BY REX COLLIER.

A Utopian picture of conditions in
the Army and Navy that would re-
suit from overthrow of the present
American Government and establish.
ment of a Soviet regime is pictured
by Communists in oral and printed
propaganda disseminated among the
armed forces.
No more saluting of officers while
off duty. no more shining the cap
tain's boots. no more pay cuts, 10
more bad chow, no more long watches
on guard duty-nothing but life of
thrilling camaraderie and pleasure #
American soldiers and sailors throw
off the yoke of capitalistic oppres-
sion," asserts the Soldiers and Sail
ors' Voices, published by the Reds.
Officers Drawn From Ranks.
"There is a direct, unimpeded path
from private to general in the Red
army, according to an Illuminating
article in the Shipmates' Voice. THE
entire commanding staff of the Red
army, the Red navy and the Red air
force is drawn from the ranks of the
workers and peasants"
Discipline in the Red army is SELF
imposed" it is pointed out.
"On duty the Red army soldier
Salutes his commander and obeys his
order unquestioningly," the Voice
states. "Off duty there is no salute
and private and commander mingle
as freely as any other two citizens Of
o free Soviet republic.
Such thing as an officers bat
man is unknown. The SevereSt pun
ishment is meted out to any COM
mander who uses his position to get
the private to perform personal serv-
ices. A cavalry officer has private
whose duty it is to groom and look
after his horse, but that is all.
Punishment for Boot Cleaning.
IF private cleans a commanders
boots for him, the latter Is brought
before disciplinary court. Dis
ciplinary courts exist to which a SOL
Red Army man whom he accuses Of
an abuse of power, and on these
courts the private soldier Is fully rep
resented. The privates who sit on
these tribunals are elected at full gen.
eral meetings of the men.
1T is interesting to hear the oath
Of allegiance taken by the soldier and
sailor of the Red Army and Navy.
The Red Navy sailor swears to pro-
tect the welfare of the working peo-
pie from destruction and robbery 3"
The paper says that while the
United States Army and Navy were
receiving pay cuts of Is per cent, the
Red Army and Navy was getting an
increase of more than 10 per cent.
Besides, it goes on, "they get the best
Of rations without any cost to them.
they have no expenses like laundry,
cleaning, pressing and other items;
their dependents are taken care Of
while they are in service; they get
free tickets to theaterS and movies
and they are really supplied with
every possible means of education and
vocational training"
Picture Of Comradeship.
To illustrate the ideal conditions in
the Russian Army, there is a photo
graph captioned Something you don't
see in the U. S. Army" It shows
three Red privates and an officer hav-
ing a swell time together in the bar
racks to the tune of a mandolin.
The Red Army officer and private
1t is explained, come from the same
class" and are pals and friends. l"
They belong to the same clubs and
have the same social and political
rights, the paper says.

each State, to be elected by the Young
Republican organization of each State.
It stressed the necessity of building
its organization from each precinct
up, promised to support majority opin-
ion upon organization detectives in
order to present united front, rec
commended the adoption of a suitable
national slogan and suggested estab-
lishment Of central Office, publicity
bureau and regional organizations.
It favored the adoption of the words
Liberal Republicans" as the all-in-
elusive group for all ages, and said
that Immediately after the close of the
1886 Republican National Convention
the Young Republican National Com
mittee would meet to adopt a con-
stitution and elect officers.
Two From Each State.
The young Republicans, Lusby said,
would eliminate national committee
men and committeewomen such as
both major parties have at present,
and would have its National Commit
tee composed Of only a chairman and
co-chairman, man and a woman,
from each State.
They have divided the country into
regions Of three States each under
regional directors for organization.
Lusby said, and have set regional sub
scription quotas to provide national
working fund, that for Illinois, In
diana and Wisconsin being $3.50.
The organization, Lusby said, will
solidly back its candidates for national
delegates, of which two are elected
from each congressional distict. Under
the Republican system two more dele
gates are allowed from each district
where the Republicans are in power,
the latter two delegates to be named
by the two elected.
Consequently, Lusby pointed out. the
young Republicans will make inten-
sive efforts to elect delegates in order
to wrest control next year from the
selfish, greedy little groups" now
dominating the G. o. p. and cure the
party "of its malady" from within.

