Working for Recognition

leaders in the Russian Mensheviki par
ty opposed to Bolshevism. who are
sojourning in Berlin. have issued an
appeal here in the name Of their par
ty, calling on the socialistic parties
and trade unions Of all the nations to
make a common effort to secure the
recognition Of soviet Russia. to have
the blockade raised and trade rela-
tions with the outside world resumed.
The appeal states that the defeat of
General Wrangel is not the victory of
Bolshevism but the victory Of the Rus
sian revolution and the whole Russian
people.
The Mensheviki manifesto declares
that the Russian peasant who is fight

nevertheless furnished the government
with troops to repulse Wrangel as did
also the Russian Social Democratic

There is only one Katharine Ridge
way. Her equal as an entertainer
will probably never be known. Mil
lions have shared in the joy she has
spread. She is more than an enter
tainer. Her stories not only add joy
to life, but leave an impression that
is never forgotten. She makes you
laugh and cry and later think.
Miss Ridgeway has played more
engagements each year for sixteen
years, had more recalls and received
higher salary than any other lady
known to the American lyceum. Great
auditoriums seating thousands are
filed night after night when she is
billed. Beautiful theatres have been
named for her and the tributes that
come from every part of the country
life. She is one of Americas great
est women.
Katharine Ridgeway's humor is in
fictitious. You simply can't resist it.
You find your own face shortening
and widening in the presence of a
negro nanny who just makes you
forget your troubles, bless her kind
heart. You converse with eccentric
characters all the way from Aroos-
took to San Antonio. and afterwards
will go home and wonder how Miss
Ridgeway did it. The answer is. she
is the finished product in the enter
tanning art. She makes you better
and happier.

Bolshevists Charge That
Japan Plans the Seizure
OF Shores of the Pacific

London, Dec. 7.-(By Associated
Press.)-An official Bolshevik wire
less message received from Moscow
quotes the IZvestia as asserting that
sit is evident that Japan has adopted
a policy of Selling the shores Of the
Pacific.' 1t adds:
"Thc Japanese general stan has
marked out a fortified line in the shore
zone from Shanghai through Kwang-
tung peninsula and the Russian
coastal region and the Kamchatka
peninsula" CA line through Kwang-
tung from Shanghai would cover the
southern half of the Chinese coast or
about zoo miles. including Hongkong).
The Japanese arc conducting a
definitely imperialistic policy with re-
gard to Far Eastern Russia. BY con-
cealing their plans, they hoped the
allies would bless their Siberian policy
When America. however, cried out
against them, Japan hesitated and
then declared she feared an attack
from Bolsheviki and that an agrees
sive policy in Siberia was necessary
She. therefore. disarmed the Rus
SIAN troops in the Maritime province
and is attempting to liquidate the for
tifications Of Vladivostok and Niko-
lavsk.
Such are the intentions Of the
Japanese imperialists. Japan may be
expected to tenaciously persevere in
effecting her plans and therefore, the
Far Eastern Republic with its head
quarters at Verkhne-Udinsk is faced
with the problem of definitely resisting
the aggression of the Japanese in
Siberia AS this in like measure ef-
fects China.s interests. they must
unite for joint resistance To Japanese
aspirations on the Asiatie mainland"
