to Timberline Cabin at Z 80 p. m.
Then at intervals struggled in men
whom the drifts and gale and flying
snow and bitter cold of the winter
night could not keep back. Each had
started as the news reached him that
Agnes Vaille was in danger on Longs
Peak. By 10 o'clock had arrived Tom
Allen, assistant superintendent Of the
park, and Jack MoOmaW and Walter
Finn, park rangers. At 4 80 Tuesday
morning Superintendent Roger w.
Toll cousin of Agnes Vaille) arrived
from Denver, with Edmund Rogers,
Gorge G. Barnard, William f. Er-
vim and Carl Blaurock, veteran noun
taineers Of the Colorado Mountain
club. Daylight found them all try
ing to keep from freezing about a
fire kept burning on top of the cabin
stove. To recover Agnes VaiIle's body
was impossible. AT 9 80 all descend
ed to the valley.
Then it was discovered that Herbert
Sortland was missing. Volunteers
Casey Rockwell, John Sherman, Ed
Andrews, Jack Dillon, Warren Rut-
ledge and others-risked their lives in
the vain search that was made below
timberline.
Not until Thursday could Agnes
Vaille's body be reached. 1t lay at
an elevation of about 1890 feet on
the north slope, 200 feet back of the
edge of the East Face, and about
so feet above the perpetual snowdrift
on the edge of Boulderfield-whic is
in plain sight from the valley, sug
gests a flying bird, and is sometimes
called "The Dove" Two skis were
placed end to end and a third lashed
across the joint. The body was
strapped to these skis and carried
with the aid Of ski poles Eight men
carried the body across Boulderield,
relays taking part at frequent inter-
vals Further down a toboggan could
be used.
At Timberline Cabin fiuttered the
American Flag, worn and frayed from
the winter storms. Agnes Vaille had
done patriotic service overseas dur
ing the World War. They took down
Old Glory and laid it across her
body. And so came back Agnes Vaille
from Longs Peak to Tahosa Valley.
Walter kiener, badly frost-bitten
and partly snow-blind, was driven to
Denver for medical treatment: sew
eral operations were found necessary
Agnes Vaille's father paid the hos
pital bills. The national park service
gave him the lookout station.
The body of Walter SortIand was
not found until February 25-in the
Valley, within stones throw Of the
main road and of shelter. Kiener's
official gaze must pass over the spot
several times a day. And he cannot
look at Longs Peak without seeing

If passed the measure would free

MENSHEvIKS OF
GEORGIA BRANDED
AS PLUTE TOOLS
Purcell Tears the Hide
OFF Yellow Socialist

In a recent issue of the London
Daily Herald, Noe Jordania, former
menshevik prime minister Of Georgia,
scolded A. A. Purcell, chairman of the
British trade union delegation to Rus
STA for the favorable report made by
them on present conditions in Georgia.
Purcell comes back with a scorching
reply which is written up as follows
in the Herald:
Mr.. Jordania's abusive remarks
about the delegation are to be ex-
pected, writes Mr.. Purcell, because
their report has killed for ever, as
far as the British trade union move
ment is concerned, the lying and fan
tastic reports about Soviet rule in
Georgia, which he and his friends
have been issuing ever since the
Georgian people gave them "the or
der of the boot"
Jordania's government had de
cided to establish a stable currency"
and it had concluded" an agreement
with British firm to advance it "the
necessary means"
Wonderful Soviet Russia has es-
tablished stable currency without
aid from any foreign firm.
Currency Question.
Georgian currency was 100 times
better than the Russian" at the time
Of Jordania's somewhat hurried de-
parture from Georgia.
Marvelousl The Soviet government
had been attacked and Soviet Russia
blockaded for over three years; and
Jordania's government had been re-
ceiving almost continual assistance
nrst from Germany and afterwards
from the allies.
Jodania's budget was approximately
e4,OOO,OOO."
Amazing! How did Jordania's
friends get that four million? Very
simply; by selling to the peasants the
land. The wicked Bolsheviks have an
incurable weakness for restoring the
land to the peasants free of charge.
Socialized Industry.
The industries of Russia, including
Georgia, are now under central man
agement. Monstrous!
The socialist parties Of the world
advocate precisely the same principle.
Does johanna suggest that each pro-
vince should have its own posts and
telegraph institutions?
The population Of Georgia has been
"enslaved" by Moscow.
Is that because the land and the in
dustries of the country have been re-
stored to the people without any COM
pensation to the former owners; or is
it because every effort is being encour-
aged to develop the Georgian Ian
guage and culture?

"Warn" the White House.
It was just few days ago that a
protest meeting was held by "patri-
otto" women's organizations in the
capital, to warn the white house and
state department and citizens at large
that Lady Aberdeen and her fellow
delegates from bourgeois women's or
CARNATIONS in AZ countries were dan
gerous. They we're agitating for in
ternationalism, which was much the
same as Bolshevism. They were advo-
eating the league OF nations and the
world court, which would mix us up
in European affairs and teach our pub
Nc men to tolerate discussion with
radicals who hold ONCE in those for
eign countries.
But on the opening day Of the quin-
quennial sessions Of the International
Council of Women, when the dele
gates claiming to represent 39,O0O,O 900
women had gathered, the Washington
Star, in first column, first page, an
nounced RED Plot To Wreck Won
ems Council Meeting Charged" and
followed up the headline with an ac-
count Of the fact that one Milton
Fairchild, president Of the Character
Education Institute, had visited the
convention headquarters with charges
that the Communist International was
trying to break 1t up. It appeared
that he felt sure that "the world Com
munist organizations had agents in the
capital who were using various patri-
otto organizations as their tools to
discredit the purposes Of the conven-
ton

Inasmuch as the patriotic organiEa-
tons referred to as tools Of the Com

with which the late Samuel Gompers
associated himself, along with army
officers Of the rank OF Gen. Fries OF
the chemical warfare service, in view
ing with alarm Jane Adams and the
Women's International League for
Peace and Freedom, this was a severe
blow to the women patriots.
Lady Aberdeen explained that the
governments Of 3s Of the countries
sfiliated in the council are members
Of the league of nations, and that that
issue would not be raised as to Amer
lea. There was nothing radical about
the organization. This statement was
borne out by the program and the
character of the speakers.
When not discovering red plots,
Fairchild is identified in the local pub
lie mind with so-called character edu-
cation, and with a sleeping-box in
which he induces slumber by the aid
