Death of Mrs. Tohn Gracy, Long
time Resident


Mrs. John Crazy, who had been
i'll for four weeks died Dec. 10.
Elizabeth A. Ferguson was the
daughter of John and Christie

were prosperous farmers for 30
years. In those days it was consid-
cred great treat, especially among
the younger set, to visit "Lizzie and
john, where they were always sure
of a cordial welcome and many will
recall the excellent meals at her
table and the food that she knew
so well how TO cook and serve. Mrs.
Crazy always kept a warm spot in
her heart for the children and called
them her girls and boys.
After three years of farm life they
moved to the pleasant home in
Peacham Corner where they have
lived about 20 years and where two
years ago they celebrated their gol-

"Red" Menace
Is Moving East

washington.-The danger to the
world from bolshevism was never
greater than at the present moment
The collapse of the Russian national
forces under General Kolchak In 81
IBERIA and the retreat of General Deni-
kine's army from the Moscow front
are regarded in every capital in Eu-
rope and in Washington as constitut-
ing a threat Of a possible invasion Of
Europe, q certain penetration by the
bolshevilxi in Asia and menace to the
peace Of the entire world.
Even Prince Michael Cantacuzene,
husband Of a granddaughter Of Presi-
dent Grant. who has Just arrived In
the United States, while hopeful that
the Russian national forces may still
save themselves, confesses that their
plight Is desperate unless allied aid
reaches them. "They have no shoes,
no clothes, very little ammunition and
very little food II the allies wish to
stop the spread Of bolshevism through
out the world they must come to the
rescue Of KOlchak and Denikine."
This is the belief of a man who is
fresh from Siberia and who is optimis-
tic enough to advance the opinion that
II bolshevism can be kept isolated In
Russia It will wear itself out by Its
own excuses.
On the High Tide Of Victory. e
The word "if" makes all the differ
ence In the world. But the fact Is that
bolshevism Is now riding on the high
tide Of victory and there does not seem
one chance in a million that It will be
confined to Russia. Nearly all of Asia
Is now open to its propaganda. The
defeat Of the forces of General Deni-
kline opens the door between Moscow
and the Black sea. The connecting
military link between the former Kol-
chalk and Denikine lines has been OBJ
liberated and nothing remains to pre-
vent the agents Of the bolshevists from
moving ateward Armenia, Persia, Az
ghnnistan and India. Agents Of the
Russian reds have already stirred up
considerable trouble among the hill
tribes on the northern confines of India
and British troops are now engaged In
suppressing uprislngs.
AS for Siberia, the red propaganda
is moving eastward rapidly. 1t has
become so serious a menace to China
and Japan that the government OF

Among the ignorant masses both Of

their doctrines, and If these countries
embrace the propaganda the sequel
will be written In the bloodlest chap
ter in history.
But II is not against Asia merely
that the bolshevists are plotting. An

Music Society Gives
Its Second Concert
Trio Number Most Pleasing on
Evening Program at
Aeolian Hall

The program of the second subscrip-
ton concert of the New York Chamber
Music Society, which was given last
night in Aeolian Hall, made quick
transition from the classic clarity of
Mozart to the more obscure and at
mospheric utterances of present day
writer's of music.
The Mozart was quintet in A for
string quartet and clarionet. OF what
followed, the most ambitious and, on
the whole, most satisfying number was
a trio for piano, violin and viola, by
Joseph Jongen. It gave full scope to
the abilities Of the three performers.
especially the warm tone of Mr.. Lif,
schey and Miss Beebe's skill and com
mendable restraint in ensemble play-
ing. The first two movements were
skillfully written and rich in emotional
quality; the last rather overlonr
elaboration of themes of minor worth.
There followed quintet flr wood
winds and French horn, by Leo Sower-
by, and Scherzo Caprice, by Daniel
Gregory Mason, in which all the play
ers participated.
