a humorous incident or NEAR
tragedy" according to the point
of view, in which one of his con-
tributors figured while passing

Gently.
The contributor, in a letter to
the paper, describes his experience
as follows:
IT am writing you in a state OF
weakness and chagrin. A few
minutes ago, the train stopped at
La Porte, Ind. I walked to the
vestibule and was astounded, up
on looking off into the darkness,
to spy atop a high building in
the distance an electric sign which
read, plainly and Enthusiastically:
HOT
RUM
"The conductor had sounded his
signal, but I essayed to throw
myself from the already moving
train into his oasis. The porter
restrained me-just as an altered
: perspective transformed the sign
into

sistance in the causes of prohi-

MOOSE ON GOLF LINKS

e
 A fat and sleek COW moose was seen late last night looking over Stewards golf course, according to D. c. Brownell, proprietor of the Liberty Theatre, and his mother, both of whom were out enjoying an auto ride following the closing of the show.
 At first MT Brownell thought the radio boys had captured the moose and had domesticated the animal for he approached to within a few hundred feet without seemingly alarming it. Providing the animal is not shot and would be content to forage off the link course the animal would be quite an asset to Seward, it was stated, especially during the tourist season.

California Labor Head
Against War On Mexico
BY L. p. RINDAL
(WOrker Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Calf. - Paul
Scharrenberg, secretary of the Cali
fornia State Federation Of Labor and
spokesman for that organization, has
recently returned from one Of his
many trips to Mexico On his return
he said:
"A war on Mexico. threatened by
our diplomats, means annexation Of
a sister republic and the beginning Of
q dangerous policy Of military inn
perialism for the United States. War
on Mexico over any political or fl
nancial question is abhorrent to the
American masses. 1t is unthinkable
that wel can be plunged into war al
the dictates of Wall Street interests
seeking profits, profits and more
profits. We want no war with Mex
leo, and we want no imperialistic adj
ventures into any Latin-American re-
publics."
Protest meetings are being held
and resolutions passed. But OILY one
daily, the Los Angeles Record, comes
out openly against the dollar diplo-
macy" Of Coolidge and Kellogg.

day as two mighty Chinese armies

kow, according to reports to the state
department.
The United States is understood to
be quite willing to encourage the na-
tionalistic aims of China.
Reports from Admiral c. S. Will
liams, COMMANDMENT Chief of the
American fleet in Chinese waters,
said that the northern and southern
Chinese armies are sweeping down
the valley. They are now outside

.VOROSHILOFF IN
SPEECH WARNS OF
WESTERN ARMIES
Border States Building
Fascist Groups

MOSCOW, Jan. 27-Peoples Com
missar for War Voroshiloff in a
speech here has sounded a note of
warning over the increased warlike
preparations of the border states on
the west, and the possible results of
the Franco-Roumanian treaty in stiff
fleming the war parties in Roumania
and her neighbors. He calls on the
workers and peasants of the Soviet
Union to be "psychologically pre-
pared" as well as materially prepared.
Uncover Military Clubs.
Moscow evening papers contain
revelations Of the development OF
semi-official defense corps" of
armed and drilled men in certain
countries along the Russian border
There are 100000 members of reac-
tionary semi military organizations in
Finland, the most important units be-
longing to the "Shutzkorps, which
receives an annual subsidy Of 1,500,-
600 rubles from the Finnish govern
ment.
Esthonia and Latvia both have pri-
vate volunteer armies in addition
to their regular troops, those OF
Esthonia numbering about $4,000.
Pilsudski's LegiOns.
Poland carries this policy to great
lengths, the Streltzi, Marshall Pill
sudski's personally controlled mill
tary organization numbering a quar-
ter Of a million men, and being con-
stantly added to. 1t has more than
doubled in size since Pilsudski seized
power, and receives large sums of
money from the state treasury.
Another development which the
Russian workers are closely watch
ing is the growth Of fascist bodies,
and the establishment Of fascist gov
ernments in these states. These are
the direct result of the increasing
misery and discomfort Of the people
on the one hand, and the growing "a
paciousness of the upper and middle
classes on the other, combined with
the determination Of financiers still
farther west that there mist not be
revolutions in the states established
on the Russian border.
Fascism Thrives.
Poland and Lithunia are now under
military control similar to Mussolini's
in Italy, a fascist coup in Latvia was
only put down in the nick Of time
and there is continual organization
Of fascist groups in Roumania, with
the notorious Crown Prince Carol
mentioned as at least their nominal
leader.
