EENeGEN- MALLORY DISPUTE
 REACHES AN ACUTE STAGE

Paris. Sept 17-CBy the A P)- The controversy over Mile Suzanne Lenglen and Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mallory, which continues very active in French tennis federation circles, threatens to disrupt the organization. The break between partisans of Mile. Lengle and advocates of the closest of relotions with the United States Lawn Tennis association has reached an acute stage.
 When Mile. Lenglen defeated Mrs. Mallory at Wimbledon in straight sets, Tennis and Golf, the official publica- ton of the tennis federation, pub hshed an article under the signature of "Daninos' one of the most promi- nent members of the federation, which Henry Wallet, president of the fedora ton, thought derogatory to the Unit ed States association
 Ths article referred to the defeat df Mrs. Mallory as "an exemplary chatisement, a severe correction, an effective spanking" M. Wallet took exception to these expressions, and in letter printed in the official sec tion of Tennis and Golf insisted that the French federation desired to relieve itself of all responsibility for the arti- cle, which he termed insulting to a friendly federation"
 NJ. Wallet now is charged with tim idity and upbraided for his alleged failure to stand by Frances fore most woman athlete" M. Wallet re- torts that "Daninos' is trying to form a soviet within the federation, and he carries the fight to another quar- ter when advocates that William T. Tilden be officially recognized in France as the singles champion of the world owing to his two defeats Of Gerald l.. Patterson, the Australian whom the French federation accents as the worlds champion. according to this seasons results at Wimbledon
 A movement is on foot to have the worlds championship decided in the various countries. Without challeng- ing Great Britains right to world championships in perpetuity" granted by the International Lawn Tennis federation. there is a strong element nj the French federation which would support a proposition if made in neutral quarters. to hold the cham pionshtp matches in Wimbledon nexi year, but afterwards in the countr, which holds the championship. Tht federation's of the various countries under this proposal would pay the ex. penses of their nominees to the cham. pionship tournament.

SPEAKER FROM RUSSIA
 ADDRESSES NORWICH AUDIENCE

At a meeting held Sunday evening in St. Nicholas church hall, Convent ave nue, Prof. D. T. Petruchuk, graduate of the University of Warsaw and the Institute of Technology. Petrograd, ad- dressed about 300 Russian and Polish people on Conditions in Russia, and the organization of a Norwich branch of the West Russian National Mutual Aid society was effected.
 Professor Petruchuk said there are about seven million Russian people in the territory given to Poland at the Riga conference. These people lost prac- tically all of their property during, the World war and at present are without means Of any kind. Added to this the local governments are in some cases strictly anti-orthodox and much of the church property. has been confscated. tt is the aim of this organization to, help these people and to restore their farms and religious institutions.
 Russia itself under soviet rules is in a bad way. The Russian peasants who form 80 per cent. of the population of Russia absolutely do not believe n bolshevism. If they could get in their hands the weapons and firearms which are stored in arsenals guarded by paid Chinese, Tartars, Let's and Baskars, the soviet government would soon fall. While the Red Army is recruited from peasants the army Is not in harmony with the government. The soldiers are
 nobiIized dn military camps and bar racks but are entirely without firearms of any kind. Rifles and revolvers are carried only by communists commits sars.
 If anyone else is found with firearms he is shot without trial. There has been a recent srlit in the communist party, the Right party headed by Kras- ership of Trotsky and Bukarin. The Right party Is attempting to negotiate with the population but the Left party deals with no one but communists. This split may soon cause the downfall of the soviet government in Russia. where about 200, 900, people by employing fire sword and starvation rule 4o,000, COG Russian population,
 The Russian people are very patient This is not the first time they have been in this condition Three hundred and seventeen years ago they were suffering as they are at present. but by deter mined effort they saved themselves and their country.
 We must not give up. hope that Russia will emerge from her difficulty and taSt her place as one or the strong anu gre1
 powers of the world. The bolshevist' claim that they are very willing to re- store the property that has been con fiscated but that the owners are reluct
 ant to accept it, until they learn what the bolsheyist game is.
