Cat Scared by Tin

Stamford, Gonna stray cat
snarled things here badly early
this morning. The feline hobo
was desperately hungry, and in
its haste and eagerness to sat
isfy the hunger, thrust its head
into a salmon can that APP
peared to shrink. The cat was
unable to get its head out and
rushed about blindly. knocking
down babies in its efforts to free
itself. People in the neighbor-
hood called the police and the
fire departments to kill the cat.
Tabby was very tame after the
can was pried off by a cop.

Where sheep are fed largely on

oil meal should always form liberal

'League OF Free Cities

A world league of free cities, in
stead of nations, as the panacea for
social evils, was advocated last night
by Bouck White, in a speech before
mem bers of the Ferrer Modern School,
at Pythian Hall. 1871 Madison Avenue
Mr. White was asked many questions
bearing on the social revolution, the
league of nations and internationalism
He said: There is no use of radicals
doing anything in violation of law and
order; there are three storms about to
break which will disrupt the present
scheme of things in the United States
The first OF these, Mr.. White said
will be the result of the prohibition
amendment; the second the conflict
between President Wilson and the re
actionaries," and the third, between
capital and labor. "The greatest of
these storms started when President
Wilson lined himself up with "inter-
nationalsm." the speaker said. ''for
President Wilson will go down in his
tory with Lenine and Trotzky as one of
the three men who brought about in
ternationalism. President Wilson is
an anti-nationalist He will make it
mighty unpopular in this country for
people to praise the Stars and Stripes
and rave about Old Glory"
''Would you have the Jews stay in
this country for the social revolution
instead of going back to Zion - Mr..
White was asked.
'The Jews are instructive interna-
tionalists. | would have them remain.

Excited Debotes FolIow

After Catherine Breshhovsky, grand

had declared that the Bolsheviki were
traitors who had sold their country
and had made an appeal for aid to
educate the people of Russia. the Pub
lie Forum Of the Church of the Ascen-

was turned into Bolsheviki meeting
last night
Speakers who derided American lib

withdrawal of every American sol

and applauded wildly and those who
attacked Bolshevist doctrines were
Missed and booed
The church, crowded to the doors,

the meeting to open and at least 500
persons stood outside for hours, eager

people are those who suffered in the

That is the only way to gain the con-
