Charleston, s. ,C.-For several
years MOonbeam. "a trick horse. and
Bill, a bearded black goat Of no par

with safety was first to drive him

SOVIET union
OBSERVES DATE
OF REBELLION
ParadeS, Festivals and
Meetings Held on
Anniversary.
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press staff Correspondent

MOSCOW, Nov. 7.-Millions of
Russians, Ukrainians, Georgians
and other citizens Of the vast Soviet
Union are taking part today in fer
vent celebrations of the twelfth an
niversary of the Bolshevik revolu-
ton. This is the first of two-day
holiday Signalling the seizure of
power by the Soviets, under Com
munist leadership, on Nov. 7, 1917.
Monster parades, meetings, sport
festivals and other expressions of
mass sentiment are cheduled in
every city, town and village of the
Union.
In the capital here, at least q
million men, women and children
are expected to join in the most
impressive parade of the year, pour
ing from all sections Of the spread
out city into its red heart. Red
Square, to be reviewed by leaders
of the government and the ruling
Communist party.
Military Show Given
The civilian parade will, as usual,
be preceded by great military
show, with armed Young Commun-
lists and Pioneers equivalent to the
Boy and Girl Scouts in other coun-
tries) in the lineup.
Perhaps the most striking aspect
of the celebration is the participa-
ton of millions of boys and girls
either born since the revolution or
too young in 1917 to remember any,
thing about life before the great
change.
To them the past of Tsarism,
landlords and millionaires is some
thing as far and unreal as the dis
covery of America. They are COM
pletely attached to the new system,
regardless of what some OF their
elders may think.
Real Strength of Regime
In this lies great deal Of the
strength of the revolutionary re-
gime, and every passing year places
new emphasis upon this support.
Moscow has looked forward for
months to this occasion for the
unwilling of the new Mausoleum
on Red Square holding the en-
baImed body Of Lenin. For the
first five years after his death,
Lenin's body rested in a simple
wooden structure. This has now
been replaced by a more elaborate
stone mausoleum.

The Osages lamented the passing

as Che-Sho-E hin-Ka, teller Of

the eminence of his 30 years to the
days when he fought with his father
against General Custer.
Across the hills in Kay county,
the Poncas cooked huge kettles OF
food for the funeral feastS celebrat-

Bear and Frank Smith. Other
tribesmen arranged the priced pos

sellor, for the traditional give

White Deer, who as warrior
fought the dreaded Sioux in Ne

sub-chiefs died recently and the
strange final rites of the red men
we're arranged to honor them jointly.
When Henry Red Eagle died last
week at his BranSdall ranch, the
grief of the Osages was boundless,
for he was one of the best beloved
and most honored patriarchs of the
tribe.
Henry Red Eagle always wore the
buckskins. feathers and beads of his
fathers and painted his face for
ceremonials. His only white friends
were doctors.
