b0LSHEvISM IS OBTAINING HOLD
 IN SCANDINkvIA

London, Oct 20-(By the A. P.)- A strong Bolshevik elemaF in Nor wegian NSocialistic circles is reported by a Scandinavian correspondent of Common Sense. one Of the widely read London weeklies. He writes that the Left-Socialists in Norway stand without reserve on the side of the Russian Bolsheviki At the last general election they boiled 250,00O votes and won 52 seats. One of their leaders, Egede Nissen, says the cor respondent. visited Moscow where he "sat at Lentne's feet.'
 ''The programme is openly revoIu- tionary," adds the correspondent 'tthe leaders even rejecting reforms which are in their own program once these reforms promise to be attainable by parliamentary means. An instance is the eight hour day reform which was promised in the Kings speech at the last Storthing opening, but which, under the inspiration of the Left-So- cialists the workmen set about req lizing by direct action," knocking off work an hour before the customary time without giving their employers notice.
 Similarly the Left-Socialists repu- diate the wage agreements and last
 
 50,o00 workmen expired they op- posed 2 renewal and urged the work men to seize the factories In parti- cular they opposed a renewal of the customary clause, the employer controls and distributes work
 Naturally the party is strongly an- ti-nlilitaristic; some months ago it formally ordered the constitution of Soldiers Soviets by all men liable for army service. The Moderate So- cialfst leader Ltan, was obliged to swallow this demand but he made the qualification that the Soldiers So- viets should go no further than pre- venting the employment of the mili- tary against workmen.
 Many of the Left-Socialist news papers are extremely aggressive; they support without reserve all actions of the Moscow Soviets and of the extra ordinary commission for combating counter revolution

Invite Pacific Coast Folks to Air Views
 on Ship Allowance

Washin gton, Nov. 17.-Judge Barton Payne. chairman of the United States Shipping Board. says that he will be glad to hear ar" statement which the Pacific Coast interests have to make in regard to the allocation of more vessels to the trade of that region. He has adopted no preconceived pol icy as to the number of ships neces- sary to accommodate the traffic, he states, and will approach the requests of representatives of the six cities with an open mind.
 It is probable that the conference with the Pacific Coast men will be held about December 4, as that is the date which has been suggested by them. The cities of San Francisco, Seattle, Tacoma, Los Angeles, Port land and San Diego have decided to unite in making a demand for the al location of greater number of Ship ping Board vessels to the trade of the Pacific Coast. It is understood that they are anxious to get the service of a number of the former German ships to ply between the Western ports and Hawaii, the Philippines and the Far East.
 In making this request for larger tonnage, the cities interested are said to have put aside individual claims and will work for the benefit of all the West Coast ports. They consider that their views will have greater weight when presented in this man. ner. Their message asking for the conference has been received by Judge Payne here.
 4 summary of al1ocations made by the Shipping Board shows that 13 ves- sels, aggregating 60,O00 tons, are now in the trans-Pacific Hawaiian trade, r vessels of S5,G00 tons are in the Philippine trade and five vessels of 36, GOO tons are going to Australia, New Zealand and New Guinea.
 l This makes a total of 35 ships of ISL .Oe0 tons engaged in trans-Pacific ping Board fleet of about 1900 ships of more than s,o0O,OoO deadweight tons.
 In connection with the demands of the Pacific Coast, it is interesting to note that within the last week a rep resentative of Australian farmers has been in Washington to secure the ser- vices of a large feet for their coun- try, on the grounds that the number of British and American ships now in the Australian trade is not sof1cient for the needs. No decision has been reached on his application.
 Among some of the big officials of the Shipping Board there has been a sentiment for some time that the American shipping strength on the Pacific should be increased. Accord ingly the stand of the Western cities will have backing in Washington. The delegates who are to arrive here have not yet, 1t is understood, presented their views as to the exact amount of l tonnage which they want allocated.

What is the root of the reason we love to have our picture taken? Is it vanity? Is 1t a lurking fear that we are getting on," and we think we had better know it?

GERMAN LEADER SAYS HE WAS
 TREATED FINE

Berlin, Nov. 17-Dr. Karl Muck. formerly conductor of the Boston i Symphony Orchestra, says he was ac- corded altogether worthy treatment during his sixteen months internment as an enemy alien in the United returned to Berlin from Copenhagen after leaving the interment camp at Fort Orglethorpe, Ga.
 | q was directing the Boston Sym phony Orchestra when the war broke out,' Dr. Muck said to a reporter of the Berlin Tageblatt. For sometime I was unmolested, even after America entered the conflict. In March, 1918, however, I was interned, my wife re- mained in our house in Boston, and I was sent to the prison camp, where was confined with 4,500 other per- sons. The treatment and shelter were altogether worthy. The food was not to be complained of, especially as 120 people, including myself, had their own mess and their own cook. My wife was permitted to visit me once a week, and spend two hours with me, naturally talking in English and in the presence of an officer"
 Dr. Muck said he had not lost many of his friends in America and that his
 
 He attributed his imprisonment to ''hysteria" which, he said. was due to British propaganda"
 ''No conditions were imposed on the prisoners said Dr. Muck, "but it was urgently suggeated that any who wanted to leave America and re- turn to Germany might have their liberty. l did not want to comply with this stipulation. but my wife argued me into it and I finally agreed. And so one day I was free. My bank account and my house in Boston the Ara erican government has confls- cated, and I do not know how things will come out.''
 Dr. Muck said he had made no plans for the future but that under no circumstances would he remain in Berlin. He said it was possible he might go to Switzerland or to Gratz, Austria, where his wife's aged mother lives. On his first day in Berlin he led the rehearsal for the next Vein gartner Symphony concert.

