II expected to check the propaganda
spread by the bolshevik government
among the Russian people that al
Russia must stand behind the soviet

with the object of testing the good
faith Of the soviet government in its
profession that they are afraid to

Reds Called Violent Minority.
While the president stated that he
regards the bolsheviki as violent
and tyrannical minority" he served
notice to the Allies that they could not
expect peace in Russia so long al
they permitted that country to be har.

In declining to adopt the suggestion,
the president discusses the situation

expresses the opinion that it seems
futile to attempt to bring peace to the

Red Cross Aid In Increasing Length

New York, Nov. 25,-Statistical ex-

OF the American Red Cross celebrated
Thanksgiving Day yesterday by dig
ging up all known figures on longe,i l.
ty and setting them down in neat
rows and columns. Then they put
them through their tricks and an
nounced that by the year 2074 A. D.,
which is 153 years from now, the aver

Ia 100 years old, This is encouraging

recent statement by DR.. StsShen
Smith, who will be SO years old in
February, and who said most men oil
this generation ought to live to be
100.
The Red Cross statistics show that
last year New Workers died at an
average age OF 80 years, but ten years
before they died at an average age OF
95. This upward trend has been in
evidence for many years, the await
able figures for the sixteenth century
showing that the average span Oh lie
then was about eighteen years. By
the eighteenth century il had been
heightened to 2S. If the gain keeps
up as long as the world does 1t Will
be only a question OF time when
man will never die.
The statistics show further that
the reason for the increased lengtl OF
life is improved sanitary conditions
to be found in all cities and in all
homes and the extensive work being
carried on by the Red Cross and other
public health agencies. Last year the
Red Cross reached 100000 persons in
