REvOLUTI IONS QUIT COMEDY
 FUR FOLLIES
1 Laugh Getters from Paraguay Dust Comedians from Pub
 lie Esteem as Humorists

NEW YORK, June 2O.-Raymond Hitchcock. Willie Collier and others made the musical comedy revOlu tion" famous in America, but it re- mained for the gentlemen of Paraguay to give to the world the first "Follies Revolt"
 Their real life show beat anything on which. Flo Ziegfeld ever raised is gunning now for Paraguayan diplo- mats for leading roles in 1923.
 Echoes of the "Follies Revolt" are America. Cable stories tell how revo- lutionists are attacking the capital and being beaten back.
 That is probably only Gondra tOct- ing up for the final ensemble. Con dra? He is in the Paraguayan presi- dents chair when the curtain goes up on the first act.
 George Ade, in his "The Sultan of Sulu," didn't get Frank Moulan into any more complicated straits than Gondra got into as a result of the "Follies Revolt"
 How 1t Happened
 It all came about like this:
 In 1921 Scandinavian named Fred Engen was in the farm land business in Canada. Much of his work was among the great Mennonite colonies.
 The Mennonites. originally from Russia, politically are communistic and religiously are dyed-in-the-wool pacifists They were dissatisfied with Canada and were contemplating mi grafton.
 Paraguay is just the place" Engen told the leaders, and he hustled down to South America to see what ar engagements could be made. It was a big enterprise. Sixty thousand men, women and children were to be moved about 1000 miles. Nearly all were farmers. An i'm mense amount of land would be needed. Government guarantees were needed. Government guarantees were tors.
 Engen Fixes Things
 Engep fixed it all up. He arranged to buy thousands of acres in the Para guayan Chaco, or wilderness. The Mennonites and their descendants were to be exempted from military service. They were to pay no taxes for 10 years.
 It was said at Asuncion; the Para guayan capital, that Engen spent $1o0,000 to accomplish this But if he moved the Mennonites, he stood to make millions.
 Certain folk in Asuncion and down at Buenos Aires looked with jealous eyes at the millions Engen was al- ready counting for himself. They wanted to be in on it. But Engen just laughed at them-and went back to Canada to complAse arrangements.
 Ha, a Revolution! The. jealous ones began to plot Tn true musical comedy style they gathered in the cafes and matched plans. They argued like this:

 A petition was presented from the citizens of Moon and Adams Ave ask ing that some changes be made in the road in that section. This was referr- ed to the street committee.
 The question of the contract be- tween the county and the city in re- gard to the running of the pest house was referred to the health committee.
 The city clerk was instructed to ask for bids for the making of an audit of the city books from June 30, 1921, to June 30, 1922.

they think there's due to be a lot of in Paraguay-a revolution, for instance-they won't want to come. Let's send a lot of revolution talk to Canada. Engen won't believe it, but the MennOnites will, and to prevent his plans from falling through Engen will have to come to us to get the stories stopped"
 Dispatches soon were going to Canada telling of a Paraguayan movement against President Gondra for acQuiesing in the Mennonite con sessions.
 These brought inquiries from the north as to the name of the revolu- tfonary leader.
 They Find a Leader
 One had to be found in a hurry. The conspirators persuaded Dr. F.. Ayala to jump into the role. He was well known in the north, having repre- scented Paraguay at the second Pan- American financial conference in Washington.
 Things moved rapidly. Dr. Ayala played his part admirably. Engen be- came increasing uneasy The con- SplTdJOTS, cOnNluC0Q lildL lHe IlIle WdS ripe, got ready to submit their de mands on him and to call off Dr. Ayala and his revolution.
 Then came the third act The plot thickened. Ayala refused to quit.
 I've got this imitation revolution so well started that it looks as if it might work" he said. "Im going through with it, and have a real revo- lution'
 The Worm Turns
 The plotters protested that it would spoil Engen's plans and their own plans to get his money. Ayala replied that it was too bad, but he fancied the idea of being president of Paraguay.
 And pull" revolution he did.
 Dr. Gondra resigned, with an auto matic pointed at either side of his head as he signed the papers. And Dr. Ayala stepped in.
 Now Gondra, with his second wind regained, seems to be trying to get back.
 And the Mennonites? Most of them are still in Canada. Thoes that did move went to Mexico. It's quieter there.

Ignorant About Russia.
(New York Evening Post. ]

Most Americans perhaps" remarks the Globe,
 are ignorant of the fact that the Soviet system is merely form of democratic representation and that Lenin has retained power by means of the Soviet machinery but rather in spite of it.'
 The Evening Post, shamefacedly but in duty bound hastens to confess that it has hitherto been part of that America which is ignorant of the fact that the Soviet system is merely form of demo- cratic represen tation. Hitherto have carried around certain impressions about the Soviet which not quite fit into the accepted notions democracy. We under the impression that even in theory the Soviet system sets up a chain of four five in- direct elections between the Russian people the rulers at Moscow opposed to possibly preudiced liking for the direct election of Legisa- lures. gresses and Executives. were also un- der the impression that in elections Soviets the workers several times oyerrepresented against tn peasants, and the Red army several times over- represented against the workers; that elections are by a show of hands in the presence of a Boshevist Commssar; that the opposition in these elections is about vocal voter in Mississippi; and that, finally. the Soviet elections have habit of moving from up downwards instead of the other way about. The Moscow rulers in practice elect the provincial Soviets and the provincial Soviets elect election in Mexico.
 Frankly. it comes surprise, this resurrecte ed discovery of the merits of the Soviet system in the pages of contemporary. Again our impression was that we had outgrown the enthusiasm which the Soviets evoked in the mad. glad days of two years ago when the Soviet, being word, was to re- place out discredited parliamentarsm the West By this time imagined that it pretty well recognized that the Soviets anything but revolutionary committees of safety that they hay become with time Communist committees of safety.

BANKING CONDITIONS AN INDEX OF
 BUSINESS PROSPERITY.

Evidence of returning business prosperity is show in survey by the National Bank of Commerce i New York based recent reports of national bank to the Comptroller of the Currency Recovery ha been more marked in cities than in rural commun ties
 The National Bank of Commerce in its perodics publication the Commerce Monthly, says:
 Banking prosperity. it is commonly sumed, bears wel-d defined relation to gen. eral business prosperity. A study of the condition of the banks of the country pared by geographical districts should there- fore give some important indications of the relative position of the business cycle in different types of communities. The ment of certain items in the combined source and liability statements of banks is indicative of the general condition of bank ing. Important among such items loans and discounts demand deposits and bor- rowings
 Loans and discounts significantly reflect bank assistance to the business community. When business is active, expanding loans and discounts are expected It is obvious that in credit economy such as our own relatively large amount of bank assistance is needed when relatively large volume of goods is being regularly produced and keted. But it does not follow that loans be. reduced in proportion as business activity declines
 The recent movement of loans and dis counts would to indicate improving business conditions in some communities prior to the call of last March. For in stance, loans for reserve city banks in the Pacific region have recovered considerably since last September. and slight improvement in cities of New England. the Middle West and the South be read in the figures since the end of last year.
