In the fiistpface, no doubt you
will want to learn why he was

Whenever any one asked Sandy
himself why be was SO called, he

he was one of the busiest. He was a
great worker. And when he played
as he sometimes did---he played
just as hard as he worked.
In spite of his being so busy there
may have been another reason why
he was named Sandy. Jimmy Rab-
bit was the first to suggest that
perhaps Sandy Chipmunk didn't
know.
Jimmy and some of his neighbors
were summing themselves in Far
mer Green's pasture one day. And
while they were idling away the af-
ternoon Sandy Chipmunk scurried
past on top of the stone wall. with
his cheek pouches full OF nuts.
There goes Sandy Chipmunk!'
Jimmy Rabbit exclaimed. He called
to Sandy. But Sandy did not stop,
He made no answer. either, beyond
a fitch of his tail. You see, his
mouth was SO full that he couldn't
say word.

General Wrange the antboshevik leader in Southern
Essia has met defeat and being forced from the Crmea
by the Red armies Wrange had the assistance of of
the allied nations to the -fated Kochak.
Apparently between the Boshevk and the foreign sub
sidzed anboshevik leaders, the Russians prefer the
former At any rate the repeated defeats sustained by
Denekne, Kochak and Wrange show that the Russians will
not tolerate foreign interference in their affairs and that
they unite to repel the invader.
In this regard Allied diplomacy has been failure and
resulted only in strengthening the hold of the Red auocracy
Left to themselves the Russians will probably eventually
solve their troubles and Lenne and Trosy go the way of
