BY ROBT. UNDERWOOD JOHNSON
Former American Ambassador to
Italy.

TIME French saying when mys-
terious crimes occur, "Cherchez
la Femme! Qook for the woman),
i now has a counterpart in inter
national disturbances, Cher
chez les Soviets!'
We seem to be on the eve of new
upheavals in many quarters of the
globe. The Egyptian phase Of revolt
eliminated in the murder of Sir Lee
Stack; the outbreak in Bulgaria forced
the authorities to resort to violence
in order to repress violence; Bess-
arabia, the buffer of Rumania. is
constantly being invaded from Rus,
sian Moldavia. Similar unrest has
been reported from India, Afghanis-
tan, Persia and Mexico. The two most
recent outbreaks have been In Canton,
which has become the center of
factional strife that takes on the color
of civil war, and in Morocco, where
natives Of the Riff have challenged
the overlordship of France. which,
under the wise and benevolent con-
troll of Marshal Lyautey, appeared to
be complete.
Reds Proud of Work.
In nearly every one ,of these In
stances the red hand Of Moscow is
seen pulling the wires behind the cur
tain Indeed it is significant that
there is not only no effort on the part
of the Russians to conceal this com
plicity. but a desire to exploit it, as
matter of pride in what can be accom-
plished when the bolshevist plan of
universal disorder is put in operation.
Only the other day one of the lead
ers of the Soviet junta boasted that
any country that would dare to attack
nd q
with a revolution at home. This
brazen attitude is intended to hearten
adherents and strike terror to enc
mics. But it is not mere bluff, though
it is in keeping with the boast that
the United States will soon recognize
the Moscow government! 1t reminds
one of the instructions given to
Soviet agents all over the world by
Tchitcherin and Zinoviev to this
effect: "In each country and com.
munity break down the influence of
every person and every institution OF
prominence, whether by violence, by
scandal or otherwise. Once this level
ing process is accomplished, there
will be a chance for U.S."
Stir Up Factionalism.
In such troubled waters the Soviets
find the best fishing. 1t Is nothing
to them which faction In local
difficulty shall succeed, so long as
they are able to array one against
another. There are indications that
they have not given up hope OF
fomenting trouble in the United
States, though at the present moment
there is apparently a lull in their sur
face activities. With the ingenuity
of the busy one they are working in
many directions to undermine Ameri-
can ideas, allying themselves with
every domestic force of disintegration
or disloyalty, with lawlessness and
special privilege and the rush for
money and with the sodden indiffer-
ence of those
Whose love of right Is for themselves
And not for all the world.
They are trying hard and patiently
to get a foothold in the public school
system, which, whatever its minor

Peru Railroads Prove
Costly; Capital Is Shy

Engineering difficulties presented by
lofty mountains and steadily increas-
ing costs of railroad construction and
equipment have been responsible for
the tardiness with which Peru's rail
communications have been extended.
Peru has had to pay for her railroads
approximately $50,000 per mile. Be
cause of the difficulty and expense Of
construction, outside capital has been
slow to seek railroad concessions in
Peru, except where valuable mining
properties have been the objective.

You think, then, the cause of
peace is making headway?"
Il do. Its Importance is better un-

year saw a great Improvement in in
ternational relations. Europe set her
feet on the path of revival and pros
perity. International cooperation and
reciprocal confidence were shown in
the unraveling of the tangled skein
of reparations. Public men of pow

of world affairs. Examination of ma

left peoples less far apart in under

consolidation of peace"

Il think it's power and duty enor-

able occasion for journalistic support
of the persons and institutions whose
aim is peace. Newspapers are among
the most vital agencies of humanity.
Food, water and air scarcely affect
human life more widely or essential

tenance for the masses of the world.
Pure newspapers, informed and hon.

much to say, would insure the moral

EARLY ASSOCIATIONS.

