peated with the difference that the
war is now expected in the Far
East
The British imperiaGsts in their
stronghold in the Far East are not
only arranging a meeting OF the high
war officials, but have actually mo-
bilized the white population on a war
footing.
According to the London Daily
Herald recently ''tle authorities, for
the first time in the history of Singa-
pore since the great war, served

Singapore Ready for War
Singapore itself is ready for i'm
mediate war. Over $250,000,000 has
already been spent on this mon
ster naval base. In recent weeks
work has been rushed on all forth
fications.
The whole colony around Singapore
is an armed camp.
The British irnperialst press
frankly declares that war mobiliza-
ton in the Far East is aimed as
much against the colonial toiling
masses as against other enemies"
Simultaneous with the Japanese
preparation for war in the Far East,
the German fascist dictators are pre-
pairing for war in Europe, with their
main objective an attack on the So
Wet Union through the Baltic states,
and through Soviet Ukrainia.
The New York Times of Jan. 22
published startling report from
Geneva that the fascists are boldly
pursuing their war aims in the Saar,
Danzig and Austria, preparing for
the big push in the spring.
Won Papen and War
The previous day ex-Prime Minis
ter Won Papen, now a rabid sup
porter of the Hitler regime, made a
speech declaring: 1--WE can become
strong again only if we honor our
past"
While ostensibIy a speech hypocrit-
ically claiming Fascist Germany had
no imperialist designs, the pro-
nouncement of Won Papen was
clearly declaration Of the inten-
tons of the Fascists to win back
through war all their former colo
MES as well as new territory at the
expense of the Soviet Union.

Call Strike at FOrdham
Laundry; Refuse AFL,
Want Industrial Union

NEW YORK. The Laundry Work
ars' Industrial Union scored another
victory in its drive to organize the
gteam laundries when the Fordham
Laundry after a four-day strike con-
ceded the demands Of the strikers
for union recognition and signed up
with the union yesterday. The
strikers won increases in wages from
25 to IS per cent and hours were
shortened from IS to 40 week.
NEW YORK. -The Laundry Work
ers Industrial Union is leading an
other strike for union recognition at
the Fordham Laundry, 801 E. 18TH
St., Bronx, in its drive to organize
the steam laundrieS.
While the Industrial Union was
negotiating with Frisch, the boss of
the Fordham Laundry for union rec
ignition, increases in pay and shorter
hours last week, q picket line was
placed around the laundry by Off
Gals of A. F. of L. Local 280. 1t was
learned that deal had been made
between Frisch and the bosses to
force the A. F. Of L. upon the work
ers.
The workers, indignant at this
treachery, walked out on strike. With
the aid of police, the bosses frus-
trated a 100 per cent walk-out by
locking in the workers in the mangle
department. Many of these workers
were intimidated into signing UP
with the A. F. of L. union when the
boss and Levine, the A. F. of L. or
ganizer came to them in the shop.
The following day, however, these
workers Joined the strike and crippled
the plant completely.
Attempts to get members Of the A.
F. of L. to scab on the strikers failed
when the A. r. of L. workers re-
fused to take the strikers places.

nova, than we discovered one
on Max's light heavyweight
contemporary, Make Rosebloonl,
THE Gentleman Known as slapsie.' .
"THIS"-wriJes L. 2. of New York
"is q picture of Make Rosem-
bloom. known as Simple Make
Rosenblcom and also called Light
heavyweight Champion. Make
weighs about 173 pounds and will
no doubt be very much surprised to
find his name in the Daily Worker.
At the present date no one has ever
| called Make class conscious and he
probably thinks that Karl Marx is a
German coin. However, Make is a
very interesting character, and hence
this article.
"Slapsie got his name from his
style of boxing M. Rosenbloom hits
very rapidly, and from all angles,
with his open gloves. His arms keep
going like windmill and the other
fellow gets slapped all over the
place. These slaps are not very harm
full, but they keep the other guy off
balance and thus stop him from do
ing any damage to Mr.. Rosenbloon.
Hitting with an open glove is a
violation Of the Boxing Commissions
rules, but, like number Of their
other rules, the right guys can break
them.
make has been boxing for the
Nh past ten years, which is rather re-
markable when you consider that it
takes lot Of speed and stamina
to fight in this windmill style. Make
has both, speed and endurance. In
fact most Of his opponents claim that
the only time they see him, is be-
tween rounds.
"Slapsie can also wallop with the
best of them when the occasion
rises. In his youth he used the
'One for one system. You hit me
and I'll hit you, and the guy with
the hardest punch wins. This is a
very unccuth method and Make
soon saw the error Of his ways.
Not, however, before he had ac-
CURED a tin car and a few other
earnarlks of the trade.
Recently Make fought the IT'S
h. champion of the South. Make
surprised himself and the fans by
suddenly letting the Southern boy
have everything Make had right
on what is known as the puss. The
young man from down below the
Mason-Dixon line Immediately lost
all interest in the world at large
and that particular fight for the next
few minutes.
"Rosenhloom is very much under
rated by his colleagues. When Make
puts his mind on his work, he's a
good fighter in any company.
make is what is known as a play
4n boy. He has but three regrets.
One, that he can't make money
faster. Two, that he can't spend it
faster. Three, that he didn't become
an actor. Two of Slapsie'S passions
are dice and cars. He spends almost
all his money on these two diversions
whatever is left goes the female sex.
Make has owned many and many a
car. Big ones, small ones. new ones
and old ones. He is always buying
or selling a car. He is at present
playing in vaudeville and I suppose
this fills his heart with great Joy.
He can dance fairly we'll and ex-
cept for his tin ear. he is not entirely
unhandsome. Make has a reputa-
ton for never training and dancing

