ALEX MORRISON says5A
In my talks with several great
men like Henry Ford and Sewell
Avery, I've noticed that on one
point they were agreed.E One of
the real regrets an honest man can
have il time wasted.
I'm Z reminded of this at this
time Of the year when ] find so
many golfers wasting time that
could be put to good use. 8 Fir
teen minutes a day devoted TO
simpl. exercises would do more
to improve their games than years
Of playing outdoors.
Yet, most players look upon IN
door practice as of httle value.
That's because they don't knoW
how 10 practice. 70 Here's one ex-
ercise that you all can do and I
guarantee that It viii improve
your swing at least so per cent.
Every morning and every night
stand erect, arms folded behind
You, head and eyes up and shift
your weight from one foot to the
other Roll your feet toward the
inside without lifting your heels.
Do this daily and well both have
reason to be grateful. =

Hitler,s "brutally frank talk''-what
he actually said is not known because

Budeny is the most magnificent
soldier of the republic. Son of a
peasant he learned the military busi-
ness as top sergeant in the Czarist
army. He was the best horseman Of
the crack Caucasian division. He has
only two passions in life-the army
and the horses. and still insists on
the 15-pace snappy salute-like in
the Cars day-from the subordi-
mates. Recently he was in Moscow on
the occasion of one of those innumer-
able parades of the Red army. Next
to him was one of the former Czarist
generals who have accepted service
in the army Of the republic. Budeny
was happy, bubbling over himself at
the splendid show given by the
proletarian soldiers. Your Excel
lency-the old trooper still calls his
former chiefs excellency-dost thou

the Soviet army. He owes the job a.
minister of war and generaliSsimo Of
the Soviet forces to his close friend
ship with Stain. He hates Jews in
general and Trotsky in particular. He
is an ardent communist as far as Rus
sia is concerned but does not care a
hoot for the brethren proletarians in
Mexico or in Uganda.

Germ to the chiefs of the French and

Finally. he turned towards his old
pal. Budeny and whispered: Let S
get out and have shot of vodka; my
head IS turning"
But Voroshiloff makes up for his de-
ficient military knowledge by sur
rounding himself with men who know
the war business inside out. They are
putting up with him because he is
making an honest effort to play the
soldier. He has learned to ride and
is competing in many of the regi-
mental horse shows.
He has short temper. Sometime
ago he learned through hs own men
that Chief Messing of the G. P. U.

HULL AND LUTHER
CONFER ON EUROPE
German Envoy Refuses to Tell
Details Of Talk With
Secretary.

BY the Associated Press.
European affairs were discussed yes
terday by Ambassador Hans Luther of
Germany and Secretary of State Hull
for the first time since Adolf Hitler's
announcement Of the rearmament of
Germany in defiance Of the Versailles
treaty.
Although their conference lasted
more than 80 minutes, neither Hull
nor the Ambassador would make any
statement concerning the details Of
their conversation or any comment
on the critical European situation.
The stocky German envoy waved
away newspaper mems questions, but
he did not deny that he had given
Hull summary of the German gov
ernment's attitude on the European
crisis.
1t was learned from authoritative
sources that the Ambassador had not
delivered any communication con-
corning Germany's action.

better than thine used to be. And
all that is the work of q moujick."
When In Moscow he is very much
in demand socially. No diplomatic
dinner Is considered complete without
the former top sergeant. He has
learned the one-step and the waltz
and is one of the most enthusiastic
dancers in the Soviet capital.
But he Is at his best when he has
somewhat overindulged in champagne
and vodka. Then he starts telling his
story, the story Of the Red revolution.
He warns up gradually and works
himself into frenzy, shouting COM
mands, ordering charges like on the
battlefield. He Is the superb soldier
again.
The real modern soldier of the Red
army is Gen. Hi Bluecher, commander
Of the armies in Siberia. He is con-
sidered a somewhat mysterious per-
sonality, the general belief being that
he has taken the name Of Bluecher
because it is impressive.
The truth Is that the Soviet COM
mander's name is really Bluecher. He
comes from German family from the
Baltic provinces and is a descendant
Of the famous German general who
defeated Napoleon, Prince Bluecher.
At the outbreak of the World War
he was a young officer in the Czarist
army. He belonged to a crack regi-
ment. He served honorably through
out the war and like many intelligent
Russian officers became disguised with
the lack Of organization, corruption
and inefficiency of the imperial army.
He espoused enthusiastically the revo-
lutionary ideas and Joined the ranks
Of the Communists.
The chief Of staff of the Red army
Is the white whiskered, tall and i'm
posing Gen. Kameniev, formerly q
staff colonel in the Czarist army.
The important job of military gov
ernor of Moscow is entrusted to Tux
hatchevsky, a former officer OF the
Cars Imperial Guard Tukhatchey-

mand on the Western front in case
