granting him every other quality you

Reed simply hasn't an equal IN his

have lines just as good, but they're
not the same.

 Known to the multitude of Mark Twain lovers as "The Yankee, ' this story is regarded not only as great classic of American hu. nor, but also as a forceful satire directed against those who sigh for the good old times" Mark Twain set out to show that the world we live in is the best of all possible worlds, and the time we live in is the best of all pos sible times.
 This he did by taking a typical young American, bright as a new penny, filled with smart, up-to' date ideas, and setting him down in a medieval court. where he could judge for himself whether the knights of old were more courageous than the men of to-

Northern. Pacific Making Film of Scenes Along
 Alaska Tour Route

Closer attention to Alaskan tourist travel and it's stimulation by advertising and the use of mo- tion pictures is the aim of the Northern Pacific Railroad, ac- cording to Karl K. katz, Alaska representative of that company, who visited here while the steam CT Alaska was in. port. He is a passenger for Seward enroute to Fairbanks and will visit other towns on the route southbound returning here.
 Our company recognizes the importance of the Alaska busi- ness and is leading the way in fostering it. he said. Special attention is being given to the touris. business and our efforts in this line will be redoubled in the future."
 On this present trip, which is the sixth in the Territory, MT. Katz Is using a standard carpera in making moving pictures of scenes along the route which the tourist travels between Seattle and Fairbanks. As the Alaska came into the harbor here yester- day afternoon, taking advantage of favorable light and weather conditions, MT. Katz "shot" the local waterfront for incorporation into the film. When completed, he will take the film east to be shown to audiences as one means of stimulating interest in tourist travel in the north.
 A change in the hour of depar- ture from Seattle of the North Coast Limited for Chicago effec- tive May 6, was announced by MT. Katz. Heretofore it has departed at 9 a. m. The new time will be l1f a. m. This will make it pos sible for passengers arriving on morning boats from Alaska to take the train east without delay. Mir. Katz expects to return here May 17 and remain in town a week or 10 days.

"TlN. HATS" OPENS AT PALACE TONIGHT

"Tin Hats" D1g comedy drama of war days opens three day engagement ct the Palace tonight.
 Claire Windsor and Conrad Ma gel head the cast of this Metro GoldwynMayer picture, and the combination proves even more ef- fective than it ever has in the past. Under the direction of Ed ward Sedgwick, the two reveal comedy qualities never before sus- pected, and in the more serious moments of the picture handle every scene with boise and dra- matic understanding.
 Miss Windsor plays the part of Elsa Won Bergen, titled German girl, come to claim her castle on the Rhine immediately after the signing of the Armistice. Her path crosses that of three ire. sponsible American doughboys played by Nagel, George Cooper and Bert Roach, and her destiny becomes strangely interwoven with the odd trio. sisi4
 Cooper and Roach as the former gangster and the son of St Louis German brewer contribute notably to the comedy of the pic. ture. Their every appearance is the signal for a gale of laughter
 If you saw "The Big Parade" you remember Tom O'Brien. Tom is in the army again in "Tin Hats as the hard-boiled top sergeant.

workers. The Donetz process showed
technical deficiencies, but the first
generation of revolutionary techni-
clans is now entering industry. De-
spite difficulties in the Soviet Union,
production is increasing at an I'M
exampled speed.
The five-year plan provides for an
120 per cent increase in industrial
production. This means production
will be increased 144 per cent, agri-
culture 80 to 40 per cent. Real
wages will be increased. The only
danger for the proletarian dictator
ship is the possibility, even the prob
ability of capitalist attack. The
problem before this congress is how
to prevent this attack, or if UMPIRE
ventable how to turn it into vic
torious proletarian revolution in the
capitalist countries.
At the az session yesterday after
noon the situation and problems of
the communist Party IN the Soviet
Union was discussed; the roots of
the Trotzkist theology in class rela-
tons in the Soviet Union and the
objective situation internationally
were taken up.
Manuilski then polemised against
Trotzky's ideas. He said that "the
opposition in the whole world is de-
feated. The feminist party is suf-
ficiently strong to carry out success
fully all the tasks of socialist con-
struction until assistance from in
ternational proletariat arrives. The
Communist Party knows that there
is not a path more to the left than
Leninism." Manuilski was ap-
plauded.

With $l80OQOOO IN Munitions for Albania Italy PREPARES Balkan Wars
FASCISTS TURN
MOUNTAIN STATE
TO ARMED CAMP
Huge Force of Slaves
Tolls for Rome

VIENNA, Aug. 26.-Behind the
move sto proclaim Achmed Zogu
king of Albania lies a whole net
work of italian intrigue backed by
constant flow of rifles, machine
guns and other materials of war
from the peninsula to the smaller
Balkan State, reports from Tirana
reveal
Accounts which would tend to
show that the Italian ramification
of all activities in Albania is greater
by far than even the wariest of her
foreign neighbors dreams have been
leaking from that country within
the last few days.
Eighteen million dollars worth of
ammunition, rifles and artillery is
said to be a conservative estimate
of the war material which Italy has
shipped to Albania in the past 18
months. War equipment to main
tain an army of 100000 men in the
field is also reported as part of a
plan by which it is believed the Ital-
ians hope to consolidate their inter-
ests in the Balkan peninsula.
Plans for building the Albanian
army to force of 100000, in a ma
ton Of 100000, are also contem-
plated by Rome and Achmed Zogu.
Recruits are constantly being called
into service and reservists called
back for training.
Formerly it is alleged that Ital-
ian ships from such Adriatic ports
as Brindisi and Bari, loaded to
capacity with arms and ammunition,
used to discharge their explosive
cargo under cover of night in AL
bantam ports. Such materials are
now being openly brought into the
country, where they are carried off
by fleets of Italian motor trucks
waiting for them at the wharves.
The materials are apparently stored
with view to present use against
the ugo-Slavs.
1t is said that if the Albanian
treasury were called upon to pay
for a fraction of the war materials
which have been imported in the
last year and half that the country
would be bankrupt.
Scores of Italian army officers
are meanwhile training the Albanian
army and have been officially
placed in command of Albanian
regiments. All of the more i'm
portant strategic positions are COM
manded by Italians, it is said.
Under the direction of the /Ital-
ians, armies of Mohammetan labor
ers carry out the plans which are
made in Rome and accepted in tt
rama. These labor forces, living
like animals on the slim proceeds of
what is virtually forced labor, are
said to be housed around the powder
magazines, Of whose contents they
are kept in ignorance. The Italians
are taking no chances with labor
troubles.
Meanwhile fresh corps of officers
and new shiploads of ammunition
are constantly arriving from Italy.

struggle, must tie themselves up

United States.
The Role of the Party.
In the organization campaign, the
burden of leadership and general
work will fall upon our Party COM
rades. The Party must be the driv-
ing force in the whole movement.
This must be realized clearly and
the proper conclusions drawn. There
is no other organized group that can
go through with an aggressive or
ganizing campaign. The local pro-
gressive trade unionists are de-
moralized by the misleadership of
such men as Bait and Martel. The
socialists are practically nom
existant. 1t is no accident that the
socialist party was conspicuous by
its absence in the recent Flint strike.
The socialist party is generally de-
funct in Michigan. The I. w. w.
are few and demoralized with syn
dicalist illusions. Our Party repre-
sents the only firm and decisive
body capable of carrying out such a
task. The Communist Party is the
leading force that must take the
initiative and form the backbone Of
building up the resistance Of the
workers. 1t must crystalize the feel
ings of the workers and help them
build a mass organization in order
to fight successfully these gigantic
combinations Of American CAPT.
