IN CONTROL OF
'LAWLESS BANDS
Bolshevik Leaders in Russia
Arrest Sailors "To Kill
Prisoners"

Paris, Sept. 16.-Bolshevik leaders
In Russia are compelled to practice
strategy in order to control the law
less elements they use as official ex-
ecutioners of the sentences pro-
nounced by the Soviet tribunals.
One instance occurred in the arrest
of 15 sailors who had been employed
in this way by Djerjinsky and Peters
who have been described as "the ter
Eor men of Petrograd." The sailors
had become obstreperous but as they
were heavily armed they were not
expected to submit docilely.
So they were ordered to Boutirky
Jail ito execute prisoners" of the
Bolsheviki. They entered the yard
gaily and were marched to inner en-
closures where the officers left them
to fetch the condemned men.
Soon the executioners discovered
that machine guns menaced them
from every window and the warder
ordered them to surrender. Realiz-
ing their nelplessness they threw
away their weapons and were
marched into the jail where they
made the day hideous with their
threats and cries.

PACKERS HEAD
DEFENDS TRADE
Wilson Declares Industry In
vites Investigation of
Its Business

Atlantic City. N. j., Sept. 16.-A
vigorous defense of the packing in
dustry was made here at the OPEN
ing session of the first annual con-
vention of the Institute of American
Meat Packers by Thomas e. Will
son, president of Wilson & Com,
pany, of Chicago, recognized SpokeS-
man for the packers.
Mr.. Wilson said the packers IL
vited a thorough investigation of
the packing industry, declaring the
latter had nothing to fear, but OH
the contrary would do everything to
facilitate such an investigation.
I'VE find ourselves confronted
with a conflict that is striking at the
very vitals of our undertakings"
declared Mr.. Wilson. Ignorance Of
truth in connection with our opera
tions has made the public sus-
ceptible to being misled through
uniformed sources, and this has re-
suited in creating suspicion and
criticism that if permitted to con-
tinue unnoticed could early result IN
wrecking both branches of the ILL
dustry, livestock production and
meat packing"
chairman of the executive commit
tee, in his report said there was de-
veloping among the lawmakers in
Washington a feeling that some sort
of extra legal control must be ap-
piled to the meat industry. Just
what is meant by control is not
| clear" he declared. Certainly the
bills now being discussed are ex-
tremely paternalistic in nature, hazy
as to their details and, we think.
pregnant with great danger to all
industry"
Mr.. Ogden said there were enough
laws already in existence to curb
any possible misbehavior on OUT
part"

Long Trains of Freight Cars
Are Filled With These
People

Warsaw, Sept. 16. - All through
the quiet portions of Poland are to
be seen long trains of freight cars
filled with the displaced population
of the troubled regions. They are
the human flotsam from Russia,
homeless some of them for years
and in many cases hundreds of miles
from their home.
On the grass and weedgrown sid
ings these long trains dot the coun-
try side. Scanty and ragged wash
ing flies from the nearby bushes
and on improvised stoves or open
fires on boxes of sand they cook such
meager food as foraging or charity
either of the villages or government
gives them. Generally they are
wretchedly clothed, the children Of
ten being half naked.
Many of these refugees are try
ing to get back to their homes in
the freed regions, but many more
are simply milling" about aimlessly,
having long ago abandoned hope.
Now and then locomotive will drag
hem slowly somewhere, so these
floating ana pitiable people drift
about Poland and face the rigors of
nearing winter.

EASTERN EUROPE
WASSTRIPPED OF
CATTLE IN WAR
Goat Now Takes Place of Cow
as the Provider of
Milk

Prague, Sept. 16.-The goat is talk
ing the place of the COW as a milk
provider in Czecho-Slovakia. The
armies which battled in Eastern Eu-
rope stripped this land of its horses
and four terrible years of war al
most exterminated it's cattle. Every
where is felt the lack of facts even
in regions which formerly produced
enormous quantities Of dairy pro-
ducts.
Formerly only the very poor re-
sorted to the goat as source of
milk but now these animals are neen
everywhere herded singly and in
flocks by children and old persons.
They are cheap. mature and repro
duce quickly and furnish nutritious
milk.
|, The absence of horses and oxen
is evident everywhere. The harvest
is on as this is being written and in
the fields the men and women are
gathering grain and dragging
wagons. Although this section was
untouched by actual battle the alb
sence of live stock in the fields and
pastures and the smokeless stacks of
hundreds of factories show the
blighting effects of the great war.

It was a Misfortune that led Pearl
White, the new Fox film star, who
soon is to appear in ''Tiger's Cub"
into motion pictures. She was seek
ing a career with a well-known stock
company when she contracted laryn-
gitis-and Just at a time when she
was attaining success. Her doctor
recommended complete rest for her
voice.
Miss White saw her career van
ishing. but did not despair. Instead.
she went to n motion picture pro-
Queer and asked for q chance in the
cinema world. This manager, think
ing she was country girl who had
been reading a novel, advised her to
return to her mother. She finally con-
vtnced him that she was not entirely
an amateur, and was given a minor
part in picture. 1t took but a short
time to prove that she was far from
an amateur, and before long Miss
Whites name appeared IN electric
lights as well as in the hearts of

The old world changes as 1t swings
along its way!"
But a robin came a-singing in the
sunshine's golden glow,
He sang the song the robin sang O

The flower that came blossoming to
make a summer show
Was blooming just as flowers did a
thousand years ago.
The breeze, all perfume laden as it
whispered soft and slow,
Was whispering as the breezes did a
thousand years ago.
The moonbeam shining far across

Was shining just as moonbeams did

Just like the old days. in spite of

It's the same old world that goes
