tions, the grand maneuvers, the cour- tesy rendered the officer, and the in tenSiye instruction are in complete accord with the traditions of the an cien imperial army.
 Divisions Arc Named.
 ''The divisions have been baptized with the names of the local Soviets. The attention of the people is at tracted to the Red Army by Red Sol dier weeks, such as were held in Petrograd in 1921 and in Moscow in January, 1922. The inflammatory proclamations of Trotsky about Can nes and Genoa tend to serve the same purpose.
 The BoIsheviks have not been suc- cessful in their efforts to use the army as g. great institution to proselyte the soldiers to their cause Instead o1 20 per cent of the soldiers being members of the party, the theoretic proportion planned by the Red lead CTS, the number has steadily diminish tenth per cent. On the other hand by generous use of untrained officers the majority of them are said to De mem bers of the communist faith. The Red forces therefore, do moi present an aspect of famishd hordes nor, on the other hand, of a moderr army completely equipped They have insufficient arms and are especially lacking in the equipment for the spec ial arms and services. Alm most one half of the necessary trained officers are missing. The faculty of mobil- ization is handicapped by the lact of transport equipment and arrnge' ments for food. But an alliance with Germany would make up many o1 these deficiencies and furnish the necessary armament and additional officers"

Federal Road Aid
 Is Saving Millions

Washington, June 9-Milliops of dollars were saved to an Arkansas community in which Federal-alo road had been completed just before the Mississippi River overhowed us banks and the flood began its course of devastation, according to the De- partment of Agriculture.
 During high water in the M1ssissip- pi word came to Helena, Ark, that the levee at Old Town, seventeen
 miles away, was about to break. The
 situation was critical and a delay of
 few hours meant the flooding of
 thousands of acres of rich farm1n g
 land and endangeHng of lives. A
 small army fully equipped with tools and material was required to meet the emergency and Helena was the only source of aid.
 Every available motor vehicle was pressed into service and more than 500 men, properly equipped for the work, were speeding in a short time over the new road to save the levee They arrived in the nick of time, said the Department. land by almost superhuman efforts damned back the rising waters. Had it been necessary l to make the trip over the old road the levee could not have been reached l in time and the workers would have needed boats rather than motor ve- hicleS"

GAME: WARDEN TO
TOUR The STATE
FOR INSPECTION
Close Watch Kept in Carter
County and No Violation
of Law Has Been
Reported Yet.

Report comes TO Ardmore that Ben
Watt. state game warden, will begin
a tour of the state in the interest OF
game preservation. and will visit this
city some time within the next ten
days.
Violation OF the game laws is becom-
ing prevalent in some sections OF the
state, it is said, but so far no one in
Carter county has been found guilty
of this offense, officers have been alert
and are striving to see that the open
season law is not broken.
Some time ago the sheriff announced
that he and his deputies would keep
a close watch, and prosecute any one
found violating the game laws, this
seems to have had its effect as so
far no one has been reported.
AIr. Watt proposes TO take the mat
ter up with the Liones. Kiwanis and
Rotary clubs in various cities, show
them what Oklahoma has in the way
of game and fish, and ask their coop
Grafton in conserving them.
Mr.. Watt says that he is not oppos-
in favor OF the sport, but the game
hog, the one who wilfully violates the
law regarding open season, and pays
no attention 10 the bag limit is going
to get in trouble if apprehended, and
| from the numper of deputy wardens
sc,lttered over the state, it will be an
easy task to get them.
! Game reservations is another feature
d. discussed by Mr.. Watt, and he is ury-
Ing that more be established through
out the state by individuals able tc
dc SO.
! Open season on ducks and other mi
gratory birds begins next Monday, and
although many have already arrived
at local lakes and streams, so far nc
one has been known TO violate the law
by taking premature shot at them
as they pass.

that his many years in the ma
tional life of the country have
brought him reputation only as
a political partisan, without =
single constructive act to his
credit that the pepole can recall.
Before the appearance OF
Woodrow Wilson upon the ma
tional stage Lodge had a certain
vogue in Republican circles as
the scholar in politics. II was
looked upon as his special mis-
sion to guard Republican national
platforms against split infnitives.
But il sands out that while the
g. O, p, would humor Lodge by
making him chairman of its ma
tional' conventions, it never could
see him for the presidency or for
secretary OF state. He came TO
the position of leadership of the
Republicans in the senate by the
Seniority route. but one OF the
complaints against him is that
while he could lead in the sing
ing of a hymn of hate against
Wilson he had been found Who'll
ly lacking when it comes to in
spring action of a constructive
nature.
In the Mirrors OF Washing
ton" it is asserted that Lodges
long period in congress s"can be

wreck England by driving her TO
