RAILROAD OPERATIONS.

Railroad operations during April.
the second month of private con-
troll. showed a loss of $l5.625.52s.
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion announced yesterday.
During April last year the roads
showed a profit of s20.7o3.le6, the
commission said. The operatingex-
pense during April, 1920. was s322,-
33S.7s5 as compared with S276,576,-
7s0 in April last year.
Under the new transportation
act. the railroads are guaranteed q
return upon their investment for
six months. The loss for April
therefore means that the taxpayers
will have to pay the amount Of the
loss plus the amount OF the guar-r
anteed return either directly or
through increased rates.

LAUNCH PLAN FOR
 SOVIET IN GERMANY
By Carl D. Groat


 United Press Staff Correspondent Berlin, Nov. 8. (By Mail. .)-Ger- many's "Neukommunisten"-newco com munists, as the extreme left of the h. dependent party is called since the Halle convention-want to start put ting Moscow principles into practice in Germany.
 They believe with Sinowjew, Rus sian agitator and demagogue, that they can get dictatorship of the pro- letariat and soviet regime in Ger many. And, their leaders say, they are prepared to undertake the fight at an early date. As this is written, the new communists are busying them selves with the task of seizing Inde- pendent party treasuries and trying to get control of the party organs. They started in immediately after the Halle convention, grabbed the party paper In Halle, "Das Hallesche Volksrecht," i" threw out the right-wing editors and

Puny and Frisky, the Health Twins, have been contributed to the interest of public health by Miss Fay Shan non, public health worker of Pope county. The record of Pope county is unique and inspiring. It put on the first rural health contest in the state; 1t worked out the most complete set of health rules for such contests; it gave a rural health parade in Septem- Der at Russellville which attracted thousands. The Pope county associa- ton is cooperating with the Red Cross chapter and its plans contem- plate giving medical and dental in spection to all school children. pro- viding instruction on methods for the care of their children. giving informa- ton about tuberculosis to every school eAtld and the establishment of . txhsrsalosis clinic and having tub>r- salosis and sanitary s~rvsys mAAs ss 0A ank1Re apunN.

put in Moscow principles. They like wise sent force of strong-arm young sters to the central office of the Inde- pendent party here to seize the party documents. A courageous night watch man drove them off. This is merely the first step in the pro-Moscowite fight.
 They call themselves Independents still, just as the right wingers do But, they propose to get the party machinery, especially the party organs like the influential "Freihit" here un- der ther control. Thereafter, accord ing to their dea, they wll be ready for their battle against their "enemy, the capitalists"
 If one takes the left-wingers' talk seriously, one can picture dire and dreadful winter in Berlin and other sections of Germany.
 But, the truth of the matter as seen by careful observers probably IS not as black-or as red-as the new communists paint things.
 They are regarded as strong enough to undertake some reign of terror at various points and times. But, on the whole. their strength is every where estimated as too small to up- set the present order of things. Breitscheid of the right wing, for in- stance, foresees that the reds will at tempt to put through their terroristic program, but he adds confidently that the moderates will have their innings directly afterwards.
 The creation of a new communist group in Germany has not the dire significance that many persons would attribute to it.
 American authorities here are in- clined to take this view of the situa- tion namely: that the left wing formation merely separates the sheep from the goats; 2-the creation of a party favoring force and terror is not new thing, for the persons who now cast their lot with Moscow are the people who have always preached terror and practiced 1t when they had a chance.
 And, above all, is the general spirit of the German worker. He has reach ed the point where things go a little more smoothly for him than for the last few years. Unemployment has de- creased slightly since the first of Sep tember. The German workers as a whole want sanity and sound condi- tions rather than the doubtful ex- pertinent of Moscowism.
 Admission of even the demagogue Sinowiew that Russia's internal plight is bad have given the worker food for thought.
