Baron Wrangel carried out a COM
plete change of front in southern Rus
STA. Abandoning his plan of concen-
tration on the kuban and formation
of a liaison with the revolving COS
sacks, he collected all his forces IN
Taurida and started out to capture
Kherson and Nfkolaiev with the IN
tention Of forming union with the
Ukrainfans further west and of push
ing northward toward Alexandrovsk
and Kharkov. Already he has won
several victories over the soviet troops.
In the Baku region in the Caucasus the
antibolshevist revolt is reported 70 pc
spreading and the Reds, who already
had abandoned Baku, sare continuing
their retreat.
Notwithstanding these reyerses IN

forts to "bolshevize" the rest OF the
world. Tokyo hears that they have
perfected plans for this propaganda
and are soon to send emissaries to

tries in Asia

Mr.. Root sailed for home with the
intention of taking part In the national
campaign and to urge America to adj
here to the international court plan,
which he is said to regard as the high
point of his career. The proposition
was taken up for discussion by the
league council when 1t met in Paris on
Thursday. 1t was expected that Italy
and Japan, and perhaps America,
would make objection to the article
In the constitution of the court which
provides for compulsory adjudication.
In making public the text Of the prof.
ect the council in letter to all league
members, said:
1.-THE council would regard an ir-
reconcilable difference of opinion on
the merits of the scheme as an inter-
national misfortune of the gravest
kind. 1t would mean that the league
was publicly compelled to admit its
incapacity to carry out one of the most
important Of the tasks which it was
invited to perform. The failure would
be great and probably irreparable; for,
if agreement proves impossible under
circumstances apparently so favorable.
1t is hard to see how and when the
task Of securing it will be successfully
resumed"

The hand Of the bolshevik is appar-
ent too, in northern Italy. Radicals,
most of them foreigners, are trying TO
get control of the communist move
ment that sprang up there and to Toll
the efforts of the labor confederation
to bring about a compromise between
the workers and the employers. In
some instances they drove contented
employees from factories and seized
the plants. Though the movement
was spreading considerably. there
was no reason to change the predic-
ton that it would ultimately fail. but
the probability that the employers
would offer to the men equal control
and profit sharing increased. Premier
| Giolitti finally took a hand in the dis
| pute, inviting representatives Of the
| employers and workers in the metal
| plants to meet him in Turin. Genoa
| became storm center when the COM
munists there, led by some Russians
| and Hungarians, seized merchant ship
| ping and mounted cannon, announc-
ing they would fight if naval vessels
were sent. In answer to this the gov
| eminent sent a squadron of battle
ships and destroyers. The foreign
! leaders who were arrested were all in
| possession of large amounts Of
money.
Seizure Of the land began in Italy
when communist peasants took pos
session of several large farms. AS
some of these belong to high church
officials it was expected the Vatican
would protest to the government and
demand protection of the property.

OF the primaries Of the week, the
most interesting and important were
those of New York and Illinois. In
the former the regulars" of both par
ties won. The Republicans renomi-
mated Senator Wadsworth, and the
Democrats named Lieut.. Gov. Harry
@. Walker as his opponent. The I'LL
nois primaries were interesting, espe-
ciaIly because of the fierce civil war
within the Republican party there.
The faction led by Mayor Thompson
of Chicago was bitterly attacked by
the metropolitan press, but 1t swept
Chicago and Cook county. In the
rest Of the state the anti-ThompSon
forces piled up such large majorities
that at this writing the result is In
doubt.
The power of the press" is very
poorly exemplified by the Chicago
newspapers. for they nearly always
lose in fights of this kind.

The congressional investigating
committee dropped the inquiry into
Cox's charges concerning the Republi-
can campaign fund, the Republican
members holding that they had not
been proved and the Democratic men,
bers having little to say. Mr.. Cox,
however, is unwilling to let the matter
rest, and in recent speech he doubled
the amount he said his opponents were
collecting, stating that the fund was
to be $25, 100000 or $30,000.000. Elk
pert political opinion is that the gov
ernor has done his cause more harm
than good by his expose" of campaign
contributions.

work during the past year in conse-
quence OF being without full corps
OF secretaries. Only two men were
employed up to the middle of May.

his work here in September to take a
better position in Den:'er, and with
the exception of few days, when Mr..
Weise conducted the gymnasium

without such a director since that

Secretary Hopkins in this talk to
the directors Sunday afternoon. ex-
pressed the belief that 1t would be
easier to secure a physical director
now than 1t has been for many months
past. owing TO the tightening up Of
financial and industrial interests
which has thrown many good men out
of employment. He said that he
thought he would be able to furnish
a man to supply the deficiency here
in the course OF a few days.

''Y" Dining
Room Service

The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton in Canon City, as elsewhere, ex-
lists for service. In the early days of
association work few towns where
Y. NJ. c. a. was established had dor
matories in connection with their
plants. Gradually the necessity for
clean. well-kept rooms for men at
reasonable prices was felt. Pracu-
cally all such buildings have them
for rental today. 15-sa .-r
Later. the lunch room, or a small
dining room, was added by many of
the larger associations. In July OF
this year the dormatory members OF
the Canon City association felt the
high cost of living very keenly. Food
prices were at the pinnacle and most
OF the fellows could not afford TO pay
what their meals were costing them at
the public dining places. From this
need was born the Y. NJ. C. a dining

At hrst the dormatory members
only were permitted the privilege OF
these meals. but as the real service
OF this department TO the community
became apparent. all rules In that re-
spect were suspended and the scope
OF its work enlarged. While more
men than women avail themselves OF
the association dining room there are
now women at every meal. IL there
