Allies Strengthened Hold
 of Bolshevism on Russia

7NHE allies policy toward soviet
 U Russia has been a humiliating failure. If they had fought the World war in such bungling fashion Germany would now be triumphant and Kaiser Wilhelm would regard this earth as his footstool.
 Instead of crushing Sbolshevism or placing it in such a bad light that it would have been stamped out by the Russian people themselves, the al- lies by helping or promising to help. first one leader and then another and permitting Poland to get out of hand. have only succeeded in building up a barrier between themselves and the Russian masses which it may take years to break down. As many observers have pointed out, as long as Lenine and Trotzky can pose as saviors of Russia men, aced by the nations of Europe, they 1 will retain the support of large part of the people. The unfortunate tao ties of the allies have given color to the bolshevik claim that they were fighting defensive wars against re-

Encouraging News From
 the League of Nations

7NWO hopeful messages came from lI the League of Nations yester- day. One was the unanimous vote of the assembly to mediate between the Armenians and the Turks. The other was the assurance brought to the Jewish board of deputies in London that the league would take effective steps in the future against pogroms.
 The allied Christian nations would stand in a contradictory attitude if they insisted on fair treatment of the Armenians by the Turks and, on the other hand, took no steps to put an end to the equally cruel and barbar- ous treatment of Jews by Christian nations. The pogrom is less excusa- ble because it is practiced by follow CTS of the preacher of mercy.
 The Turk must be attended to. There is no way of throttling him ex- cept by force or the certainty that force will be used. He knows no law but the physical. Agreements with him are not worth the breath wasted or the paper on which they may be written.
 The allies have settled the affairs of Poland and the Adriatic question. They have dealt fairly with the Balkans and the Greeks. They have abrogated the influence of Turkey in Europe. The league must go one step further and see that Turkey behaves itself wherever it comes in contact with Christians.
 The league must also see that 1 Christians cease being barbarians in their treatment of the Jew. It has two well-defined tasks requiring im- mediate attention. That it is going ahead with both is good news indeed to the civilized world.

Doll Bazaar

"A football game without a football, a pie without a pie crust-neither Is anything compared to q doll bazar without place to hold the bazar in, said Mss. H. V. Sims, chairman of the doll bazaar. A golf ball won't do for a football game, and a poor crust for 9 pie is as bad as none at all-and the wrong place for doll bazar ruins the whole affair. But after much looking about, we have found just the place for the bazar, one which we think insures it's success, the Ledger building"
 Missing Link
 There is just one blcck, which if paved. would materially help to divert the heavy travel over Twenty first street" said w. W. French, "and that is the one between Avenues r and G on Twenty fourth street. It would then give a paved thoroughfare on Twenty fourth street across town to the north side, taking care of heavy traffic and also affording a quicker and better out let to the Terminal. But what is more, it would give an outlet to Avenue A. which is now paved on both sides of the Seaboard Air Line cut. This gives the shortest route for Twentieth street traf- fic, and the advantage is that on the left side going east it passes beneath the Rainbow viaduct"

A notable example of substantial
progress in the automobile circles of
the county is the career of this firm,
who have served the people for the
past several years and lastyear placed
many cars in the county. 1t has
given the best of satisfaction and
their ever increasing popularity is a
tribute to their true worth.
The Velie is not a new automo-
bile, but is one of the pioneers, hav,
ing not only kept pace with the
rapid advancement of the motor car
industry, but having always been just
a little in advance of all others in
offering dependable quality at an
attractive price.
There was never a time when the
demand for cars so far exceeded the
supply as now and this is particularly
true of the National. This firm has
adopted the eminently fair system
of receiving orders in turn and
placing the cars with those whose
orders are in first. Place your order

will receive your car in your proper
turn and at the earliest possible
moment, but in order to do this your
order must BE ON FILE so you
had best place it at once.

been their care in their effort to

In the art circles of this section
Of the state, there is no one that
has attained a wider reputation, as
regards the most modern creations
of photography than the above
named .well-known and popular pho
tographers. This reputation is not
confined to their home city, but ex-
tends throughout the adjoining
territory for many miles.
They've made an exhaustive study
of their interesting and artistic pro-
fession and never let's an ~opportun-
ity pass to keep themselves posted to
the uttermost, being constantly in
touch with the leaders in the pho
~tographic world of this part of the
country. Aside from this, they are
original and artistic and thus are
fully equipped to carry out all the
work that, the profession embraces.
Their line of work embraces all
branches of commercial photography.

liberal patronage that it receives
