ES SPIRIT OF SOVIET Southern California Towns Hard Hit by Trrmblor Lightning Noted BAR Event« of Noted People, Government« was WRECKS abroad,” by INTERFERENCE according to a declaration Secretary Saturday. Hughes In respondence made public an exchange of cor with Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, Mr. Hughes renewed a statement of principles which be said was guiding American government policies with regard to Russia, while Mr. Gompers made direct reference to the recent public demands, from senators and others who have vis ited Russia, for recognition. American tradition, Mr. Hughes said, founded on a desire to refrain from Interference with internal af- lairs# of other nations, might require recognition of any government, even a government of a “ tyrannical mi nority,” when the people of the na tion concerned maintain manifested acquiescence or submission of it. Nevertheless, recognition being "an invitation of intercourse,” the gov ernment seeking recognition should evince a disposition to “ live up to the obligations of intercourse,” he declared, denying in detail assertions that the Russian government was so doing. Mr. Gompers, remarking on “ mis information gathered by retiring travelers during closely supervised tours" In Russia, suggested in a let ter to the secretary of state that some purpose might be served If “ those standing for the American concept of right and justice and democracy” should be given clearly to understand that the backbone of the whole situation regarding Rus sia Is the denial to the people of Russia of any opportunity to pass judgment on their own affairs, or to say by whom or in what manner they should be governed. The state department's position, he «aid, had been understood by him to be that of “ energetic opposition to a tyrannical minority imposing themselves on a reluctant people." Expessing the opinion of wage earn er*. he said he “ thought that the United States might, under any cir cumstances. extend official recogni tion to such a villainous despotism is repugnant."

She fashioned each dainty garment With love that was strong and deep; In the gown she had sensed the rap ture Of seeing her darling sleep; Had glimpsed him In every wee thing. And held him against her breast. The soft pink form so sweet and warm. That lovingly she caressed. But he was a fragile blossom That needed the higher air, One almost fancied a halo Lay soft on his silky hair; He could not wait for the dresses— God called, and he bad to heed.
