Lenine, Illness Gone,
Makes Public Speech
Soviet Premier Predicts Russia
Will Take Strong Stand
for Near East Peace

MOSCOW, Nov. (By The Associated
Pressl Soviet Moscow is now assured
that Premier Lenine is In good phys
ical condition and fine spirits. He
spoke publicly yesterday for the first
time since his prolonged fitness, MAX
ing an unheralded appearance before
the Workmen's and Peasants parlia-
ment. He spoke with vigor and his
voice carried clearly throughout the
immense throne room in the Kremlin
Palace.
Lcnine voiced his pleasure at the
capture Of Vladivostok by Che Red
forces Of the Near Eastern Republic. He
remarked thnt this had given Russia an
outlet to the Pacific.
Russia would make strong stand
at the Lausanne conference to make a
Near East peace, the Premier went on,
explaining that the question Of tho
Straits would be particularly empha-
sized by the Soviets, whose diplomacy,
Lenine thought, would be just as sue
cessful at Lausanne as it had been in
the Far East.
He was quite frank about the de-
pressed state of affairs. throughout
Russia, but declared that Russia was
doing more to bring changes for the
better than any other country. The
outcome of Soviet efforts, be believed,
would surely startle the world.

Gallant to Visit Brooklyn

State Commander Albert s. Callan
has accepted an invitation to attend
the Kings County committee meeting,
to be held at the Brooklyn headquar-
ters, 123 Schermerhorn Street, on the
night of November 8. 1t is expected
every post in Brooklyn will be repre-
sented. Commander Callah will out
line his program of Legion work for
the year.
Commander Callan spoke last night
at q joint meeting of the Schenectady
Post and its auxiliary in the First
Presbyterian Church, Schenectady. He
urged the closest cooperation between
the Legion and the auxiliaries and de-
clared that the success Of both de-
pended entirely on the mutual assist

ahe meeting, which was preceded by
dinner. was one Of the largest ever
held in Schenectady

with 1000 customers and 200 EN-.
ployses.
No denial of the existence Of the
loan has been offered, but it has been
explained that Mr.. Day did not ap-
proach private individuals in his at
tempt to obtain funds until after he
had found himself unable tt borrow
from the banks.
The first explanation Of the recent
Factivity Of the Federal prosecutors in
investigating the financial relations be-
tween alleged bootleggcrs and the local
and national enforcement authorities
was given yesterday by the report that
Chief Hugh McQuillan's special intelli-
gence unit had been put on the trail
of alleged wholesale liquor graft in
the Police Department and the err
forcement Office by cancelled checks
which were seized at the time of the
arrest of Mamie Kessler. This man
is the alleged leader Of n wealthy
bootlegging coterie and Ia already
under Indictment for the illegal with
drawal of 1900 cases Of whisky and
gin from the Republic Warehouse last
summer. Two Of the checks found in
his records are said to have been made
out to police officials.
Five Million in Checks
The total amount Of money called for
by Cancelled checks which have been
turned over to the United States Attor-
ney's Office for investigation is under
stood to aggregate nearly $4,000, 900 al
ready and to be increasing steadily.
Among the records Of r. A. Day & Co.
which are to be shown to the talesmen
this morning are. all Cancelled checks
for the period since MIR. Day became
enforcement director.
Because Of the large sums which are
mentioned in the drafts the authorities
seem convinced that they are on the
scent Of liquor ring powerful enough
to buy any amount of protection.

ovERwoRkED BUT ON JOB

Psychology Is an overworked word
these days, but there is no getting
away from It. A grave condition in
the country at the present moment is
dependent on getting different psy-
chologies to cooperate on a common
plane, or temporarily, at least, substi-
tute another psychology.
No member Of the government may
escape the effect of the environment
on his psychology. In other words he
finds it difficult to get the matter OF
votes out Of his head. 1t is with him
whether he be conscious or uncon-
scious Of it and colors even his UNI
derstanding. No factor Of the INDUS
trial world can boast a psychology
unaffected by the conditions in which
he lives and works. Sound OF mind,
fair Of purpose and earnest in love Of
country ana kind he may be, but that
question as to financial success is be-
fore his eyes. lie cannot dodge 1t
any more than the man in the street
may avoid the influence OF the needs
of family and the demands of current
obligations.
But another psychology is shaping
In this country. II may be compared
to that which animated the North
when sumter was fired upon, and
again when the Lusitanla was sunk.
II is directly comparable to that
which put the British aristocracy at
work TO run the railroads, the men of
Kansas at mining coal when fuel
famine inpended because OF a strike.
Yes. psychology. the science OF the
human mind or soul and its activities
and capacities" is yet with us and
may prove tremendous factor in the
settlement Of some OF the problems
which now porpleX.

