RuLLETIN.

Especial to The Daily Workerl
PARIS, France, Nov. 18.-"Ena-
lands consular agents In Syria are
not strangers to rebellion" declared
who RACED Damascus in the slaught-
er that has aroused Syria and
Arabia. This remark was made In
his testimony today before the
chamber Of deputies. When asked
to explain his cryptic statement he
refralned from further comment,
but did state that he did not believe
England was responsible for the
Syrian rebellion. It Is generally
considered that he bIurted out the
opinion that Is being ineulcated In
French governmental circles, pre-
paratory to fight against England
in the council Of the league Of ma
tons when the question Of the
French mandate in Syria comes up.
BEIRUT, Syria, Nov. 1S.-syrian
rebels are consolidating their power
in all Syria and the French, though
still holding Damascus, because of the
reluctance Of the rebels to storm that
city, are making a last stand here
today. This city is now the center
of operations and a drive has been
launched against the French here that
may rout them within the next "a
hours. Everything between here and
Damascus is in the hands of the re-
bells, with desultory fighting still going
on in Lebanon.
French troops are being transport
ed to Sydon on board gunboats and
advices reaching here from France
are to the effect that thousands are
embarking for Syria daily.
French from Damascus have been
arriving in Beirut until today, when
the insurrectionary troops of Syrians
and Druses shut off their entrance.
They have been forced to turn back
and are wandering in a bewildered
and disorganized condition over the
territory. The chiefs of the insurrec.
ton have given orders to their troops
not to modest them unless they attack
the rebels or attempt depredations.
Missionaries Want Warships.
The missionaries who were beaten
when they tried to assist the French
in the butchery of the rebels have be-
gun to whine. DR.. George Ford, of
New York, one of the so-caIled medic
al missionaries, has appealed to the
American CONSUL here for the dis
patch of warship to the port of
Hafa. An American destroyer accord
Ing to information, will be sent from
Beirut, to join the French gun boats
that already are menacing Hafia.
Insurrection Growing.
There are between $4,000 and sc, 900
rebels under arms, many of them
equipped with rifles and munitions
captured when the French were driv-
en- from their base of supplies in Le-
oanon the other day and new recruits
are swarming in from Arabia. The
new attacks of the christian mission
try bands has again Infatuated the
lohammedans and their agents are
gain spreading hatred of the imper.
llist nations and their subjects thru
ut the world of Islam. The insurrec-
on is rapidly gaining, just as it has
aimed from the day of the storming
Damascus.
Missionaries have fed from Sidon
Tyre and many of them have gone
INTO Palestine, where they hope 10
ind safety behind the British lines.

The Driving Force of
the Nucleus

shop-a hundred and more ways of
getting all the workers in the shop
under Immediate daily influence of
Communist theology"
The work mentioned here is but
the skeleton of it's total. A big job it
is +. and 1t needs a big man. To
use American language" it needs a
full blown" Communist For it is on
the basis of this work that the differ
ence between a live and lifeless
nucleus will often be found. On this
very work will depend the growth of
the nucleus an dthe development of
it's own membership.
What the C. I. Says.
1t is not for nothing that in its DE
cision on the American Question"
made in May, the Communist Interna-
tional made special reference to the
development of this work as a basis
on which to build our party. The
c. l. always speaks with a purpose. SO
it may be well to refresh our minds
to these exact words:
Gas long as the Workers Party
does not at least double it's member
ship, it cannot be said that it fulfills
the requirements of an American
Communist Party. Under no circum-
stances should it underestimate in
any way the Importance of such
minor tasks" as the circulation of
lishment of new organs, the develop
ment of the Workers Monthly, the
publication and distribution of good
propaganda literature, the organiza-
ton of party schools, recruiting
weeks, ETC." 'oe
Never was the time more oppor-
tune to draw the attention Of Amer
lean Communists to these words of
guidance of the Communist Interna-
tional And with the reorganization
of our party on the basis of shop nue.
lei, let us keep clearly in mind: that
the difference between a live nucleus
and a ghost-may be the difference
in the driving force" of the nucleus.
Your choice of the propaganda d.
rector for the nucleus must be of a
comrade who is only fitted for the
position thru capability-but one who
appreciates also, the Importance of
this basis work of the nucleus.

Francis Boutell Wins In
Hard Primary Election Fight
Former Sank Centre Young Man
Nominated for Alderman In Chi
cago Tuesday

Sank Centre friends of Francis
Boutell have been taking more than a
passing interest in his candidacy for
the nomination of alderman to repre-
sent the 48th Ward of Chicago.
The former Sank Centre young
man is son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Boutell of this city and is one of
the rising young lawyers of the
Windy City.
The primary election was held Tues
day of this week after vigorous
campaign of several weeks, and after
the returns were counted Mr.. Bou-
tell lead his nearest competitor by
nearly 1000. He has been active in
the affairs of the North Side for sew
eral years and is president OF the
Mems Republican Club of that por-
ton of the city. In his campaign ne
had the support of the young men OF
the ward and was opposed by seven
other candidates, one of whom was a
State Senator.
The election will be held in the
early part of April and Francis Sank
Centre friends are pulling for victory
for him at that time, with every as
suranct that if he is elected he, will
serve his constituency with integrity
and credit.

