RUSSIA'S WAR THREAT
NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Bolshevik Leaders May Be Using Menace

been received in Washington. have
been about reached. 1t is but natural
then that the Moscow regime should
consider diversions. These diversions,
strange as it may seem, do not con-
sist wholly of righting the wrongs
that have been committed through
misguided governmental system. but
embrace another war. Always in war
can the minds of peoples be taken
from prevailing troubles. Strange
as it may be seen the average Rus
sian today does not believe that war
can be much worse than their at
present unenviable position.
Proposed Red Campaign
According to dispatches which have
emanated through certain channels
the Bolshevik leaders are about to
initiate a campaign against Poland
and Rumania with the hope Of estab-
fishing a definite link with Jugo-Sla.
via and Bulgaria. There are hatreds
aplenty in the Russian heart for the
peoples involved to make any conflict
Of this character popular. Leaders In
Moscow would be in a position to
wage their campaign along national
istic lines and convince the unsettled
teeming millions Of Russian people
that Bolshevism is upon the eve Of
achieving world goals Of which the
people have heard so much.
The calculations of Russian lead
ers embrace the conquest OF Germany
in case the Polish campaign Is sue
cessful, of course they must count
upon antipathies toward the present
Germany government in labor circles
to help them establish a Bolshevik
regime in Germany, thereby dominat-
ing the continent 1t is an old dream.
one often advanced by Moscow. 1t is
one. strange as 1t may seem, that has
been rejected by German communists
themselves save those radical ex-
tremist elements of political life. The
saner sociaIistic elements always
seem able to control these situations
, when they actually become menacing
Ends to BE Gained.
The Bolshevists, undoubtedly, II
their purposes be accurately reported,
aim to carry out old grudges against
Poland, settle the Bessarabian ques-
ton to suit themselves and hold In
eastern Europe, a constant potential
threat against other governments.
With Frances commitments to Poland
and the Little Entente 1T is hard to
visualize any Russian incursion that
would not involve the nations of
western Europe. If true the whole
situation is menacing. But there is
every reason to believe that the Boil
| shevist gestures of today are but
to bring pressure upon western pow
ers to gain economic ends, always
futilely negotiated in the past because
| of strange demands and impossible
! conditions advanced by Moscow.
Out of the whole situation one con-
clusion safely may be drawn. Boil
sheyists in Moscow will threaten, but
las a matter Of fact the menace may
be minimized. Foreign Offices of
world capitals expect Russia to
change her coat through the activi-
| ties of Russians themselves, when
economic pressure becomes greater.
And they confidently expect that Boil
shevism and Communism in Russia
as now constituted cannot last indef-
| initely. There are many fundament-
al signs pointing to the soundness OF
| this theory.

population of 100000, more than Is

THE expenditure per capita for city
school children is about $50. The ex-
penditure per capita for rural school
children is about $44.
"City children enjoy longer school

BY EDWARD F. ROBERTS.

LISTER, for centuries the
scene of bitter and bloody
factional warfare, is at
peace at last. and, with feet
set firmly on the broad highway of
commercial prosperity. is breathing
new life and energy into the great
industries which. in the past. have
carried the fame of Northern Ireland
to every quarter Of the world.
A tremendous and remarkable re-
ligious revival, which has extended
to all creeds and faiths, marks the
era Of peace and good will which has
succeeded so many dreary years of
bloodshed and hatred.
The striking change which has
come over the Province Of the Blood
red Hand" was described to me by
w. Hubert Webb. president Of the
Irish Linen Society and one of the
best known industrial leaders of
Northern ireland. Mr.. Webb has
large business interests in the United
States, and is a frequent visitor to
this country.
Real Peace at Last.
II have never known the time"
he said, when there was such
genuine peace and good will in
Northern Ireland as there exists to-
day. The old spirit of religious and
racial intolerance seems to have
completely disappeared and Catholics
and Protestants are working to-
gether to rebuild our industries
which were so grievously shattered
by the war"
us there any one particular fac
tor which has brought about this
condition." I asked.
THE gradual realization on the
part of the Catholic minority that
they could be assured of justice and
fair play from the northern govern
ment has of course had a very power
| full effect" replied Mr.. Webb. "but
the most dramatic factor has been
| the great religious revival which is
very much in evidence today in Bel
fast and all through Ulster"
rs this the result Of a deliberate
| campaign on the part of the
| churches!'
mo. I would hardly regard it in
that light. 1t seems to me a spon-
taneous movement which marks the
great reaction from all the bitter
| ness and violence which we have suf-
fered in recent years 1t is not con-
| fined to any one church but is shared
in by our people of all faiths and
religious beliefs. The Protestant
ings which are attended by enormous
| crowds and the Catholic churches
have missions which are thronged by
people of that faith. After all it is
| impossible that men of tho same race
could continue to hate each other in
definitely on such flimsy grounds as
political differences or even Of vary
| ing religious creeds"

