 Another strange thing in the progress
 of the awful tragedy of Russia was the
 gradual intrusion of the German accent
 in the speech of the soviet officials in
 Petrograd. Gradually, also, German be-
 gan to he spoken among the people and
 at the present time, some of the schools
 ia Petrograd and Moscow, which are sup
 ported by the soviet, make the German language obligatory in their educational system.
 sThe soviet also has taken under Its protection many of the theaters. I my self attended d performance at theater in Moscow where a serious drama called
 Ieda was drawing crowded houses
 When I tell you that the chief character in this play was performed by woman who appeared on the stage completely nude you will understand to what pass things have come! The character of
 I.eda' was offered to several well-known
 Russian actresses who refused to play
 the part when they were told that they
 would not be allowed to wear any cloth
 ing whatever. Finally, the part was un-
 dertaken by famous German demi-mon-
 daine whose name did not appear upon the programme but was simply indicated
 by asterisks. This play ran for 100 nights and then it was suddenly stopped by the soviet under a belated order that 1t was prejudicial to public morals,
 ''I played at my own theater in Petro- grad during the early revolutionary days. One of the plays which l produced was Sir James Barrie's Admirable Crichton, which has been translated into Russian. After it's first performance this entirely ir.nocuous comedy was stopped by order of the soviet. because it was considered anti-revolutionary, I also produced Bernard Shaw's comedy, Hoy He Lied to Her Husband which caused commits sioner to come to the theater and order the arrest of myself and my company. After a good deal of trouble and much foolish interrngatio We were released.

fellow refugees succeeded in getting boatman to take us in his queer sort of sailing boat to the other side of the river.

 ANDREWS APPEAL
 People in America and England do not understand the corroding influ- ence of German in Russia. Whether il is too late to stop it's inroads or not I cannot say. but the indecision of the leaders of the worlds policy is help ing more and more to increase the strength of German propaganda Le- onid Andreiev. the great Russian writer wrote shortly before he died an appeal that he called 'Russia's call to Humanity-S.

The two eighth grades, with Mrs.
Dietrich and Miss Lampseon as teach
ers, gave masquerade party in the
gym last Friday night. There were
many clever costumes, but the two
best were worn by Margaret Briggs
as Mrs. Jiggs and Harry Pierson, as
a Campbell Soup boy. There were ne
groes, Charlie Chaplins, farmers, Sis
Hopkins, Kit Karson and Santa
among the crowd, with characters tax
en- from Evangeline. The evening
was spent playing games and prizes
were given for them. Misses Mangan,
Grassland and Mr.. Smith, were guests.
The social reputation of these folks
has been established, before they reach
high school, so we will welcome them
when they come as Freshmen.
Miss Withers entertained the high
school last Thursday with an interest
ing talk and wonderful exhibit. The
exhibit consisted Of hand made ar
ticles of every. description from China
and Japan. 1t seems impossible that
some of the things could be made by
hand, but we were assured that they
were. Miss Withers told US of life In
China and explained the various ar
ticles of the exhibit. One of the things
most striking was a shoe about two
inches long and about three-fourths OF
an inch wide and this was considered
large! To think that this could hap

lived for service. If we can't be mis-

homes. Teachers are serving and we
in turn are being prepared to serve in
some way or other. We certainly do
thank Miss Withers for giving US this
educational exhibit.

Hope He Needed 1t

The Legion, in putting out their
Christmas kettles, did it to help make
a merry Christmas for the kiddies.
But, as it happens sometimes, things
didn't go as planned.
Sunday evening some fellow, took
things in his own hands and donated
the kettle and contents at the post Of

That's all right, old man, if you
needed it more than the kids for
Christmas, and welcome, and we wish
you happy New Year, to boot, but
don't let any moonshiner tell you it
is bottled in bond when you can see
the corn shuck in the bottle; it might
make you a merry Christmas, but we

you having happy New Year.