STUDENT WORK AT
STATE COLLEGE
GENERAL EDUCATIONAL DIVISION
WILL OPEN WITH BEGINNING OF
COLLEGE NEXT YEAR

MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)
The latest effort in a long series
of educational advances at Montana
State college to bring more personal
attention to every student in helping
him find the work for which is best
fitted, is the creation of a general ed
ucational division, announces DR..
Alfred Atkinson, State College pres
ident.
The general educational division has
for its goal the extending of assistance
which will make it possible for every
student to find the work for which he
is best adapted, and to keep education
in line with the change in business. r.
H. Palmer, head of the department of
agricultural education, who has made
a study of the problem and who helped
draw up the plan will direct the new
division. The State Board of Educa-
ton approved his appointment as di-
rector at the meeting held at the State
college April 9, according to DR.. Atkin-
on.
About IS percent of the students en-
tering college are unable to select the
work for which they are best fitted,
DR.. Atkinson says. Through an en-
tended personnel service in which the
student is studied from the standpoint
of his abilities, much has been done
at the State college to aid such STU
dents. The Inauguration of freshman
week several weeks ago was an effort
to give entering students an opportun-
ity to find" themselves.
Under the new plan. students will
have an opportunity to enroll in one
of the four major divisions of the COL
lege. In addition there will be several
prescribed courses to acquaint students
with the requirements in different lines
of work and to give the director an in
sight into individual interests and abil-
tiles so that each student may be help
ed in making his decisions.
The rapid growth of higher educat-
ional institutions, as indicated by the
threefold incraese in enrolment since
1920, has made the problem for the I'M
decided student that much more diff
ficult, says President Atkinson. Through
the new division the personal contact
between the faculty and student will be
increased, and each student will re-
ceive more direct assistance.
The new division will open with the
beginning of college next year. 1t will
entail no additional cost since present
faculty and facilities will be used.

two successive whirlpools, twice turned
the vessel around, and carried it with
violence against the bank S o that the
water came into the cabin, and the
deck was covered with EARTH"
Near the mouth of Milk river the
wind was so strong they could not &c
on until it abated.
Mosquitoes continued their attentions
as the boat reached the vicinity of the
bad lands, and here the titled scientist
saw thousands of grasshoppers, many
Of them of beautiful colors, hopping
and flying about"
Macmillan was collecting specimens
of animals and flowers, and could not
keep them all in the cabin. The crew,
finding their presence on the deck OBJ
jectionable, secretly threw them into
the river at night, although Mr.. Nit
chell had imposed severe penalties for
so doing.
Within a day or so of their destina-
ton, a band of eros Ventres of the
Prairie accosted them, and demanded
brandy and ammunition in exchange
for their skins and furs. The chiefs
came ON board the boat, and once on, it
was hard to get rid of them. When they
finally left, it was discovered they had
taken many articles they fancied with
them; but MI. Mitchell was too relieved
at their departure, to make any effort
to recover what was lost.
It was not until the 9th Of August,
over a month from the time they left
Fort Union, that the Flora reached the
Marias, after a safe but eventful jour-
ney.
A great deal Of interest was seen
along the way, but this article endeav-
ors to show the difficulties encounter
ed while ascending the Missouri at that
time, long before steamboats, had at
tempted to reach Fort Benton. 1t was
no light undertaking to go from Fort
Union to Fort Mckenzie by keel boat
either for passengers or crew, and it
argues well for the courage of Prince
Macmillan that he was willing to at
tempt it.
