Teabone in 1908-and she still has it. At
first it occasioned a great deal of furtive
merriment, particularly among local

the daughters of our more prosperous
citizens returned from finishing school
in the East, they spoke exactly like Mrs
Plumduff Smythe-when they concen-
trated on it. But after settling down in
the old home town again their accent
soon went native. A few Of them still
refer to vase as "vahze," but they

Concluded from yesterday

The revolutionary struggle of the
international proletariat h S
reached a higher stage. A ire
mendous responsibility rests upon
the Communist international.
Hence at the present juncture there
must be a determined struggle
against all Right opportunist stand
points and social democratic in
fluepces in the ranks of the Com
munist Parties, a struggle against
all capitulatory and liquidatory
trends, and against the underesti-
nation Of revolutionary tasks ard
revolutionary possibilities. Precise
ly for this reason there must be a
determined struggle against the
sectarian 'left-wing' theories
especially in questions Of trade
union tactics. which hinder the
struggle for the conquest of the
majority Of the working class and
the creation Of the united front
from below with the social demo-
cratic and reformist workers for the
revolutionary struggle. Precisely
for this reason the timely procla-
nation Of revolutionary slogans is
of decisive Importance, and pre-
cisely for this reason 1t is i'm
portant to avoid all bureaucracy
and commanding, in order that a
firm Bolshevist leadership Of the
masses may be created.
The outposts Of the international
Communist movement in the capt.
talist countries are held by the
Communist Parties of Germany,
Poland, China and Japan. These
bear the greatest responsibility of
the fate of the revolutionary world
movement and need the greatest
support from the international pro-
letariat. They stand in the line of
fire Of the struggle against the anti
Soviet intervention.

The Amsterdam Congress deci-
oed to set up permanent world

The Committee consists of repre-
sentatives of all countries and re-
personalities of groups and organ
izations which actively take part
in the fight against imperialist

The tasks of the World Commit
tee for the fight against the i'm
perialist war are as follows:
I. Broadcast popularization of
the Manifesto and of the results
of the Congress.
2. Organization Of cons tant
mutual information on the war
preparations and the concrete
counter actions against these pre-
parations and against irnperialist
war.
8. Systematic and timely ex-
posure and combating of chauvin-
ist and nationalist Indictment and
calumnies in the newspapers and
in public against the anti-war
movement and the Soviet Union.
as well as against all attempts to
split the united anti-war front.
WIDE UNITED
ANTI-WAR FRONT
4. Collaboration in the rallying
OF all forces of the toiling masses
and all fighters against imperial
ist war, no matter to what party

countries which had no represent
atives at the Congress or whose
representatives were prevented from
attending the Congress, and also
assist the campaign against inn
perialist war in these countries.
6. Collaboration In the organI-
zation and carrying out of anti
war meetings and demonstrations
on a national scale and in the con-
Solidation and extension OF anti
war committees which already exist
In the various countries.
z. The Committee, In particular
It's members who are organized in
the trade unions, must devote the
greatest attention to the initiating
Of broad anti-war work in the
trade unions Of the workers and
employees as the most important
mass organizations.
8. In the event of a further in
classification of the danger Of war
the Committee shall seize the in
itiative, in agreement with the an
t-war committees Of the various

characters with the brush of a poet

than the beat of her lovers heart

are other character studies which
hold ones attention closely - as
does the whole play through its
original method of attack. If it
be slow. if it lack humor, If its
ending dies unWillingly, it has
nevertheless a broad sweep of per-
manency throughout and its sub
ject has been treated with great
reverence and warm feeling Of
our 1848 Americana. We venture
to suggest, too, that no more i'm
preSsive or stirring moment in the
theater has been expressed than
the one at the end of the second
act. when all the players are on
their knees reciting the Lords
Prayer. This is, beyond doubt, the
most eloquent scene in the play.
AS the curtain rises, the setting "a
truly magnificent one) reveals
spot" of land in the Snake Indian
County where a small band of our
ancestor voyagers are resting on
their way to the golden coast of
their dreams-Oregon. These dozen
or more tranScontinental pioneers
are knee deep in their household"
troubles, as we'll as their traVelingS,
through the inevitable presence of
feroism and birth and death, which
followed all those hardy adventures.
They are frightened, too, at the in
sistent beat of the Indian drum,
which wakens them in the morning
and lulls them to sleep at night, and
they discover eventually that in
order to make their way success
fully to the desired objective, Oregon,
with its thousand lakes and green
grass, they will have to give up "the
white squaw" as tribute to the
Indians.
This is the barest suggestion Of
what takes place behind the scenes
which have been so handsomely
mounted and so effectively per-
formed. Other than Miss Lord, who
treats her subject as best she can,
and with that curious suggestion of
eerineSs which so often touches
genuine pathos, there is Beulah
Bondi Qate of "Street Scene'O in
a vivid Characterization as a prairie
wife, and similar skillful portrayals
given by Mary Michael, Mabel Col
cord and Eda Heinemann. Others
in the cast (and every member of it
deserves mention) include Edward
