LENIN ASKS TO EXCHANGE FURS FOR U. S. GRAIN Russian Premier Admits Communistic Program ‘Has Gone to Bottom.' SEES WAR WITH JAPAN BT PARLEY P. CHRISTENSEN. Farmer-Labor Candidate for President. RIGA, Dec. 2.—‘"Feed our famine victims and your wives will wear furs." This is the message of Premier Lenin of Russia to the American farmers. It was given to me in a two day interview In which Lenin: I. Predicted a war between the United States and Japan; g. Admitted his soviet communistic program Lad "gone right to the bottom.'’ . STUDIES CONDITIONS. I went to Moscow Oct. 28, as chairman of the Russian trade relations commission. I studied conditions and visited many factories, warehouses, courts, schools and hospitals. No particular attention was paid to my presence until Saturday when I received a message from one cf the People's Commissaries whom I found upon investigation to be Lenin, saying he wanted to see me. "Glad to see you Christensen,’* said Lenin ae he received me courteously at the Kremlin. He spoke excellent English. We had a two-hour conversation. After I had responded Ao this greeting and also had spoken to a number of farmers and workers who were in an anteroom, Lenin's first question was: LENIN TALKS OF CAPITALISTIC WAR. "What about the war between Japan and America?" "I do not think a war Is likely,” I replied. "There s bound to be a capitalistic war,” insisted the premier. “I have not been to Japan,” I said, "but I know that Japan and America are friends. Not only their governments, but their people are friendly." “But,” replied Lenin, “you know war is the very best industry of the capitalists and that is the kind of government you have.” "I do not believe a war with Japan is possible,” I said. "The world has had enough of war.” Lenin’s response was emphatic. He said: "Oh, no, it hasn’t. One la bound to come. It's brewing now."

SKEPTICAL OF DISARMAMENT RESULTS. We then turned to the disarmament conference and Lenin said: "I do not know, but I fear that there will not be much of a result—perhaps some alliances. Don’t yon think an An-glo-American-.Tapanese alliance is the most probable?” “I hope there will be no alliance leading to misunderstanding and troubles.” I said. Lenin questioned me with regard to the feeling between America and Great Britain. I told him it is very friendly that America 1* practically at peace with tho whole world; that I knew there are many Americans who are anything bnt friendly to Britain, but the people of both countries generally are friendly and their governments certainly are. ASKS TO EXCHANGE FURS FOR GRAIN. When I mentioned the Russian famine he said: "The work Is progressing quite as we expected, but we need more grain. Winter la coming and the situation will he worse. Why don’t American farmer* send us wheat and receive our raw materials ?" "What have yon?” I asked. “Feed our famine victims and weav furs,” replied Lenin quickly. “We can put furs on your wives. We have Inexhaustible supplies of minerals, forests to_ make pulp for years, bristles, caviar, etc.” "Why don’t you do business with ns? It’s your fault, otherwise you would have all the champagne you needed.” Lenin said he appreciated my congratulations sent last year to the British labor party on its decision to discontinue making munitions to support the Poles in a war on Russia. He asked me to come In the next day and continue the conversations. Returning the next day, the premier asked whether I had enjoyed a good meal after our last talk. When I gave him a positive affirmative Lenin exclaimed : “Good 1 You’re in a good humor. You must send us wheat.” I promised to do my utmost and asked: "What happened to your program?" SOVIET FROGRAM GOES TO BOTTOM. "It’s all gone right to the bottom, the soviet program, as well as mine,” he said. Lenin then said: "I want to have a photograph taken of myself and you, the representative of the American farmers. It will show Lenin and Christensen talking about sending American wheat to the famine victims, the next capitalistic war between America and Japan, and discussing Christensen's letter to the British Labor party.” The Premier wrote this title for the photograph on a piece of paper and handed It to me and then we sat for several photographs together and parted In the most friendly manner. Lenin put his automobile at my disposal. Two commissaries rode with me to the station. X received an excellent Impression of Lenin and returned more enthusiastic than when I weut to Rusala, absolutely convinced that there are immediate Urge bnslness possibilities with that country. —Copyright. 1921, by United Preos in the United States and Canada.

