lg out of to lays game and probably several others. The team, however, will have Billy Murray back in the. lineup, although it is by no means certain how long he will be alIoweL to captain his team on the field. The coaches are hand ling him carefully, just as they are Left Guard Clark and Eddie Casey, the brilliant halfback. The ca-ibre of these men being wei known, the coaches attitude is that they do not need a great deal of work in order to be at the top of their game for the November going.
 A shift has been made in the back field since last week, Humphrey, who was doing well at quarterback, hav- ing been placed at the head of the Harvard tandem. Casey will start and so will Rorween. Ryan's work at left end has been good, perhaps better than Phinney's on interfer- ence in the line plays, and Haver- meyer has been coming fast in the middle of the line. Brown has suf> fered some severe losses of players since the Colgate game, but has 8 rugged team.

DEMPSEY WILL

 V1ITHIN MOllTH

New York. Oct. 1S.-Jack Curley, the only known rival of Tex Rickard in promotion of heavyweight cham pionship bouts, says that Jack Demp- sey will be ready to step into the ring again within month. Curley, who is dabbling in lumber right now, thinks that Dempsey will agree to meet Willie AIeehan, the Frisco fat boy. in an eight round bout in New Jersey around Decem Der l. For that mat ter Curley says he had the match all but made when Dempsey asked for more time.
 Dempsey is not making anywhere near the money he expected when he topplel over Jess Willard. Curley says that Dempsey Is dissatisfied with prevailing 9 conditions and is fast real iztn= that ne will have to put on the gloves again if he can hope to get any money out of his title
 Jus now Dempsey is with q circus i1 the Southwest and drawing favor able crowds. but nothing like the jams that Dempsey was told would be on hand.
 Meehan stands the best chance Of getting the first crack at the titlc says Curley. The fact that AIeeh@u holds two decisions over Dempsey ts his most powerful asset
