NAVAL NEWS
The Radio Station will run a col*
umn in this paper. Let us watch the
race between the “Naval News” and
the “Barrack Notes.”
Chief Electrician Zelk is expected
Saturday with two big moose.
Every man stationed at our small
town is married, but one. This poor
lonsesome fellow has been running
around town with a drooped head and
a sad heart. Some of the pretty girls
in Seward can not take a hint even if
you make one out loud.
A poker game was on. The chips
were flying into the pot at such a rap*
id rate that one would think that Pvt.
Obelander had a good hand. The rais*
es made by Mrs. Kenner made one be*
lieve that she also was blessed with
good cards. The climax was reached
when Mrs. Kenner laid down three
queens followed by an earthquake.
Now we know the origin of the
quake.
Pvt Oberlander spent the week end
at the radio station. He is a member
of ti>e local detachment of Infantry.
Bed kept his hair shinning and
combed back fine. The lubricating oii
was being used up to much. Red was
suspected and was warned that the oil
was for lubricating purposes only, and
if he did not discontinue using it the
government would lose on that article.
TOKIO, Nov., 30— “Because it ap

anonymous letter received by Prince
FusbiakL
The letter contained threats as to
what would happen if the hoes of the

The authorities have arrested one
man on suspicion. Hie letter said that

LOST OPPORTUNITY
MOSCOW, Nov, 30— England by
breaking off negotiations1 with Leo
Kameneff, the former Russian trade
commissioner in London, ha3 lost an
opportunity to play the leading role in
world politics, says Karl Radek, radic
al leader.
“The political sceptre has fallen
from the hands of Lloyd George, fiom
the hands of England,” he asserts ir.
an article in the Isevestia.
“Trade negotiations with soviet
Rusia would have represented foi
England a victory over French ana
American imperialism over French
imperialism because French creditors
would have been obliged to allow the
gold which the French capitalists con
sider their property to pass into Eng
.isij confers, over American imperial
ism because the English government
would receive supplies and raw mater
ials not under the control of Ameri
can monopolies.
“To realize this victory it was nec
essary to establish political peace with
Soviet Russia.
. “The breaking off of diplomatic ne
gotiations means that the political ini
tiative passes into the hands of Fran
ce wmch is openly supporting Wran
gel,” Radek continued. “Simultaneous
•
ly the republican party ^ of the United
States fmd its presidential candidate,
Harding, have declared in favor of the,
recognition of Soviet Russia, demon
I
strating that American capital intends
to put England in the second place by
beginning trade relations with Russia
and cutting off England’s only non
American source of oil supply.” j
Radek concludes the article by say-%
ing that the action of the British gov
ernment was induced not so much by
the defeats of the red army as by the
victories of the communist idea in
London and Warsaw.”
“The English government has conclud
ed that we are too strong to be furth
er strengthened by official recognition
and diplomatic pourparlers and it is
too weak to tolerate in London polit
ical representatives of Soviet Russia.”
he added.
“The voice of Soviet' Russia has
been stifled in London but it will be
heard not’ only in London, but among
the millions of workers in the East”