aneth, where he had been brought
up
~ HERE is something about early
environments that is con-
duCtive 10 reflection and the
L re-eStabishment of old ways
+' and habits of living. The
man or woman who does not feel the
drawing and compelling power of old
associations loses out of life the sweet
est and most wholesome experiences
OF which we have knowledge. Even
an old song or hymn sung once by one
whom we have loved and lost awhile
brings back flood of memories that
serve to stimulate the better if for
gotten things of our nature. If it
were possible for us to periodically re-
turn to places associated with the
things of our early life. we would not
stray so far from the ways of sane
and wholesome living.
We like that homely passage writ
ten about Christ, He came to Naz-
areth. where He had been brought up
There was little about this ancient
town that was attractive. 1t was a
community of simple folk. but in His
youth Jesus had learned the ways
and habits of His community and in
His own humble home He had felt the
impact of influences to which He fond
~ turned in the tragic years of His
young manhood. That He experienced
the customary discipline and follow
ed the we'll defined practices of Jew
ish home is clearly evident. He felt
the fatigue of long hours of toll and
shared the refreshment that comes
from contact with kindred spirits. The
human element in His life was con-
spicuouslv evident in Nazareth. Here
II was that in a carpenters shop He
approached most nearly and intimate
ly the things of our common life.

in China alarmingly increased during
the past week, Canton being the chief
danger spot. Shanghai has been COM
paratively quiet, no doubt in part be-
cause of the presence in the Chinese

established martial law in the old
Chinese city and the suburbs and has
co-operated with authorities on the

pressure. The strikers have been re-
ceiving contributions from all over

general strike is ended and that stores
are reopening. Shipping, however,
remains completely tied up, and the

The joint note of Great Britain,

1t was in reply to the German note
of January protesting against nom

Of this note was released for publ

Waterville, Jan. o6.-Coburn ath-
letic teams are in for a busy week
this coming week with both hockey
and basketball crews facing hard
battles. This week will usher in the
first Of the regular State series con-
test when the hoopmen meet Kent's
Hill at Auburn on Friday night and
the hockey team stacks up against
the Big Green team of Hebron on
Saturday afternoon in Waterville.
OF the two the hockey team is
facing the toughest battle and every
thing is being done by Coach Haines
to get his squad in first class shape
for the fray. Hebron is unquestion-
ably a strong outfit with two clever
men at least on her roster and no
doubt a few more not quite SO
fashy but probably not lacking in
ability. The Coburn team has i'm
proved fifty per cent in the last few
days and the game should be a nip
and tuck battle with any man liable
to come out victor.
The basketball team will not face
such strong opposition in Kent's
Hill as In past years and the boys
are confident OF win, however the
team will be without Major, who
will be In Boston at the track meet
while Reed is ineligible for the week
due to studies. Grady. a veteran of
last years club has not played as
yet owing to a severe cold but he
will start practice today and will
be in shape for the for the game.
The Coburn team have played some
nhe basketball UP to date and the
school Is backing them to the limit
TO cop the bunting this season. A
victorious start will be a great step
In the right direction and with
everything going right Coburn can
see nothing but a win on Friday

PA small gas filled shaft. 45 feet
deep, within a caisson of the new
American Insurance Union building
here. claimed the lives Of four men
today. A fifth man. who went to the
rescue of his friends in the shaft
came through unscathed and few
hours later a movement was started
fittingly to reward him for his hero

The cause OF the accident IS not
clear. 1t is believed Bowen was in
the shaft fitting pipes when he was
overcome and fell to the bottom.
Fellow workmen noticed that acti-
vity had ceased within the shaft.
Then one of the victims climbed
down to see what had happened.
When neither appeared within a
short time another went down the
tube to investigate. Then McCar-
thy. the last OF the victims, volun-
teered, aud he disappeared through
the shaft, some IS or 20 feet above
street level.
All was quiet within the tube and
worilmen gathered about fearful that
something was wrong. AMI ulances
and physicians were summoned.
Suddenly huge crane swung high
into the air from another part of the
excavation. Dangling from its steel
cable was a man. 1t swung around
and deposited William V. (Big Bill)
Martin, q structural steel worker on
the top of the caisson. Fellow
workmen demonstrated, that three
had gone down and had not come
back.
Big Bill' snapped his fingers, put
his foot into the rope stirrup and
sisnalled the crane engineer. Some
one handed him a gas mask. The
