the Polo Grounds, New York, will be
flashed on the screen at the Liberty

er with a summary. The manage

Dempsey, advises the Gatew’ay should
begin arriving between 7 and 8 o’
clock. i

who were to have left for Nuka Bay,
yesterday, were forced to remain in
Seward until their outfit arrives.

ic artist; Malcolm Wilson, represen

—speaking
from experience
a friend writes:
4<I have used
CHAMBERLAIN’S TABLETS
for many years.
They keep my
stomach and liver
in good order, but I
use them more especially
for constipation.
I take one

This keeps my bowels
in a natural condition.
For constipation,
this remedy is
invaluable.’*
It pays you
to clear up

Use a good physic.

RUSSIAN SOVIETS
RESPONSIBLE FOR.
WAR IN CHINA
JAPAN AND RUSSIA BOTH WORK
SECRETLY TO OBTAIN CON
TROL OF EMPIRE
WASHINGTON. D. C., June 5 (/P)—
Information has reached the Associa
ted Press pointing direct to participa
tion of the Russian Soviets in the
impending armed struggle for control
of all China. The preparations al
ready made contemplate civil war of
major proportions, centering in the
northern provinces which will dwarf
in importance the present sporadic
disturbances in the southern prov
inces around Shanghai.
The ultimate political consequences
of Russian interference can only be
conjectured, as the area of probable
operations is in the sphere of interest
to Japan.
The Soviet government is behind
Feng Yu Shiang, leader of the faction
least friendly to Tokio. Chang Tso
Lin, opposing Feng, is reported to
have the moral if not the physical
support of Japan. Such a struggle
might easily approximate the war be
tween Japan and Russia, with Feng
Chang campaigning for Moscow, and
Tokio furnishing supplies for Tso Lin.
Already much arms and munitions
have been sent across the frontier
from Russia, and Soviet army instruc
tors have gone to Mongolia to coop
erate with Feng’s officers.
The Russian envoy, Karakhan, at
Peking, has given much open encour
agement to the forces of unrest in a
manner which has incurred the strong
displeasure of diplomats of the great
World Powers. Russian propaganda
has been increasing in volume, not
only in the north, but in Canton and
other centers of the Southern prov
inces. The American government is
viewing the situation with great anx
iety.
The Associated Press has been in
formed that on one occasion eighty
truck loads of military supplies cross
ed the Russian border in one convoy.
Since the beginning of the year
25.000 small arms, scores of machine
guns and thousands of rounds of am
munition have entered upper Mongo
lia from Russia.
Late in April Feng ordered the mo
bilization of the rolling stock of the
Shan Haikwan railroad. The Soviet
government has been tightening its
pressure for control of the Chinese
Eastern Railway.
In Japan it is admitted that Chang
Tso Lin has received supplies from
Japan and that Japanese instructors
have openly aided in the reorganiza
tion of Chang’s army until military
observers believe that Chang will be
able to withstand any movement of
Feng’s army, but with Russian aid be
ing poured over the border Feng is
becoming a power, constantly grow
ing in magnitude, not only in the af
fairs of China but in world politics.
REEDY PARTY TOURIST JULY
Frank Reedy, the tour manager,
will arrive in Seward the latter part
of July, according to information re
ceived recently by the Gateway. Mr.

75 to 100 tourists will compose the

al vessel for the trip. The party
coming in July will make the trip

A baseball game between two scrub
teams, selected from the pick fo Sew
