AQUITANIA DOCKING
SETS PORT RECORD
First Passenger Alights at Pier
Within Hour After Leav-
ing Quarantine.

When the Cunarder Aauitania, which
made record docking last night. was
in midsea an American efficiency eX
pert asked the skipper. Capt. Sir James
Charles. who won knighthood by war
valor. at what hour he expected 10 dock
on Friday. The skipper answered with
true efficiency positiveness:
Promptly at $50 r. A."
That is what he did. but he had to
do some tall hustlins UP the bay and
the Hudson to make good and guide the
big ship into her berth as II shc were
just a ferryboat instead OF a many
storied $4,000 ton liner.
Capt Sir James did not like the pros
pect when the Aqutania. after a rather
stormy passage from Southampton and
Cherboure. anchored in Quarantine at
5 80 in the afternoon, with G.2S2 seeks
OF letter mail and 697 packa ges Of par
GELS post. But the mail boat men worked
swiftly and the health officer found
everybody we'll aboard. and at 5 80 the
ship received piatlque. as the ancients
say
Then the skipper started To equal or
beat the express tyain schedules of all
lands. He found a clear course in clear
daylight and the Aquitania went up the
bay almost as II she were in a millpond
ocean slicing the water as never any
other ship has on her course from Quar-
artlne, and all according to the law OF
the port.
Tide favored the adventure of getting
the great ship into dock in ten minutes,
which was all the time left TO the
skipper to fulfill his promise, as 1t had
taken him forty minutes TO reach the
end OF the pier and straichten out TO
make stab for the slip. He was
calm and game to attempt the trick.
He Is a modest man. but he indicated
by his expression when he saw the

Europe on the way to better times.

The Red Outlaw

Why recognize the Red autoc-
racy of Lenine, which, compared
with the mild lash of czarism, has
scourged the Russian people with
scorpions?
Samuel Gompers said last Sun
day in Chicago: II can think of
nothing THAI would constitute a
more needless and base betrayal of
civilization than American recognl-
tion Of Bolshevist tyranny"
1t is the truth. Lenine, once a
Socialist, posed later as Com
munist- But he is neither a Social
ist nor Communist. He is an ab-
solutist, Genghis Khan, using So
cialism and communism to clear the
way by destruction for that ter-
rlble one-man dictatorship of the
world of which he has long
dreamed. He has enslaved Russia
politically to degree unknown in
Romanoff times. He is prosecuting
even the Revolutionary Socialists.
What he has done to Russia eco
nomically is indicated by the fact
that by way of small change his
printing presses are now issuing
l,000,000-ruble notes.
Lenine is the arch-wrecker or
Russia; and he is eager TO extend
his activities to the rest Of Europe
and to the United States He has
sent his emissaries here to preach
communistic violence. Mr.. Com
pers says that w. L. Foster came
back from Moscow and announced
that he was building a great secret
machine to undermine the Ameri-
can labor movement. Lenine, beg
glng for loan at Genoa. has no
toriously financed Communist agl
tation abroad. He is bound by his
record and theories to do this.
The United States government
Sppealed IN 1913 to all other civil
ized governments to boycott the
barbarous' Soviet regime. We have
held that we could have no deal
lngs with a Moscow dictatorship
which recognizes no responsibilities
to the people of Russia or to out
side governments. We have op-
posed recognition of the present
military despotism as an injustice
10 the suppressed Russian masses
TO the Russia which fought on the
side of the Allies in the World War.
Lenine hasn't changed, despite
his willingness to go to Genoa and
plead for outside aid Why shou d
American policy change? Would it
be worth sacrificing our policies
and morals for the sake of trading
with nation stripped of all the es-
sentials of commerce and conduct
ing its internal business either by
barter or in the currency of the
stage?