YALE TO CURTA|L
POLITICAL SERVICE
President Angel Tells Alum
nj Detrimental Effects
of Controversies.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, February
23.-The Federal Government may
have to turn to sources other than
Yale in the future for its brain trust
erS.
President James Rowland Angel
told graduates at the alumni day
exercises yesterday that Yale must
certainly curtail appreciably in the
future the amount OF (politicaD serv-
ice in which members of its faculty
may at any one time engage"
1.-THE university will always wish to
be as generous as possible in con-
tributing to the public welfare
through the service of its members, "
the university head said, "but when
the number OF such appointments be-
gins to mount fairness to stu
dents requires that the university
call halt, despite its genuine desire
to serve the public interest"
THE situation has at times reached
proportions which have not been free
Of embarrassment" President Angel
asserted.
Controversies Detrimental.
The speaker pointed out that con-
troversies resulting in the political
fields to which Yale men may be
drawn would reflect seriously on the
university.
The president turned from politics
to athletics, assailing mercenary tao
tics in college sports.
Some of the more prominent Yale
brain trusters include Prof. Walton
H. Hamilton, member of the Ma
tional Industrial Recovery Board;
Prof. James Harvey Rogers. a none
tary adviser to the United States
Treasury; Profs. Wesley A. Sturges
and Thurman w. Arnold, sugar ad-
visers under the A. A. A. and Prof
William o. Douglas, director of re-
search in the Security Exchange.
I'VE have in the last few months, y
President Angel said. been treated
to an unblushing defense of prose
lyting and Of hiring athletes for COL
lege sports, which surpasses anything
we have previously known"

IN LEAGUE TALKS.
Consulting Engineer Tells
Utilities Farley 10000
May Lose Jobs.

The decision handed down by Fed
eral Judge w. 7. Grubb of Birming-
ham, Ala, which held that the Ten
nessee Valley Authority could not
legally sell surplus electric energy and
that four Alabama towns could not
borrow money from the Public Works
Administration, was characterized to-
day as ridiculous" by speakers at the
Public Ownership League, which is
holding its ninth biennial conference
In the Willard Hotel.
r. e. Mcdonnell, consulting engi-
neer of Kansas City, who is the engi-
neer for the Knoxville, Tenn, project,
said the decision would stop all work
and that 10000 persons in the Ten
nessee Valley will be thrown out of
work and forced to seek Federal re-
lief. He said steps already have been
taken to appeal the case.
This is the most peculiar decision
that 7 ever have heard Of" said Nc
Donnen. 1.-THE Tennessee Valley Au-
thority is at present furnishing cur
rent to seven towns in Alabama and
now this judge comes along and
forbids the sale to four towns"
Housing Plan Explained.
Benjamin c. Marsh, executive secre-
tary for the Peoples Lobby, who pre-
coded Mcdonnell, told the delegates
the administrations housing subsidy
program has been worth $4,000 .000,-
900 to land spectators.
Prof. r. M. Hunter, secretary of
the College of Law of Ohio State Uni
versity, described progress made in
public ownership of utilities, including
oil and gas, milk, coal and medical
services, in Ohio. He said Ohio now
has 119 municipality owned plants and
that they serve 95 per cent of the
people in respective localities. The
Public Ownership League of Ohio re-
Gently opened filling stations for oil
and gas and has established milk and
coal co-operatives, he said
Prof. Hunter said a movement is on
foot to organize a medical service
group which will give co-operatives
complete medical attention for So a
month.
To Discuss Rates Here.
The conference expected to take up
q discussion of utility rates in Wash
ington, which, it is claimed, are too
high.
Bishop Francis J. Mcconnell, presi-
dent of the Federal Council OF
Churches of Christ in America, last
night delivered lecture on the pos
sibilities of public ownership in social
reconstruction. The Boulder Dam
project was discussed by T. A. Painter

& Light.

Wyoming. defended the Governments
power policies at last nights meeting.
and H. E. Allen, superintendent of

MESSIAH FOR 1886
URGED BY THOMAS.
Labor-Farmer Coalition Is
Held Need to Overcome
A. A. A. Injury, He Says.

