 There was no getting Cubhr down Out Of his fagorite tree. H. just wouldn't come down wAjla any one was around. H. didn't want 10 he caught and he didn't intend 10 bp caught. Farmer Browns Roy ptac- ol food down near the bottom or inc tree and spent lot Of time watching, hoping 10 catch the little Bear when h. came down 10 eat. But Cubby vas too smart for him.

 'Hunger will bring you down. you rascal, sooner or later" said he. "Youl probably come mp 10 the house then and tease for food. ] can't spend any more time trying 10 catch you. l have 100 murh to do"
 So Cubby was left alone. He knew when Farmer Brown and Farme Browns Boy vent down to the cornheld. From up tu the troa he watched them go down the long lane. Then Chubby scrambled down. He hunted yainly for rhe plate Of food Farmer Browns Boy had taken away. Mother Brown eaw him and came to the kitchen door. Cubby scampered of 10 a safe distance and then began 10 tease Tor something 10 eat. Now. despite nI inc work Cubby had made Mother Bro"n. she couldn't resist the teasing Of that little Bear.

 There wasn't no one,' she re pcated, with trace of sullenness.

WHITE MEN RENDER
OLD INDIAN DANCES
Prescott, Ariz., Holds Weird Spec
tacle to Commemorate First

gleam OF many campfres here to
illuminate the seventh re-enactment
Of the Smoki Dance, the white mans

dary worship dances Of the South.
western American Indians.
A half hundred white dancers,
garbed in the costumes of the desert
Indian, will take part in the weird
spectacle, which first was staged by
group of Prescott businessmen
seven years ago when they organized
an unusual fraternity, dedicated to
the perpetuation Of the customs of the
vanishing American" of the desert
The oeremonials, which start at
sundown and last until the early
morning hours, are divided into four
parts, the Prologue" brief intro
ductory affair; the Serene Moon,"
dedicated to the moon god; the Fire
Dance" which the Indians believe
leaves them purified and strengthened,
and the ceremonial "Snake Dance" in
which, according to old Hopi legends,
prayers offered to the rain god while
worshipping the Little Brother" as
they call the rattlesnake, are sure

The snake dance probably is the
most spectacular on the program, a
faithful reproduction of the Hopi
rituals being given. Live snakes, in.

without the removal of the fangs or

CONDEMNED IN BERLIN.
German Newspapers Call Soviet Exc
cutiOns Barbarous.

BERLIN, June II @.--The Berlin
newspapers yesterday unanimously
condemned the execution of 20 persons
as "counter-revolutionis in Soviet
Russia as barbarous and brutal In the
extreme.
The Boersenzeitung says that the
"treacherous, insidious intrigues In
the houses of others and the sangui-
nary reign of terror in its own must
finally lead to the creation of world
wide front of normal men against the
raging madness Of bolshevism."
The Kreuz Zeitung says that "this
incredible massacre can only help to
strengthen the anti.soviet 'front.'" The
Vossische Zeitung comments that the
Soviet government by this course with
one stroke has destroyed the moral
prestige it gained from the Anglo
Russian conflict and owing t. the at.
tack on the Soviet embassy at Peking,
the searching of Soviet Hous in Lon.
don and the recent outrages against
its officials.
The Lokal Anzeiger declares that a
state which simply shoots down
dozens of citizens without trial Of any
kind obviously has ceased to have
any claim to be regarded as civilized,
while the Deutsche Tages Zeitung
says that If 1.-The Moscow rulers con-
tinue this bloody road, they will be
playing into the hands Of England
and all those who desire q common
front against them"

that England had so stirred up feel.
ing against Russia that class war
doomed.
Terming the international situation

England Called Enemy.
The governments published state
mentS contained by no means all the
data available concerning Engla No. s
hand in organizing internal plots 3n
Russia, he said, but those published
were enough to indicate 1.-The enemy's
activities"
more than once" he continued,
fcaptured English spies have had
evidence of English support of differ.
ent white guard organizations. Never
thelesS the Soviet maneuvered to pro.
long the period Of peace to the utmost
limits.

times are behind us. England is lead.

Reply to Poland Ready.
"If until now she has not succeeded
in throwing them upon us, it Is not
due to lack of intention, but to po-
litical controversies which do not per-
NIT the creation Of solid front"
If war ensued with insufficient eco-
nomical preparation, he concluded. 1t
would bring disaster; therefore he
urged strengthening the rear.
The reply Of the Soviet government
to the Polish note expressing regret
for the assa assination of Pierre Vol
koff, Soviet Minister at Warsaw, will
be handed to NJ. Patek, the Polish
minister here, tonight.

REPORT $1,7DO LOST
BY POCKET THEFTS
At Least 26 Persons Robbed
on Streets and Cars as
Crowds Celebrate. z

Pickpockets and sneak thieves ran
wild in Washington among the crowds
on Pennsylvania avenue and on the
Monument Grounds yesterday, and
losses of more than $1,7O0 had been
reported by rs persons last night.
Although detectives had been posted
to watch especially, only Detectives
Kelly. Waldron and Sweeney, and
Chauffeur Wolfe had brought in sus-
poets who were found to have police
records, but who had not been spe-
officially charged with crimes, last
night. These detectives arrested six
suspects, all of whom except one were
found to have records.
The greatest profit was derived by
picketpockets operating on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, near Seventh street
and near Fifteenth street, and in the
Monument Grounds. Some got rich
haulS.
Discarded Bill Folds.
Indications that professionals were
at work were found In half q dozen
bill folds discarded by mail collectors
in ktter boxes in the downtown sec-
tioA.
Reece r. Dutton Of 71s A. street
northeast, reported the loss Of his
pocketbook and 5000, while he was
on a street car between Eighth street
and Pennsylvania avenue southeast
and the Peace Monument.
e. M. Jeffries Of 470 NJ street south.
west, reported his diamond stickpin
valued at $500 had been lifted" from
MS tie while on Fourteenth street
car at Seventh street and Pennsyl.
vania avenue.
Other serious losses were reported
by the following: Alber E. Mayer of
Kansas City, Mo-, stopping at the
Raleigh Hotel, $51 in cash, while in
the Monument Grounds; John Draf.
foulos, 2G31 Fourteenth street, $50 in

Earl @. Morse, 1923 Eighth street.
S56, while in the Monument Grounds.
Other losses did not amount to more
than $25 in any single case.
No Experts Imported.
The widespread pickpocket opera
tions this year occurred during the
first big celebration in Washington
when the local police had failed to
import from other cities detectives
expert in 'spotting" pickpockets. Only
five out-of-town experts were on hand.
this year, and they volunteered their
services upon arriving in town to at.
tend the celebration,
