the witness stand, and he had to ex-
plain that it was all a misunder-
standing-what he had said was
not "sixty-eight thousand dollars"
but "six or eight cows" You can
see how easy it was for such mis-
take to happen!
But then it was shown that Sec
rotary Crisby had deposited a hum
bred thousand dollars in his bank
one day; and where had he got
that? A great Washington news
paper publisher came forward to
declare that he had loaned his dear
friend the secretary that little sum
for no particular reason. The great
publisher then went off to Florida
to spend the winter, and he was
sick and couldn't possibly be dis
turbed. But the perverse commit
tee sent one of its members to
Florida and put the publisher on
the witness stand, and in the pres
ence of half hundred newspaper
reporters pinned him down and
made him admit that his story had
been a friendly fairy-tale.
Where had the hundred thousand
come from? The scandal-monger
were busy, of course-fellows like
Dan Irving running to the COM
mittee with tales of what Washing
ton gossip was saying. So the
committee grabbed Young Pete'
O'Reilly, and "grilled" him, and
made him admit that he had car
ried the trifling sum of a hundred
thousand dollars to Secretary Girls
by in little black bag-more stuff
right out of a movie! And then
they grabbed "Old Pete" and he
claimed it was just loan-he had
got note, but he couldn't recollect
where the note was. He finally
produced a signature which he said
had been cut off the note, but he
couldn't tell what had become of
the rest of it; he was very care
less about notes, and thought he
had given this one to his wife, who
had misplaced all but the signature.
And these scandalous details about
the leaders of tire most fashionable
society in Washington and Angel
City! The newspapers published it,
even while they shivered at their
own irreverence.

Breaking Chains" An
Epic Labor Film
BY Leon Blumenfeld.

Judging by the interest taken in the
sensational film, Breaking Chains"
which is scheduled for de luxe pre-
sentation, Sunday, February 6, at the
new Waldorf theatre on West SO
Street, capacity audiences will be
present to further inspire and en-
nance the principle of the interna-
tional worker. 1t will be the initial
performance in New York, and will
be given under the exclusive auspices
Of the International Workers Aid.
Breaking Chains" is a significant
title for this classic photo-drama. 1t
is a brilliant succession of events
entwined into a beautiful love tale,
the central theme of which pleads for
the proletarian laborer the world
over. 1t possesses all the essential
ingredients that go to make up a
great picture. Love, hate, irony, suf-
fering, brutality, and RIGHTEOUSNESS
are some of the outstanding elements
depicted. 1t is not meant to shock,
but rather to teach, to summon up
courage and penchance.
AliuSu elllISly III INuSSld anu uedl-
| ing with the late Russian revolution
and the overthrow of the Czarist
reign, Breaking Chains" was inn
ported to this country at a great ex-
pense by the /. w. A. 1t will thrill,
enrapture and fluster American au-
diences as effectively as it has on the
other side of the water, because its
appeal is of universal nature. This
European motion picture is not to be
mistaken for a news reel. 1t is q
tense human document containing
actual news, photographed dexterious-
| ly, a love story with char ulng
maiden, hero who wins her at the
final fade-out, and the symbollcai
villain with his cursed and morose
tactics, and so on. 1t reveals the up
building of new nation in the Rus
STA of old.
Tickets can be purchased in the box
office of the Waldorf theatre, in jim
ME Higgins bookshop and at the Of
flee of the Daily Worker. There will
be A showings, at p. M, p. M, z

ODE TO LENIN
By ADOLF WOLFF

You rise
To ever greater Stature
AS Time recedeS
In inverse ratio
To the size of those
Who strutted History's stage
But yesterday
And are today faint memories.
Where are the Cemenceaus,
Whose rage shook Nations;
The Woodrow Wilson's?
Whose suave hypocrisy embraced the World.
The crafty fox Lloyd George?
Won Hindenburg,
Castrated ruler of vasal State?
Where are those cocky statesmen
In whose fat palms
The fate Of Nations lay?
They were the servants
Of passing phase,
A momentary spasm,
A system that Must die.
But you
You lived and died
For that greatest of all causes:
The emancipation Of man
From the tyranny of man.
And while like creeping shadows,
They Sinking merge
Into the blackness of the Past;
You rise and rise and rise
To ever greater heights
In the love and estimation
Of ever greater masses,
Like sun
Casting the light of Liberation
Over ever WIDENING areas.