GEORGE SIDNEY BLOWS INTO TOWN And All the Folk Say, ‘Welcome Stranger*

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. "Welcome Stranger.” And you are welcome a hundred times. Stranger, you put a smile on our faces and a little more of the milk of human kindness In our hearts. That's.. liat you did last night at English'® when we had our first chance here to welcome you here. What more can we ask of a play when the theater sends ns away happier, and 1 believe a little better in this instance, than when we entered and presented our pasteboards. That’s what Mr. George Sidney and "Welcome Stranger” accomplished last night before an audience which nearly packed English's from the main floor to the very roof. Mr. Sidney had the biggest opening night of the current season at this playhouse, I am informed. Backed by over two years success in Chicago. New York and a few other cities, “Welcome Stranger” came to us last night nut a6 an experiment. When patrons placed their money on the ledge of boxofflce at English's for “Welcome Stranger,” the patron knew that he would receive full value for every cent spent. Let there be no misunderstanding of the theme of "Welcome Stranger.” It concerns the struggle of a Jew who wanders Into Valley Falls. New England, on New Year's eve 1920. The town is "down” on all members of the Jewish race and will not even let them stay In the hotel over night. One young Jewish traveling man finds it more pleasant to leave. He does aDd as he departs into a regular New England storm. George Sidney as Isidore Solomon, “blows” into the “lobby” of the Grand Hotel. Ills features are covered with a muffler. The mayor of the town, the owner and clerk of the hotel, Clem Beemis, who Is looked upon as a foolish “electrical” crank with queer ideas In his head, an attorney and others “welcomed” Solomon. When he removes his muffler and they discover he Is a Jew, the atmosphere changes In tho lobby of the hotel to frigid winter. Tucked away in the big, human heart of Isidore Solonon is a certain lesson which enables him to withstand his chilly reception. n> sees noth- [ ing but a real greeting. They insult him and refuse to give him a room. He is i content to sleep in a chair in the lobby. The citizens decide that he must go, but Isidore stays. He makes friends with Clem Beemis who dreams of establishing an electric plant near the falls of Valley Falls, but the town thinks he Is an old fool. Solomon listens to Clem's dream. During this conversation the author has created one of the most human and sincere scenes of the entire show. Solomon agrees to put up IIV) to secure an option on the land near the fails. That makes Clem and Solomon partners. The clerk starts to put Solomon out of the hotel. Then charges him S2 for a chair, hut when the humnneas of Solomon’s makeup begins to soak In, the clerk hands back $1 and apologizes for compelling to deny him a room because he would "loose” his job as clerk. The cterk Informs Solomon that there ti- some Christian Science literature in the rack which he can read because It Is “free.” In the half lighted lobby. Solomon reads the Christian Science literature. Ont of the storm comes another stranger. Her name is Inst Mary. Solomon welcomes her and tries to make h°r comfortable and happy. He covers her with his overcoat as she sleeps in the easiest chair. Solomon takes the hardest chairs and tries to make a happy new year of it. The second act gets underway with Mary, the girl/'ont of the storm reading a science lesson to Solomon. Solomon is waiting to meet Essie, his daughter who is a girl in her teens. YYou get ac-

Real Rest Depends Largely Upon the Depth of Your Sleep A warning to “light” or “poor” sleepers The deeper and sounder you sleep the better you feel. Five hours sound refreshing sleep does you more actual good than ten hours restless, disturbed sleep. This is because the final conversion of food into vital tissue and nerve cells goes on more rapidly when the physical and mental forces are at rest. You can’t get sound, refreshing sleep if your nerves are agitated with tea or coffee. Both these drinks contain caffeine, which is sometimes very irritating to the brain and nervous system. If you want to know the joy, vigor am* stamina that comes to the person who gets sound, healthful sleep, why not stop taking tea or coffee for a while, and drink delicious, invigorating Postum Thousands of people everywhere have found that this was the only thing they needed in order to bring about these very happy results.

MISS SYLVIA FIELD. This is a picture of Miss Field who plays the Mary role in “Welcome Stranger” with so much natural charm that you are bound to “love" her because she makes Mary as sweet as honey. This is the role that Margaret Mower, formerly of the Stuart Walker Company, played in Chicago and New York. The work of Miss Field is excellent.

quainted with the real genius of Clem. . His electrical equipment is all over the house. His laboratory is in a barn where $4,000 worth of merchandise Is stored because the mayor and some other the others have agreed to prevent any . ne from renting a store to Solomon. The committee composed of these gentlemen arrive to force Clem to put Solomon and Marj f ont of his home. He refuses. It Is In this scene when Solomon, after his daughter Essie had been Insulted by the narrow minded committee, gives them the taste of the real stuff that is in him. He tells them that he has read the constitution and all men are equal regardless of religion, color or previous condition of servitude. The mayor and the only general store merchant sees a chance to get Clem out of the house while Solomon, Mary and Essie are attending a Christian Scionce meeting. The mayor and the merchant give Clem enough money to pay his back taxes. They advise him to pay the back taxes at once. In his absence they operate an electric switch which fires the barn and destroys the stock of merchandise belonging to Solomon. "I am ruined,” he declares. “No you are not,” answers Clem, “I just paid the Insurant* policy which expired. Now we can start our electric plant.” Solomon rushes hack to the science tes-

timonial meeting to give a real testimonial. The third act shows the electric plant In operation, but the mayor of the town will not honor a franchise held by Clem. The action centers on the efforts of the mayor and others to cheat Solomon and Clem (Tut of the plant. There Is some finely developed theatrical scenes in this net. The mayor sees a chance to win his point by exposing the past of Mary, in whose name is placed the option of the ground on which the plant is located. She runs away, leaving Ned Tyler, son of the banker, heartbrokec. The big punch of the show comes in a most clever way at the end of the third net wbi n Solomon exposes the mayor of the town and the leader of those who hate the Jews as a Jew himself masquerading under another name.

The fdurth act Is all gravy. It Is New Year’s night, 192 L The old hotel has been transformed Into anew one with a wonderful lobby, street cars passing the door, Jewish patrons welcomed and the whole town greeting Solomon as the greatest citizen of the town. Mary is brought back to Ned and the whole town 1* happy. Solomon explains that he is a “Jewish Scientist.”’ The great lesson has been taught. It warmed a great audience last night at English’s just as it did for nearly two years in Chicago and New York. To George Sidney as Isidore Solomon belo’.gs the credit for giving the stage the first truthful portrayal of the Jew. Sidney melts the doctrine of right living and right thinking all over the theater. He is natural. He gives us a real, honest, soul, stirring and sympathetic characterization not a burlesque. It is honest act-

ing in the highest degree. Nothing finer on the stage today along this particular line of acting. The entire cast is more than satisfactory. It is nearly cast perfect. Yo\i will "love” Sylvia Field as Mary, Francis Loughton as Essie and you will relish the really fine work of David Higgins as Clem Bemls, who starts out to be the town fool and develops into an electrical wizard. Every part in the show is faithfully done.

comeStrattgfflrhas reached Indianapolis long before the play arrived at English’s last night. I need not advise you to attend. You will be lucky if you are able to get seats. But try, and 1 hope#you get them. George Sidney and "Welcome Stranger” will give you a grand evening in the theater. Don’t miss It.
