tain, Germany and Russia.
United States Represented
The Cooperative League of the
United States was represented by
DR.. Warbasse, president; Cedric Long.
executive secretary, and Matti Ten
hunen and Eskel Rom, directors. DR..
Warbasse was rejected by the Con-
gress to the Central Committee of
the International Cooperative Al
lance.
The report of the Executive Com
mittee brought out many controver-
sial topics and vigorous differences
developed between the Russian dele
gates and the rest Of the Congress.
The most spirited disagreement cen
tired about the resolution on world
peace presented by the British dele
cation. The Russians offered an
amendment calling for support to all
mass action or strikes against war
and for recognition of the identity of
aim of the labor and cooperative
movements, but their amendment was
defeated. The British woman also
made a special appeal that the Con-
gress vote to offer complete resist
ance to the declaration and prosecu-
tion of wars" by all national govern
ments; but this clause was deleted.
The Russian delegation introduced
a resolution calling upon the Alliance
to adopt a proletarian policy and to
insist upon the close collaboration of
all political, industrial and economic
organizations of the working class.
By an amendment the matter was re-
ferred to the executive for further
study and such action as seemed ne
cessary. This amendment was sup
ported by the large majority which
recognized the cooperative as con-
sumers movement, necessarily in
volved in the class struggle Indirect
" but committed to a program of
economic evolution which does not
use the weapons of strike, boycott, OF
military force for its realization.
AS successor to President Coed
hart. of Holland, the Congress elected
Vaino Tanner who is both president
of the Finnish Progressive" Cooper
ative Union and Prime Minister of
Finland supported by a minority So
cial Democrat Party.

Who viii Be Queen?
Never before has a more charming
smart appearing group of girls as
sembled at the fair, and already they
are making plans for the election of
the fairest among their number to
be queen. There are peppy high
school girls and university co-eds,
quiet types of girls whose charm
makes them delightful, girls who hold
responsible positions in their home
towns, and girls who are gracious to
meet and whose poise gives them an
added distinction. From the first it
was conceded that the choice OF
Queen would be a difficult one, but
even with busy weeks program
ahead of them, the thought of a wise
selection is uppermost in each girls
mind.
Every train coming into Helena
yesterday brought its quota of roya,
passengers from every part of the
state. They were met at the station

Padbury, Mrs. Ray Grant and Mrs

Gehrig Leads Ruth;
Yankee Team
Seeks Record

Babe Ruth, the greatest home
run hitter of all time, is trailing
Lou Gehrig, his youthful team
mate, in the home run mara
thon today. Gehrig hit his
twenty-sixth circuit clout yes
terday and is one homer ahead
of the Bambino.
Gehrig has dented the bleach
ers IL times since the middle of
June. He and Ruth together
already have walloped more
homers than a whole team ordi-
narily gets all season.
Both sluggers are behind
Ruth's 1921 record, when he hit
So for the season. The entire
Yankee club has made rs homers
to date this season and hopes to
break its own league record of
134 homers for a season, and
possibly the National League
mark of 140, made by Chicago
in 1884.
