RIFFIANS HALT FRENCH ATTACK, PETAIN STUMPED Counter Assaults, Bad Roads, Stop Invaders (Special to The Daily Worker) PARIS, France, Sept 15. — The drive of the French troops has been halted by counter attacks launched by ti Moroccans, and after only two days of local advances, the Europ- eans, sent to Africa by the order of the French bankers, are faced with great difficulties. , The French troops are forced to repair roads in their rear, and the country just ahead of them has no roads, but borrow paths. New roads would have to be built, even if the French were able to advance further. In addition, the imperialist army is unable to cross the boundary into Spanish Morocco, owing to objections’ by England and Italy. Marshal Petain faces two alter- nates. He must either change his tactics at this late hour and instead of relying on heavy artillery, must use light troops, or must spend the time building roads. If he does the latter, he wll be caught by the winter weather, and the rainy season, which comes in during October. The Riffians are violently counter- attacking around Issoula, in the Bi- -bane sector, and on thé heights of Bab Hocino. The French and Spanish imperial- ists have between two and three hun- dted thousand troops at their dispos- al in Northern Africa, while the Riffi- ian natives have but little over 50,000. Students Pledge Co-operation. MOSCOW, Sept. 15.—(Tass.)—The Students’ Committee of the Institute of Modern Oriental Languages, Len- imgrad, has received a letter from the Students’ Union of the National Pekin University in reply to. the good wishes of success from the Russian students. The Pekin students express their Bratitnde to the Leningrad Institute and set forth in detail, in their letter, how they propose to struggle against imperialistic oppression. 1905 Rebels Plan Reunion Celebration at 20th Anniversary A celebration in memory of the 20th anniversary of the Russian revolution of 1905 is being planned in Chicago by old rebels of the 1905 revolution. The revolution of that year awaken- ed the masses, it shook the throne of the czar, but it was not strong enuf to overthrow czarism and capitalism. As a result of that, a terrible mass- acre broke out, killing thousands of workers. Many were exiled to Si- beria; some were more fortunate and fled. to other countries. A conference of the old rebels who are living in Chicago is being called to organize a monster celebration for the occasion. Old rebels are request- ed to send their names and addresses to the Chicago office of the Novy Mir, 1113 W, Washington Blvd., Chicago, Illinois. |ZANKOV REGIME TOTTERS IN; TE OF CONTINUED MURDER OF ORKERS SOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 15—The bloody hangman or fie fascist govern- ment of “Professor” Zankov and his clique of generals, capitalists and ad- venturers does not stop its bloody campaign for the annihilation of the best workers, peasants and intellectuals in Bulgaria. The more intolerable the situation of the working masses of Bulgaria gets, the. more the situation of the hanmen’s government, despite its mass murders and imprisonments, gets criticél and gradually rouses the opposition of all classes of the popula- tion, the more desperate and brutal do the bloodhounds of the Zankov gov- ernment defend themselves, Only their methods have recently changed. In the place of attempts and murders in the streets they have proceeded to murder legally, to pass wholesale death sentences and undertake wholesale executions. + This does not mean, however, that the attempts and illegal murders no longer take place.. We mention only the following of the recent murders: Murdered For, Poem. The well-known poet George Mileff, who hade been sentenced,to one year prison on account ofa poem, was murdered in the most; brutal fashion. Immediately afterwards. the, lawyers Wassil and Spas Muletaroff. from Sofia as well as the former.member of the municipal council 1.5. Keen and the metal worker Micola Mileff were murdered by ..“unknown per- sons.” Near the village Guchanzy, district Verkov, the lawyer Zanfyr Popov and the agricultural worker Todor Blagov were murdered in the woods. Assen Alexieff who had escaped from pris- on, was murdered by policemen in his hiding place. On the same day. in Tirnovo one of the founders of the Communist Party of Bulgaria, Grab- ovsky, was murdered in the open street by the shots of a Zankov agent. The Communist Georgi Kortieff was “found dead” in prison. The former ministers of the Stambulisky govern- ment, Kyrill Pavlov and Peter Janey were burnt alive in the police prison cellar in Sofia. Killers of Workers Shielded. The Zankov murderers are also raging abroad now as before.. In Achemoe section near Innesbruck, (Tirol) the dead bodies of two Bul- garian students, Dimitri Russovy and Karokov were found with fettered hands and feet. As Russov is an ac- tive follower of the Macedonian fed- eralists, of the revolutionary. wing of the Macedonians and