SAYS RUSSO GERMAN
 PAPERS ARE FORGER|Es

these documents had references to the period after the Bolshevist revolution The documents are the same which MT Sisson now is publishing
 MT Robins undertook to investi- gate the matter. Among others he visited MT Halpern, who in July and August, 1917, prosecuted Trotsky on behalf of the Kerensky government. MT Halpern admitted that he mad many of these documents at his dis posal last July, but they turned out to b. forgeries, and could not be used against the Bolsheviki. Through Gili- gent inquiries from other sources Col Robins became convinced trGt the rest of the documents as well. in so far as their relation to activities of the Soviets were concerned, we .n un- reliable.
 'In addition to that, Colonel Robin being in close touch with the situa- ton from day to day, personally knew
 
 ments simply could not be true. Hav- ing become convinced that the docu- ments were false, Colonel Robins paid no further attention to them. He tucked them away with other doc umentary curiosities.
 Some time in the first weeks of 1918, Edgar Sisson made his entrance on the Russian stage. MT Sisson, for merly editor of the Hearst Cosmopoli- tan Magazine, was sent to Russia to investigate rumors of the alleged pro- Germanism of the Bolsheviki and to spread American propaganda in Rus sia. He used to visit the office of the American Red Cross in Petrograd, which was the center of the Allied ac- tivities in Russia and at one time he was willing to share Colonel Robins opinion that there was no foundation in the accusations of pro- German leanings of the Bolsheviki.
 "Then on a certain day, Mir Sisson, while in Colonel Robins office, got hold of the above mentioned forged documents. He took them away, and the next day he returned, demanding from Colonel Robins an explanation why those documents had not been communicated to the American Gov ernment MT Robins explained to MT Sisson the real nature of the material and warned him against becoming too enthusiastic about it. He suggested however, that MT Sisson should con duet an investigation of his own re- garding the material, so that no doubt would remain about it's real nature. A few days later Mir Sisson returned to MT Robins, expressing to MT Rob ins his readiness to admit that the documents were quite unreliable
 In spite of that fact, MT Sisson, ac- cording to the head of the Finnish Information Bureau, cabled the con tents of the documents to the United States Government, being later criti- cized by Mayor Thatcher of the Amer ican Rer Cross however, for the man ner in which he handled the whole matter.

FREE SPEECH

THShE OtEECn
 Right down the ages the Ruling Class has opposed freedom of discus sion among the workers. Down with discussion" has been the number One plank in the platform of every auto crat and despot since humans have been able to talk and write.
 The plutes of Egypt, Babylon, Greece and Rome prevented discus sion among the slaves, without re- spect to either creed or color. Early Christianity saw men crucified or stoned to death because, in the opin- ion of the Rulig Class of that time. they talked overmuch with their fel- .ow man.
 The baroRs and overlords of the Feudal Age knew the danger of free speech, and made bonfires with the bodies of their victims as a method of enjoining silence. And the Ruling Class Of today seeks to prevent the mass of the people from enjoying the full freedam of speech, of presee and assemblage.
 WHY!
 Why does the Ruling Class object to freedom of speech among the work ers?. Why does free press bring the cold sweat of terror to the brows of the autocrats? Why does free assemblage strike fear into the hearts of the despots. What have they to fear,
 Is it that by free discussion the workers may discuss wrongs and seek to right themA Is it that freedom of discussion will clear the air of doubt lies humbug, cant and hypocrisy, and explode the false teachings of the Cunning Few? Is it that with free dom of discussion the despots scent disaster waiting for them around the cornor?
 If the Ruling Class--the despots and autocrats, and those who safe guard their vested interests-have a righteous and holy cause to pursue in life, what have they to fear? For isn't it the simplest of logic that | those who are in the right have all to gain and nothing to lose by free- dom of discussion?
 But the same memorable logic those who are in the wrong have everything to lose and nothing to win by freedom of discussion. The Gun ming Few know the danger of free speech, a free press, and free assem- blaze only too well. They know that, possessing these rights, the leaders of the proletariat can dry up the swamps of ignorance in the minds of the work CTS, and force Despotism, Capitalism and False Patriotism to stand naked for the demnable and rotten trinity it is-to be destroyed as soon as it has been distinctly visualized by the un- fortunate class it has so pitilessly bled ano ruined.
 The Master Class, and the political sycophants who do it's work, know that with freedom of discussion the brains of the workers are no longer logged allowing them to see clearly what stands between them and com plete freedom.
 It is not without reason, indeed, that the iron fist of Despotism is ever ready to bruise the lips and stultify the mind of Democracy.-Th Aus tralian Worker

