A BASEBALL FANS
 MOST PECULIAR DREAM.

The other night had dream. I dreamed that spring had come in Flagstaff. The robins were blithely singing in the trees, insects were buzz zing, the ground was springy, and in a few places shoots of green grass could be seen poking out from their winter fortresses. Best of all, on vacant lot several punks were playing ball. Oh, joy! It was magnificent -divine-superb-in fact it was all together impossible. Right there I began to suspect that it was a dream and from then on was bit doubtful.
 Al Peck, who has just got back from the army, was knocking up fun goes to the hopefuls in the outfield. Old Gus Dahl was picking them off around first in good shape, while Remedy and Lee Smith were kicking up great fuss around the keystone bag. Some new bird was giving an excellent imitation of Harry Stein feldt at third, and a flock of Cobbs and Speakers were chasing them in the outer gardens. We'll, I began to think, and the more I thought, the worse it got. Here I had been trying to figure out how we could possibly get little baseball interest stirred up in the burg, and I find we had a reg ular league team at moments mo- tice.
 I strolled over to John Lowry, who warming up. on the side lines, and asked him when the league season was going to open up. Just then the mists began to clear away. There was a pounding in my ear which be- came louder and louder, and finally resolved itself into words, at first in- distinct, finally ineligible, as:
 And it's almost 8 o'clock. You have just twelve minutes in which to get to work"
 But what do you say-we make it a reality?

Congressman Madden of Illinois
said he is considering introduction of a
bill to establish a wheat price of
$3.50 a bushei for the people of this
country, with the Government to
make up the difference between this
and the 1925 guarantee to the farmer.
Madden, in an interview today, pro-
posed also a plan to feed America
first" by prohibiting large food ex-
ports to Europe.
1t is unlikely either plan will
be submitted until the President Of
fers his recommendations to reduce
the cost of living, as the House has
practically agreed to take no action
until this is done.
A plan for action is scheduled to be
drawn up tomorrow when Attorney
General Palmer's committee meets to
hear the report of subcommittee on
proposed recommendations. Among
those to be discussed are a revival
of the food administration, hating
efforts to keep the price of wheat at
$2.26, the figure guaranteed farmers,
defiation of the currency and the
licensing of food dealers.
Out of these suggestions Palmer's
committee will frame a comprehen-
sive program for presentation to the
President, who, in turn, is expected
to pass the recommendations on to
Congress.
The Senate Banking and Currency
Committee has been ordered in a reso-
luton introduced by Senator Myers
and passed by the Senate to begin an
investigation into possible ways of
reducing the amount of currency in

party of seven at the clubhouse on
Fifth avenue for yesterday evening.
All might have gone well if the con-
sui general had not stopped at the
club later for a cigarette.
Club Not Available.
According to his story he mentioned
the party to a member in the lobby
and then the complications began.
The member, the consul general says,
glanced out the window at the four
representatives of the Ethiopian en-
pire. They are very black, even If
they do happen to be the representa-
tives Of a monarch who is the direct
descendant of King Solomon and the
Queen of Sheba- Whereupon he sum-
moned the steward and registered a
vigorous objection to the presence in
the dining room Of the consul gen
erals guests, and the steward in
formed the Persian diplomat that the
club would not be available for the
feast Whereupon the consul general
called up the Republican Club and ar
ranged to entertain the African ennis
saries there.
But ]. Cornell Tarler. who is also
accompanying the party as a repre-
sentative Of the State Department,
feared that another fracture Of the
entente cordiale between this country
and Abyssinia might result il the Re
publican Club should also prove I'M
safe for democracy and persuaded the
consul general that the best thing
to do was to shift the party a third
time to the Ritz-Carlton. And, ac-
cordingly, at 8 o'clock, or there
abouts, all unconscious that they had
been within speaking distance of a
casus belli, the four diplomats began
their delayed meal on the Ritz roof

Another member explained that

mental program, but revolutionary
one. Reforms are secured from the
dominating class while the latter
domination continues-conseQue
refornist program consists naturally
of many points in detail.
Our revolutionary program con-
sisted, generally speaking, of one
point-overthrow of the land owners
and capitalistic yoke, wrestling the
powers from them, and liberating the
working masses from their exploiters.
This program we have never alter
ed. Separately, various measures ann
ing at the realization of our program
have often been subject to attrac-
tions, enumeration of which would oc-
cupy a volume.
II will point out only one point in
our governmental program, regarding
which there were probably the great
est number of attractions-namely,
crushing the resistance Of exploiters
following the revolution of July IL,
1917.
I'VE did not even close the CAPT
talistic papers, and there was not
even talk of terror. We not only
freed many Kerensl1y ministers, but
also released Krassboff, who made
war. 1t was only after the capitalist
eXploiters began developing their re-
sistance that we began to crush their
resistance, applying even terror.
PrOIetarIat'a Answer.
ut was the prOletariat's answer to-
ward such action from the bourgeoisie,
just as springs conformity from the
German, English, French, American,
and Japanese capitalistic efforts to
restore expIoiters to power in Russia.
The Czecho-Slovaks are supported by
Anglo-French money, while Manner
helm has German-French funds.
"The unsuccessful conspiracy aimed
at the surrender of Petrograd by Of
fcers was possible by the Swiss lega-
ton participating in the conspiracy,
using English and French capital to
employ many Russian employees"
Question: what is the real char
acter of the activities which the Rus
sian soviet government is carrying on
iu Afghanistan and India, as well as
other Mohammedan countries?"
Answer: These activities are the
same as ours among the non-Russian
people within Russia We made it
possible for a lower people to create
their autonomous republic within
Russia.
( "We help all independent free de-
velopment of every nationality to in
crease and spread, for which we offer
the most heroic resistance toward the
brigands and capitalists OF Japan and