as they were both found fettered, it is clear that the two were murdered. The further. intentions of the Zankoy bandits it is significant that Mencia Garmiac, the woman who murdered Panitza, has been taken to a sanatorium because of an alleged illness where she is splendidly taken care of and from where she will certainly one day es- cape, provided with excellent pass- ports. It is thus necessary that the workers pay careful attention to the activity of the Bulgarian embassies. Sentenced After Death, The most unheard of shamelessness of the Bulgarian hangmen, however, is the fact that they accuse still"the murdered people and sentence their tortured dead bodies to death “in ab- sence.” Thus a trial. took place in Sofia in which the murdered lawyer Grantcharoff, the member of parlia- ment Petrini, the member of parlia- ment Kosevsky, the secretary of the Young Peasant League Ganovsky, Baroff Naidenoff and Koteff were ac- cused “in absence” and sentenced to death altho the whole press report- ed long ago that they had been mur- dered. With the same shameless hypocrisy a trial was undertaken against a number of “anarchists” who have been burned alive in the streets of Durestol in March, 1925. Altho illegal murder has not yet stopped completely the court martials are working feverishly to fill the gap that the decrease of these murders OUR DAILY PATTERNS IMPLE “DAY” DRESS The straightline dre: It appears in this mo- It is also very good in serge een. ttern is cut in seven sizes: ts, 40, 42, 44 and 46 inches ure.

Legal proceedings have become a mere farce, every legal protection has been abolished. Under the pressure of, the government the official organ- izations of the lawyers have passed in most larger towns of Bulgaria binding decisions that all their mem- bers aré prohibited to defend “high traitors” and “illegal persons.” In order to force also those law- yers who do not ‘belong to these or- ganizations or who would like to re- sist the decision, to follow this rule, attempts are organized against them. In Lom the lawyers were at- tacked and brutally beaten. In the house of the lawyer Ivan Datoff from Burgas, bombs were thrown because he had defended the Communist Maxi- moy. An appeal to the district coun- cil and to the minister of the interior had no result. In the office of the lawyer Jevir Novakchoff in Zara Za- gora a bomb was thrown and the law- yer who managed to’ escape was threatened with death. Under such circumstances the mass fabrication of death sentences is easy. In the recent weeks the fol- lowing death sentences were passed and in most cases carried out: The court martial of Vratza passed a death sentence against four mem- bers of the Communist organization of Tchirpan. On the same day the court martial in Vratza passed four further death sentences. The court martial in Philip Popel passed a death sentence against 11 Commun- ists from Karlens. The supreme mili- tary court in Sofia passed.a death sentence against the Communist, At. Georgieff from Jambol;..n9 appeal is possible. The court martial in Sofia passed..death sentences against two fellow. fighters of the murdered. Bori- meikov. The court martial in Sofia passed a death sentence against the teacher Mavrikoff and the student Bogdanoff from Trevna. The court martial in Sofia passed death sentenc- e3 against four Communists from Ich- timani; no appeal is possible. The court martial passed death sentence against Chr. Tenoff who was accused of participation in the bank robbery in Kotél.- The court martial in Sofia passed death sentences against two accused: on the so-called “trial of con- spirators.” The court martial in Sliv- en passed death sentences against 10 accused,,in Haskov against four and ‘in rkoviza against three accused plotting against the government.” The appeal court in Sofia passed death sentences against four mem- bers of the illegal organization and against the student Jontchev. The court “martial in Sofia passed death setiterices against 10 members of the Conimunist military organization. The incomplete list shows 60 death sen- tences ‘in July. The true figure, how- ever,*is much larger. ‘Despite this. unlimited terror the Zankoy terror is losing more. and moresthe ground under itsifeet and the rumors about a_ resignation of Zankov, a transformation of the gov- ernment, etc., continue to spread. The more must the international working class consider it as its task to come to the aid of the tortured Bulgarian people and to assist it in overthrow- ing the rule of hangmen by a storm of protest. Save the Bulgarian revo- lutionaries whose lives are threat’ ened! Telegraphic Lines For Siberia. MOSCOW, Sept. 15.—(Tass)—Novo- Nikolaievsk, Western Siberia, reports the local authorities are constructing a telegraph line between Krasny, the capital of that region, and Kemtchuy, the next thickly popu- lated locality, which is rapidly grow- ing into a fairly big town, An elec- tric station is also being erected at Krasny.

