FEAR LOSS OF ELK HERDS
Animals IN Yellowstone Park Are Rap
Idly Disappearing, According 70
ofSclal Reports.

Ohlcials Of the United States De
partment Of Agriculture are alarmed
over the threatened determination Of
the Elk herd ID Yellowstone park. On
the ranges of the park, where ordi-
narily thousands Of these animals
could be seen, only q very few have
been observed this winter. Several
theories have been offered TO account
for the marked shrinkage n the herd.
Among these ID the probability that
the majority died from natural causes
or had been. killed during the last
year. Another is that the open fall
and winter caused the elk to remain in
hiding n some retreat deep IA the
mountains and Ii the higher and more
inaccessible portions Of the park.
Open falls II the past, however, have
caused the elk to abandon their
usual customs and habits.

TAUGHT TO Be REDS
Communism Is Taught in the
Schools in Russia.
Revolutionary conscience" First
Thing to Be Developed In Child,
Says Former Prisoner Of War.

Riga, Latvia.-Most Of the younger
generation Of Russians are Bolshevist,
says Capt. Marion G. Cooper Of Jack
sonville, Fla, the American flyer who
was captured by Russians while serv-
ing in the Polish army and recently
escaped from a Moscow prison. He
attributes this to the Bolshevist edu-
c~ational system, under which .commun-
ism is taught in the schools.
sThe schools are all red" he stated,
and the educational program pre-.
scribes that the first thing to be de.
veloped In the mind Of the child is
the revolutionary conscience
in prison l saw, several times, chill
dren visit their anti-B olshevist par.
ents. The children were. reds and &C
cepted their parents Imprisonment
philosophically, wondering how they
could go against the tenets they
had been taught to absorb in the
classroom" Il
Vying with this system Of educating
the children, ,said Captain Cooper,
was the wonderful propaganda system
by which, the Bolsheviki attempt to
convert adults. Il
Their communist lecturers work
even in the prisons, trying to convert
the prisoners" he continued. ."They
even tried 1t on me. There were lee
lures or classes held frequently. IL a
man said he was converted and could
convince the prison committee Of that
fact, he generally was released.
Further In the line OF skilled prop
uganda was the excellent treatment
OF the Polish war prisoners just be-
fore they were returned to Poland,
under the repatriation agreement of
the P0lish-Russian peace treaty. Be
fore each bunch was repatriated, all
Of the soldiers in it were given new
clothes and new shoes and were we'll
fed for several weeks, SO that when
they arrived In Poland they looked
well fed, well dressed and, in short,
were walking advertisements for the
soviet government"
Generally. Captain Cooper said, con-
ditions il the prisons were very bad
from the standpoint OF diet, but that
he received 10 personal III treatment.

 speaking at the Put-in-Bay celebration. suggested that the treats that ended the war of 1872 and be- gan period of peace lasting 100 years between the United States and Great Britain should be the model upon which the disarmament congress should build. In 100 years there has not been a vessel of war on these inland seas and not a defensive fort has been built. That is tne kind of treaty needed now between all na- tions."
 When the peace commissioners met at Ghent in 1914 Great Britain asked that the United States should keep no naval ships on the lakes and should neither maintain exis.- ing nor build new forts on the bor- der, and even that the southern shores should be the boundary. No such restriction of armament was to he placed on Great Britain because she said she had no aggressive aims against America.

MODEL FOR DISARMAMENT

an arrangement by President Madi. son for mutual disarmament on thu Great Lakes.
 This historic agreement entered into between Richard Bush, acting Secretary of State, and Charles Ba- got, British minister at Washing ton, in April, 1877. was model Of directness It began; "The naval force to be maintained upon the American lakes shall henceforth be confined to the following vessels on each side: ... All other armed vessels on these lakes shall be forth with dismantled and no other yes sels~of war shall be built or armed, If eithor party should hereafter b. desirous of annuiling this stipu.a- tion TX. it shall cease after six months notice."
 By this arrangement wrote President Monroe, useless expense on both sides and, what is of still greater importance. the danger ct collision, which was great. is pre-. vented"
 That is the sort of limitation of armament agreement nations write when they mean disarmament Will the diplomats at the Washington con- ference care to profit by this model, which has justified the faith of is framers for more than a century?

