Hitting Soft.

As Colonel Roosevelt would put IT, the allies
are hitting soft, just an they have in all their
dealing with the bolshevih. They are fighting
hard enough TO anger the Russians, even those
who do not like n communist dictatorship, but
not hard enough 20 put the bolsheviM out.
Doubtless they can do no more; the British labor
party waB loud In its outcrics against Polish
imperialism, but seems to have no objection
whatever to Russian Imperialism, Yet a purely
defensive" policy offer little hope OF success,

In an old newspaper bearing date
of 1884 appears an account of a man
who chased band of horse thieves
1000 miles, "got them,' and drove
the horses home again.
That man was John r. Hughes of
Texas. He and his neighbors had
been robbed by the typical outlaws Of
the border. With grim determination
Hughes followed the thieves-without
money, with little food and rest-all
through the southwest. He was alb
sent from home just a year. In recog-
milton of his spirit and persistence, h,
was made captain of the Texas
Rangers, because just such stuff"
was wanted in those days to clear the
border Of horse and cattle thieves and

FLYING FOX IS REALLY A BAT
Pest OF Australian Fruit Growers Has
Been SO Cassed by Scientist
Who Studied It.

The flying fox is really a bat of evil
reputation. II is more properly called
the frutcatlng bat or fruit bat and
the Australian fruit growers have long
waged war on it, though so far with
out much success
Prof. Moselcy observed them in the
Australian bush and described how,
"ln dense piece of bush consisting
principally Of young trees. the trees
were hung all oter with these bats,
looking like great black fruits AS We
approached" he says in an exchange,
''the bats showed signs of uneasiness,
and after the first shot were rather
difficult TO approach moving from be-
fore MS and pitching in fresh tree
some distance ahead, The bats uttered
q curious cackling sound when dis
turbed They We're in enormous mum
hers, and although thousands had
been shot not long before by large
party got together for The purpose,
their numbers were not perceptibly re-
duced."
In Malaga the fruit bat is considered.
a great deicacy. and, cooked with
plenty OF spices and condiments. Is
said TO taste something like hare.
"Flying fox" is really very good
name for them. for the head is ex-
ceedingly like that Of a fox. Some ex-
traordinary flights Of them. always in
single file, have been observed over
