Portland, Me-, Sept. 1S.-Lieutenant
John Philip Sousa arrived here today
with his famous band. The band

luncheon was given in his honor.

furnished by one of the Portland

minded Mr.. Sousa of his first appear
once in public. It was at an Insane
Asylum when he was eleven years Of
age. He arrived for this purpose
right from baseball game and with
out previous preparation. Thus his
first appearance was an ignominous
failure. Mr.. Sousa's arrival in Port

was halted by mothers whose children

ON one subject Of another and by men
and women who heve attended every
concert since he first came to Port
| land. One man accosted him who
had last met him in Northern Africa.
To the correspondent of the Kennebec
Journal, Mr.. Sousa recalled his first
visit to Augusta in 1902 when Lewis
ton, Portland, Rockland, Bangor and
Skowhegan were all on his Maine
route. He was in Maine the closing
two weeks of his first tour with his
own band. He also recalled that he
had the best houses in Maine of any
place on his entire trip. This may
perhaps be the reason why he has
such kindly feeling toward Maine.
Interviews and greetings of old
friends gave Mr.. Sousa no rest be-
tween the matinee and evening con-
certs which were attended by large
and enthusiastic audiences. Many of
the best and most popular selections
on both the afternoon and evning pro-
grams will be repeated at Augusta

team A VICTOR
IN SCRIMMACE OF
C0NY GRlDDERS

The two Cony teams A and B, lined
up in battle formation yesterday art
ernoon and set to for scrimmage OF
about an hour, duringw hich time one
of the grid scraps in which Cony has
ever entered outside a real game was
fought out with Team A winning
with one touchdown to its credit, this
being gained when a punt was
blocked. The score was 60 in favor
of Team A at the end of the hour.
The Team B men were into the game
every minute and completed two for
ward passes although they never got
nearer the goal than the 25 yard line.
The teams put UP good competition
throughout the entire workout. The
lines were very aggressive and about
evenly matched as neither one nor
theo Their was able to do anything due
to the hard work of the opposing
factor, although one or two runs
around the ends were made for
slight gain. The men are all getting
into the game with fine spirit and all
are exerting every efforti n competi-
ton for places on the team. From all
appearances it looks as If Madison
will have a job on their hands Sat
urday afternoon when they invade
Augusta looking for grid laurels in a
clash with the Cony eleven.

No Settlement of
World Affairs Without
Russia, Bishops View

New York, Sept. 18-The Russian
Soviet government is unquestionably
one of the strongest governments in
Europe at the present time, Bishop
Edgar Blake of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church stated today upon his
arrival from Paris. where he has
charge of the work of the church in
southern Europe.
I'VE may not like the Soviets,"
said Bishop Blake, who came here
to attend the semiannual confer
ence to be held in Brooklyn in No
vember. but there can be no per-
manent settlement of Europe's and
the worlds affairs without Russia.
We may not like the Soviets, and we
may abominate their principles and
their practices, but we cannot ignore
them. The sooner America and Eu-
rope recognize this perfectly obvious
! fact the better it will be for Russia
and for the world"
Bishop Blake attended the council
of the Orthodox Russian Church in
Moscow last May. and made several
statements regarding the Soviets and
Russia in general which aroused
world wide interest.
"My sentiments on the Soviet stu
alton expressed after the Moscow
council have not changed" he said
today. Insofar as the Soviet gov
eminent seems to uplift the masses
of Russian people who for centuries
have been exploited and oppressed;
to educate and enlighten them to do
away with their poverty and distress.
. l am in sympathy with the
Soviets -.
Il do not approve of the form OF
the Soviet government. or the means
and methods employed to maintain 1t.
Theoretically the government is
dictatorship of the proletariat. Act
ually it is dicta torship OF the com.
munist party controlled by a small
; group Of very clever, very capable
and, I believe, sincere men. Instead
of a government of the workers, for
the workers, by the workers. Russia
is governed by an oligarchy as SUI
preme and dictatorial as was ever
the old czarist regime.
ut Is a matter Of the highest stra-
tegy and craftsmanship that Amer
lea should seek by every proper con-
tact to influence intellectual develop
ment among the Russian people.
cannot conceive policy more lack
ing in political sagacity and world
craftsmanship than to stand aloof
from Russia and allow the present
movement to harden into force that
may become a permanent menace to
the peace of the world"
The Soviet government at the pres
] ent time, Bishop Blake said. appears
to be tolerant toward religion and
toward those churches and priests
who confine their activities to the
duties of their God. The churches
Of Russia are not closed; $4,000
priests are doing their work as US
ual, he said. There has been abso-
lutely no interference from the gov
eminent
