 PARTY CIRCULARS
lnflammatory Literature Distri- buted In Various Mill
 Towns
Workmen Urged To Be Ready To
 Fight Employers

The police have discovered that a circular of an inflammatory nature has been distributed in Putnam, Me chanicsville, the Grosvenordales and Webster. The circular is printed in the Polish language and is bolshevistic in nature and urges the workers to be ready to fight. The person or persons responsible for the distribution of this fiery literature are being sought. The substance of the circular is as fol lows:
 Why You Remain Idle
 Do you walk in the streets looking for a job?
 Is your garment worn out? Do you suffer cold? Do you see others hang about the streets looking for job the same as you do? There are eight mil lions of them. What chance do you have in these conditions to get job? All streets in different cities are over crowded with men and women looking for work Factories are shut down. Mines lay off the working men and so do the railroads. There is no work anywhere, because all establishments which employed workers are the pri- vate property of the rich. We work ingmen do the work We manufae- ture the goods they reap the profits. During the war they made five billions dollars extra income over their regu- I Thaf'c uyhyy fhpN ignore the present stagnation. For us they have now only one plain "Go to hellp They do not want us now.
 There are more foodstuffs than nee essary, clothing and shelters, all we need to live. But poor workingmen have no money to buy them. All goods are locked in storehouses. Working men are hungry because there IS too much foodstuffs. Workingmen sui fer the cold because there is too much clothes. During the war they told us to fight or work. It was enough for them to take all we have had.
 Now the working class need the fac tory establishments. Naturally the government would not let for con scription of factories because as a fact it exists for the capitalistic pur- poses only. So there is one way only We workingmen must begin to act. We must take in our ownership, all working establishments and put a control over them. We must control the production and commerce for our own interests. This is the way to communism. This is what the Rus sian workingmen have done. This IS what the American workingmen must do. But in the moment when we Will trv to take the factories they will call the government to protect them and the police, Pinkertons and army armed with machine guns, poison gas and all war implements to check and stop us before we can do this.
 We must be ready to hgnt wsIh them. We must organize ourselves co this fight.
 The time will come soon.

J0HN WARNER
 LEAVES FOR EUROPE
,..ovv;ew Tn New York On De- parture On Government
 Mission
Sailed Tuesday On Aquitania, Accom-
 panied By Mrs. Warner

John A. C. Warner, son of MT. and Mrs F. M. Warner, South Main street and Mrs. Warner, who is daughter of MT. and Mrs. c. s. Andem, Grove street.. sailed from New York, Tues dav. on the Aquitania for Europe, where MT. Warner goes on mission ,or the U. S. government, as told in The Patriot some weeks ago.
 On the eve of their sailing MT. and Mrs. Warner were guests at the Hotel pennsylvania, New York, where MT. Warner was interviewed by a repre- sentative of the Pennsylvania Regis tern published by the hotel. The following appeared in the hotels little news sheet:
 That the progress of the aero nautics of the future will be made along the lines of long distance flights and the transportation of greater use- full loads, is the opinion of John A. C.. Warner. Executive Officer, Aeronau- tics Instruments Section, United States Bureau of Standards, who, with Mrs. Warner, is a guest of Hotel Pennsylvania.
 For long distance flights, special instruments are needed, for one must navigate the air scientifically as the masiner does the sea, MT. Warner told a reporter, and added the information that ship in midocean has no land marks by which to be guided, and it must depend upon a system of dead reckoning or upon sextant observa- tions of celestial bodies, such as the sun or certain stars. In long dis tance flights by aeroplane-especially at night and in the clouds-it is also desirable to have navigation instru- ments so that observations may be made upon the heavens, or that the course may be determined by sys- tenn of dead reckoning.
 Ut is in the development of these instruments, among other things, that the Bureau of Standards is engaged, in cooperation with the Army and Navy. The sextant for sea naviga- ton is an instrument which may be used in sighting through telescope upon the horizon, as well as upon the heavens, so that theeheight of the sun or the stars above the horizon may be determined and the position of ship thus ascertained; but.the sextant used in aircraft is different, because It must be so fashioned that 1t IS unnec- essary for the observer to see the line of the horizon. Indeed, it is frequent ly impossible to do so, as it is obscur- ed by clouds. Therefore, the instru- ment must provide an artificial hori- zon.
 Among the instruments under de- velopment at the Bureau of Standards is a ground speed indicator or an in- strument which gives the speed of the aircraft relative to the ground and not relative to the air in which it IS moving, as does the air speed indicator now in use.
 "Other instruments include sex tants, improved direction indicators, precision altimeters and barometers for use in the navigation of aircraft.
 "Mr. Warner is sailing for Europe within the next few days and will vis-- it Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy to further the continuation of inter- change of information between these various countries and our own along aeronautic lines"