CHdTSInB LndL the uOcuul6nLS HOW being issued by the Committee on public Information to prove that Lenine and Trotsky were German agents, were "brazen forgeries," S. Nuorteva, head of the Finnish In- formation Bureau, made a statement in which he declared that the docu- ments in question were not discovered by Edgar Sisson, representative in Russia for the Creel Bureau, but were obtained by him from Raymond Robins of the American Red Cross, then in Petrograd, who left them in Sissons hands, with the warning that they had been found to be fabrica- tions.
 Both MT Creel and MT Sisson de- nied MT. Nuotevos story and declared that all the documents were entirely authentic.
 According to MT. Nuorteva, Col. Robins, assisted by William B Thompson and Mayor Thatcher, all of whom are connected with the American Red Grass, investigated the statements contained in the docu- ments after all of them had been re- ceived from Russian counter-revolu- tionists who were eager to secure the overthrow of the Bolshevist govern ment at any cost. MT. Nuorteva said that some of the documents were in the hands of the Kerensky govern ment in 1917, but the officials of that government, finding that they were forgcries de>ided to make no use of them,
 Even Mr Ssson, according to MT. Nuorteva, agreed at one time that they were quite unreliable.
 These revelations age ba&d. on brazen forgeries and the monstrous falsity of this entire attempt to dis credit the Russian statesmen is ob vious," said MT Nuorteva. "I am enabled to give the following facts which you can corroborate by in quiries to Colonel Raymond Robins, Colonel William B Thompson, and Mayor T. Thatcher, all connected with the a nmerican Red Cross When the November revolution occurred in Russia and the Allied embassies re- fused to hold official diplomatic re- lations with the new Russian govern ment, MT Robins, who was head of the American Red Cross Mission in Rus sia, with the consent of the Amer ican Am mbassador to Russia, became the man who unofiicially yet quite extensively was in touch with the Russian government, presenting to it the wishes of the Allies with first hand information from the Soviets.
 Some time in January, 1918, cer- tain Russian counter-revolutionist who were interested vitally in dis crediting the Soviet statesmen sent to Colonel Robins q series of docu- ments purporting to show sordid rela- ions between the German imperialists and the Soviets Some of these docu- ments were of a series which was in the hands of the Kerensky govern ment about July IT, at the time when that government was vitally interest ed in convicting Trotsky and Lenine as German agents.

toys, there are at least comfortable

all-at home a man is cock of the walk.

But for the woman home may be
sweet. but its sweetness is of a differ
ent sort. For one thing, home always
fairly tingles with responsibilities and
it is the exceptional woman who, while
she remains at home, can entirely drop
these responsibilities. Moreover, she
is usually that vigilant somebody who
has planned-or actually prepared-that
toothsome little dinner. Needless to
say, she seldom consults primarily her
own taste, and If she has there is only
a selfish, shallow leasure to be gained
in that sort of meal And there are
usually endless steps to be taken. And
how can womans tired little feet
really relax when they are resting on
the rug that she has vacuum cleaned
that morning, or under a table that has
been set and arranged and must maybe
be cleared with the expense of so many
more steps. If an unusual sound oc-
curs-perhaps Martha in the kitchen,
has smashed one of the dinner plates.

crying? Perhaps nurse has left a pin
in the crib, and nurse is out for the
evening. And so in the household the
housewife listens for every sound. and
every sound seems to be some reminder
TO her that a woman's work is never
done.
But in her club-China may fall and
stu leave her unruffled. And someone
else has planned and cooked luncheon,
and someone else has had to worry over
the crumbs on the dining room rug.
And she meets interesting people of her
own sex. She gets new ideas that she
may bring home. and that Is always a
satisfaction. She is off on a real holt
day, for she is away from the scene of
all her labors and responsibility.
That is why the club where women
may get together and have luncheon,
where they may meet their friends or
bring their friends for tea is gaining
so great popularity In every city these
clubs are rapidly springing into ex-
istence and they do not suffer for
memb ership. Meet me at my club for .

esting than: Meet me at the tea
rooms of So-and-So's department store"
So is it any wonder that women are
more enthusiastic about their clubs
and are. hence, better club members
than are men-when so much pleasure
is to be derived from club membership?

DODSON KILLING

Liver.

Dodson is making a hard fight
against calomel in the south. Every
druggist has noticed a great falling off
in the sale of calomel. They all give
the same reason, Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is
perfectly safe and gives better results
said prominent local druggist. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is personally guaran-
teed by every druggist. A large bot
tie costs but a few cents, and If it fails
TO give easy relief in every case of
liver sluggishness and constipation,
you have only to ask for your money
back.
DUdson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults,
Take a spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or cause in
convenience all the next day like vio-
lent calomel. Take a dose of calomel
today and tomorrow you will feel weak,
sick and nauseated. Don't lose days
work! Take Dodson's Liver Tone in
stead and feel fine. full of vtgor and

Paris exploits the eastern trousered
skirt freely and the women in best So

wear it, and yet there is such a strong
prejudice on the part of the American
man to any kind of skirt that resembles
trousers that woman must adopt the
garment without explaining it and
without giving it name.
1t is ten to one that the most cap

the eastern skirt was trousered. He
would merely find it alluring and al
