JOHNSON GIVES UP
 DUTY WITH POLICE
(Continued From First Pase)

ular force, and 1t is significant that the detail on which hs worked just before becoming . regular officer was the same as that to which he was assigned just prior to his appli- cation for retirement. In the "old days" however. the superuumerary policeman at the theater was on du- ty in the evening only. whereas the present practice Is to police the thea ters afternoons and evenings.
 To Officer Johnson is given much of the credit for starting the Chtl- dren's Home, of which Rev. Dr. J. E.. Klingberg is founder and superin- tendent, for it was Charley who called Dr. Klingberg's attention to needy cases among children of 2 poor family, and in providing shelter for them, the clergyman actually began his great work for homeless chil- dren. None among the large crowd in attendance at the laying of the cornerstone of the present orphan age building on Rackliffe Heights . few years ago was prouder and hap pier than Officer Johnson.
 Officer Michael Meehan was trans ferred to the Veterans Reserve force a few weeks ago. being the first of- ficer to apply. In the event that the board of police commissioners ap- points successors to Onicer Meehan and Officer Johnson at the meeting tomorrow night, the selection will be made from Supernumerary Oificers Cyrus schoonmaker, William Sulli- van, Walter Wagner and John Riley. Officer James Rappanotti, who has been in the department long enough to be eligible and is also within the age limit, is disqualified at this time because of illness.
 Policemen on the veterans reserve force draw half pay, which in Officer Johnson's case is $2l a week while they remain on the force, with the provision that they may be returned to active duty at full pay if they be- come able to fill places on the regu- lar force.

DARING WOMEN IN
 THRILLING HUNTS
Several Unite for Further Ey'
 citing Exploits

New York, Feb. R-Woman's place is in the jungles. believe some 50 American women who have banded together for the purpose of gaining recognition of tbeir ability in exploration.
 The National Society of Woman Geographers is celebrating it's sec ond anniversary and points to its two years of existence as proof that a woman can be charming. wear pretty clothes. and still do man. sized piece of work in primitive, un- civilized waster of territory.
 The society is composed of na- tionally and internationally recog- nized women geographers and those who have done distinguished work in the allied sciences. ethnology, archaeology. botany. natural history. sociology, folklore and arts and crafts.
 Active membership in the society is dependent upon the contribu- tions the woman makes to science. Associate membership is granted to women who sponsor such trips, who take them as lay-women, or who are interested in active geographical in- vestigations.
 The overgrown thicknesses of South American jungles, the caste proof communities of central India, hc i,ofn nf ftin Q cient seats Of civilization in China have all been penetrated and their secrets converted to scientific chan- nels by these women.
 Harriet Chalmers Adams. presi- dent of the society, an authority on Latin-America and Spain, tells of the genesis of the organization.
 The mon. you know, have had their de-bound exclusive little ex- plorers' and adventurers' clubs for years and years" she said. But they have always been so afraid that some mere woman might pene- tratc their sanctums of discussion that they don't even permit women in their clubhouses. much less allow them to attend any meetings. for discussions that might be mutually helpful
 "We decided that the best thing 10 do would be to organize our own club
 Among the women who are mem- bers is Mary Hastings Bradley of Chicago. who has been member of two expeditions to Africa. She was on the first white expedition through the unexplored cannibal country of the Nameless mountains in the Bel eian Congo. brought back the first mountain gorillas to this country and made pictures of wild gorillas.
 Gertrude Emerson, associate edi- tor of Asia" is living in primi- tive tribe in India as the only white person within 50 miles, making a study of it's civilization. social economic and political.
 Blair Niles, secretary of the so- ciety, has just returned from 8 year in French Guiana. and is writ ing a book on that country. Corresponding membership Is granted to those women of other countries who are engaged in sim ilar work. Among them are Ger maine Mcrlange, of France, an iau- thority on the textiles of the Orient who is in this country delivering q series of lectures. and Ella R.

arising out of his pessimism as to
the possibility of building Social
ism in Soviet Russia, and out of
his Menshevik theory on the pea

Trotsky periodically threw the
Party into the throes of political
discussion over questions on which
he was fundamentally wrong,
such as Brest Litovsk, militariza-
tion of labor, more freedom for
the "spetz," the right of per-
retual discussion, super-indus-
trialization, etc. He took the
stand OF permanent opposition, the
right to fight by any and all
means against the Party, inside

cation presented facts to prove that
the Bolivian government was mass

declaring that the Paraguayan-

He further announced that the Ar

OF HIS ARREST

PARIS, (By Mail).-A few days
ago the French newspaper "Temps"
astonished it's readers with new
sensation: a dispatch from London
reported "the arrest of Bella Kun
in Rumania." Bella Kun was said
to have been arrested in Konstanza
with a roll of manuscripts and
with large amount of banknotes.
Regarding this Bella Kun declares
the following:
"These blockheads enjoy them
selves broadcasting lies. 1t would
be laughable to reply to this discov-
cry from abroad. l should remark,
however, that this lying rumor
seems to come from Rumania where

to five years prison for contempt
of court. Since l was born in
Siebenburgen I worked there be-
fore the war; it seemed most likely
that / should be arrested in Ru-
mania.
"The report about my arrest is
above all symptomatic of the new
regime, since the lying reports of

ly for the, purpose of sharpening
its unparalleled white terror.

conclusion, "that l am always ar

SILK union HITS
STRIKE TRAITORS
Calls for
Organization

PATERSON, N. j., Dec. 13.-An
important official statement, which
lays bare the duplicity of the of
ficials of the Associated Silk Work
ers' Union, who are part of the
general boss offensive toprevent the
Paterson silk workers from organ
izing into an effective union, was
issued yesterday by the Paterson To-
Gals of the National Textile Work.
ers' Union.
The statement, which calls on the
silk workers here to unite in build
ing a powerful organization which
will fight for instead of betray their
interests, declares:
Fellow Workers:
The National Textile Workers
Union has already become firmly
established in Paterson. The strike
forced on the officials of the Asso-
ciated was broken by these officials
so that these officials now stand ex-
posed as the open enemy of the
workers. Already the mass of ac-
tive silk workers joined the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, and
see that only through fighting,
militant organization can they win
better conditions.
When the bosses saw that the of
ficials of the Associated and of the
U. T. W., could no longer fool the
workers and that the workers were
building up new union, the en-
ployers in Paterson at once planned
huge campaign against US. At
first the Chamber of Commerce de-
nounced the National Union. Then
the newspapers with steady stream
of articles tried to poison the minds
of the workers against the National
Union. When this did not succeed,
the employers financed that fascist