The rising of new Messiah, to be
chosen through a coalition OF the
American Federation of Labor and
farmers. before the 1886 presidential
election, is the expectation and hope
of Norman Thomas, former Socialist
candidate for President.
Thomas, who was in Washington
last night to make speech at Almas
Temple, blamed the Agricultural Ad-
juStment Administration for forcing
75-cent-per- day wage on farm labor
ers for 13-hour day and with driv-
ing tenant and share farmers off their
lands and forcing them to live in
novels" He said he came to Wash
ington primarily to see Senator Co.'S
tigan of Colorado in an attempt to
force Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
to make public recent report on the
cotton growing situation in Arkansas.
This report, he said, was made by Mrs.
Mary Conner Myer.
Report Kept Secret.
This report. kept secret by Wallace,
means the difference between life and
death to many people in the cotton
growing sections of the country"
Thomas said. ANY one who has not
seen the conditions in several States
of the South can not understand the
deplorable conditions under which
these people have to live, and all
brought on by the 40-per cent reduc-
ton program of the A. A. A."
Thomas said he is planning tour
through several States to inform the
people of conditions brought about by
the New Deal. He said that unless
something is done to relieve the situ-
alton in some of the States there is
danger of bloodshed. He said these
tenant and share choppers are given
only so or go days work a year and
that they receive only rs cents day
for 13 hours work
Asked about his plans for the 1896
political campaign, Thomas said it is
too early to make plans. He indi-
Gated, however, that he expected an
active part by his criticism of the
New Deal. He said the New Deal had
failed, as it must fail with its CAPT.
talistic policies.
Opposes Longs Scheme.
Thomas is strongly opposed to Sem
ator Huey P. Longs "share-the
wealth" scheme. He said such plan
must fail since it would be impossible
under the laws of economics.
"To give every man $1,000 is an
impossibility, but to give every man
a living wage is not impossible" he
said.
II expect coalition of the farm
ers and the Federation of Labor be-
fore the next presidential election.
They will select their own Messiah to
lead them back to prosperity
and this Messiah will not be Huey
Long if I have anything to do with
it," he asserted.

FLANOIN WINS POINT
FOR EASIER CREDIT
Bank of France Agrees to Dis
count Government Securities.
Treasury Data Exacted.

SLAYER Of GIRLS
IS GIVEN DEATH
Mountain Jury Convicts Col.
ored Man of Numbering
Clifton Forge Sisters.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
FINCASTLE, Va, January 5.-A
mountain jury in this ancient Vir-
ginia county today told Philip Jones,
colored, that he must die in the cleo
trio chair for the murder of two little
girls near Clifton Forge and an at
tempt to ravish one of them.
1t took the jury SIS minutes to de-
eide the case after Jones counsel had
completed his arguments for mercy
on the grounds of insanity.
Judge Benjamin T. Haden fixed
March II as the execution date.
Jones took the verdict, delivered by
silver-haired Jury Foreman Noff-
singer, without blinking an eye. He
was seated, unable to stand, because
of a shot gun wound in his leg which
he received on the night of the crime,
November 18. State officers were
placed around the prisoner at the or
der of Judge Haden, who feared he
might attempt to do himself bodily
harm.
State troopers guarded all doors and
gates. They had been sent here as a
result of the mob violence threats
which caused the change Of venue
from Covington, the Allegheny County
seat. There was only small crowd
to witness the condemned mans exit.
The verdict was the jury's answer
to the defense plea for mercy. The
jurymen had been told by Defense
Counsel T. Warren Messick that "elec-
trocution is what the mob would have
you do" The lawyer asked mercy If
the jurymen thought Jones guilty and
commitment to an asylum if they be-
lieved him insane.

Copyright. 1885, by the Associated Press,
SAARBRUECKEN, Saar Basin Ter
ritory. January 5.---A possibility that
the Saar plebiscite may be postponed
several months was seriously discussed
in official quarters tonight as rival
Nazi and anti-NaA factions prepared
for mammoth open-air demonstra-
tions tomorrow.
Permission was given the two
groups to hold the mass meetings in
Saarbruecken the same day.
If the gatherings cannot be held
peaceably the final Sunday before the
balloting. it would be dangerous to
attempt to carry out the plebiscite
one week later. officials SAID thev
believed.
Troops in Barracks.
The task of preserving order during
the test of the Saar discipline will be
left to police, troops of the leagues
international army being kept in
barracks.
Nazis from all parts of the terri
tory, swarming into Saarbruecken
aboard 80 special trains, will gather
in the morning on a hill south of
the Saar River. while those advocat-
ing retention of League of Nations
government will march during the
afternoon to an athletic field north
of the river.
Between the contending factions
will be not only the river, but police
barracks and railroad tracks. To the
east are the barracks of the British
regiment of the League army, and near
the Nazis' meeting place the newly
arrived detachments of British ar
mored cars and the battalion of crack
Netherlands marines are quartered.
TO the west, across town, are the
Italian tanks.
Machine Guns Withdrawn,
International military officials were
careful to keep bayonets and machine
guns off the streets tonight, and
Saarbruecken had much the appear
ance of any normally policed city.
In the first trouble since New Year
disorders, several men distributing
pamphlets in Steinback, small town
near the German border, were beaten
up last night, and several shops set
on fire. No one was injured.
Expulsion of Prince Hubertus Zu
Lowenstein, German exile and violent
anti-Nazi, was rescinded today when
the prince. who has been publishing
weekly newspaper favoring the status
quo. promised to refrain from future
political activity.
