KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 6.-Lieu-
tenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and
Raymond Robins, Of Chicago, address,
ing mass meeting of Republican
women here to-day, assailed the League
of Nations as menace to American
nationality and criticised the Demo-
cratic national Administration for al
legged extravaganza and laundering.
Declaring that the Administration
had been extravagantly wasteful and
inefficient in its conduct of many gov
eminent departments, Roosevelt said
that the calber of the Cabinet mem
bers selected by President Wilson
made efficient administration difficult
Secretary Daniels, Secretary Baker and
Postmaster General Burleson were
compared by the speaker with the men
who had held those posts during his
fathers administration. When Colonel
record as head Of the War Department
a woman shouted:
"Hit him again, Teddy!"
II like to hit them when they de-
serve it," he responded.
Allied Intervention in Russia and ST.
IBERIA was the result of an attempt to
collect debts owed by the Cars gov
eminent to international bankers, Ray
mond Robins, who was member of an
American commission to Russia and did
Red Cross work in that country, de-
clared.

the result of sustaining Bolshevism."

Radicals Plot
To Take Waifs
From Red Gross
(c0nslnusa froR page ens)

the children met and formed q sovie,
last night. They elected a committee
and decided to send it as delegation
to the authorities at the fort to dig
cuss the plans for the continued jour-
ney of the refugees.
A group Of Russian nurses, which
has followed the children from Siberia.
said last night that "to send the chill
dren to Petrograd would mean to send
them to their DEATH" Because they
will eventually have to accompany the
children to Petrograd and fear the
wrath Of tho Bolshevist government
the nurses declined to give their names
~ cannot understand what the Rus
sians who come to visit US want with
these Children" said one Of the nurses.
ut is shee- madness or criminality to
send these youngsters to Petrograd.
Most of them are orphans, and to send
them to Petrograd means to surrender
them to disease and starvation. They
have had the time of their lives ever
since the American Red Gross took
charge Of them.
"Yon can see for yourself how well
they look. We know conditions in
Petrograd, for we have been there, and
the Russians and radicals here who
arc raising all this fuss, apparently for
political purposes, don't know what
they are talking about when they say
that the children can be better taken
care care Of in Petrograd than by the Amer
lean Red Cross"
1T is only since we came here that
over the children were happy and con-
tented and felt that che Red Cross
authorities were doing the thing that
is best for them. They were willing
to go wherever the Red Cross might
direct them. But upon our arrival here
trouble began. AS a result the chill
dren have grown excited and have be-
come unruly and discontented. What
is the use of making them unhappy by
spreading all sorts of false tales about
what is awaiting them in Ffance?"
"You must remember that they are
not going to France to be put in charge
of the French authorities. They are
going to the American Red Cross base
at Bordeaux, from which they can be
conveniently and safely repatriated to
their. country when conditions permit"
1t is a mystery to the Red Cross au-
thorities at Fort Wadsworth how the
scores Of Bolshevil agents obtained
passes to get within the gates of the
fort. These passes, the authorities, be-
lieve, we're obtained by subterfuge.
Upon their arrival at the fort the
radical propagandistsj alien and domes-
tic, gathered small groups of children
about them, and after distributing
candy and other gifts proceeded to tell
New-York tribune., 1920-09-07

