that organized labor would not discourage
attempts on the part of the workers to

to attach the present situation to the
insidious spread of Bolshevist doctrines

theory they point to their records, which

LONDON, June % Correspondence
of the Associated Press. with the
advent of the summer season and the
banishing of the cares of war, London
is witnessing q revival of sport and on a
scale never before known. Participants.
both young and old, seem to enter into
the games with more zeal and earnest
ness than ever.
The parks have their cricket pitches
and their bowling green's, the commons
their open-air swimming baths, dancing
arenas and occasionally their baseball
diamond, while the private residences
have their tennis and croquet lawns
Each afternoon and evening, when the
weather is favorable, these rendez-
vous, with the addition of the golf links
are filed with old and young.
Hardly week passes without sport
ing event on one of the large tracks
near the metropolis. The attendance
and the entries passes all pre- war rec
ords.
Perhaps the most popular of all games
this summer is tennis
This great boom in sport has taken
the sporting outfitters by surprise.
There is hardly a tennis racquet tennis
net or set of tennis balls, to be had in
London.

JAPANESE SELFISH
IN CHINESE POLICY
Protecting China Against Western Ma
lions for it's Own Security-Will
Return Kiauchow.

TOXIC, June 70 Correspondence of
the Associated Press Japan does not
pretend to he wholly unselfsh in her
policy toward China" says the Herald
of Asia, a conservative journal of Japan
csc thought. Japan is protecting China
chiefly for the sake of her own security"
the paper continued.
Japan cannot allow China to barter
away her birthright even if she is simple
enough to engage in such folly If China
wants to test Japan's sincerity let her
refuse all further concessions to occidental
nations and secure for all time the in
alienation of her territory, and Japan $
task in regard to China will be finished.
ct is a question, however, whether
China is vet able to do without the assist
ance of Japan in keeping foreign nations
at bay: and this help, strange to say, is
Just what China does not want. Is it
that China would rather be a slave of the
white races than the equal of Japan? We
can hardly credit this.
There is no need for China to be an
xious about the return of kiauchow. Jap
an has promised to restore the territory
to China Just as soon as China is able
| to guarantee that it viii not again fall
| into the hands of a third party. What
more can China desire2 And does justice

! ing concessions to no country. If she vii
| take this attitude toward all western
countries, Japan will be ready to con
cede China her new status But to show
desire to cast out Japan while leavin,

can expect Japan to approve"

SUGAR IS BEING

BIZ THEODORE FILLER

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator
William J. Harris has urged Attor-
ney General Palmer to investigate
reports of boarding sugar in Georgia,
and particularly in Atlanta. The
senator states that numerous let
ters and kilograms are reaching him
complaining that sugar is on hand
in Georgia, but that it is not reach
ing the consumer who is dependent
from week to week on the small
amount he can buy.
Little hope for the immediate re-
lief of the sugar situation is expect
ed in the south, as it is stated now
the consumption has passed the
amount of last year. Senator Harris
couples the reports from Georgia
with the statement in a letter to
him from the United States sugar
equalization board, which says:
There have been delivered to the
country this year at least 100000
long tons more than in 1918, and it
is somewhat difficult to believe that
all of this sugar is actually being
consumed"
The equalization board attributes
prohibition and expectation of high
Err prices as two reasons for the
present situation,

ATTACK ON RIGA
BRINGS PROBLEM
TO ALLIED NATIONS

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE allied
powers have the hardest problem be-
fore them since the armistice be-
cause of the German Russian attac!:
on Riga. 1t is believed the Lettish
government will expect the peace
conference to furnish troops to
resist General Won Der Goltz and
his Russian supporters, but who will
furnish the new armies is a serious
question. There is certainly no en-
thusiasm in Great Britain for EN-
barking on more military expeditions.
All of Great Britain's new volun-
teer army has been absorbed in the
makeup of forces of occupation in
the Near East. Drafted soldiers are
still In the service and their rela-
tives are agitating for their return
from India, Egypt and Mespotoamia.
At the same time more than $4,000
troops are engaged as an army Of oc-
cupation in Ireland. The withdrawal

If you were to 60 without eating until
you become weak, thin and emaciated, you
could not do a more serious harm to your
self than when you let your blood literally
starve for want of iron--iron that gives it
strength and power to change food into liv-
ing tissue, muscle and brain. Without plen-
ty of iron in the blood, no matter how
much or what you eat, your food simply
passes through you without doing you any
good-you don't get the strength out of il
and instead of being filled with youthful
strength and energy you are weak, nervous
and all rundown. If you are not strong
well you owe it to yourself to make the
following test: See how Ions you can walk
or how far you walk without becom-
ing tired. Next take two five-grain tablets.

have gained. Numbers Of nervous, run down
people who were ailing all the while have
most astonishingly increased their strength
and endurance simply by taking iron in the
proper form. But don't take the old kinds
Of iron simply to few cents. You
must take iron in a form that can be easily
absorbed and assimilated like Nuxated JrJn
if you want it to do you any good, other
wise it may prove worse than useless. You
