LENIN NOW REPORTED

BERLIN, Feb. 27.-All reports COM
ing from Russia are under suspicion.
The czarists send nothing but lies or
gross distortions about the Bolshe-
visits. Friends of the Bolshevists on
the other hand, see nothing wrong in
anything they do. and are cocksure
of the Bolshevists' ultimate triumph.
But i have just received from
sources in Russia, which i believe to
be trustworthy but cannot guarantee,
reports that the Lenin- Trotzky regime
is now in desperate straits.
Only two alternatives, in the opin-
ion of good Judges. can save the Boil
shevik movement from early dissolu-
tion. One Is to drop all communists
theories of government; the other
alternative is a successful renewal OF
the war against Poland.
JEWS ANTAGONIsTIC.
The antagonism between the Jews
on one side and the Slavs on the
other, 1 hear, has become more vio-
lent in the past fortnight. Lenine
and Trotzky no longer agSee as to
any policy. This disorganizing situ-
alton is further complicated by a

custom of taking out weather in
suranee has acquired strong foot
bold in the United States.
Five major league baseball clubs
this season have thus safeguarded
themselves on all Of their Saturday,

weather was general, and less than
100000 was paid policy holders. La.
hor Day is expected to break the
July Fourth record.
A British company underworld a
$3.50 900 rain insurance policy for Tex
Rickard as protection against financial
setbacks which the elements might
have caused on July 2, the day Of
the Dempsey Carpenter bout. The
premium of this policy was reported
10 have been $4,000.
Colleges also have begun to insure
against rainy Saturdays during the
football season. and state and coupty
fairs are likewise taking up the prac-
tice. Underwriters report that morse
racing promoters and owners of boats
used for holiday excursions are their
tigger clients. In the winter they
insure ice skating Kinks on the TEN

Summer resort hotels insure them
selves against bad weather over week
ends and department stores do the
same thing for days on which they
have advertised sales expected 60

purchasers.
The insurance companies charge
premiums ranging from 2l2 10 20 pcr
