Lenin and Trotsky are ignorant of
the British character. However sharp

or public questions. they unanimously

fought all efforts to support anti
bolshevist influences.
Generally becoming curious as to
what the Moscow lnternationale
really stood for. the Independent labor
party addressed certain questions to
it's executive. Moscow replied quite in
the spirit of bolshevism in all it's
familiar manifestations.
Moscow Makes Reply.
Moscow said in effect to the Brit
ish inquirers:
You must swallow our system
whole or we can have nothing to do
with you" 1t said that Moscow's di
rect way was the only way to elevate
the workers and debase the bour-

The Shoe Problem.

There are some women who will tell
you that they are hard on their
shoes" They seem to feel convinced
with the kind of feet that wear shoes
out speedily. 1t doesn't seem to be
their fault and they can't do anything
else about it. So while some other
women can get along very nicely with
four pains of walking shoes year
they have to have twice that number.
1t isn't so much a matter of tenn
permanent as you usually think in this
matter of wearing shoes out rapidly,
unless, of course, you look upon the
DISPOSITION to be careless in attend
ing to ones shoes as a matter of
temperament. For really it is largely
a matter of caring for your shoes. You
will almost always find that the wom-
an who is very hard on her shoes is
the woman who doesn't wear rubbers
Moreover, she has a careless way of
walking into puddles and mud. There
is nothing that wears out the soles
of shoes more rapidly and that gen.
orally plays more havoc with them
than getting them wet. Walking
along gritty paths, over cinders or
pebbles will wear shoes out very
rapidly If you haves to walk in
places Of this sort it is a good plan to
wear an old pair of boots.
1t is an actual fact that two pairs
of shoes worn every other day will
last longer than two pairs of shoes
each one worn until it is worn out,
and with three pairs of shoes worn
in rotation you will effect an even
greater saving. So, if you can, buy
several pairs of walking shoes at
once, only be sure that they are built
on the lines that really suit your feet
In these days of high shoe prices
we cannot afford to discard shoes SIM
| ply because they are uncomfortable
a nd we never can afford to wear shoes
that hurt. The only thing to do j:
to insist on buying a pair of shoes
| that really fits your foot

LONDON, August 2S.-British miy-
isterial circles have seldom displayed
so much feeling over anything as
they display over what they call the
courageous pretensions of the labor
council of action" Premier Lloyd
George is especially angry. Those
closest to him say that he cannot ais
cusS the labor council of action with
out obvious emotion. He regards 1t
as a body presuming to dispute with
the government the right to rule the
country. 1t does not address itself to
public opinion, as the prime minister
sees it, but seeks to dictate directly
to the government.
This" said one of the premiers' con-
fidants to me. neither Mr.. Lloyd
George nor any of his colleagues Will
stand. Old England is not going to
submit to government by bullying
sections of the population
Regarded as Revolutionary.
All the members of the cabinet who
have spoken on the subject character
ize the labor council of action as
revolutionary. They say it is Britain
first soviet. Its principal supporters
profess opposition to sovietism. but 10
is threatening to use soviet methods.
1t is a curious fact that while an
overwhelming majority of the Brit
ish workers are admittedly against
bolshevism and while the most radical
among them have warned the Rus
slams that British men and women
must be left to devise their own
scheme of reforms. some of the sanest
spokesmen of British labor appear TO
be countenancing the strike or threat
to strike as a political weapon.
Optimists predict that all these ex-
tra-legal demonstrations will come to
nothing. They take the view that the
British instinct for compromise VIII
intervene and. control the situation
before it comes to actual warfare be-
tween popular and soviet rule.
