EAST INDIAN REDS
 OBEYING MOSCOW
Are Approaching JaVanese and
 Seeking to Convert Them

The Hague, Holland, Dec. 51.--- Communist activities In tho Dutch East Indies were indicated in A re- cent dispatch from Batavia, saying that the governor-general had been in consultation with the council of state of the East Indies to concert measures to deal with Bolshevlls agitation,
 Colonial newspapers just arrived here throw some further light on the movement of the Sarckat Rajat, the East Indian communist organi- zation, which seems to have branches throughout Hollands h. dian archipelago.
 According to the Batavia Nleus- blad. these native communists strict ly follow the Moscow program They conduct secret meetings. but seem to have met with but scant success in or near the bigger towns. Their latest plan seems to be to approach the Japanese individually in the small scattered villages, and so make propaganda for communism.
 The newspaper notes that the Chinese, who form an important part Of the trading population in these islands, are leaving Bolshevill propaganda severely alone.
 A fascist movement has also sprung up in Java lately. colonial papers state.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 12.-Mus-
icians jazzed to the tune Of 500 a
night even In ancient Greece. ac-
cording to Doctor Jean B. Beck.
professor Of romance language at
the University Of Pennsylvania and
instructor there IN history Of music.
who delivered the first lecture at
the Curtis Institute OF Music in a
unique series dealing, with the com
parative arts.
And while musicians jazzed the
wiseacres OF Greece put their heads
together and decided that such per-
fornlances were bad for the morals
Of the Grecian youths, lust as
they do today" Doctor Beck
smiled. so you see there have
always been two kinds OF music,
the music which deals with the
spirit and that which has to do
with the flesh.