The workers must demand the release .of their champ- ions who have fallen victim to the white terror, of the master class. Poverty Cause of Last Year’s Poor School Attendance WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—Country children in the United States get an inferior type of schooling, as com- pared with children in towns of less than 2,500 population where more than half of the children enrolled live in town, These facts are brought out in a report.on rural schools issued by the federal burgau of education. It does not say plainly that farm poverty is responsible for the fact that only $68.39 was spent on the average ru- ral school pupil in 1924, as against $100.64..0n the town pupil. It does ask: “Under present conditions is there any such thing as equality of opportunity, ‘in education for the chil- dren of the country?” Fourteen southtern states spend on- ly $34 average per pupil in rural schools, and $44 in town. Western states averaged last year $97 for ru- ral and $117 for ‘town pupils, CHICAGO DAILY NEWS SENDS CORRESPONDENT TO U.8.8.8.

The present is Mr. Wood’s sec- ond trip to Russia. The first time he was in Siberia shortly after Kol- chak’s fall. He proposes to stay in the U. S. S. R. for about two years. EACTIONARY U. S. DELEGATES TO TISH UNION CONFERENCE, BLIND "10 VICTORIES OF THE LEFT WING (Special to Tne Daily Worker) LONDON; England, Sept. 15—-All that Edward J. Evans, reactionary trade union official of the Electrical Workers’ Union, and an American dele- gate to the Scarborough trade union conference, could find to say as he left London was that conditions are getting better for the capitalists, and the Communists shotld stop annoying them. Evans said, “I am convinced that industrial conditions in England are improving,” whereas the official figures show that unemployment is steadily increasing. + The defeat administered the con- servative MacDonald-Thomas, reac- tionary yellow socialist regime when the left wing resolution condemning British imperialism and favoring the right of self determination for all Your Union Meeting Third Wednesday, Aug. 19, 1925 Name of Local and peoples within the empire, even if No. Place of Meeting. they chose complete separation, was passed by a card vote of 3,082,000 to] ** tat nh SEee: Ware 79,000, meant nothing to Evans. “The| i79 e Derrick, 180 4 W., St leadership of MacDoland was never “ Washington St, seriously endangered,” he said, Evans disapproved the fact that M. 2 Tomsky, the Soviet delegate; was} 10 treated so well.

S$. S, R. This is above the pre-war production in the present area of the Soviet Union, and is 50 per cent more than was grown last year, The wheat crop is double that of 1924 and the corn crop is 6 times as much @ at season, Before the war, Russian wheat yields averaged about 10 bushels to the acre; this year’s crop runs 12.7 bushels. Rye, oats and corn are like- wise showing a greatly improved yield per acre. Experts give credit to the use of tractors and American farming methods for the gain made. The crop includes 817,700,000 bu- shels of rye, 660,000,000 of wheat (or 1 THAD Michigan only 50,000,000 short of the American Firemen and _tnginemen, 7429 g,| Wheat crop this year), m. 697,500,000 of oats, 273,750,000 of barley, 205,700,000 175,500,000 of corn and 75,- About 300,-000,- 000 bushels of grain will be exported. of millet, Great Britain At Radio Meet WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—Great Britain has accepted the invitation of thé United States to attend an inter- national radio conference in Washing- toa in 1926, the state department an- nounced. ¢ ae Fight Fromthe 4th. the Zeigler Frame-up!
