Soviet Head
Delays Return of
British Prisoners

London, Nov. G.-(By the A. P).-
Maxim Litvinoff. who is at Copenhagen
for a discussion with James O'Grady
representing Great Britain. on the aues
ton Of the repatriation of British pris.
oners held in Soviet Russia. alreads
has attempted to carry the negotiation:
beyond the definitely specified field.
One Of Litvinoff-s first moves was to
propose to Mr.. OfGrady that the Allies
life their blockade on Soviet Russia
This fact. it is considered here, bears
out the view previously expressed
among members of the diplomatic corps
in London that Litvinoff on behalf o.
the Bolshevik regime in Russia intend.
ed to make other proposals than those
relating to prisoners.
There are rumors that the BofsAevik
Will try to effect a peace with the En-
tente through Mr. O'Grady.
Private adyices concerning the confe-'
ence in Copenhagen say that the Boil
sheviki attitude is most conc:liatory
Among other things. Litvinon is said

10 NO penalty that goes with this
rule, unless There II q referee on
the line, il seems a. though those
who are accustomed to breaking this
rule might have some regard for
those who do not and stop this by
merely using a little judgment and
forethought.
Another rule which Is much more
essential, and one that is broken
by only a few. is lobbing. This tends
to spoil the alleys in . very short
time and although this rule Is not
regarded by many as being essential
the real reason for the lack of en-
forcement is because there is no ref
cree and therefore no one to make
a complaint to. Some bowlers lob
continually and if the privilege is
taken away from them. they find 1t
difficult to stop.
Should the interests OF the league
be hindered. by merely refusing to
take heed Of these two rules which
are observed by real sportsmen IN
the bowling alleys?
The present standing OF the league
shows that it is neck and neck
or tie horse" with the famous Lew
iston bowIers. Should it continue
to the end Of the season as II y
going now, a game with the Lewis
ton men would be expected.

Secretary Lane
Expounds on Spirit
THANKSGIVING Day

Washington, Nov. H-SeerFS
Lane at q Thanksgiving day ssrvice
here today spoke for . pledge 70
Americanism and counselled taking
the American way at each new turn
Of the road.
I'VE are in a time OF depression Oh

smaller man who is inside each one
of US has come to the fore.
This would be a true Thanksgiv-
ing day if it sould besa day OF pledge
TO the stronger, prouder things In US
which we call our Americanism- As
Edward Everett Hale use to pray,
Teach US to know that we are sons
of the living God 30 / would pfay
also that we might know that We are
sons of a living America To kno"
that is to know that We can solve
our difficulties. answer our problems
and go on growing For a living
America is one tat is not staCc'
fixed. traditional, but one that Is
moving, living. growing and there
fore, always ready for the day
work. We have an American way OF
doing things, not a European way
Because We have an American con-
science and an American sense OF
justice and an American common
sense-these are our traditions and
they are equal to any task
We need to know America. We
sometimes lose our faith because We
do not know this land. its people. its
promise. 1t is the happiest of all
countries on earth. The richest not
merely in its ability to produce
things but in its ability to produce
men and women of courage. honor
and ambition.
Our people are growing day by
day in a distributed wealth such as
the world never has seen. One man
out of every FIVE in America has an
biles than all the rest of the found
globe. That speaks a conclusive wor
as TO the spread Of our prosperity.
We do not till one quarter Of our till
able land. Where else is such prom
Use? In my home university n
California there are today ten thou
sand students while in my day there
We had but five hundred.
I'VE love this land because such
things are possible in it; and better
things will come II We are sober
minded and ask ourselves at each
new turn in the road which is the
American way"