PLEADS FOR LIBERAL
 VIEW IN INDUSTRIES
Pres. Coolidge Declares Reac- ton Is Evident-Prof. ChiS- holm of Tuskegee Speaks Before Unitarian Club.

Boston, Nov 15.-Greater tolera- ton toward new and liberal ideas and the granting of some of the fruits of the war for democracy for the ne gro were the most serious notes touched upon last evening at the Uni tartan Clubs first dinner of the sea- son at Hotel Somerset.
 J. Randolph Coolidge, Jr., presi- ident of the club, pleaded for the first and Prof. Frank P. Chrisholm of Tuskegee Institute, Ala, former assistant to Booker T. Washington urged the justice of the second, in view of the fact that negroes, while comprising one-tenth of the total po- pulation of the United States made up IS per cent. of the Army in the late war;
 Chairman Coolidge spoke of "a marked triumph of reaction" at pre- sent; of that comfortable state of mind leading men to say: I'm all right; why should anyone else be disturbed?"
 'sThe reaction from the war" he said, has brought a strong ascen- dency of conservatism, tending to- ward suspicion, toward new ideas, and, organized demonstrations n fla vor of new ideas.
 we small see the TlSHl duJuSl- ment of the disputes between capi- tai and labor, but it will only come through full and fair discussion. It won't be helped by a oppressive ten- dency due to temporary triumph of reaction, distrustful of the con- mon sense of the American people.
 '"The conservative, stand-pat ele- ,ment does not need to formulate program. The Unrred States was made by a constructive policy of lib- eral tendency and that Is our great need today. We need more partial and tolerant attitude and a broaden ing of our sympathy toward race of different origin than our own.">
 Prof. Chisholm spoke of the Tus- kegee service flag containing 1700 stars, of the institute having taken up SS5,000 worth of the fourth bond issue, characterized the negroes as a race as always conservative and loyal to their Government, and declared that of the 725 lynchines of negroes during the last II years, only per cent. involved any pretense of having been due to attacks on when.
 Asserting that the negro stands for law and order and that he feels he has right to enJoy some of the rights of democracy, he bespoke Of the influence of all good men to see that he gets what is due him.
 He suggested that great supply of needed skilled labor may be had among the negroes if proper trade schools are established to train them.
 Rev. Charles W. Casson of Sosin- dale Unitarian Church read a sermon, for which he was awarded a prize of 5000 at the recent Laymen's con- ference in Baltimore. It's lesson was that religion should teach men to think, as mob rule is the rule of the minimizing and 1t is the antithesis Of democracy.
 Dr. Archibald T. Davidson, profess sor of music at Harvard, read a pa- per on Protestant Church Music in America 80 per cent. of which he declared '.out-and-out bad" His remedy would be putting church mu- sic in charge of the pastor, who should be educated with view to fitting him for the responsibiIity.

 emigration of thousands of anti-Ar- menian Tartars from this district Convinced by a widespread rumor that American troops were coming to
 protect Armenia, the Tartar -persecu- tors of that race are emigrating in droves.
 The largest single group of these emigrants is a caravan of 6,000 per sons, comprising the population of fourteen Tartar villages On the south west slope of Mount Alaghaz, which is now encamped along the railway line on the border of Turkey at Echmiadzin. awaiting permission to enter the Sultan's domain. More are on the way, firm in the belief that the
 American Army is on its way to Asia
 Minor to punish all those who perse- cuted the Armenians.
 The rumor has had a salutary eff | feet upon the precarious situation of
 Armenfans living amongst the Tar l tars. Under Turkish rule the Tartars
 have been the widest, most uncon- trolled tribes. Up to the present they 1 feared no one.

INTERSTATE FAIR.

The movement to include in the fair to be held
at Moline exhibits from Baldwin county, Escam-
bia county, Ala, and Santa Rosa county as well
as Escambia county, Florida, is of much impor
lance to this section.
The possibilities of such a fair demon
strated during the life of the Interstate Fair
Association, which successful beyond the
expectations of even the most sanguine, and
which proved beyond peradventure, the feasibili-
ty of such plan.
The first important fair movement in this i'm
mediate part of West Florida included the coun-
ties of Santa Rosa and Walton, well as Escam-
ba, and the fair such success in every way
that it was extended to include Baldwin county,
making it an interstate fair.
The tri-county fair came out a little better
than even, all debts paid, and few hundred dol
lars in the treasury. The first interstate fair
was great success as a fair, but failure fl
nancialy The following year, however, every
debt of that year paid, all Indebtedness
which had been left over from the previous year
was liquidated, and there slight surplus,
besides the fair buildings and much valuable
terial.
Had it not been for the war, there is little
doubt but that the Interstate fair would have
continued and thai through it this section would
have been widely advertised and the develop
ment of agriculture would have been greatly pro-
NOTED.
The movement for bigger and better fair is
one which should have the support of every
farmer and business man of the counties inter-
ested. 1t will do more than promote agriculture,
it will draw together farmers and business men
and create friendly rivalry which will mean
much for growth.