them lurid tales about the United
States and about what awaits them in
France.
Fight Barely Averted
1t seemed once as if fight would
be provoked between q group Of Rus
SLAMS headed by General Konstantin
Oberutcheff, q former official of the
Kerensky regime, and larger group
of Bolsheviki, who were addressing q
dozen Of the older Russian boys. Gem
eral Oberutcheff attempted to counter
act the Bolshevik propaganda, where
upon his opponents launched vitriolic
attack upon him. One of the Russian
refugee boys thersTpon sWs .a cried to his
real friends are," he said, pointing with
derision at the group Of General Ober-
utcheF.
The Russian nurses, who are demand
ing that the children be not sent direct
to Petrograd, assert that some of
the other Russian attendants who are
insisting upon the contrary are doing
so because they want to get the chill
dren off their hands,"
"They are tired Of the journey and
they simply don't seem to care what
happens to the youngsters" said one
nurse. II think it is despicable for
them to insist that the children be sent
to a city seething with disease and
hunger"
According to one Red Cross official,
into the ranks of the children occurred
last Saturday, when, upon the pretense
of desiring to entertain the children
at concert, the radicals prevailed
upon the Red Cross to bring them to
Madison Square Garden.
Immediately upon our appearance
at the Garden" said the Red Cross
official, I'VE discovered that trap had
been laid for the youngsters and those
in charge Of them. Instead Of con-
cert the children were treated to propa-
ganda and Bolshevik literature, in
which the efforts of. the Red Cross in
tales as to what awaits them on their
further journey were spread. The Red
Cross Is not interested in any kind Of
"ism" or propaganda.
Let those who are wait until the
children get to Russia. We are re-
sponsible for their health. and lives.
And we believe it is despicable for per-
sons to try and poison the children's
minds by all sorts Of false stories. We
cannot understand the purpose of these
people, but it is extremely low and
vile"
An examination of the camp at Fort
Wadsworth was made by reporter for
The Tribune yesterday. He found the
camp in first class condition. The liv-
ing quarters are equal to the very
best offered by American summer
camps. The children enjoy bathing,
swimming and all sorts Of sports,
under direction Of teachers and guard
ians. The mess halls are clean and
inviting and the food offered is Of
most nourishing and appetizing quail
ity. All the children look neat and
healthy.
Hats, shirts, underwear and other
apparel were distributed to the young
sters by Red Cross officials, and many
of the Russian girls, who are very
pretty, spent long periods before the
mirrors in their bungalows admiring
their new costumes. In the evening
there was a dance, in which many
American Girl Scouts joined
The camp is in immediate charge of
Colonel Heaston.

Few people in the large audience
that attended the High school com.
mencement exercises at Fisk's opera
house Thursday night were aware
that one of the fairest of the many
pretty girls in the cap and gowns
was bride.
That afternoon Marie Hensley, one
of the honor graduates, and Gilbert
Baker had motored to Nevada
where they were married. They re-
turned to Butler and no one was the
wiser until Friday evening when they
announced the wedding.
The bride is the Oldest daughter ot
Mr.. and Mrs. Lyman Hensley and is
young lady OF many charms and
graces. During her four years in
high school she was near the head OF
her classes at all times. In addition
to making a record for scholarship
she excelled in athletics and was a
member of the girls basket ball team
that last year won the championship
of southwest Missouri at the Spring
field tournament and were only
beaten this year by small margin.
The groom is son of Sheriff and
Mrs. J. w. Baker and has for some
time acted as deputy in his fathers
office.
The happy couple left Friday night
for Pittsburg, Kansas, where he has
Ia position and where they expect to
make their future home. 49,.

Alumni Association Meeting.

Friday night the annual meeting
of the alumni association OF the But
Ter High school was held IN the
rooms of the Elks hall, i'll the Ameri-
can building. After brief business
session at which the following otfi-
GERS were elected for the ensuing
year, Herbert WeMott, president;
Lester Maddox, vice president; Alice
Seese, secretary; Ruth Rockhold,
corresponding secretary; Ihelma
Debow, treasurer; Guy Silvera. .attor-
ney, and George Alsbach, sergeant
alarms, the 1920 class was taken IN
to full fellowship.
The initiation of the class ct s.
members was the occasion OF one OF
the most enjoyable times in the his
tory of the association. The mem-
bers of the class under the direc..
ton of Wesley Denton. master OF
ceremonies, were marshalled into, the
main rooms of the Elks club where
they were introduced to the older
members of the association as all
sorts of circus freaks. There was
Jiggs and Maggie, the Mermaid, tue
Snake Eater, the Strong Man, Snake
Charmer, Hula Hula Dancers and al
of the rest of the freaks usually found
with first-class circuses, and it is safe
to say that Barnum at the height OF
his glory never exhibited Just such
an aggregation. AS spielcr and
ring master Mr.. Denton left nothing
to be desired, and should he ever
tire of the banking business he will
have no trouble landing good job
with the Ringlings or Sells-Flo!o.
During the evening talks were
made by several out Of town mem
bers who were in attendance.
Resolutions expressing sympathy to
che relatives of members of the as
sociation who had died since the
last meeting were adopted. Those
who have passed away during the
pxst year were Mrs. Ada Pace Duva'l
and Mrs. Irene Davis Fehr.
At the conclusion of the regular
order of business, headed by the new
ly made members, everybody
marched into the dining room where
delightful lunch, served cafeteria
/. style, was partaken of.