"Spinless" Cal Gives Senate
Obstructors a Severe Jol!
President Coolidge Tells American
House of Lords His Cabinet APP
pointees are Satisfactory to Him

Washington, Feb. 13.-President
Coolidge has sent word to his senate
leaders that he will not withdraw the
three important nominations he re-
Gently sent up to the capitol, which
are now involved in difficulties that
threaten their confirmation
These are the appointments of c..
B. Warren to be attorney general /;
Thos. F. Woodlock, to be member of
the interstate commerce commission,
and William E. Humphrey, to be a
member of the federal trade COM
mission.
The president takes the position
that the nominations are satisfactory
to him and that he made them after
careful study and that if the senate
does not like them it can do what il
pleases- he will not withdraw
them.
This will probably result in throw
ing all the nominations over until af.
ter the present senate expires or
March A. The new senate woulG
/ thereupon be asked to confirm then
and inasmuch as the republicans
have safe majority, their confrma
ton would seem assured.

No Startling Changes in
Little Sank State Bank

There have been no startling de-
velopments the past ten days in con-
nection with the closing of the Little
Sank State Bank by the State Bank

The rumor still persists that Cash
Ter L. H. Nelson will be able to raise
sufficient funds to again place the
bank on it's feet. The Herald under.
stands that Mr.. Nelson is living at
the Andrews Hotel, Minneapolis, and
that he is bending every energy with
influential friends in the Twin Cities
to raise sufficient funds to make set
Element. County Attorney William
Wood of Todd county stated to the
Herald late Wednesday afternoon
that no proposition had been made
to him by Mr.. Nelson or his attorneys,
for settlement.
The citizens residing in Littlt Sank
and adjacent territory who are af-
fected by the closing of the bank have
gotten over the excitement and they
are taking their losses philosophically.
The officers representing the Fed
eral intermediate credit bank of st.
Paul are making slow Roadway in
cleaning up the validity of all the
paper they hold against the farmers
of that section. 1t will be recalled
that last weeks Herald charged that
the representative of the Intermedi-
ate Credit Bank told different farm
ers with whom they came in contact
that unless they were careful they
"Would Be Wearing Stripes" The
Herald understands that the Federal
officers insist that they have only
made this claim to farmers who have
admitted that they did not have the
property which the statement held by
the Federal intermediate Bank claims
they own.
The Herald of last week also pub
lished a story which alleged that

ALFALFA DAY DATE
HAS NOT BEEN SET
QUESTION WILL LIKELY BE SET
TIED BY COMMUNITY CLUB
THIS EVENING
DEAN COFFEY MAY COME
GENTLEMAN is MEMBER OF
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S AG-
RICULTURAL COMMISSION

The Alfalfa Day celebration to be
put on under the auspices Of the Sank
Centre Community Club in this city
the latter part of March, is slowly as
Stunning shape. The definite date for
the celebration will more than likely
be settled at this Thursday evenings
meeting of the Club.
In other cities which have held AL
falfa Days they have attracted
large number of farmers and much
good has resulted in the increased in
terest taken by dairymen and other
stockraisers in the growing of this
splendid COW food. At these meet
ings experts in the successful growing
of alfalfa have been secured to adj
dress the farmers and businessmen on
the advantage of raising alfalfa.
At a meeting of the directors of
the Community Club held few weeks
ago it was decided to have the Club
get back of this movement and ar
range a program which should appeal
to every farmer for many miles in
every direction. At the Sank Centre
gathering next month the directors
suggested that it would be proper to
serve the farmers attending the meet
ing with a substantial lunch at the
Community Club rooms at noon.
There will likely be a morning and
afternoon session and those attending
will be urged to get into the alfalfa
game and will be shown where it
will be profitable for them to purchase
the best possible seed-Grim alfalfa
which has been properly tested and
scarified.
A number of Sank Centre seed
men will have sufficient amount of
this high type seed to meet all de-
mandS.
1t is hoped that it will be possible
to secure Dean w. G. Coffey Of the
Agricultural Department of the Uni
versity of Minnesota to be the prin-
cipal speaker on this Alfalfa Day
program. 1t will be recalled that Mr..
Coffey was one of the men selected
by President Coolidge to make up his
agricultural commission which made
a countrywide investigation of the
condition of the American farmers
from all angles. If. Mr.. Coffey can
be secured for this address he will
have a message of great interest to
people of this section regardless
whether they are farmers, business.
or professional men.
The Herald next week hopes to
be able to outline fairly definite pro,
gram and give the exact date of the
gathering.

Corking High School Basket
Bal Game Friday Evening
Sank Centre and Osakis Will Clash
Here In Seasons Final-District
Tournament Next Week

The game tomorrow night be-
tween Osakis and Sank Centre
should be the best high school game
played here this season. 1t is the
last game on the schedule and it
should prove to be real attraction.
Osakis has won nine games and
lost only one, (that one to Alexan-
dria). The team is made up of scrap
Ply basket ball players, and they are
very confident they will win. So
far this season they have been very
lucky in striking different teams just
when these teams were due for an
"off night. Most of their games have
been won by close margins, and TAX
ing everything into consideration they
are on an average team, and can be
defeated by Sank Centre if the local
boys will play up to form.
Coach Kaslow has been trying ev.
cry thing possible in order to find a
winning combination. He has taken
Wilcox out of center and placed him
at guard, and is playing Nelson at
! center. Either Nelson or Wilcox can
easily outjump the Osakis center
and that advantage ought to help
Sank Centre materially.
All Of the Sank Centre fans are
hoping Captain Brown will play up
to form and that he has his usual
amount of luck with him. There isn't
a man on the Osakis team that can
stop Brown if he wants to move, and
we are all hoping he will be in posi-
ton to lead his team to victory.
The rivalry is at a keen pitch ano
every high school student is arrang
ing his or her work so they can wit
ness the contest. In all probability
Osakis will bring large group o.
boosters and the auditorium should
be lively place on Friday evening
The Osakis Freshmen team will
play the Sank Centre Freshman team
this game will begin at 1880.
Karl Adams of the Teachers Col
lege at St. Cloud is to referee the
game to morrow evening. He is tht
