"Science has long known that from

ued Mr.. Thorburn. is that the karnak
formula is purely vegetable. While
many modern medicines contain min

origin, Karnak IS produced entirely
from roots, barks and herbs of the

DEAD PILED IN HEAPS

The ruins Of Yokohama were still
smoldering and the bodies of the dead
were still scattered through the streets
when the United States transport
Merritt arrived from the Philippine
Islands with the American relief ex-
petition eight days after the city had
been destroyed by the earthquake OF

of the officers who accompanied the
expedition. who has been assigned to
The Third Motor Repair Battalion at
Camp Normoyle since April II.
On the first day of the disaster,
Lieutenant Meeden states. Yokohama
and Toxic experienced 210 quakes and
on the second day 323. Between Sep
TENDER ! and II. 1919 distinct quakes
visited that section of Japan, num-
Der of them occurring after the Amer
Jeans reached Yokohama.
The earthquakes are described by
Lieutenant Meeden as having a pecu-
liar vertical lifting thrust to them.
Some of those experienced by the
Americans were so severe that they
threatened to knock down the tents in
which the soldiers and nurses were
quartered. There were no more build
ings to be destroyed, so these later
quakes did no damage.
River Boiling Hot.
So great was the heat from the fires
that destroyed the business section Of
Toxic after the earthquakes that the
water Of the Sumeda river became
boiling not.
One of the most horrible incidents
connected with the disaster occurred
at the HOMO Athletic Park. When
the first started to burning, people
flocked there from every direction I'M

were in the grounds. The approaching
fires cut off all escape and the entire
crowd was destroyed by the flames.

Communist Educational Pressing Need

carry on the work Of communist
agitation and organization.
Need For Trained Workers.
Never in the history of the com
munist movement in this country
has the need for such education been
so apparent as now. The party has
initiated and participated in cam
paigns which, during the last year,
extended its influence considerably.
The left wing movement in the trade
unions has been appreciably strength
ened thru our industrial policy. On
the political field as well, thru our
general labor party agitation, we
have gained ground. But this very
absorption in making the communist
party of action has produced this
situation-that we are not fully pre-
pared to take control of the militant
forces our work developed. We lack
trained comrades to undertake execu-
tive Offices. We lack even COM
rades who have a theoretical back
ground sufficient to do the minimum
of communist propaganda necessary
amongst those whose sympathy we
have aroused thru our campaigns.
A Concrete Situation.
This has been particularly evident
in certain local unions in New York,
where left wing sentiment had de-

sirable, is yet scheme for the fut-
ure. What we need is a plan that
can be put into effect right now. And
at the present time we must look to
local centers to start educational work
with the assistance Of the national or
ganization.
The New York District has already
made a promising beginning. Early
last fall a school was organized and
several class started in history,
Marxism, English, etc. For a while
these ran along with some degree of
success, but to make the school more
effective it was found necessary to
reorganize it, systematizing its work
and placing it more directly under
the control of the District Executive
Committee. This was done, and at
the present writing Board of Direc-

OF our movement, and must be rene
died If we are to reap gains in mem
bership and communist control. Com
munist educational work should be an
integral part Of the general activities
of the party. The Central Commit
tee of the party should adopt clear
cut educational policy. It should
recognize that to train comrades for
special functions such as executives,
organizers, speakers, ETC., and to
make the membership at large effec-
tive communist propagandists in their
contact with other workers. is as
much the task of a party Of action
as participation in the Labor Party
campaign. To appreciate this task
merely in theory, however, is not
enough. The Central Executive
Committee should give the problem
practical consideration and, indeed,
consider the furtherance Of educa-
tional work an essential item in its
budget. 1t should also actively sup
port and encourage local educational
ventures.

organization.
Must Be Centralized.
With all the enthusiasm and en-
ergy that the District itself may put
into the venture, however, its success
depends to quite an extent upon the
support given by the Central Execu-
tive Committee. We must recognize
that education is an essential phase
of party organization and develop
ment. Intensive educational pre-
paration of our members must there
fore proceed concomitantly with the
practical work of the party. One
does not exclude but rather compile
ments, reinforces, the other. We do
not become a party of theory by
emphasizing educational training. On
the contrary, such emphasis increases
the possibilities for activity because
it puts more qualified comrades into
the field. Having developed a left
wing sentiment, we must train men
and women to guide and organize Il.
To the extent that our movement is
young and inexperienced, this task
becomes more significant. We are
confronted with its need at every step
in our work. Every worker who is a
member Of the party is in a way q
pioneer. He is blazing the trail that
will lead ultimately to the seizure Of
power by an organized, class-con-
scious body of workers. To equip him,
to arm him, is pressing duty. And
that must be the function Of our
educational efforts.
Education For Activity.
! Let those comrades who dread q
return to the old aimless, unprodue-
tive theoretical spouting lay aside
their fears. We are not concerned
with education for the sake of educa-
ton. In recognizing the inter-de-
pendence Of educational training
with practical activity we infuse life
and purpose into the teaching Of COM
munist scence and world history. The
party, it is true, cannot grow merely
by establishing classes in historical
materialism and the development Of
the American labor movement. But
neither can it be built exclusively
thru political manoevres unless those
with whom we carry on our work are
able to plant the seeds of communist
principles and aims in the ground we
plough. In other words, education
of the party membership must be
made an instrument for increasing
party activity and strengthening our
influence as party of deeds, not OF
words.

Before the installation of receiv-

would make temporary repairs upon

make permanent repairs. Later an
attempt to have the emergency trucks

|M'BRIDE SIGNS
WITH DETROIT
Former Senator Star Signs
to Aid Cobb in Hand
| ling Tigers.
BIG ASSET TO CLUB

George Mcbride, former Washing
ton shortstop and manager, retired
since 1921 because of poor health,
will return to baseball next spring as
assistant to Ty Cobb, manager of the
Detroit Tigers.
Mcbride today confirmed the report
which emanated from Detroit yester-
day that he had signed with Navin.
"Yes, I'm going with the Tigers"
said Mcbride today. "It is a one
year proposition. What my duties
will be can't just say. All l know
is that I was offered fine PROPOSE
tion by both Cobb and Navin and l
have decided to go back next year.
Mcbride stated that the Tigers
sought his services last season, but he
decided to give his time TO business.
At the worlds series game this year
he met Cobb and Ty again renewed
his suit and, after consideration, the
Milwaukee man decided to accept. Nc
Bride and Cobb were together during
the full seven games of the series and
the pair had plenty of opportunity to
discuss the Tigers next season prob
lens. While Mcbride has been out of
the game actively since 1921 he has
kept in close touch with baseball. He
was one of the most popular players
in the game and had it not been for
an unfortunate injury resultant of be-
ing "beaned" he unquestionably would
not have severed his relations with or
ganized baseball. A vacation was
needed, however, so Mcbride dropped
out of the limelight until this season
when the call of the game proved too
strong for him to resist.
Mcbride is certain to be big help
to the Tigers. The Milwaukee man
has had twenty years Of baseball ex-
perience, the majority of which was
spent in the major leagues. Cobb
who is acting as playing manager
needs some one of keen ability and
judgment to help him. The Tigers
have an excellent chance next season
to win the American league flag and
McBride's services should prove in
valuable to the Detroit management
Mcbride does not think there Is
much more back of the recent bribine
scandal at New York than just what
has been exposed. II know that this
may sound queer, but that is the gen.
eral impression and belief of the ma
jority of baseball men ! talked to
