Golf Improves as
Smile Broadens
Presidential Vacationing
Gets Well Under Way
In Florida

Rockledge, Fla., March y
President Harding's vacation
smile broadens day by day as his
golf gets better and better.
The unwritten law that forbids
discussion of technical details or
Presidents game and score can
not hide the fact that Mr.. Hard
ing seems to have perpetual
smile, as broad as in campaign
days, while General Hell and
Maria" Dawes, his golf partner,
is also extremely pleased. Their
opponents, +. r. Mclean and AL
bert Lasker, are believed to be
trailing badly.
The President planned to stop
here today, because Rockledge is
the home of Mrs. Harding's
brother. Also, there is a golf
course here, and another nearby,
at Cocoa.
Consequently the entire popula-
ton of the town was up early to-
day and down at the river bank
to watch for the houseboat Pi-
oneer which was expected to
poke its nose around the last
bend shortly before noon.
All such plans OF the presiden-
tial party were subject to mo-
mentary change, however, as Mr..
Harding's first consideration is
for Mrs. Harding's health. and
he doesn't want hurrying along
that may overtax her strength.
A tentative schedule under
which the Pioneer now is sail
ing calls for arrival at Palm
Beach tomorrow or Saturday and
at Miami about Monday, after
which the return trip to st. Aug
ustine will begin.

SHADOWS FALLING
Revolution in Russia
Spreads and Reds Are
Waiting For Break of
Winter for Hostilities

London, March S-Russia today
ordered millions of arms from
Sweden, Germany and Czecho-Slo-
vakia tas a rebel movement, in
which two divisions of Don Cos
sacks joined, gained ground in
fighting near Kieff, according to
reports from Copenhagen and
HelsiDgfors.
Three million rifles, 10000
machine guns and 40 airplanes
are reported to have been order
ed, as the red army prepares for
possible spring drive or revo-
luton.
A rebel movement in the Don
etz district spread today. The
rebels took Wasitkey and moved
on Kieff.
All the old world today seemed
preparing for war in the spring.
Reports from half a dozen coun-
tries indicated martial prepara-
tions under way-with conflict APP
parently only awaiting the break
ND of winter.
Some Of the reports reaching
London, today were:
THE French are rushing re-
Inducements to Syria, and Gen
Gousxisd is going there in per-
son, owing to- warnings that guer-
lila warfare against France has
been planned for April.
2-An unconfrmed report from
Warsaw says the Poles have start
ed machinery to call 100000 re-
servists to the colors; Poland is
believed preparing for possible
war on at least three frontiers.
S-The shadow of holy war
fell across the Near East with
discovery of plots by Young
Turks to influence the new calipn
to summon Mohammedans to
arms, followed by proclamations
posted in all the Moslem quarters
of Constantinople, ordering Mo-
hommedans of military age, re-
gardless of nationality, to report
at once to recruiting stations.
4-Britain is watching anxious
ly the Ruhr and Bavaria in the
fear that in one or both of these
storm centers, unrest may break
into open warfare soon; it is be
,lieved likely in view of recent
developments, British troops will
be withdrawn from the Rhine next
month.
5-Jugo Slavia, Bulgaria, Italy
Lithuania, Soviet Russia and
Greece are involved in Guerilla
warfare or anticipate resumption

Fire Last Night
Try United Pressl


Pittsburgh, March S-Police and
firemen today are searching the
ruins of he Shelton building on
the north side for bodies of per-
sons reported missing after fire
swept the structure last night.
One man, Gustav Bickel, 40 is
known to be dead and thirty
others are in hospitals suffering
from burns and bruises received
in jumping from windows.
Two spiritalist churches and
the Stone cutters union were in
session when the fire broke out,
preceded by three loud explosions
which shook the building ari
threw the occupants in a state OF
terror.
Police estimated $50 persons
were in the building, which is
largely used for lodge meetings.
They Immediately made rush for
exits and when cut off by smoke
and flame dashed to windows.
The majority of women were let
out from a side window onto the
roof of an adjoining building
whence they rnsched safety down
a fire escape to the street. Cause
of the fire has not been deter
mined, but fremen are investi-
eating the report the explosion
which preceded the fire was due
to leaking gas in a shoe repair
shop on the ground floor.
After a thorough search OF
the ruins, police believed all per-
sons have been accounted for.
The property loss was estimated
at 100000.