HIGH DEATH TOLL
 AROUSES BRITAIN
Unusually Large Number Killed
 in Air Service

London, Jan. 20 (UP) T. British public opinion is much aroused over the mounting death toll in the Royal Air Force which in the first eleven months of last year cost s1 lives in 51 accidents. Fifteen of these deaths occurred in three accidents. In ad- dltfon many more pilots were seri- ously injured in 230 crashes in which all the machines were so bad iy wrecked as to be beyond repair
 In written reply to criticism of the Air Force, Sir Samuel Hoare, Secretary for Air stated:
 Tn spite of continuous and care ful scrutiny of every individual ac- cident no general cause can be as- signed. Many accidents are the re- suit of a combination of causes. A mechanical failure containing no element of danger in itself, but ne- cessitating a bad landing, may be followed by a crash due to bad ground or an error of judgment.
 Every endeavor is being made to evolve more controllable machines and mechanical devices designed to increase the safety of flying. Para chutes have been generally intro- duced and have saved several lives this year. But it should also be re- memberer that aircraft are constant ly improving in performance and every addition to speed and power tends to make the result of an ac- cident more serious"

PRESIDENT OF BROWN
 ANSWERS CRITICISMS
Says People Will Never Condemn Football Just Because it Is
 "Too Interesting"

Providence, R. l., Jan. 20 lP- The criticism of football that de- clares the game "too interesting to be tolerated" has been answered by President w. H. P. Faunce, or Brown University, with the asser- ton that America will never con- demn any kind of work or play De- cause it is of absorbing interest.
 When all studies shall make clear appeal to the youthful love or adventure and games shall be used not for exploitation, of a few stu dents, but for the training and de- velopment of all, the present artitl- cial antagonism of study and sport will quietly fade away" President Faunce told the Brown corporation in his annual report made pubic last night.
 Restraint of the attitude of many alumni that the great aim Of out door college life seemed to be to make q Roman holiday had been accomplished at Brown through or ganiZation of a new athletic coun- cil, he said. Because of the alumni view college sports had become the "side shows that swallowed up he clrcus." Browns new council con- sists of four corporation and four faculty members, two alumni, and the president or his representative. It will control fixing of schedules, engagements of coaches, and expendi- lures for equipment and mainte- nance.

THE LAYALAN

By Edgar A. Guest
Leave it to the minister's. and soor
the church will die,
Leave it to the women-folk-the
young will pass it by.
For the church is all that lifts us
from the coarse and selfish mob
And the church that is to prosper
needs the layman on the JOB.
Now layman has his business, and
a layman has his joys,
But he also has the training Of his
little girls and boys;
And wonder how he'd like it if
there were no churches here,
And he had to raise his children in
a Goddess atmosphere,
It's the church's special function to
uphold the finer things,
To teach that way of living from
which all that's noble springs;
But the minister can't do it, single
handed and alone,
For the laymen of the country are
the church's cornerstone.
When you see church that's empty,
though its doors are opened
wide,
It is not the church that's dying. It's
the laymen who have died;
For it's not by song or sermon that
the church's work is done,
IS the laymen of the country who
for God must carryNon.

To the little boy or girl of three

In any wefl-kept house it is
"Don't put your hands on that,

EOW WILL MERCHANTS MEET
MAIL ORDER COMPETITION

UnGer The Head OF "Are Small
Town Merchants Quitters?", A. D.
Bolens, publisher of the Port Wash
ington (SVis.) Star, recently put up
to the merchants in his town the
question Of how they were going to
meet the t2ampetition of big-city
concerns. He\ writes as follows:
II big-town merchants constantly
flood small NOwn with their ad-
vertising circulaf\s and gobble trade
it's because smaN-town merchants
are cutters.
Fight them in ! the hometown
newspapers.
Tell your business Astory to your
neighbors and, according to the con-
fidence you have built up in their
minds as to your honestly integrity
and knowledge of goods AMID values,
will come your reward, BECAUSE they
your neighbors, instinctiveNy will
rally to a hometown concerA that
shows it has not laid down ton big
town competition.
Use the advertising columns \of
the hometown newspapers peA-
sistently, intelligently, giving ton
the preparation of your "store
news" the same earnest care that
you give to selecting stock, seek
the cooperation of the hometown
newspaper publishers who are in
such work, and your little battle
will be won, not in a day or week,
perhaps not in year, but eventual
ly.
There's no reason why small
town folks cash should pour into
the till of big-town merchants es-
adjustments instead of your town
other than your neglect of the i'm
portant matter of telling the home
folks what you have to sell, the
values of the goods yop offer, and
your personal service to them.
Take stock of yourself, consult
your local newspaper publisher,
work as team, and the trade of
your neighbors and friends, right !
fully yours if you show you prize it,
will flow in your direction instead
of out of town.
The editor is confident that folks
engaged in business in our small |
towns are every whit as alert to
built up trade and serve customers
as the big-town chaps. If you still !
don't believe this, try trading with !
these small-tOwn men whose adver-
tisements appear on our country
correspondence and other pages of
this issue of the Milford Chronicle.
