,H0VERS OVER
SAN ANTONIO
Identity Of Night Altman
Shoruded in Impene-
5, rable Mystery.

Mystery as black as the murky dark
ness through which it sails, obscures
the identity of strange airplane that
roar its way across the painless sky
above San Antonio during the silent
hours between midnight and dawn.
Not once or twice but many times
within the PAST few months has the
giant night-hawk been heard by peo-
pie OF San Antonio as it flew low
over the tops of houses.
Officers residing at Fort Sam Hous-
ton have awakened ut night TO hear the
airplane passing over the army post.
HEARD OVER KELLY.
Residents of the Hot Wells district
have heard the startling roar of its
motor as they lay awake in bed o.,
slept lightly long after the hour of
midnight.
A resident near Kelly Field, awaken.
end mt 3 80 o'clock in the morning,
heard the night flyer passing in that
vicinity.
Many people who have heard the
night flyer have dismissed it from
their minds with the thought that it
was only ship from one of the local
flying fields engaged in training stu
dents in night flying.
INQUIRE AT FIELDS.
But inquiry at local flying fields
reveals that night training is done
only during the early hours of even
ing, and that the mysterious night pilot
can often be traced across the sky
by the noise of his motor when there
is no night flying being done by army
planes.
An air service pilot who heard the
plane fly overhead in the early hours
of morning, declares that it sounded
like a service DH-4B.
There is record of only one private

it is said. and that plane is located
on the western coast.
MAY BE BOOTLEGGER.
There are, however. a number OF
Liberty motors owned by private in
dividuals, and il has been suggested
that San Antonio's night flyer has
built a plane in which he has placed
a Liberty motor.
Nobody knows the mission that
would compel flyer TO make so great
a number of flights at night, but peo-
pie who have heard him quickly sug-
gest a motive for his trips.
"Bootlegging or smuggling" is the
first thought that enters their minds.
San Antonio is so located that a
flight across the border into Mexico
could easily be made without landing
ON this side Of the river.
A load Of contraband could easily
be taken aboard and brought back
into this state without danger Of in
reference from custom guards.
Or rum runners could be met at
many points along the coast where
nature has placed natural landing
fields.

BLACK Jack" Pershings methods and
''impartiality" in the Tacna-Arica dis

subject of indignant criticism by
the Chilean newspapers who reveal
his moves as an attempt to throw the
plebiscite to the Peruvians.
Augustin Edwards, who owns a
chain Of newspapers in Chile, is ex-
posing the "impartiality" of Pershing
and the marines that are there ostens-
IDLY for police duty; but mainly to
see to 1t that the plebiscite will go
the way that the American nitrate
interests demand.
Resentment is reaching such a high
pitch in Chile that it is expected that
Chile may refuse to proceed with the

Max Goldstein Urges
Workers on to Victory
in His Last Message


BUCHAREST. (By Mail.)-In the
first days of his hunger strike, which
he began with the intention to draw
the attention of the working class to
the Roumanian conditions, Max Gold
stein wrote a long letter to one Of
his fellow-fighters. This letter, won
derful example of revolutionary con-
seriousness, ends with the following
sentences:
Il know that l will be blamed. Ny
enemies will condemn me because it
appears as if l did not want to carry
my heavy cross, all the terrors Of my
fortunes to the end l know that
revolutionary has no right to suicide.
You, however, must know that after
everything that / have suffered / am
useless for the struggle, helpless, and
unable to do anything useful for the
working class. There remains nothing
else to do for me but to resolve TO
leave life with a long and yelling
scream of protest. What shall say
to you this last moment, to you who
mas sun MS whole lighting power, who
will certainly experience the happiness
OF victory?
ION the day after the victory, when
the red flags of the triumphant work
ers will rise high above our poor tor
tured country, when you march along
our graves with your flag, then re-
member that our whole life has been
devoted to its last breath to the strug-
gle for the liberation of the workers.
1t is not our fault that we could not
bear the yoke Of terrible sufferings to
the last, the yoke Of sufferings which
made us perish, and that we were not
able to reach the aim with our VIC
torious flags. The working class. the
only and eternal conqueror Of human
history will be able to unfold and
proudly wave this flag on the ruins
Of the collapsing bourgeois society"

Rosa Raisa's Madame
Butterfly" Gives View
of u. S. Navy in Orient

The overfed and underdressed
bourgeois audience that came to the
Chicago Civic Opera on Sunday after
noon to enjoy the light opera of MA
dame Butterfly light opera, were
given jolt
Rosa Raisa's Interpretation OF Cho-
Cho-San, the delicate sweetness of her
voice, the charm of personality in de-
plotting the suffering of the little maid
of the land Of chrysanthemums and
cherry blossoms, poignantly and very
realistically, brings home a sidelight
on American imperialist invasion of
foreign nations, this time in the
Orient.
In this story taken from the book
of John L. Long. the little Japanese
maiden Cho-Cho-San, known to her
friends as Butterfly" is wooed and
won by the American Lieutenant b.
F.. Pinkerton of the U. S. navy. He
affects a marriage with her, which he
knows is not binding. Then he de-
parts for America with a promise to
return when the red robins nest
again"
In three years he Is again sent to
this Japanese port. This time he
brings his American wife with him.
When he arrives he finds wife and
baby waiting for him.
The inevitable tragic outcome. The
little Japanese wife kills herself.
Irene Pavloska's Interpretation Of
Suzuki, the servant and friend OF Ma
dame Butterfly and Charles Hackett's
portrayal Of the depraved soldier of
the American dollar were also admir-
ably done.

"The Soviet Union represents a
tremendous step forwards and in the
future it will remain the signpost for

Your young socialist land has many
enemies, above all the foreign cap
italists and the political parties under
their influence. And to these belong
the rest of the social-democrats, the
social revolutionaries, etc., ten of
whom are serving sentences in the

I'VE must say that In comparison
with the prison regime in Czecho-
Slovakia, that in Tifis prison is more
like sanatorium than a prison.
Denounce Georgian Menshevlks.
I'VE socialists declare that we have
nothing in common with these people,
they are as far removed from us as
the capitalists. They do not belong
to the right wing of the working class.
but to the left wing of the bourgeoisie.
This has been recognized. by their
one-time comrades who have returned
to the ways of Marxism and to the
ranks of the working class, and who
have torn themselves loose from the
enemies of the Soviet Union abroad.
For us, socialist workers, the eight
hours of discussion which we had
with the arrested leaders Of the in
surrection were decisive, when their
spokesman, the Prince Andronikasch-
viii, the leader of the national demo
cratic landowners party and the fac
tory owner, Kavaschischvili, said that
they wished to continue the, discussion
with us in the name of the mensheviki
upon the conditions in Georgia under
the menshevist regime. These people
are dead for the international working
class movement. They were far more
dangerous for the Georgian proletariat
than the capitalists and the Georgian
proletariat was right in finging them
aside, out of the way of socialism.
"A free Trans-Caucasia is advancing
with firm steps. The intrigues of the
international bourgeoisie are shatter-
ed against the firm alliance of the
workers and peasants. We estimate
your powerful trade unions particular
ly highly. They are a decisive factor
in the economic life of your country
and they represent the best school of
socialism.
I'VE see that you regard yourselves
as members of the great international
proletarian family and that therefore
you are anxious for the unification of
all trade unions into one powerful in
ternational proletarian family and that
therefore you are anxious for the uni
fication of all trade unions into one
powerful international world league
to serve as a weapon of victory in
the struggle against international cap
italism.
Long live the Soviet Union, the

over power. This new government has
been maintaining itself only by grace

very cleverly balancing. There lies
the weakness of the present govern
