him." said he. And that was all that
Flip could get from him.
1t was later that very day that Flip
took it into his head to go over into
the Old Orchard. In the far corner of
it he suddenly came upon a stranger.
This stranger was smaller than him
self. but not very much smaller. He
was dressed in black and white. He
had wonderful tail At first sight of
him Flip stopped. "A cat!" he exclaimed
under his breath. "A cat! It's long
a cat. I'll put that fellow up tree,
or else I'll catch him"
Suiting action to the words. Flip
bounded forward barking his loudest.
He expected to see this cat run. He
was rather taken aback when the black
and white stranger didn't run at all.
In fact, he went on about his business,
without paying the least attention to
Flip Flip didn't know what to make
of this. Never in his life had he been
treated this way before. He stopped
and stared at the stranger and the
stranger didn't even take the trouble
to look at him. Then Flip began to
jump about the stranger. all the time
barking in a most excited way. There
was something about the stranger that
gave Flip an uneasy feeling. He hest
tated to rush in and grab and shake
the stranger to death. But as the
stranger continued to pay no attention
to him. Flip became holder. He be-
came bolder and more impudent. He
growled and he barked and he snarled.
He made dreadful threats.
Bowser, sitting by the kitchen door,
heard the fuss and started out to in
vestigate. When he got down in the
Old orchard and saw who it was that
Flip was being to impudent with,
Bowser just sat down with grin on
his face. Said he, talking to himself:
Something is going to happen. I wish
it would happen farther away. But If
Flip can stand it I guess the rest of
us can

reports at least, by a so-called
court martial" which accounts say

spot"
The official account from Man
aqua, Nicaragua, hypocritically
states: American marines appar-
emily had no part in the execution
of Jiron, the entire affair being in
the hands of Nicaraguans."
This is fatty contradicted by the
fact that U. S. Marine headquarters
has repeatedly issued statements de-
claring that the marines, and not
the volunteers" or even the So
called national guard are in
charge of all military operations
and emphatically asserting that all
of both the national guards" and
the volunteers" are strictly sub
ordinate to American officers and
act only under their orders.

casion of the eleventh anniversary
of the Red Army the Political Ad
ministration of the Red Army pub
fishes interesting statistics regard
ing its development and compost
ton.
The army today numbers one
third of the tsaYist army. In 1914
the Russian standing army consisted
of 1,423,000 officers and men. In
1918 the Red Army numbered 1867
900 and with the growing danger to
the Sovie4 Union increased in 1919
to $4,000, in 1920 to 3,539,000 and
in 1921 to 4,110000 when the coun-
er-revolutionary armies We're de-
feated The Red Army membership
then decreased to 100000 in 1922,
to 100000 in 1923 and beginning
with 1924 the Red Army was sta
bilized at $50 900
The social composition OF the
army under the tsar and under the
Soviets compares as follows: In
1913 the Russian Army was COM
posed of AL per cent workers, 69.3
per cent peasants and 1G.5 per cent
others. At the present time work
ers constitute 1871 per cent of the
Red Army, peasants 71.3 per cent
and others 1915 per cent.
The number of Communists in the
Red Army varies, according TO OBJ
jeetive conditions. In 1920, the most
critical year in the existence of the
Soviet Union, the number of Com
munists in the Red Army was at its
maximum and was equal to 81 per
cent of the total membership of the
Communist Party. In 1918 the
number of Communists in the Red
Army was $4,000; in 1919, 212,6S1;

1927, 90,583 and the the present
time, 1926.
The national composition of the
Red Army is as follows: Russians,
CAB per cent; Ukrainians, ia per
cent; White Russian, AZ per cent;
Jews, 81 per cent; Tartars, 2 per
cent. The other nationalities in the
Red Army constitute less than per
cent each.
Intensive educational work is car
ried on in the Red Army. An litter
ate is not allowed to leave it's ranks.
During it's existence about $4,000
recruits were taught to read and
write. At the present time the Red
Army has 1923 libraries, containing
9 100000 books. 1t also has 730 clubs,
against 1893 in 1918. There are $40

thinking of making secret negotia-
tions with Vienna; they wanted to
appease the anger of the relatives
of the assassinated archduke: they
expected to profit by the occasion to
satiate their vengeance on their for
midable enemy, Apis.
At one time they were thinking
Of assassinating him, but the plot
died out. Then the Saloniea frame
up took place. It's history is told in
a:remarkable book by the former
lainister Bognitchevitch. Apis was
accused of high treason, tried in a
room with closed doors, condemned
to death and executed. The "Black
Hand" came to an end. With the
same statutes, the same methods,
the same ceremonies another organi-
cation was born, created by Jivko-
witch and called white Hand"
1t is this white Hand" that has
been making laws in Yugoslavia for
the past ten years. Thanks to it,
the Serbian regime has endeavored
10 consolidate by force its hegemon-
ious politics within the state and
to assure itself of the support of
the great imperialists outside of the
state.
Auction Its Wealth.
To carry out it's policy the Serb
ian .bourgeoisie has not hesitated to
place its national wealth at auction.
Today 80 per cent of it's mines are
in the hands of foreign capital. It's
military equipment has been rein
forced to the extent that its ex-
penses consume 80 per cent of the
state budget. The big property own
ers have kept their wealth, and their
intact, while the peas
ants were condemned to famine and
misery.
In order to obtain from the purse
of London and Paris the loans which
they had asked, the Yugoslavian
rulers, driven to bankruptcy, had to
submit to the wishes of the foreign
office and Quai d'Orsay.
They had to consent to turning
Yugoslavia into one of the most i'm
portant centers for the preparations
of the anti-Soviet war.
We don't know how to say with
more emphasis that the clique which
triumphed on the eve of December
5th, with the support of English
and French imperialists is the same
one that started off the explosion

plans could be extracted" from
him. It appears that Jiron stead
tasty refused to betray SANDING.
Angered by Jiron's resistance,
the U. S. Marines decided not to
treat Jiron as a prisoner of war,
but to execute him. and turned this
dirty job over to the small mercen-
airy force of so-called Nicaraguan
volunteers" so as to give the muir
der the color of being a strictly
Niearaguan affair.
Jiron was forced to go along
with little band of these assas-

supposedly to hunt Sandino's camp.
