London, Jan. 10.-There ia wide
divergence Of opinion among English
politicians and newspapers as to the
attitude which the Entente powers
should assume toward soviet Russia.
On the one hand is the view et-
pressed by Sir George Buchanan,
British ambassador to Russia. who
in recent public speech urged that
reinforcements be recruited on a vol
untary basis and be Immediately SEM
to check the Bolsheviki. Sir George
contended that the Allies must no.
desert Russia now and that they
would be untrue to the cause of de-
mocracy If they did not put an end
to the reign Of Bolshevism.
At the opposite pole is Ramsay Nc
Donald and such newspapers as the
Manchester Guardian and London
Daily News, which call for the i'm
mediate withdrawal of all Entente
forces and demand that Great Britain
cease participation in military opera

Strange, H. Fl. Fuson, G. r. Johnson
and M. Solana, went down to the cy-
press timber some seven miles south
west Of Grant last Thursday and came
back early in the afternoon with a

doctors good fortune to get the lucky
shot which brought the coveted game
to earth, and the other fellows say
that Doc was so nervous for a while
afterwards that they thought the
deer had run over him-Melbourne

PROMPT ACTION NEEDED

A dispatch from New York says
that agents Of the department OF JUS
tice report an alarming spread of
Bolshevism in that city. 1t is stated
that agents Of Lenine and Trotzky
have reached that city with a fund of
half million dollars to be used for
propaganda purposes. The depart.
ment of justice has in its possession
card index Of three thousand red
agitators" and these are being
watched. The majority >of these agi.
tators are aliens and could be deport-
ed, but it is feared that their deporta-
ion would strengthen the propaganda
which is said to have already half
million active or passive followers in
New York city.
The thing to do with a nettle is to
pull it up. 1t may stick the hand but
it will not stick less when it has
grown larger. What sense Is there In
merely watching men who are known
to be seeking to overthrow all law
when there is ample law for sending
them out of the country
1t is thought that the deportation
of these men might strengthen their
propaganda. We do not think it
would and we are sure that it would
not strengthen it half as much as a
manifestation Of timidi.y in dealing
with them. And what is to be &C
complished by the delay? Is it in
tended to continue to permit them to
continue their work indefinitely or
even permanently when they could be
deported? Is it intended to let
them continue it for a time before
taking action?
They will gain strength with every
day Of delay They will gain with
every manifestation Of timidity. II
the government is now afraid to en-.
force the law against them will it
dare to enforce it later when they
have doubled or quardrupled their
strength?
There is no use of talking or doing
anything that cannot be done at once.
Every days delay will serve to make
all remedies less effective 1t is prob
able that In few months many more
men will be idle than are idle now
and that many workers will be receiv-
ing smaller wages than they are re-
ceiving now OF course this will
mean there will be more dissatisfac-
ton and more unrest than there Is
now. Now while the country is pros
porous, when practically all the peo-
pie are employed and received coed
pay for their work is the proper time
to settle this question. Later the
men who are Bolsheviki because they
are criminals by nature may be rein
forced by others who are not Grim.

CULTURAL MEASURE BECAUSE
OF AN ATTACHED RIDER.
ALSO THE SUNDRY CIVIL BILL
Proposed Enactment Returned to Ap
proprlations Committee-Veto Of
Latter May Be Accepted BY
Congress Unprotected.

Washington.-The daylight SAVING
law was rescued from repeal by Presi.
dent Wilson's veto of the agricultural
bill.
AT the same time the president also
vetoed the sundry civil appropriation
bill, because, he said, by restricting
funds it crippled the work of rehabili-
tating and restoring disabled soldiers
and sailors to civil life.
The latter veto apparently was 90
ceptsd by congress without contest,
and the sundry civil bill went back
to committee to be reframed.
Veto OF daylight saving, however.
was not accepted so readily. although
the prevailing opinion was that a
necessary two-thirds vote to repass 1t
over the presidents head probably
would not be mustered.
Both bills provide funds for which
agencies OF the government long have
been waiting. They already are
months behind SCHEDULE because they
failed of ordinary passage in the last
congress.
In regard to the sundry civil bill the
president said:
Under the vocational rehabilita-
ton bill, which became law June 81,
1913, the congress has sought to full
fill the expectations Of the country
that their soldier, sailor and marine
disabled Ia the recent war should be
given an opportunity to secure at the
expense and under the fostering care
Of the federal government such train
ing as he needs to overcome the
handicap Of his disability and to re-
sumo his place as civilian able to
earn a living upon something like
equal footing with those whom he
was associated with before he made
his great sacrifice for the honor and
defense OF the country"