Good VIII for Free State.
II am not qualified to act as spokes-

| are concerned we cherish no ilI-will
| and hope sincerely that the people of
| the Free State will find a speedy and
happy solution to their problems.
Speaking solely as an outside OBJ
| server, 1t seems to me that the big
gest problem the Free State has to
face at present Is in connection with
labor. The labor people 'seem to be
carrying matters with a pretty high
hand in the south and have forced
wages up far above the level either
in Ulster or England and in that
way they seriously hamper tho re-

THAT any nation cannot per-
sistently defy and mock the
ethics of international rela-
tionships, economic, social and
financial, never was better illustrated
than in the case of Russia. BolsheV-
ism or communism hideously wound
ed Russia. But with complacency
bolshevik leaders turned to the world
and said: Now watch US success
fully reveal how far wrong are your
methods of government Watch US
implant a real rule of people by the
people" Whereupon in an era of as
sassination. arson and intimidation
they effected the communistic form
of government, establishing it firmly
within the realm of the old Russian
Empire.
The bolsheviks failed dismally in
their subsequent efforts to rule. A
Mecca was not so easily to be
reached. When the f1oodtides of self
ish interest and lust subsided boil
shevik leaders in Moscow became
painfully aware that the world bore
testimony to their accomplishments
only with a shudder. A once great
hands were extended politically. Nat
urally, economically Russia began to
suffer. Instead of forward progress
there was retrogression. A great
famine gripped the nation and hun
dreds of thousands Of lives were
wiped out Through American gen.
erosity, and this alone, Russia was
saved from a debacle making all 9TH
ers in centuries past pale into insig-
nificance. But communistic leaders,
undeterred, continued to press home
their peculiar MARKHAM theories of
government Russia sank back fur
ther. Attempts to implant bolshevis-
tic regimes in other nations, in order
that economic succor for Russia
might come as consequence, were fu-
tile. Other nations are farther away
from bolshevism than ever before,
peoples generally thoroughly realiz-
ing the hideous aspects OF the Rus
sian upheaval. Russia as a conse-
quence has been slipping, slipping,
and today as nation, even a COM
munistic state. it is beset with dire
possibilities and filled with forebod-
ing.
Progress Has Been Backward.
Russia's progress has been back
ward.
lf-baked attempts of certain
Americans and radicals Of other ma
tions to paint a roseate picture Of
Russia have been futile Moscow
leaders themselves have come to re-
alize that but little can be expected
of other nations, not even the COM
ing conference between the English
and Bolsheviks, unless there be a
radical change of governmental
method or far-reaching proofs that
the Moscow government has mended
its ways and set its feet upon safer
pathways than those pursued during
the past few years. As a conse-
quence they already are anticipating
another cruel Winter with attendant
miseries Leaders are frantically
casting about to find ways out of
their dilemma They would preserve
the shell of government that they
have founded.

OFFlCIATES IN 275
 GAMES IN DOZEN YEARS
Edward Cochrane, Kansas City sports Writer, Holds Record
 For Grid Work

Kansas City Mo. Oct. 15.-An of- ftcial in 275 games in l2 years most of them as referee-is the rec ord of Edward W. Cochrane. local sports editor, who probably has refereed more games in that time than any other sports writer in the United States and as many as any other football referee.
 This is remarkable number of eridiron contests, considering the fact that the football season lasts about seven weeks each fall.
 This seasons schedule for the Kansas City man is typical of the schedule he has had every fall since he started officiating in the Missorr, Valley district in 1912. He has 30 games listed, including the Nebras- ka-Oklahoma, Kansas U.-Oklahoma A. and M,, Iowa State Drake, Drake Kansas Aggies. Southern Methodist University Oklahoma A. and M., Kansas Washington L., Drake Grinnell Iowa State-Nubraska and the Southern Methodist Arkansas contests.
 Cochrane was selected as official of the Notre- Dame Nebraska game but could not accept because of a previous engagement.
