that the fate of Cheng-Chow now

Feng has his back to the wall and is
fighting desperately.
Foreign reports received here now
show that the northern claim TO nave
recaptured Chochow, forty miles south
west of Peking, was premature.
Three thousand Shansi troops be-
sieged for the past two weeks IN
Chochow, where they were caught IN
their first rush on Peking, have
been holding out fiercely despite
northern artillery fire, which already
has battered down two gates OF its
twelve century old walls
The Chochow siege is a striking
combination of modern and medieval
warfare, and the ancient walls have
proven unexpectedly strong against
modern artillery fire. The defenders
dug in modern trenches on top OF the
great walls, have been successful IN
repelling troops seeking to scale
them.
The besiegers are using airplanes'
both for dropping bombs and pro-
paganda. 1t appears that portion OF
the northern forces succeeded in en-
tering the city by breaks inN the wall,
engaging in street fighting, but the
Shansi defenders are still holding on.
Using Chentow as a base, the north

POstman Delayed Settlement
Terms.

PARIS, Sept. 25.--In his attempt
to throw suspicion on the debt nego-
tiations between the Soviet Union
and the French government, Anatole
de Monte, chairman of the delega-
ton negotiating the Franco-czarist
debts, has announced that the letter
from Ambassador Rakowsky contain
ing Litvinov's terms, was delayed in
delivery by postman's error.
The terms of settlement include the
payment in twenty-one annuities of
100000 gold francs ($12,O0O,OO0)
but makes these payments dependent
upon the extension by France of
credits to the Soviet Republic. The
government of the Soviet Union has
announced its willingness to guaran-
tee its good faith by depositing 3d.
100000 gold francs with the French
banks within six months of the agree
ment.
The rumor that the Soviet govern
ment proposes to make the annuity
payments partly in oil has aroused
the fury of the British oil interests
who are doing all in their power to
interrupt the negotiations thru mis-
representations in the French press.

Build Anti-FaSCiSt
Group as Benit0'S
Boy Scouts Gather

NEW. BRITAIN, Sept. 25.-At a
meeting held Sunday afternoon in the
meeting Hall of the Sons of Italy in
Walnut Street, about one hundred
boys were enlisted in a troop of fas-
cist boy scouts. The organization
plans were made and carried out by
the local fascist league branch. The
purposes of the new troop will be to
train the boys of Italian extraction
in American methods of physical Gull
ture, and they will be drilled under
an instructor delegated by the Amer
lean Legion here, according to the sec
rotary of the fascist branch.
This bit Of news shows the growing
open and brazen collaboration between
the American brand of fascism as ex-
pressed by the Legion, and it's ItaI-
ian prototype. There are indeed many
valuable lessons in American fascist
methods that can be taught to the
adheronts of the italian black shirts,
clubs and castor oil.
To counteract the poisonous activi-
ties of the fascists in a working class
town like New Britain with a popula-
ton of over $4,000 workers, an anti
fascist branch of go workers was or
ganized last week Frederick Chic,
treasurer of the Anti-Fascist Union
of New Britain explained that the
fascist organization of New Britain,
which with the aid of the American
Legion has undertaken to instill ha-
tired for the workers and the lust for
murder into the minds of the children
of the working class, has been organ
ized with the approval and aid of the
italian government.
The New Britain workers will
struggle against both the Italian fas-
cists and the menace of their advis-
ers, the American Legion. Plans are
being made for an extensive campaign
among the workers exposing fascism
both in Italy and the U. S.-New

alist bloc in the French government,
General "Black Jack" Pershing has
ordered Berlin struck off the list of
the European cities to be visited by

of the statement of the French ma

embitter the feeling of the French
towards the Legion.
Pershing and a party of American
militarists, including the past and the

WHITE TERRORIST
SPIES Get DEATH
in U. S. S. R. COURT
Two Die in Attempt to
Invade Soviet Union

MOSCOW, USSR, Sept. 25.--Of
the five monarchists tried at Lenin
grad, four have been sentenced to
death, one Of them to ten years i'm
prisonment. After reading sentence,
according to the simple, dignified
procedure of the Soviet Unions sys-
TEN, the court announced a commu-
nication from state political depart
ment that on Wednesday three I'M
known men, attempting to cross the
frontier from Finland, showed armed
resistance to the Soviet frontier
guards who killed two Of them while
one escaped into Finland. Monarchist
arms and proclamations were found
on one of the dead men. SOlsky rec
ognized in one of the men killed the
guide who accompanied him and his
group from Finland to the USSR.
All five of the accused monarchists
pleaded guilty to the charge of pre-
pairing terroristic acts and espionage,
under instructions from the intelli-
gence services of Finland, Latvia,
Poland and other states.
The defendant, Stroevoy, who was
a former marine lieutenant and
served in Kolchak's army, declared
that the Latvian intelligence service
in giving him his espionage instruc-
tions, informed him of the nature of
the material which he would collect,
which was also wanted by the French
naval attache.
The prosecutor demanded capital
punishment fer all the prisoners. He
declared that the accused have been
accomplishing what was agreed upon
two years ago with Reilly, the rep
resentative of the British secret in
telhgence service, who was the main
organizer of the terror in the USSR.
The work of the prisoners was not
limited to espionage but they were
entrusted also with blowing up
bridges and mills in order to throw
into confusion the adjustments of the
national economy of the Soviet Union.
Alexander Balmassov, a former cap
tain in Wrangels white army, de-
clared, during the course of his trial,
that it was a policy of the terrorists
to try for the factories, because
these are the real strategic points of
attack son the Soviet front" Balmas-
SOW asserted that he had been paid
1000 marks a month by the Grand
Duke Nicholas headquarters in Paris
for carrying counter-revolutionary
literature across the frontiers of the
Soviet Union, while he was given
1000 marks each month by Col.
Rosenstern, head of the Finnish Sec
ret service, for bringing back spy re-
ports
The examination of Balmassov es-
tablished that all the terrorist groups,
including that led by Nine. Zahar-
shenko-Schultze, who tried to blow
up the Ogpu headquarters, and that
of Soloviev, who blew up the bust
ness club in Leningrad on June 7,
were directed and actively assisted by
Col Rosenstern. The former spy adj
mitted that the white terrorist meth
DDS had been resolved on only when
it had become apparent that all or
binary propaganda against the So
Wet Union was futile.
