following this course Of delivering
over Esthonia to subsection by Eng.
lish capital. But in this attempt at
betrayal Of the interests of the mass
of the population of Esthonia, the
Ethonian bourgeoisie encounters the
energetic resistance of the united
class conscious Esthonian proletariat.
And the bloc of all bourgeois and
petty-bourgeois groups, eagerly sup
ported by the Esthonian social-democ.
racy, has now decided to open the way
to this treachery by means of crush.
ing the organizations of the Esthon.
ian working class.
In January of this year there was
carried out simultaneously thruout the
whole country, mass house-searchings
and wholesale arrests Of Communists.
The Esthonian secret police broke
into perfectly legal workers meetings
and seized the victims they had
marked down beforehand. All the ac
tive functionaries Of the Esthonian
trade union movement were victims
of this attack, as well as the pioneers
of the Esthonian working women. In
other places again, il was the staff of
the workers educational organizations
or finally, the members of the Esthon
ian state assembly, who are legally
immune from arrest There are ten
members Of this assembly who are
organized in two revolutionary work.

Declined with Thanks

Charles Evans Hughes, Morgan-Standard Oil
steel trust secretary of state, breathes his most
honeyed phrases in greeting the appointment of
a new Japanese ambassador to the United States.
"Silent" Calvin Coolidge became articuIate long
enough to deprecate bellicose statements by rear
admirals socalled because of the aversion to lift
ing their posterors from the swivel chairs. These
warlike gentlemen like the smell of powder from
the shoulders Of society ladies. They like to spit
fire and drink fire water. Sometimes these morons
are useful to the capitalists in tanning the flames
of public passion to a white heat. They are then
unmuzzled. But just now, Wall Street is soft
pedalling its fighting vocabulary.
The two leading functionaries of Wall Street,
Hughes and Coolidge, are speaking like Quakers.
Japan is irritated and almost in state of panic
over the proposed naval maneuvers iii the Pacific.
The suspected secret alliance between England and
the United States does not add to the Mikado gov
ernment's equanimity. In order to soothe the
troubled mind of the Mikado the United States
government offered to send its fleet on visit to
Toxic after participating in next years naval
maneuvers at Hawaii. But the Japanese govern
ment declined the offer with thanks. Soft words
don't butter parsnips cause conflicting interests
Of the capitalist nations to vanish.

William Green, secretary of the United Mine

Attempted Bribery

An information charging attempt to
bride a witness was ordered filed by
Judge Theodore Lentz in district court
at Missoula, against Felix Dumontier,
who was acquitted on a liquor charge
Dec. 5.
Judge Lentz' action resulted when
Bud Holiday, witness for the state at
Dumontier's trial, appeared Thursday
after failing to show up Wednesday,
When asked by the Judge to explain
his absence, he said that he was drunk
and that he had secured the liquor
from Dumontier. Further questioning
brought the allegation by Holiday that
Dumontier not only had given him the
liquor but also had offered him $100'
to stay away from the trial. A Jail
of 80 days was imposed on
Holiday.

NAVAL AIR TRAGEDY
TAKES FIVE LIVES
UIane Tumbles 1900 Feet Above Ocean
as Pilot of Machine Attempts
h. A Vertical Turn

San Diego, Cal.-Five officers and
2. of the battle fleet air squadrons,
were killed ind three others probably
fatally injured, when the huge twin
motored H-16 type seaplane In which
they were engaging in aerial target
practice nose-dived 1,20O feet into the
sea Dec. 10. The accident was the
worst In the history of naval aviation.
Although aviation officials at North
Island believe that the exact cause of
the tragedy probably will never be
known, a fairly accurate idea of what
happened was obtained from Lieuten-
ant Joseph H. Cowan, pilot of the
seaplane towing the target for the H
16. and from observers at Rockwell
field.
The H-16 plane was flying at a speed
of about SIS miles an hour when Lieut.
tenant Varini attempted a right verti-
cal turn. The ship at that instant was
about 1900 feet above the ocean and
about half a mile southwest of Point
Iona.
Either the controls damned or one or
more of the wires running to the rud-
der and ailerons snapped. The plane
weighing more than a ton, went into o
spin, plunging with terrific speed to-
ward the sea, finally crashing in the
surf about 500 yards directly west OF
the officers quarters at Rockwell
field.
Splinters from the wrecked plane
covered the sea for several hundred
feet. 1t is believed that all five men in
the forward cockpits were killed in
stantly and not drowned, as the re-
covered bodies were horribly mangled.

CANCELLATION IS
GIVEN A SETBACK
MILITARY CONTROL COMMISSION
TO BE SHORN OF
AUTHORITY
GERMANY BECOMING WARL|KE
InteraIlied Military Control Body Say
Versailles Provisions Not
Carried Out

Paris.-The process of Cancellation
between Germany and the allies, par
ticularly with France, has received a
setback, it is feared in French circles,
by the report of the interallied military
control mission in Germany, to the eff
feet that the provisions of the Yer
sailles treaty concerning disarmament
are not being carried out.
The allied commission, according to
the report, has found that the German
general staff continues its deliber-
atoms, as it did before the war; that
the German arms factories are turn
ing out new war materials and that,
contrary to the treaty, there is in Ger
many an effective force of soldiers far
surprising the limit fixed by the Yer
sailles pact.
The commission complains Of innum-
cradle hindrances put in the way of
it's work. These hindrances, it was
stated, did not, however, prevent it
from discovering factories installed for
the production Of arms and munitions
and the finding of secret stocks of
northumberland rifles and cannon.
The opinion in French official circles
is that Germany's activities in re-es-
ta%blishing her military equipment and
keeping up an unauthorized trained
force of men, is more directly threaten
ing to Poland than to France, because
She has less to gain from war than
the c%onciliatory negotiations
the new French government has
inaugurated and because the revenge
in Germany runs much strong
ar against Poland than against France.

MILWAUKEE RAILROAD LIKELY
TO ABSORB NORTH G. SOUTH

The steps to be taken in the COM
pletion of the North & South railroad,
the route of which extends from Cas-
per, to Miles City, depends in a large
upon the outcome of lawsuits
amounting to 100000 which will be
opened In Buffalo, Wyo., December 10.
The suits are brought by the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway COM
pany and the firm of Robert Brothers,
Peterson, Shirley and Gunther, Of
Omaha, general contractors Of the
North & South against the receivers Of
the railroads and the railroad company
together with the Reliable Security
company, hackers of the project.
The Milwaukee and the contractors
ask for mechanics liens against the
railroad property, to satisfy claims Of
S 1,450.242 for alleged balance due for
work, mats furnished and anticipated
profits, equipments and rental of
equipments.
If the claimants are successful, the
liens will absorb the present value of
the railroad.
