Announcing Records Compare Them —Then Decide! Do as music critics do. Compare records, judge —and then decide. We know what Brunswick Records are. When we say they are different, we know they’ll be a revelation to you. They thrill, they inspire, they excite! But you must hear them to appreciate this difference. Brunswick Records unite the talent of the artist with the genius of the composer. Brunswick Records, because of the naturalness by which they are recorded, stimulate the imagination. You can see the soloist breathe deeper, blow harder, finger more vigorously or bow heavier. They are music pictures such as your thoughts never painted before. Artists find them ideal channels for expressingtheir highest emotional moments. A Brunswick Record Recital Here —Today Come in—choose the records you want compared. No obligation to buy. A musical treat is in store for you. Worland Bros.

GERMANS BACK REDS

RUSS HAVE SECRET .TREATY WITH BERLIN GOVERNMENT. London Newspaper Correspondent Says the Soviet* Plan to Control Exports. London, Aug. 6.—Soviet Russia concluded a secret treaty with Germany concerning Poland a few weeks before the great Polish offensive began, says a correspondent of the'London Times. He claims he has secured the information from “excellent authority.” The treaty, it is asserted, contained the following provisions: Russia, without Interference from Germany, would be allowed to appropriate all of Poland’s arms, munitions, rolling stock and foodstuffs. After this conquest of Poland permission would be given Russia to send a number of bolshevik commissioners into that country to control the export of Polish supplies of all kinds. Russia would then undertake to evacuate Poland completely in favor of Germany, which would hold the country as a guarantee agatnst future credits to Russia in return for German goods and German labor. “Russia,” the correspondent adds, “Intends to try to avoid the terms of this treaty by the creation of a Polish bolshevik army, the first steps in the formation of which are now being taken In occupied areas of Poland. When Russia withdraws from Poland she will leave this Polish army, permitting Germany to take such steps as she can to face the situation. The bolshevikl are convinced England will not materially aid Poland and will wage their next campaign against Roumania in Bessarabia.”
