Twenty-four hundred cases of liquor

B. Ogden Chisholm of New York, a
retired banker and well known advO-
q fhot
President Coolidge had appointed him
international prison commissioner, to
succeed the late John Koren. Mr..
Chisholm is known as an ardent advo-
cate Of the international code of pro-
cedure in the handling of prisoners,
which he said he would try to have
adopted by the international prison
congress when it meets in London in
1925.
President Coolidge and Secretary OF
State Hughes were quick to rebuke the
recent Russian soviet request for ne
gotiations because they were con-
vinced that the soviet approached
America as a "wolf in sleeps cloth
ing" and has evidence that it still
sought to "raise the red flag over the
White House." Secretary Hughes
made public the text of instructions re-
Gently given by Zienoviff, president of
the Communist Internationale and
president of the Moscow soviets, to the
Workers party of America, the com
munist organization in America which
is seeking to undermine the govern
ment of this country and working to
try to overthrow it.

identified as Fletcher's. He was frOz-
en- while sleeping in the open as stip-
ulated in the wager. Fletcher who
was on the last lap of his journey, had
crawled under a haystack for protec-
ton from the cold. The wager was
made with the American Athletic AS

Soldiers bonus legislation received
a. setback with the refusal of the
House ways and means committee to
give it right Of way over administra-
tive provisions of the treasury's tax
bill. The committee declined, however,
to sidetrack it until a decision is
reached as to what changes should be
made in tax rates. The bonus was
given another jolt by Secretary Mel
lon, who declared in letter to Rep
resentative Andrew, Republican, Mas
sachusetts, that if the compensation
measure vetoed by President Harding
were enacted the direct cost would
total S5,400, 6,444, and would average

If the soviet authorities are ready to
repeal their decree repudiating Rus
Sia's obligations to this country and
appropriately recognize them, they can
do so. 1t requires no conference or
negotiations to accomplish these re-
suits, which can and should be
achieved at Moscow as evidence of
good faith.
"The American government has not
incurred liabilities to Russia or re-
pudiated obligations. Most serious is
the continued propaganda to over
throw the institutions of this country.
This government can enter into no ne
gotiatiOns until these efforts directed
from Moscow are abandoned"
Mr.. Hughes folio we'd this up by
making public the text of instructions
by Zinoviev, president Of the cOmmu-
mist international and of the PetrOgrad
soviet, to the Workers Party. of Amer
lea, dated August 1923, telling the COM
munist organization how to carry on
the work of undermining the institu-
tions of this country. The Department
of Justice yOuches for the authenticity
of these instructions, which must be
interesting reading for those senators
and congressman who, having visited
Russia during the summer, are now
clamOring for recognition of the soviet
regime.
Senators Borah and Norris attacked
the administration Russian policy
sharply and Senator Lodge promised
the foreign relations committee would
investigate the question of recognition.
Secretary Ruthenberg of the Workers
Party of America says the alleged
Zinoviev letter is fraudulent and was
never received by the organization.
He accuses the State and Justice de-
partments of devising a "frameup."
D AMSAY MACDONALD, leader of
AN the Labor party, is ready to un-
dertake the government of Great Brit
ain soon after parliament meets on
Jan. s, and it is now taken for granted
that he will be given the chance. In
a recent conference with Sir John
Bradbury, British member Of the rep
arations commission, he emphasized
his opposition to a partial and linn
tied inquiry into German affairs and
also to an inquiry conducted solely
by financial experts, who he thinks
might be too much Influenced by the
French. What he now plans is to
call a general world conference to
deal with the European situation and,
if necessary, to revise the Versailles
treaty. However, Mr. Macdonald does
not desire to antagOnize France, for
he aims at disarmament and knows
this requires the cooperation of the
French.
The Russian soviets tried to make
capital out of the Laborite victory in
the British elections and sent a con-
gratulatory telegram with an offer of
assistance in consolidating the power
of labor in England. MI. Macdonald
replied that he would consider the
message as never sent. His govern
ment when it comes into power will
nor be "red" nor even strictly trades
union and will be little more friendly
to the soviets than was the old gov
ernment.

Whether or not you say you are

fact that she did not tell you about
it. That IS starting out all wrong.
