The Exeter Advocate, 1920-8-19, Page 7FLOOD • CANADA WITH SOVIET TALK Thousands of Reds Coming to Spread Their Propaganda, A despatch from Copenhagen says: -Bolshevik: Russia is preparing to flood lthe.United States . and Canada with thousands of secret emissaries, who will spread the Soviet propa- ganda. Arrangements have been com- pleted by "Comrade" Sehkoviski, 'An- ises chief foreign propagandist, for the "peaceful penetration" of Am- erica. "A large percentage of the Russians returned from the United States and Canada to fight for Russia against Germany talk English. Those from the United States have quite an Am- eican twang, thilse from Canada have an English accent," Sehkoviski told the correspondent just before he was removed, protestingly, from Denmark, and ordered never to return. "These men are now being given courses in spell -binding and other useful arts, preparatory to raturning to their adopted countries, where they will char pion a Soviet 'Government. Pass- port regulations will not keep' ;them out. We have tested this already through the forerunners of our armies of talkers in the United States and Canada." Sehkoviski's expulsion from. Den- mark was due directly to the discov- ery that he was behind the recent -Bailors' and longshoremen's strike, which paralyzed the Danish ports for months, "We are out to overthrow the present system of capitalistic govern- ment everywhere!' He boasted having enough soldier support in Scandinavia to make pos- sible a general strike, and claimed that Esthonia was pradtieally soldidly Soviet. 2• --- BLACKEST OF ALL WINTERS FOR 'POLAND Devastated Country Obliged to Supply Red Armies. A despatch from Berlin says: -No matter what the outcome of the nego- tiations at Minsk, the proposed confer- ence in London or elsewhere, Poland is at the very start of the blackest of all Winters that she has experienced since the beginning of the World War. Famine and pestilence promise to be the heritage of her attack on Rus- sia. Poland was fed very largely by the United States last Winter. Now the Red forces that are sweeping over the country have advanced so rapidly that they have not been kept in sup- plies by the railroad lines. As a con- sequence the men and the horses are living off the land over which they .advance. Poland promises to be swept absolutely bare, Four times in the last five years 'huge armies have swept -across the land. Horrified by what has happened to their land and with their hopes crush- ed, thousands of Poles are unwilling to face the Winter. They want to emi- grate to America. First Oil -Burner to St. Lawrence Port A despatch from Montreal says: - The steamer Empress of France, now being reconditioned and fitted upwith oil burners, will make her first trip from Liverpool on Sept. 1. She will be the first oil -burning liner to come up the St. Lawrence. Her first east- bound trip will be from Quebec on Sept. 15. 900 Towns and Cities To Get Captured. Guns A despatch from Montreal. says: - Nine hundred towns and cities throughout the Dominion of Canada are 1'o have presented to them guns captured by the Canadians from the Germans during the Great War. Ten of them have been given to Montreal and placed in various parts of the, city. A small trench mortar has been placed before Mayor Martin's resi- dence. "Not as a gift," said the Do- minion archivist, "but to commemor- ate ate thevisit of the Prince of Wales to 'his home." Cols. Bishop and Barker will again, have charge of the 1920 aeroplane flights at the Canadian National Ex- I hibition. _ ' ASSASSINS ATTACK PREMIER VENIZELOS. Shot at White Taking ta, Train a Lyon, France. A c1eseiet.da from Paris says: - Premier Vesiizelos, of Greece, was at- tacked end wounded on Thursday as he was leaving the Lyons railr€d sta- tion for Nice. As. the Premier step- ped onto a . train two men fired re- volvers at him. He was wounded slightly. His assailants were arrest- ed. Eight shots were fired at the Greek. Premier. The ,shooting occurred at 9.45 p.m. Premier Venizelas was taking leave of friends, when two swarthy indi- viduate rushed from the crowd, one firing three shots and the other five before they were overpowered. The Premier was reported wounded .in the right side and the left arm. His assailants, following their ar- rest, were rescued by the police from the crowds with great difficulty, the snob shouting, "Lynch him!" Both of, the men were severely manhandled. Canada's Prospects Are Bright: There is one particularly strong reason why there should be a great deal of confidence on the part of Canadians in the outlook for this country. While Canada, along with the rest of the world, is undergoing . a period of trying conditions, the DOM - inion has good reason to face the sit- uation with a great deal of hope and courage. The principal reason for this is that Canadais on the eve of reaping one of the largest crops in the historyof the 'county. . While. y there is a chance of something still' happening, whichwill reduce the total' yield, still it is felt that the danger point has been passed and estimates now indicate a yield in the three West- ern provinces of from 250 million to 300 million bushels of wheat. While the wheat market is showings some fluctuations, there are indica- tons of a very good price for the pro- duction. What is especially advan- tageous is the fact that this is newly created wealth, and as fully two-thirds of the crop will be sold outside of the country, it will mean that millions of dollars of additional money will be brought •into Canada. Seeking Fresh Adventures Col. Ray Collishaw, the famous Cana- dian airman, who is again in search of adventure. He has left Canada for England, where he will receive a com- mission for service in Poland. Col. Collishaw is the nicst noted airman in service to -day. Soviet . Representatives Have Arrived in Berlin A •despatch from Paris says: Bolsheviki plenipotentiaries have ar- rived at Berlin to resume diplomatic relations between Russia and Ger- many, it is reported in "a despatch re- ceived here from the German capital. The message adds that another mis- sion has reached Vienna from Russia with a view to renewing relations with `Austria: Next War to be Fought In Air and Under Sea A despatch from Paris, says: - The next war will be fought in the air and under the sea, Marshal Foch told the Naval Cadets in an address on Thursday.

