But it is worth while to note ocea sions when one's own town or city hz been awake. It may possibly encour- age people to continue the practice of alertness.

RUSSIAN REBELS ON TRIAL IN MOSCOW Charges and Counter-Charges Made by Counsels Moscow, June 9, (By The Associat- €d Press).—The hatred of FEurope's moderate socialists for ‘the Russian communists, and the latter's recipro- cal feeling toward the moderates, crystallized yesterday at the opening of the trial here of 34 members of the social revolutionist party. Leaders of the second internationale and other European socialist organi- zations appeared as counsel for the defendants, who are accused among other things of bettaying the Rus- sian revolution, of assisting Kolchak and Denikene and of engineering plots to assassinate [lenine, Trotzky and other bolshevik leaders. The de- fendants are divided into three groups, the first being headed by An- eram R. Gotz, responsible member of the central executive committee of the social revolutionary party who was one of the principal aids to Ker- ensky, and Dimitri Donskoi, accused as the party's representative on all| military commissions and of being in | touch with Gen. Ludendorff. In this| group is a woman, Eugenie M. Rat- ner, cashier of the party. The second group consists of six or seven persons, including Lydia | Konoplova and M. Semenoff-Vasilieff, who were, it is alleged, actually charged with the task of Killing the bolsheviki leaders, but who turned informers. ’ ' These are being defended nent boishevists as counsel, The third group comprises a num-- ber of members of the party alleged to have been familiar with the plot- ting, to have sheltered the plotters and to have been otherwise impli- cated At the opening of the trial the de- fendants raised the objection that as all three of the judges were commun- by emi- |in judgment upon their political op- {ponents. The objection was over- iruled after a forensic battle in which (internationally famous socialists took part. Some of the prisoners entered |the fray hurling objections and inter- |Jection in Russian, ¥rench and Ger- | | man From the red decorated stage, the {coungel, prisoners and court looked !out upon an audience packing every |inch of the floor and balconies of the |marble-pillared, massively chandel- iered ballroom in which the trial is| |being held. The crowd was studded }wnh the bayonets of soldier guards, many of whom were women. Emil Vandervelde, Belgian socialist, ’hmt‘ member of the Belgian cabinet and president of the second interna- {tionale, is one of the leading foreign- ers in the counsel in the defense; and was foremost in pressing the objec- tions to the judges and prosecutor. |In strident French he declared it was evident that Belgium and Russia had |different conceptions of justice. In- 1trnsn silence by the court arose as {the Belgian declared that this po- |litical trial was being watched by (the millions of the proletariat whom he represented. : M. Vandervelde's bold challenge was answered by the grizzled Krylen- | ko. the chief prosecutor. “No wonder we have different con- |ceptions of justice,” he declared. “Buch justice will Belgium have only when her ministers are placed on 1,536 PIECES OF MUSLIN UNDERWEAR IN A ROUSING BIG SALE, SATURDAY AT THIRD FLOOR ......c000vetenes 95¢ NIGHT GOWNS, ENVELOPE CHEMISES, VESTS, BLOOMERS, STEP-INS AND SKIRTS—White, flesh, orchid, maize, rose and blue nainsook nicely trimmed with embroid- ery, lace, smocking and ribbon—Come, buy at this sale for your vacation needs.
