J. McCormick. No relatives were present and the cere- mony was carried out without their knowledge. “I think that the reason for the haste was that my mother wanted Grace to marry an Englishman,” the bride’s brother said. “I am very glad that she has done what she has done, for Mr. Davis is a fine young man and they are very much in love with each other. I am sure they will be happy.” A planned honeymoon to British Columbia, where the young husband s scheduled to work during the summer was delayed while the couple awaited the forgiveness of Colonel and Mrs. Vanderbilt.

Several Negroes have been select- ed from this country and transport- ed to Moscow where they are given thorough instructions in the opera- tton and theorics of communism. Through this medium, the Herald- Tribunz says, the Reds hope to bring the whole Negro population of the United States solidly under the influence of Bolshevik ideas. The organization, which heads this movemen in this country, is known as the “American Negro La- bor Congres: with headquarters in Chicago. The official publication, “The Negro Champlon,” acts as its mouthpiece. The Herald-Tribune further says, that the leaders of this scheme are Richard B. Moore, and Lovett Fort- ‘Whiteman, of Chicago.