Trafalgar Squwre. Mennonites to Emigrate to the South A despatch from Winnipeg says: - Orthodox Mennonites of Southern Manitoba are making final prepara- tions for their exodus to Mississippi. According to travellers, who say they have been through the old colony districts of Morden -Rhineland consti- tuency; many conferences have been held by the elders of the Orthodox Church, and it has been decided by a considerable- body of settlers to dis- pose of their Manitoba holdings as soon as the present crop is gathered. How many Mennonites will go south is unknown, even to members of the church, it is said. A split has occur- red in the ranks of the old colony set- tlers, many of the younger element having refused to leave Canada. The first of the emigrants will leave for the south in Odteber.

Montreal -.The most important pur- chase made by English interests of Canadian pulp holdings has now been closed as the result ..f Northcliffe interests of London, England, having purchased a two -third interest in the Gulf Pulp and Pops Company, at Clark City, below Qnebee. This is the company owned by mead -ore of the Clark family. Following their purchase, the Northcliffe interests have formed the imperial Paper Mills, Limited. The remain:,.g one-third of the interest in the company is being purehased by other Legion people who are interested in the purchase' of paper. The price, it is underatood, was 33,000,000. Regina -Over 300,000 pounds of western wool has Leen sold to a Can. adian manufacturer by. the Canadian. Co-operative Wool Growers Assaeia- tion at a price ranging from 45 to 55 cents per pound. Up to date over 5440;000 pounds of wool have been re- ceived at the Regina warehouse, while the total for the whole of last season was only 556,000 pounds. It is esti- mated that 700.000 pounds of wool will. be handled at the local warehouse this year. Freda icier---Previreial Horticul- turist A, C. Turney, Renounces that the. apple crop in this province this year would amount to only sixty per cent. of Iasi year's crop. This was owing to the prolonged draught in so:iie sections which caused .a heavy drop of the young apples. Regina -Cutting on the Greater Production in Alberta has already started._ The crop on 12,000 acres sown in wheat is expected to average 30 bushels to the acre. W. M. Graham, Commissioner of Indian Affairs for the three prairie provinces, is on a tour of inspection of the crop on the Greater Production farms. Vancouver ---The sockeye are just starting to run in the Fraser River and, the pack is expected, to be equal to last year's. On the Sheena :River the fish. are not running se strong as last year and amuch smaller pack is expected. in that district this year. Regular English customers have already placed large orders for sockeye and red spring salmon, subject to the pack and sales have been made to them at 321, a case unlabeled. The price of raw sockeye to the fishermen opened at 55 cents per fish and they are now being paid 75 cents on the Fraser, and some packers think it will he necessary to pay 31 per fish to induce the fishermen to increase his catch. Bigger Premiums For Live Stock Displays The enlarged classification in the livestock section at the Canadian Na. tional Exhibition this year provides for every animal of importance util- ized in Canada. The premium list for horses, cattle, sheep, swine the fur and feathered classes and pet stock together with agricultural products, the output of the dairy, orchard, etc., sets a new mark. Various breed and. other association and the Governments offer new prizes which added to those given by the Exhibition brings the sum total to a standard which ensures proportionate recognition for every. branch of improved husbandry on a scale more lavish than ever before and should attract a display by which will Abe established new records in exposi- tion and Canadian livestock and agri- cultural history.
