Writing of the wild Was. Mr. Hen derson says, "The Was are especially keen on hunting heads during February. March, and April Just before the planting season. From the Wa angle of looking at It. the business Isn't the madness we take it to be. It Is a convention and quite as rea sonable as afternoon tea. Every decently religious Wa knows that unless the seed grain is properly charmed and conjured with a human head the crop raised from it will be a failure. And who wants to starve? In fact, if worst comes to worst, and there are no heads forth coming from raids on neighbors, the Was prefer to take the head of some feeble person In the village rathe than run the risk of scant crops and consequent empty stomachs. 'In February. March and April then, the wild Wa men go a-hunt-Ing. Of course, any head that of fers itself to be collected is regarded as fair game, and It behooves the man working alone, cutting Jungle or the woman hoeing alone in the field to be cautious when the Was are afoot. A common artifice Is to barricade some Jungle highway and lie in ambush, some Just behind the barricade, some on either 'side, to rush down on the flanks of any party c-iught In the trap.

"This song, strangely enough, be seeches the aid of the spirit of the head, and addresses it as a mighty ruler. , It U this spirit which is to promote the growth of the crops, and it must be treated with great reverence. I heard this song once. "After the head haa been washed and walled over, a raw egg Is put into the dead mouth, to feed the Plrlt. Then the head la thrust un pn a pole. A basket of seed paddy (rice) is put under It and left for a few days. As the head decays, the droppings fall into the seed paddy, and are thoroughly mixed with It. The paddy is then ready to plant, and a good crop Is Insured." Peruvian Senate Hears Keport. LIMA. Peru. Aug. 12.

Underground methods by which the red Internationale at .Moscow, the central figures of which also are in control of the soviet government of Russia, have been endeavoring to organize workers " of the United States in the interest of the spread of communism, and undermining the economic and industrial systems of this country, are disclosed in numer ous Russian communist documents recently brought to the attention of officials in Washington. Many of these documents disclose duplicity of the Moscow regime which, while negotiating with for eign powers at Genoa and The Hague, has beeii secretly sending agents to this and other nations to conduct intensive campaigns for the promotion! of organized Unrest among labor unions with a view to the ultimate revolutionary over throw of both capital and govern ment. Red Agents Eater Crisis. . Red agents, it is disclosed in this country, have taaen every auvni- tage of the present industrial mia in the United States in an effort to paralyze two industries, without thij. normal operation or which ine coun try would soon ba prostrate the mining of coal and the operation of rail transportation. uniciais, ii di-iard. are convinced that red agents have been- secretly sent to this country from Moscow io i" the doctrines of the third interna tinnale and the red labor interna tionale among American coal miners and railway, workers, and to em barrass the established order of gov ernment Industry and finance. rnmmimln hand bills nave Deen rtiafrirmterf to American soldiers urging them not to fire on strikers if called out for strike duty. All this work, officials declare, is Deing car ried on in conformity with the "Theses on Tactics," and other reso iMiinTia nr orders, given by leaders of the red Internationale, cmej. among which are Zinoviev, Bu charin, Lenin, Trotzky and Radek. One Emissary Caught. Cina of the agents sent to this country. Joseph Kowalski. has Just been caught. He is a communisi who was deported by the United States government during the coal strike two years ago. but wno re turned secretly to the United States and has been active in tryingr to organize unrest among; the coal min ers. Kowalski came here from Moscow, where he was superinten dent of the prison in which Ameri can prisoners were held for many months, and was also chief of the foreign section of the soviet Cheka. Agents of the department of Jus tice are in the coal fields and else where checking up. on other com munist activities. Other intelligence agencies of the government have encountered their trail, and confi dential instructions have been given to the commanders of all army corps areas ti counteract handbill efforts to undermine the morale or tne American soldier. The inner communist agents In this country take their orders from ! Moscow, it Is shown in the docu ments of soviet origin now under j scrutiny here. These consist of res olutions, decrees, theses and instruc tions emanating from the executive committee of the third Internation ale that met at Moscow last summer, when plans were formed for promot ing and capitalizing just such situ ations as the existing - industrial conflict here. The documents have beau printed for circulation among communists, radicals and near-communists, and have laid down lines of conduct for communist efforts to swing labor unions, rail workers, coal- miners and shopmen into, ugly activities. against industry and gov ernment. .; The documents reaching Wash-' ington also include the decrees and decisions of the executive committe'e of the -"first world congress of revo lutionary trade and : industrial unions," a new organization called, for short, "The Red Labor Interna tionale," whose particular function is to try to organize the workers of this and other countries for com munismt " , . i The documents contain instruc tions for organization of revolution ary units in the hope of -ultimately paralyzing "American industry and transportation, just as was done in Russia. -Erfa. i' j4r The Small Grand We have com plete stocks of grand pianos from the fa mous Chickering, America's oldest and noblest piano, to the smaller and less expensive makes. .
