SCHOOL CHILDREN HELP
 STOP MOTOR ACCIDENTS
One Thousand Students In san Tran cisco Organized Into Traf-
 fc Reserve Force.

San Francisco, Dec. @t-One thous- and public school boys of San Fran cisco, from ? to IS years old, have been organized into q traffic reserve force. Like the regular traffic police men they are posted on the corners surrounding schools where they regu- late the progress of automobiles and see that their fellow students cross the streets safely. They study the city ordinances and are drilled in signals by traffic officers of the police de- partment.
 This IS an extension of q campaign against accidents started here 10 months ago by the police department. in cooperation with the California state automobile association. A com mittee of citizens was appointed to work with the police in suppressing reckless driving and careless walking. and in supervising the flow of traffic.
 During the 10 months the death late for motor accidents here was re duced 25 per cent from that of the same period in 1922, according to sta tistics prepared by the association

U. s. NARSHIPS PLAN
 EXTENSIVE MANEUYERS
To Constitute Mimic War Rather Than sham
  Rattle

Los Angeles, Dec. 2t.--Maneuyers of such magnitude as to constitute a mimic war. rather than sham bat tie, will test existing conceptions of defense affecting the Panama Canal when the United States fleet begins its operations for 1921 at midnight on Jan. ], according to naval officers here.
 Prominent among the new phases Of combat expected to enter into this war" for possession of the canal will be the influence of dirigible air. craft on surface maneuvers at sea. The Shenandoah, the navy's new giant dirigible. will remain aloft through out the meueuyers. supported strong ly by squadrons Of combat craft by day. and ascending above the clouds at night
 Eighteen hrst-time battleships. 7e destroyers. 300 planes Of all types. 50 submarines and hundreds of fleet aux Hilary craft will combine to make the canal defense maneuyers the most ex- tensive vet undertaken by the Ameri- can navy.
 One feature of the "hostilities" will be a landing expedition. to utilize all available marines. who will launch an artillery and infantry attack against the United States army forces de- tending the canal
 The battle fleet, under Rear Ad- miral Samuel $. Robinson, will open the operations with g surprise attack against the Pacific side of the canal. which will be defended by a scouting fleet under Nice-Admiral Newton Mc- Gully.
 There will be an air problem for both sides, the Pacific force using catapulted planes for local scouting, and the Atlantic force sending out plane fleets from it's aircraft carriers, the Langley and the Wright, Sub maries also will be used in the de- tpnse of the canal.
 The first use of aircraft fog and smoke screens in such operations will take place at Panama when, in com bined air attack on the canal. the army will interpose an aerial screen,
 The land and sea attack will simu- late in many ways the Allied assaults on Gallinoli during the war.

SOVIETS SAY YES
 WE HAVE NJ RUSSIA
Former Name of Country Is
 Dropped Into Discard

London, Dec. 2l-"There is no Rus sia," says a news article in the Daily Mail. "A strange statement but true. Russia has officially ceased to exist as a name in the mouths of those who now control the destinies of that country.
 About three months ago they took decision which has remained strangely secret. They notified the various nations with whom they have trade relations that the title of their government was changed from that of the Russian Soviet Republic to the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, contracted after Russian fashion to |. $. S E. The word Russia" WAS dropped completely.
 At the same time the emblems upon their official uotepaper, the crossed hammer and sickle, were now sur rounded by q semi-circle of labels bearing the names of the various parts of the country and it's adjacent terri tories wherein independent local soviet governments have been formed, such as Ukraine" ''A2erbaijan,' and 50 on. But not only these, for the name Bulgaria" was astonishingly added, the name of an entirely inde- pendent state.
 From this it is clear that the au- thorities in Moscow regard themselves as potentially the masters of every where, and not al all limited by the boundaries of Russia. Needless to say the British government in it's deal ings with the soviet government has never accepted or used this predatory title.
 The matter is of some importance As undoubtedly England is on the verge of renewing relations with Rus sia officially The liberal party has made it d plank or at least small board, in it's election platform. The conservative government has had the matter under consideration for some time past, and was disposed to recog- nize the soviet government but with this major difference, that it would only do so after the Russians had recognized the principle of pre- soviet Russian indebtedness, and had agreed 10 reinstate or compensate British subjects in their Russian property.

DEAD, SAYS
LAWYER
Failure to Give Amendment a
Number NuIIifies It, HoI-
land Writes Smith.

Because Congress passed the pro-
hibition amendment and the woman
suffrage amendment Immediately fol-
lowing without designating them by
number the prohibition amendment
is dead, according to Walter Holland,
Washington attorney, who has set
forth these statements in letter to
Governor Smith of New York.
Mr.. Holland says that the so-called
Eighteenth Amendment was repealed
on August "a, 1920, by passage of
the so-called Nineteenth Amend
ment. Both amendments-they are
called articles" in the Constitu-
tion-were passed by the Congress
with the word article" as a title,
but without a number succeeding
the word article"
The attorney points out that,
therefore, there are two laws bear
ing the same title, each being
known officially as Article ="
He says that of two articles hav-
ing the same number or designa-
ton, and adopted at different times,
the later, or younger article re-
places and repeats the former article
of the same number.

Movement Is Well Organized.
International News Service.

ESSEN, May 24.-Several persons
were killed and many wounded in
fighting which ragged throughout the
night at Dortmund. Clashes also
took place between Communists and
police at Gelsenkirchen.
Firemen were organized into volun
teer police and were assisted by
members Of the Citizens Self-Defense
League.
Gelsenkirchen was gripped in a
reign of terror all night with gusts
of firing in the streets. A we'll
organized red revolutionary move
ment has arisen in towns along the
northern boundary of the Ruhr as a
result of French occupation.
The total membership of the Com.
munist organization in the Ruhr is
put at 10000.
There are about a half million
workers in the Ruhr, many of whom
were driven by dire misery into the
ranks of the reds. This applies es-
pecially to the coal miners.
The reds are threatening a general
strike unless the following demands
are met:
1. Disarmament of the Citizens
Self-Defense League.
2. Noninterference by firemen in
the activities of the Communists.
3. Police duties be given to the
Communists.