 6T7 HE most proper place in the
 world is this San Sebastian.
 Spain's finest summer resort. True, it has all the vices of fash ionable European watering place. It has casino, where you may gamble away the savings of widows and orphans intrusted to your care. It swarms with bandits in dress suits, who overcharge you half dollar on couple of drinks and smilingly add $4 to your restaurant bill. Besides, being Spanish, San Sebastian has bull-fighting season, more splendid by far than it's opera season. There blood flows on an unusually lavish scale.
 But for all that San Sebastian is more proper than any other seaside resort in Europe, even more proper than any in America. A short time ago the mayor ordered that one-piece bathing suits be prohiblted-an un- heard-o thing in Europe. It was un- officially explained that King AL fonso spent his summers here, that the diplomatic staff followed him. and. of course. kings and diplomats cannot be allowed to guess "the shocking fact that woman is a biped"
 The announcement made stir throughout Europe. But Europe failed to grasp full half of the stortlIpc tr,,th prasped if today

FLORIDA SUGAR INDUSTRY

, mated that about s5o,ooo,ooo have been invested by the large sugar companies now organized in lands, development of lands, planting of cane. buildings, equipment, machin- cry and labor in the past three years in Florida. If this is true it Is a remarkable showing and augurs well for the future of an industry that will run into the billions of dollars. and will make of Florida, undouotcd- ly. the principal sugar producing section of the world.
 There is ample justification for the belief of the sugar enthusiasts in this idea, as there are many millions of acres of undeveloped lands in this state that are we'll adapted for the growing of sugar cane prohtahly, while the other sugar producing sec tiCns of the world are already reach ing their limit on available lands for this purpose.
 With the demand for sugar con stantly increasing, with transporta- tion facilities constantly expanding, with the duty eliminated and the fa- ciUties for planting, harvesting and manufacturing being constantly im- proved, 1t is easily seen that Florida should soon be in a position to sup ply the United States with its entire consumption of sugar, or Ut least the greatest part of it, and when 1t does, this state will have an indus United States and one that will bring if fa huIouu r,rrfits

 Then I understood the whole truth. My legs had shocked him, had not supposed that my legs were of inter est to anybody but myself. But if I had been seen with them again I should certainly have been arrested and those legs would have become d diplomatic incident.
 So there is a place more finicky about bathing costumes than Amer ica. It is San Sebastian. The Span iards are themselves excessively proper. The ladies swim in elabo- rate costumes of flounces and frills and yokes and petticoats. The men wear heavy pajamas reaching to their ankles.
 The English and French visitors to San Sebastian, with their freer cus- toms. shocked the Spaniards pain fully. The Spaniards blushed at the sight of naked ankles. Then when they remembered that their King might be subjected to the same dis tress they turned scarlet They in- stituted a moral crusade. They abol- ished legs, But just in time, it is rumored, to prevent the King and his diplomatic suite from learning that nest members of the human race have two of them.

 It is generally believed, from ex- perience and statistics, that much longer grinding season can. be ob- tained in the southern part of the state. and this is necessary in order to develop large sugar centrals, where at least 5000 acres of cane is to be handled by one sugar mill.

HUNCARY,s DUELLING

From the New York Herald.
 The duelling mania continues n Hungary. The challenges averaged about 1000 a month during the first half of the current year, according to the report of the ministry of homs affairs. recently made public in Buda- pest-6.o 900 challenges in all between January l and July 1.
 The Hungarians always were fond of duelling as pastime. During the war 1t necessarily languished. But since the war ended the dueilists have been making up for lost time. A light word, an inadvertent bump against somebody. an accidental treading on somebody's toes in pub lie vehicle. these and thousand other trivialities are sufficient to provoke a challenge.
 The preliminaries beyond doubt furnish one of the chief destinations of the amusement. The frock coated top halted, jackknife salaaming, hee' clicking formalities of the porten- tiously solemn seconds naturally af- ford keen delight. And then there are the surgeons with professional cases of instruments calculated to send shivers down the spines or the spectators. let alone the principals.
 And it I a good thing to have the surgeons on the ground. During the six months in which the 6.oGo chal- lenges were sent there were no less than three duels among the hum dreds that actually took place in which principals received painful in- juries Nevertheless. statistics show clearly that the sport. while more perilous. perhaps, than croquet. is really among the least dangerous of Hungarian pastimes. Moreover. it Is a great proomter of conviviality. It is poor duel in Hungary which does not end in feast of reconciliation between the warriors. when the pop ping Is all of corks and not at all of pistols.
