those organizations there Is al

not blame them too much.

you do to them they will still stay
by YOU and be your friend.

ITALIAN TANKS STOPPED

On the northern front the
Italians yesterday attempted an
attack with the aid of tanks but
this was broken up by Greek anti
tank guns.
In another skirmish on the GEN.
trail sector yesterday, a squadron
of Greek cavalry charged and dis
persed two companies of Italian
infantry.
Earlier, on the far northeastern
front, beyond Pogradec, an aerial
bombardment of the key Fascist
base of Elbasan caused further
destruction of Fascist supplies and
communication lines.

Dear Mr.. Hearst:
Your column and also your
newspapers are doing such an ex-
cellent job In exposing Communist
activities in the United States that
i thought you would be interested
in learning more about what has
happened to our public schools In
this respect. So am sending you
under separate cover a brochure
which tells In part q very sad
story.
For some three hundred years
our public schools have been q
bulwark of freedom. Their teach
ers and their courses have truly
reflected the faith of our people
in their great American heritage.
But within the last fifteen years,
the disciples OF Karl Marx In edu-
cation have practically captured
our schools in thousands OF COM
munlties. The manner In which
this was done Is so clever and
subtle that 1 am sure IL will In
trigue one with your gift for in
clsive thinking. 1t is most
alarming condition and / cannot
imagine greater service you
could do for the American people
than to call their attention in your
own forceful manner.
Yours sincerely,
A. G. RUDD.

ATHENS. Jan. A. Inflicting
heavy losses on their foe. Greek
warriors today flung back re-
peated Italian counter attacks
along the Klisura sector of the
central Albanian battle front.
Latest reports TO Athens from
the war zone told of fierce Fascist
counter-charges. launched in a
desperate effort TO regain i'm
portant positions previously lost
TO the Greeks.
But these assaults were re-
pulsed one by one. military dis
patches stated. and the Italians
finally were forced TO call halt

He made the disclosures soon
after his committee charged that

driving to disrupt the aircraft in

In submitting its final report
the House m m I e e recon-
mended new laws to stamp out
all subversive alien forces in this
country, and asked that Congress
extend its tenure for two years
in order TO carry on its program
of exposing these movements.
Drawing upon its records run

and Russia are making a ire

"A an the News"
Dear Sir:
Re: December 3, 1910, article on
the battle OF New Orleans
In your highly interesting and
dramatic presentation Of the bat
tie OF New Orleans. you began by
saying II was fought after the
War of 1872. This Is view taken
by historians for the past hundred
years, but they are in error and
you are. 1t Is true IL was fought
two weeks after the treaty was
signed at Client, but the Treaty of
Client did not end the war. Its
first sentence reads "All hostilities
by sea and land shall cease as
soon as this treaty shall be ratified
by both parties, as hereinafter
mentioned" The treaty was not
ratified by the United States until
February 18th, or forty days after
the battle.
Please confirm this In any H.
brary. The treaty is called the
Treaty of Amity."
Very truly yours,
REAU Z. FOLK.
