 English Spellings Often German
 "Germans have been famous as explorers and map makers so the German spelling for place names in parts of Europe and other con- tinents has often become the Eng lish' spelling. German penetration of Russia, coupled with the difficult ties of the Russian alphabet, result ed in the extensive use of German names for Russian places. The Russians countenanced the English worlds use of St. Petersburg until Then the name was altered to Petro- grad. Later 1t was renamed Lenin- grad. the grad Slavic for city, per sisting instead of the German burg
 'Introduction of native local names, the official post office names, for individual European states Is relatively easy when the nation uses the Latin alphabet Difficulties arise in countries such as the II. s. s. R. where the alphabet differs. How ever, national and international geo. graphic boards have worked out rules of transliteration by which the equivalents of letters unknown to the English alphabet can be writ ten in Latin letters.

WHERE IS YENEZIA OR THESSALON|KE?
AngliCiZed Forms Give Clue to
 Venice and Sal0nika

Washington, D. C., Oct. 30.-Arc you familiar with Sardcgna, Kar- lovy, Ankara or Thessalonike?
 Probably not, though you readily recognize the Anglicizcd names of those places which are, respectively. Sardinia, Karlsbad, Angora and Sa- loniki.
 The question of how, then, did English speaking people come to adopt these and other appellations for European places is discussed in the following bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic Society. Some Spellings Due to Early Error
 The Society compiled a list of of ficial spellings of European place names in the preparation of it's new map for it's membership, which map follows the rule of national autono- my in the spelling of foreign place names. For easy identification the customary English spellings are given in parcntheses, and a glance at the map shows how far English usage has departed, in many cases, from the native nomenclature of many familiar places.
 Some of the strange names are results of changes since the World , War;" the bulletin says. "Othcrs diverge because of long usage: In some cases the divergence is due to sheer error perpctuatd from medic val times.
 Such seems to be the case with Iivorno. Because English sailors who put in at the famous Italian hat port centuries ago did not pro- nounce the name properly, the city won the unsolicited title of Leghorn. And, to this day, English and Americans have perpetuated what additionally was merely a seaman's error.
 "Ecnice' Unknown in Italy
 Tn north Italy especially place name inconsistencies thrive in start ling abundance, as every traveller knows Many an American tourist has puzzled an inexperienced Italian ticket agent by asking for ticket to Venice.
 "Venice, Milan, Padua, Genoa, Florence Turin; none of these is to be found in an Italian railway schedule, or on the letterhead of q resident of any of those cities.
 ''The history of the 'Anglicization' of Florence illustrates how these spellings have wandered so far from 1 the home language.
 Romans christcned the town Florentia, meaning 'hourishing' or blooming The French converted this spelling into Florence, which England and later America, accept cd. But meanwhile the Latin of the Romans dissolved into modern Ital- ian which spells it F'irenze. The new National Geographic societys map spells it Firenze, with (I'lor- ence) below. Venice. Milan, Padua. Genoa and Turin in native dress are | Veneza, Milaro, Padova, Geneva ! and Torino.

Governor LONG
TRIED THURSDAY
Impeached on l Count,
Others Coming Up

BATON ROUGE, La, April g.
The Louisiana senate today was
perfecting arrangements to try Gov
ernor HCey P. Long on at least one
impeachment count voted Saturday
by So to 40 in the house of repre-
sentatives. The governors enemies
nope to have him impeached on IS
or more counts before long, list
ranging from attempt to hire an
assassin to murder q representative
to being drunk and disorderly at a
party.
Trial Starts Thursday.
The senate will meet in Judgment
Of Governor Long Thursday at noon.
The single count charges the ex-
ecutiye attempted to block editorial
opposition to his proposed occupa-
tional oil tax measure by threaten
ing Charles w. Manship, Baton
Rouge editor, with publication of
the fact that Manship's brother, a
world war veteran, is confined at
the State Hospital, if the editor did
not stop his opposition to the pro-
posed tax bill.
When this count was voted, repre-
sentatives friendly to the governor
compared him to "Jesus Christ
nailed tn the cross" but the general
impression throughout the state is
that Longs supporters are desert
ing him.

Y,W.L. CLEVELAND
SCHOOL CROWS
Hold Concert, Dance on
April 10th

CLEVELAND, (By MaiD-A con-
cert arranged by the Young Work
ers Communist League, District 6,
will be held Saturday, April Goth, s
p. NJ, at Association Hall, 2105 E.
21st St., for the benefit of the
Young Workers Summer Training
School.
The school will be conducted by
the League of District during
the months of July and August. This
is the third year of the Summer
training school in this district. The
previous schools have proven sue
cessful from every standpoint. Many
comrades who attended the school
are now taking leading part in the
activity of the League. The school
has served the purpose of training
young workers to take part in the
many tasks of the League.
The Young Workers School this
year is of even greater Importance.
The increasing number of young
workers in industry-the worsening
of their conditions, necessitates the
orientation of the League toward
the basic industries. The school will
spend much time in preparing the
League members for this task, CIV
ing detailed instruction on how to
work in the shops. The fight against
the war danger will be made vital
part of the program.
The six weeks of the school will
be an intensive study course of the
class struggle, and how young work
ers must participate in all the strug-
giles of the working class. In the
past years the workers organiza-
tons of the district have given ex-
cellent cooperation to the financial
success of the school. With their
help we were able to get thru the
full course of the school giving free
board to every student.
Several Workers choruses will
participate in the concert on April
goth given for this years school.
Among them are: Ukranian Singing
Society, German Singing Society,
Freiheit Gasangsferein. Other num-
bers on the program are: Mrs.
Inez Dempsey, Cleveland colored
singer, student of Professor Murray
T. Adams; Athletic stunts by the
Pioneers; A one-act play by the
Drama Club of Branch one of the
League; and speakers.
The admission is SOC. Tickets can
be obtained at 2046 E. 4th st.

Two Big Mass Meets
in West Virginia Rally
Miners for New Union

MORGANTOWN, w. Va, April
S.-The National Miners Union
launched its organization drive in
notorious West Virginia few days
ago with the holding of two large
mass meetings. The first was in
Star City and was attended by two
hundred miners. The second was
held in the city of Rivesville and
more than 500 miners attended.
Speakers at both meetings were E.
P. Cush, secretary of the Pennsyl-
vania Labor Party; Chas. S. Close,
N. M. U. Executive Board member
of West Virginia; Louis Sass, N. M.
U. Hungarian organizer. Many
miners joined the National Miners
Union at both meetings.
The miners of West Virginia, be-
trayed after a long struggle by the
notorious Lewis machine, are not de-
pressed but are swinging into the
National Miners Union. The West
Virginia National Miners Union is
at present busy arranging for a
series of demonstrations in the open
shop towns of this region.
The coal companies are cutting
wages thruout the state. Conditions
are becoming worse and worse. Con-
ditions secured by the miners after
many generations of struggle are
being taken away from them. The
miners will realize that it is only
the National Miners Union which
will fight their battles.
