Reds Deny Authenticity
OF Secret Documents

Paris, Jan. 8 "a. P.) - Supposedly
secret documents that fell into the
hands of the French press and pro-
yoked insistent demands that the
government take repressive measures
against Bolshevik agitators In
France have been declared to be
forgeries by the official Bolshevik or
gan, Humanite, but such papers as
the Temps and Liberte, which have
published some of the documents in
detail, insist that they are genuine.
They appear in many respects to
accord perfectly with the recently
| increased activities of Bolshevik Or
| CARNATIONS.
The principal document, which sets
forth the general plan of propaganda
sus blank that all members OF the
party are called upon to fill out, sign
and turn in to their respective
groups; this slip gives the central
organization means of Immediately
reaching every member of the party
! and Of watching and controlling his
acts. Then follows an outline Of the
composition Of the "cellules d'entre-
prise" or "cells of industries" These
"cells" are organizations set up in
every workshop where Communists
are employed. They are intended to
serve as agents for conversion Of
their fellow workmen to the Bolshe-
vik cause, and to make 1t possible to
obtain immediate action in every In
dustry and trade or profession when
the word is given by the central or
ganization.
The duties of the "cells" are to
report the movements Of all Com
munists: to obtain complete infor-
ma ton as to the resources, habits,
weaknesses. politics and religion of
their employers; to locate all stocks
of arms and ammunition and gener-
ally to supply the central organiza-
ton with such information as will
give it every possible hold on the
bourgeois class.
| There is provision for the reorgan-
iZation of the party by Jan. 1, 1926.
and the establishment of new Com
munist groups in Paris as we'll as in
the provinces. 1t is set forth also
that the party must intensity and
develop its action among the labor
unions, and endeavor to give a more
important place to women in the rev.
olutionary movement. Work among
the peasants is not to be neglected,
and the calling of a peasant Com
munist congress is set for January.
Peasant soviets are to be organized.
The activities of Communists in
the colonies are prescribed in para
graph which says "the party will I'M
dertake vigorous propaganda
among the peoples oppressed by
French imperialism and will organ
lie them with a view to their liberia :
ton; 1t will call toward the middle
Of 1925 a congress Of colonial peo-
pies to that effect
The details Of organization provide
for agitation among foreign workers
In France, and in the army, and in
tensified revolutionary agitation in
the parliamentary group Of the party
under the supervision of a member
OF the party who is not a deputy and
who will act as secretary for the
Communist group in the Chamber of
Deputies.
Continuing the document says that
the present political situation in
France is extremely favorable to
Communist propaganda, and charg
IS every member Of the party with
'tha obligation Of bringing in one new
member.

Healing" Powers Of Flowers

Some quaint superstition still lin

flowers in rural parts of England.
Groundsel is said to be a certain
cure for toothache. but the root must
be dug up with an implement having
no iron in 1t. and the aching tooth
Is then touched five times with the
root.
The juice of the red flower of va
lerlan is a cure for splinters in the
flesh. while fennel flowers will heal
broken bones, or, if they need to be
glued together. the roots of Solom-
on's seal. ground up and drunk in

Mr.. Field spoke OF q business trip to
Augusta under the new schedule. He
leaves Phillips at A. NJ, arriving at
Augusta at p. NJ. via the electric
road from Winthrop. At that time bust
ness oficeS are closed in Augusta and
he must transact his business in Au-
gusta the following day. His matters
transacted. he leaves Augusta at
O'Clock the following morning. Thus 1t
takes three days to come to Augusta
and transact business at the time the
business places are open.
He declared that he believed the new
schedule q short-sighted policy that
will injure the railroad.
Senator j. Blaine Morrison Of Phil
lips testified to the time 1t takes under
the new schedule to go to Pennington,
transact business and return to Phil
lips.
II am a friend Of the road" declared
Senator Morrison, "and I want to see
It prospers and live II 1t can, but l
believe that in not connecting with the
night train at Pennington it is hurt
ing ITSELF"
The railroads case was presented by
Josiah s. Maxcy Of Gardiner, one of
the receivers Of the road. who declared
that 1t Is the intention Of the receivers
to operate the road so as to accommo-
date the greatest number Of people and
make the road pay operating expenses.
He said that in making the change to
the new schedule the financial aspect
was a great factor.
Testimony was given by Arthur H.
Robinson, traffic manager and auditor
Of the railroad, stating that the new
schedule was proposed because Of econ
omy and the further reason that 1t was
believed 1t would better accommodate
all the places along the line.
Mr.. Robinson testified as to the effect
Of storms on the road. He said that
in the severe winter OF 1929 the
Maine Central afternoon train was late
to Pennington 50 days out of 116. The
Maine Central train in that period was
late SO hours as a total, while the
Sandy River road train to Phillips wa,
late a total Of 90 hours. The Sandy
River Railroad was obliged to pay
$456 overtime represented by the Maine
Central road delays. He testified as to
the snow service required and Of, the
manner in which 1t is believed the new
schedule would better serve the entire
territory. He declared that under the
old schedule in December. 1928, there
were, 1852 tickets sold on the road. and
In December. 1924, 1899 tickets have
been sold.
Attorney Frank W. Butler Of Farm.
