OF GOLD
COMES FROM RUSSIA
First To Be Received in Four Years.
May Be From Soviets.

Washington, Oct. 2.-The regu-
lar periodical statement of the fed
eral reserve board covering imports
and exports of gold and silver to-
night contained notice Of the impor-
tation of $339,636 in gold from
Russia since late in 1915.
Officials were puzzled by the item
which was contained in a routine
report showing the metal had been
received in New York several days
ago. It was thought to have been
handled through the subtreasury
there.
Inquiry at other departments fail
ed to identify the shipment although
reserve board officials believed it
must have come from Soviet terri
tory. State department records also
showed only. that the shipment had
been received.
Restrictions on the importation Of
Russian gold rubles were lifted Au-
gust IL, 1910, but evidence Of &C.
tual movement was lacking until TO-
night. Paper rubles, barred at the
same time as Russian gold, are still
refused to entry because their value
is doubtful, officials said.

REDS Of AMERICA

ARREST OF FORMER: sEcRE-
TARY TO LENINE IMPORTANT
LINK IN FIGHT ON BoLsHE.
VIsM IN UNITED STATES.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Evidence
that the Communist party Of Ameri-
ca is Tightly connected" with the
Russian Third International was
disclosed in a report received by the
department of justice on the ex-
animation Of Witty Shackman, for
mer secretary of NikolE Lenine, ar
rested last week by the Chicago po-
lice.
Search of Shackman's residence,
the report said, reveals a bulletin
typewriter in Russian, which stated
that since the election of John Reed
magazine writer and former inter-
nationnal secretary of the Commun-
ist labor party to the executive COM
mittee of the Third Internationale,
the United Communist party, is
tightly connected with this organi-
zation."
Minutes Of recent conference Of
the central executive committee of
the party were contained in the bull
letin, which directed that it be de-
stroyed after being read to group
meetings.
Mission To Unite
"a delegate from the executive
committee of the Third Internation-
ale personally came to this confer
ence Of the central executive COM
mittee" the minutes said. "He
stated that his main mission is to
unite all the Communist might in
this country. He recommended that
a conference be called between the
United Communist party and the
factions of the Communist party.
He insisted on the necessity Of uni
ting with the industrialists' and
with Mexico for the purpose of es-
tablishing better communications
with the Third Internationale."
Officials declared Shackman's ar
rest was the most valuable link in
the governments cmpaign against
the spread of Bolshevism in this
country. They attached much i'm
jortance to 4 statement of the par
tvs financial condition for July,
found on Shackman.
Dues Of Party
Dues to the United Communist
party for July, according to this
statement, were S2,139 total income
$9,416 and expenses S13,1S3. Mem
bership dues of the Communist par
ty for the month were $706 total in
come $4,6S9 and expenses $3.50. .
The program and constitution Of
the United Communist party is be-
ing printed in sixteen languages,
one of the documents said, English,
German, Russian, Jewish Polish,

thonian, Ukrainian, Italian, Span

they conceive it reverseS the whole
process of the last few tragical
wears. It would substitute America
for Prussia in the policy of isola-
ton and definant segregation. Their
conception of the dignity of tie ma
ton, which is that we should stand
apart and watch for opportunities
to advance our own interests, in
wolves ourselves in no responsible
ty for the maintenance of the right
in the world or for the continued
vindication of any of the things for
which we entered the war to fight.
The conception of the great creators
of the government was absolutely
opposite to this. They thought of A
merica as the light of the world, as
created to lead the world in the as
sertion of rights Of peoples and the
rights of free: nations; as destined
to set responsible example to all
the world of what free government
is and can do for the maintenance
of right standards, both national
and international. This light the op-
ponents of the league would quench.
They would regulate the United
States to subordinate role in the
affairs of the world.
Will Not Disappoint
"Why should we be afraid Of re-
sponsibilites which we are qualified
to sustain, and which the whole of
our history has constituted prom
ise to the world we would sustain?
This is the most momentous issue
that has ever been presented 10 the
people of the United States and do
not doubt that the hope Of the whole
world will be verified by an absolute
assertion by the voters of the coun-
try Of the determination of the
United States to live up to all the
great expectations which they
created by entering the war and en-
enabling the other great nations of
the world to bring 1t to victori-
Gus conclusion, to the confusion of
Prussianism and everything that
arises out of Prussianism. Surely
we shall not fall to keep the prom
ise sealed in the death and sacrifice
of our Incompatible soldiers, sail
ors and marines who await our ver-
dict beneath the sod of France.
"Those who do not care to tell
you the truth about the league of
nations tell you that Article 10 of
the covenant of the league would
make it possible for other nations to
lead US into war whether we will
enter by our own judgment or
not. This is absolutely false. There
is nothing in the covenant which in
the least interferes with or impairs
the right of congress to declare
war or not declare war according to
its own Independent Judgment, as
our constitution provides. Those
who drew the covenant of the
league were careful that it should
contain nothing which interfered
with or impaired the constitutional
arrangements of any of the great
nations which are to constitute its
members. They would have been
amazed and indignant at the things
that are now being ignorantly said
about this great and sincere docu-
ment.
"The whole world will wait for
your verdict in November as it |
would wait for an intimation of
what its future is to be.

Gam I so round with you as you
with me,
That like football you do spurn me
thus?"
Showing marked improvement in
their form and giving splendid ex-
hibition of steady defensive and fast
offensive work, especially in the first
period of the game Friday afternoon,
the local high school boys romped
over Anderson and the final tally
shows 81 points for Abbeville and 6
for the visitors from McCants' acad-
emy.
Abbeville deserved to win and by
large score for they clearly out
played the lads from Anderson at all
times in spite of the fact that Able
vile line would at times yield to the
onsloughts of Capt. Mattison's men.
In the midst of a pronounced de-
feat the work of Meeks of Anderson
stood out and with a mate in the
backfeld the score might have been
different but one man cannot win a
football game. Anderson pulled some
pretty plays at times and got away
with some of their double passes but
only once were they able to cross
Abbeville's goal line. The game was
fast and clean and the visitors were
no mean opponents. They will give
somebody trouble before the season
is over.
For the locals all of them played
well. Especially did Harris and Gam
brell give exhibitions of beautiful
running through broken field and
Harris is probably one Of the fastest
backs in the state on high school
team. Hutie Bradley made star play
when he completed forward pass
for big gain and both Hutie and
Foster Barnwell did good tackling.
Tate was hurst in the first half of the
game and was unable to play his u.s.
ual good ball. Billy Long also suffer
er an injured shoulder and George
Smith handled the team well in the
last half. Big Galloway was out of
Fridays game also and he was missed
when the Anderson players hit cen-I
ter.
All of the regulars should be all
right for the game Friday with Lau-
rens and there is no reason to expect
except a fourth straight
victory when the Laurens men invade
field.
The Anderson boys are the best
tacklers seen here this season and
they hit low and hard. Their coach is |
evidently on his job. With Sweten-
burg to handle the local team,
though, we need fear nothing in our
class.
The cool weather kept some of the
usual crowd, away Friday and the
hopes that we shall have
the largest crowd for the Laurens
game that have yet come out. 1t costs
to have all these games at
home and while the attendance so far
has been splendid it is hoped that an
increase in attendance will be forth
coming.
Laurens plays this Friday, Green
Vile, last years upstate champions,
play next Friday and Clinton comes
Oct. 22 with probability that Green
wood will come over for theirs Oc-
;ober 29th.
