Dubuque, May 6.--At a meeting or
the executive committee and the chair
men Of the various other committees
who will conduct the state convention
of Elks, to be held in Dubuque on June
10 and L. plans were formulated which
indicate that the gathering here for the
fourteenth annual meet will eclipse
anything heretofore attempted. In the
first place, it is anticipated that tho
attendance will be larger than at any
previous state convention OF this great
organization. The entertainment OF
visitors will be arranged accordingly.
In addition, it is proposed that the
program shall be such as will satisfy
all o: the guests of the city; fully oc-
cupy their time with official business
and entertainment. and show in no
mistaken terms the proverbial hos
pitality of the Key City. In keeping
with the spirit of many gatherings
during the war and since the armistice
was signed, the patriotic feature will
predominant. There will be parade.
the like Of which has seldom been wit
messed in Dubuque. All Of the local
bands. including the new Dubuque
Municipal Band. will take part, and
there will be separate musical organ
izations from other cities in addition to
those brought with the visiting dele
cations.
Will Award Prizes.
Prizes will be offered for the best
showing made in the parade as to
numbers in attendance and the ap-
pearance Of the delegations. The de-
tails Of the two days program have
not been worked out, but as tenta-
lively arranged the outline is for the
hrsi day 10 be given up principally to
business and the second day to enter
tainment. On Tuesday. June TO- there
will be a reception of all delegations
by Dubuque Lodge No. 297 All in
coming trains will be met by an escort
of local Elks, accompanied by band.
All delegates will be escorted direct
to the Elks' home. at Seventh and Lo-
+, Gust streets, where all will register

ouQue's beautiful lodge room. In the
evening there will be band concert
and dance in the Elks' auditorium
Starting at 1890 a. m. on Wednesday

judging by the reports of the probable
attendance, will be greater than the
turnout at any state convention ever
held in Iowa. A picnic lunch and sup
per has been arranged for the after
noon and evening Of the second day.
In addition there will be card parties
auto trips and boat rides for the visit
ing E,lkS and ladies'.

OF what was left Of the aRussian army
perhaps with the idea that this ap.
pointment would destroy the few sound
elements left In Its ranks. The lawyer
Koxloysky was a Polish Jew with .
shady reputation and an inordinate
ambition. Then there was Zina An
tonoff, another Jew. who was later on
to hold different important positions
one after another and whose political
ideas consisted in thinking that the
old order OF society ought to be swept
away at one stroke to make place for
new. in which everybody whotfelt the
desire to appropriate to himself the
property OF his neighbor could do so
without fear OF being prevented from
putting his pious longing into execu-
ton. There was NJ. Adolphe Joffc.
who spoke openly of the day when he
would become Russian ambassador Id
Berlin, the oniy place TO which ho,
wanted TO 20. because he had there
so many acquaintances 81 former times
with whom n. would be able to mako
geshaft on hitherto unprecedented
scale owing to his official position.
There was Zinovieff, one of Trotzky's
most faithful lieutenants. who. like so
many Of his co-religionists In this
time of crisis. had adopted Russian
name. Last nut not leas. was Lenines
wife. also of Israelitic origin.
These were the men who betrayed
Russia and for price signed the
treaty OF Brest- Litovsk. We must nos
allow ourselves to think that the wa
with Germany is at an end. Its lnii.
tary attempt 20 conquer has failed
ignominiously. hut the social side which
may prove difficult to suhdue has not
begun False doctrines are far more
dangerous than big guns. What the
German army has lost German social
ism will try 10 win back.
