Washington, D. C.-Polish forces de-
Tending Warsaw are outnumbered by
the Red army about two and half
to one. Comprehensive details as to
the Bolshevik military organization re-
ceived in official circles place the ra-
ton strength of the Soviet army on the
Polish front at $4,000 men. The
strength of the Poles has been estimat-
ed at 100000.
Leon Trotsky, Russian minister of
of war, while speaking in wilma, capi-
tai of Lithuania, recently declared, in
year all Europe will be Bolshevik. ="
A great battle is in progress on the
Russo-Polish front, upon which hangs

BRATION AT COLONY

The Newllano hotel was a scene oil
gaiety on Sunday evening, the occa-
sion being the celebration of Mr.. ]. c.
Thomas's seventy-first birthday. This
was arranged as a surprise for Mr..
: Thomas; and when he was taken to
the hotel by Messrs. Geo. Pickett and
Ole Synoground, presumably for or
chestra practice, the scene that greeted
him was unutterable. Loving hands
had arranged pots and vases of bloom
ing plants and flowers and spread the
table with snowy damask, until one
thought he was entering fairy-land
Mesdames c. Thomas and Blanche
M. Briggs acted as hostesses during the
evening, and nothing was left undone
for the pleasure of each guest present.
AS the hour of five-thirty approached,
everyone was on the qui-vive, anxious
to greet and extend to Daddy" Thom-
as, as he is affectionately called, their
love and best wishes for many more
happy. useful birthdays. After the
guests were seated at the table, Mrs.
Briggs, in her mimitabIe manner. offer
ed a most beautiful and fitting toast
to our guest of honor. This was fol-
lowed by another of wit and humor by
Mr.. Fred Waters. Then Mrs. Briggs
called upon Mr.. M. L. DeVine fon
toast on fraternity. Mr.. DeVine re-
sponded in manner befitting the oc-
casion. Mr.. Thomas then arose, and
in few well-chosen words spoke of
his five years. residence in the Colony,
Of what the associations during these
years had meant to him, of the ties of
made and broken; then in
4 feeling of deep emotion he thanked
each guest for the love and respect
shown him. on this occasion as we'll as
IN former ones. Last, but not least, to
.espond was Mr.. Theo. F. Cuno, who
.laimed the distinction of being the old
st member Of the Colony, as we'll as
me Of the most active ones. His
words, while brief, were unusually ex-
,ressive, and brought to close one of
he most delightful entertainments in
he history of the Colony. During the
vening. music was furnished by Mrs.
Vrenshall at the piano and Mr.. Hem
nan on the violin. Refreshment of
coffee, cocoa, with home
,aked cakes in abundance. and ice
ream were served to about one hum

AN HONEST EDITOR /

Sometimes an honest editor of the
press breaks forth and tells the truth
He lets us In on the game" !"
That is what Charles Grant Miller,
late editor of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer" has done. In an article in the
Editor and Publisher" he releases his
pent-up disgust with the things he has
been compelled to do. He says:
Every editor of every newspaper
is tinctured with lies, and every editor
knows it and is sick Of it. For five
years" he says, there has been a
worldwide famine in facts. Truth. the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
about anything of grave public inter
est. seems to have disappeared from
the face of the earth. The news of
Russia, The Balkans. the Bosphorus,
and Central Europe mostly originates
in London or is trimmed to London S
shifting interest. Our army of thieves,
plunderiRg and profiteering with dew
ilish boldness and activity, have ne
elected no seductions or expense to
make our newspapers an army of pros
titutes."

Signs of the Times
THE SITUATION ABROAD

The National City Bank of New York
announces that the world war increas-
ed the world debt from A billion dol
lars to 365 billion. The per capita
debt for every man. woman, and child
on the globe is $3.50, and the interest
charge is So year for every one as
against ST in 1912
Meanwhile the war bonds are depre-
ciating, and are being bought up by
an ever smaller and smaller group of
financiers. The whole world is being
taxed to pay the bondholders. The
war in Poland against Russia is a war
of the French bondholders of the old
Cars debts against the people of Rus
sia. France will drop the war instantly
if Russia will agree to pay all those
bonds at par.
So the whole world will be plunged
into ceaseless war if need be that the
Dondholders of the war debts may COL
Iect their tax.

NEW RICES MAKE GOOD RECORD.

Very favorable reports have just
been received by the Department of
Agriculture from the South regarding
the condition of the extensive plant
ings made this spring Of Acadia and
Fortuna rice-new varieties develop
ed by the department at the Crowley
Rice Station in Louisiana, in coopera-
ton with the Louisiana Agricultural
Experiment Station. These two rices
are the best selected from a study Of
more than 1000 different kinds at the
Crowley Station. Their Importance is
demonstrated in part by the large
yields obtained. Last year under field
conditions an average yield Of SIS
pounds of rough rice was obtained
from the Acadia on 48 acres and an
average of 2,775 pounds of rough
rice from the Fortuna on IS acres of
very old land. Both of these records
are excellent and give an indication Of
the large production which may be ex-
Dected this year on much larger
acreage. if weather conditions continue
favorable. Eventually it is the pur
pose of the department to make thesC
lew varieties of seed available to al
growers, through the markets, thereby
oenefiting them and the industry as
Whole.

THE FATE OF EMPIRES

The traveller standing amid the ruins
of ancient cities and empires, seeing
on every side the fallen pillars and the
PROSTATE walls, asks why did these cit
les crumble? And the ghosts of the
past, the wisdom Of the, ages answer:
These temples, these palaces, these
cities the ruins Of which you stand up
on, were built by tyranny and injustice.
The hands that built them were un-
paid. The backs that bore the burden
also bore the marks of the lash. They
were built by slaves to satisfy the van
ity and ambition Of robbers. For these
they are dust. Their civiliza-
ton was a lie. Their laws were reg
ulated robbery and established theft.
They bought and sold the bodies of
men; and the mournful wind of desola-
hon, signing around their crumbling
ruins, is voice of prophetic warm
ng to those who would repeat the in,
-amous experiment, uttering the great
ruth that no nation founded upon
slavery, either of body or mind, can
tand."

ALTTTLE BIT OF HEAVEN

Ina. L. DeVme Sunday evening"
This Colony is not fleeing show
For mans delusion given.
He that hath soothed comrades woe
Or spoken a word of cheer, doth
know
There something here of heaven.
He that walks life's thorny way
With feelings calm and even,
Whose path is lit from day to day
By virtues bright and steady ray.
Hath. something felt of heaven.
He that has been colonist like man,
And all of its faults forgiven.
Who measures out life's little span
In love to Colony and to man.
On earth hath tasted heaven.

If you like to win but you think you

Students Vote
Shakespeare Dead
One; Study Bible

Berkeley, Dec. 20. - william
Shakespeare, for several centuries
noted for his choice English, will
be replaced by the Bible in the
usual class in Shakespearian litera-
ture at the University of California.
William was buried bya vote of 81
to 81 by the uper classmen in favor
of the Bible as essential to knowl
edge of English literature. AS a
consequence, Professor Charles
Mills Gayley, head of the English
department of the university, will
lecture on the Bible next semester.
Selection of the Bible as a text
book in literature rather than the
works of Shakespeare was decided
upon by the class after Professor
Cayley advised them to consider
seriously the relative merits of the
two subjects.
