Conquest of the Orient.
Three Russian Divisions March
on "Paris of the East"

Constantinople, Feb. 1.-the re-
public of Georgia has been virtually
overrun by soviet forces. who are
threatening. II they have not already
occupied the city OF Tiflis, capital OF
the republic, from which the Georgian
government has fled. Georgian soviet
elements took possession of the capital
after the governments departure.

three Russian divisions marched UP to
the Paris OF the East" from the nat
desoIate and frozen plains OF Armenia.
while other Bolsheviki forces entered
from the eastern shoulder or the
mountain range. Belief Is expressed
here the Moscow government desires
TO hold Tiflis as a base from which
the soviet government can direct an
advance thru Persia.

Soviet Coup Was Easy.
The work of establishing a soviet
government in TYflis Is said to have
been relatively easy. The intentions
of Moscow toward Georgia nave ap-
peared to be unsettled during recent
months. and It was declared she
wished to keep the little republic as d
neutral trading point with the allies.
The Bolsheviki. however. sent ennis
saries into Georgia, among them De-
ing NJ. Shiemann, whose plans COL
lapsed, his failure resulting in MS ex-
pulsion from Georgia last month. In
addition. the eleventh Bolsheviki
army which Moscow had intended to
occupy Georgia had to be withdrawn
to cope with uprisfngs in Daghestan
and Baku.
Reds Needed an Excuse.
The advance upon Tiflis was osten-
sibly caused by a controversy over
a neutral zone in the Borchalon dis
trict between Georgia and Armenia.
Demands were sent by Armenia to
Georgia, asking that the latter with
draw its forces from the neutral zone
on February IA. it being declared
that Georgia was bound to do this
under an old agreement.
Georgia refused to meet this demand
and then the Armenians advanced
few troops which were attacked by
the Georgians. The Russian soviet
government then ordered it's forces
forward to assist its ally Armenia.
The Georgian government was not
composed of men with fighting tenn

troops in an inefficient manner. When
the soviet forces advanced the gov

Hit and Rum
Play Described
By Munroe
JOHNNY MONROE,
of the New York Giants.


The "hit-and-run'' play is one
of the worst enemies of the sec
ond baseman and the shortstop.
Let's suppose there is a man
on FIRST base. The batter signals
the runner he will hit the next
ball for sure. No sooner does
the pitcher begin his wind-up
than the base-runner starts for
second
The ball is pitched. Usually
the batter will try to hit the ball
where they amt" Now, the
second baseman and the short
stop generally have an agree
ment between themselves as to
which one will cover second base
for certain plays.
Each Has His Territory.
II the second baseman is COW
ering second, thus leaving the
territory between second and first
wide open, the batter will try
to hit the ball between second
and first. But il the shortstop
is covering second, leaving the
piece between second and third
open, the batter will try to place
his hit there.
This "hit-and-run" play being
guesswork, more or less, the Sec
ond baseman and shortstop may
be somewhat undecided just what
to do. But IL the second base
man is covering second and q
hit and run" looms up, he
should not. as a general rule,
wait until the batter hits the ball
before he starts for his base.
Chance Either Way.
The batter may miss. The
catcher will then have an oppor-
tunity to throw to second to
catch the base-runner off. II
there is no one thsre to recsive
the ball-well, another play Is
spoiled.
On the other hand, IL the sec
ond baseman does start for the
bag as soon as the ball is pitch
ed, and the batter does hit 1t
between first and second, who's
going to get the ballT
1t Is a question hard to an
swer, and if thing of this kind
does happen the second baseman
can do nothing but give the bat
ter due credit for having been
the better guesser.

Dust Storm at Sea.

~ ECAUSE of a cyclone in Mongolia last May
* dust travelled so far to that sailing was

of ships the showerings scraped up and placed

In connection with its marine service the Weather
Bureau of the Department of Agriculture receives
reports from than 1000 vessels of all natonaties
in all the waters of the globe. Valuable information

Recently American merchant vessel the Santa
Rosaia, sent in to Washington three successive re-
ports its trip from Karatsu, Japan to Taku. China,
and thence to Shanghai, route to Port Townsend.
Accompanying its May report a small envelope
full of fine yellowish gray dust, gathered up from