ITALY's PREDIcAMENT

The italian government now finds
itself in a prdicament like to that Of
the teacher of a country school a
faction went out and the teacher
asked the others to go out and bring
back the seceders Result, fight and
no school and the teacher left power
less.
A large number in Italy saw red
following the war. There were
strikes and the strikers espousd the
cause of communism, raised the red
flag and took possession of several
important industries. Communists
and socialists Joined in this, but in
some instances were glad ultimately
to call back the original owners after
Finding they could not manage the
machine of which they had taken
possession.
Meanwhile a spirit of antagonism
had been created among those who
were not believers in the commun-
istc doctrines and who were in
jured by the extremes of the Reds. "
This element, corresponding in some
degrees to those of us who are being
robbed and abused by unrcas onable
disturbances in this country, rebclled
and began retaliation. Naturally
enough the conservative element saw
it. These antagonists of the 'ECds'
became known as Fascist" and
ting out of hand of the government
and at present. judging from all re-
ports received, there is a civil war
raging in Italy with the government
puzzled where to look for support in
| trying to maintain order. The SOL
diers are short term men, doubtless
imbued either with the Red or the
antagonistic doctrines.
The "Fascisti' now include many
formerly Of the other factions but
who have concluded it to be more
profitable to wear the black shirts,
which mark the "Fascisti," and carry
the national flag in place of the red
flag. Inded there now is said to be
little choice between the methods or
the menace of these factions. Both
make use Of violence, looting, murder
and reprisals.
This policy OF fighting fire with fire
is generating altogether more heat
than italy long can bear. There is
nothing about it to recommend its
adoption in this country.

Aug. 9, l922.
Editor kennebec Journal.
Dear Sir:
Permit me to suggest that some
prominence should be given IN the
newspapers to the statement that IN
all cases of the reputed discovery OF
coal. anywhere in Maine. the burden
of proof should be placed squareY
upon the discoverer.
1t is natural, at a time like thls'
when we are confronted with serl-
Gus curtailment of our winter supply
Of fuel. that the desire to find some
thing within our own borders WHICH
will in some measure serve 70 meet
the threatened shortage Will lead 10
many attempts to find coal beds IN
our rocks; and it is to be expected
That frequent reports of the dlscov-
cry of such beds will be brought to
the attention of the public. At ordl-
nary times, such reports might
arouse nothing more than passing at
tention; but under present conditions
they are likely to induce eXpecta-
tons which may be costly, ana winch
ing but disappointment.
/ have on my desk reports OF TWO
finds Of the sort mentioned, from
widely separated localities, with
specimens of the coal In one case
the material is ordinary hos-ron, OIL
the sort that occurs in hundreds OF
small deposits throughout the state,
| with no resemblance to any KIND Oh
! coal: in the other. it is dark gray
! slaty rock. some Of the specimens OF
which contain enough graphite 10
| make a sooty smooCh on the fingers.
! Neither of these materials Will burn.
and there is nothing about the APP
| rearancc of either which should de-
Ceive ANYBODY who has ever handled
q hod full of coal.
Il may be said with confidence that
I no convincing evidence Of the exist
! cnce of commercial beds Of coal i'll
! Maine has over been presented.
| Many will doubtless object that this
| is nc reason why coal should not be
| found sometime and somewhere. The
! answer to this. briefly put, is that the
geological conditions Of the rocks
| throughout Maine are such as to
make the presence of workable coal
anywhere within the state extremely
doubtful. Persons who may be IN
clined TO doubt geological evidence
may be referred TO the Director of the
L. S. Geological Survey, and Director
of the |. s Bureau of Mines. the
J authorities of Pennsylvania ana other
coal states. or any Of the large coal
mining companies.
1t is not my purpose to Discourage
earnest efforts on the part of anybody
| to find valuable mineral materials i'll
! Maine. Il!-Considcred mineral VEN
| lures can, however, result i'll nothing
! but in injury to the prestige Of the
! state ana loss TO those who support
! them; and the public should DC for
| chilly warned To Giyc careful and
| thorough personal investigation To
any such project, and to consult COM
! notont authority before Offering
