ENGLAND ENGAGED

INTEREST IN HOSTILE ACTIVE
TIES or BOLSHEVIKI TAKES
PRECEDENCE OYER CONCERN
FOR IRELAND

London, Sept. .2l.-Great Britain's
sharp note to the Russian Soviet gov
ernment relative to hostile activities
Of bolsheviki agents in the near East
and India, today claimed precedence in
interest here over the Irish situation
Mr.. Lloyd George will probably have
an informal talk over Irish affairs
today with members of his cabinet
who are at Gairloch. Scotland. and
to George Chitcherin, soviet foreign
minister by Earl Curzon. secretary for
foreign affairs. made public yesterday,
seemed to have many features which
appeared to foreshadow important de.
velopments.
Soviet Russia was accused of having
carried on propaganda on Persia and
afghanistan. and with sending agents
into eastern Afghanistan for the pur-
pose OF getting in touch with disorder
ly elements in India, and with pre-
venting settlement of pending dis
putes between the Turkish nationalists
and the allied powers, The soviet
government was asked for assurances
that these activities would cease and
II was intmated that the commercial
agreement between this country and
Russia would be imperilled by contin-
ued Vaccinations by bolsheviki ennis
saries.
The impression exists that Prime
Minister Lloyd George intends to ap'
peal 10 the country in a general cleo
ton for u mandate in dealing with
the Irish question. problems arising
from unemployment, the reparations
question and number Of other knot.
ty matters which are pressing for set
tlement. The decision that neither
Premier Lloyd George nor Earl Cur
zon would attend the Washington con-
ference on the limitation Of arTna'
ments lent color to this belief.

know him, otherwise known as James
A. Wilder, chief sea scout, Is very
happy over his experience in conduct
ing the two sessions of training
schools for sea scouts at Marion,
Mass. Both periods were we'll attend
ed by boys from different sections OF
the country. Seven boys and the
scoutmaster made trip all the way
from Port Arthur, Tex, and, inciden-
tally, they worked their passage on
an oil boat back and forth.
The training school was ideally To-
Gated at the Tabor academy, the OFF,
! GERS of which co-operated splendidly
| with Mr. Wilder in the conduct of the
two camping periods and made avail
able their facilities without reserve.
The first group were not only hap
py but very efficient. Their maneu-
vers and general operations made 4
profound impression upon Gen. Clar-
ence III. Edwards, commander In chief
! Of the department Of New England,
who took dinner with the sea-scout
camp one evening.
The enrolment for the second group
was even larger than the first and
passed all expectations.
1t was not all play, by any means,
for each of the groups had the expert
ence Of cruising around Buzzard's
bay. under conditions which tested
their scout training and their endur-
ance. The members Of the second
camp were mustered into service to-
cooperate with the committee In
charge of the ceremonies incident TO-
the celebration Of the 3O0th anniver-
sary of the landing of the Pilgrims at
Plymouth.
The membership Of the sea-scouting
division has increased over so per
cent in the last year. Their expert
mental stage seems to have passed,
and the program has proven itself to-
be not only useful but attractive to
boys, especially Of fifteen years Of age
and over.
The eggplant, bean, cucumber, cab
bage, onion, turnip and watermelon,
have been cultivated for more than
1000 years.
