ROBINS A BOLSHENST?
Francis Says That Former
Red Cross Head Will
Spread Propaganda.

Ambassador David r. Francis. re-
Gently returned from Russia, testified
before the Senate propaganda COM
'mittee Saturday that Raymond Rob-
ins, former head of the American Red
Cross mission in Russia. had come to
the United States as a courier of the
BOlshevist government.
The source of his information is re-
liable, Francis says. Robins is said to
have told an Associated Press cor
respondent that he could bring about
recognition of the Bolshevist govern
ment if he could only get an hours
conversation with President Wilson.
He did not get to see the President.
The BOlsheviki should not be recog-
nized, says Francis. They do not rep
resent 10 per cent of the Russian peo-
pie. They had two objects when they
seized the government: One was to
establish what they termed the rule
of the proletariat and the other was
to help the cause of Germany by fore
ing Russia out of the war;
Lenine was undoubtedly a German
agent, Francis said. Lenine was the
brains of the BOlshevist movement,
Trotsky being merely his tool.

pected to become a large and impor-
tant part of the annual celebration.

S SPORT

When the Kansas Aggie defeated
Kansas in the second game of their
two-game series, she cinched the 1919
Missouri Valley Championship. The
Aggies have two more games yet to
play this year with the Tigers next
Friday and Saturday, but she can lose
both of these and still hold the top
place.
The Aggies have won ten straight
games. They have been very fortu-
nate in their schedule the past week
After Nebraska had the two strenu-
Gus games with Kansas, winning one
and losing the other, the Lincoln team
went farther west to the large Aggie
court and lost both games.
Missouri must win one of these
games this week or Nebraska must
lose one to Grinnel if Missouri comes
in second place. If Nebraska wins
both of her games and Missouri wins
one, the Tigers will hold second place.

ADVOCATES LEAGUE IN SERMON
T. W. Young Believes i'm Idea Because
Reed Is Against IL,

Il believe in the League of Nations
for the enforcement of peace, first, be-
cause Senator Reed of Kansas City is
against it," said DR.. T. w. Young,
pastor of the Baptist Church, in his
Sermon Sunday morning on blessed
Are the Peacemakers."
Doctor Young gave as his other rea-
sons for believing in the League; first,
the fact that it is an honest effort for
reconstruction of the world along new
lines; second, because Wilson, Lloyd
George, Taft, Clemenceau and other
men distinguished for their desire to
better the world are supporting the
league; and third, because even in
its present imperfect form it is an in
finite improvement over anything ever
done before to make peace possible
in the world.
