suspicion. Raymond Robins told The
exact truth about Russia. Not only
did he describe events exactly as they
happened in Russia, but he foretold
the future with considerable accur
acy. For two yean so-called intel
ligent people ssid Robins was a Bol
shevist, simply because he told the
truth. He said the Bolshevist theory
was economically unsound and mor
ally a crime. 'But,' he said, 'the
Soviet rules Russia today; it's the
only thing which takes the place of
the church and the Czar. The Soviet
is going to rule Russia for some
time to come. If anyone tries to
persuade you that there is any power
or force or belief in Russia at pres
ent that is not based on the Soviet,
don't believe him.' Did our State
Department thank Robins for telling
the truth T Our State Department
tried to discredit Robins in every
way simply because he told the
truth. He bad an embarrassing
habit of being right and of present
ing a perfectly clean-cut policy
based on truth and common senBe.
His polity was to leave Russia alone
to work out her own salavation. We
are all beginning to wish that our
Etate Department and the State De-
partments of the Allies had taken
Robins' advice."
Berea is indeed fortunate in hav
ing Raymond Robins here, and we
shall aot ceae to be grateful for hit
messages.

BASEBALL RECORDS
For the official baseball season
every department played one game
ith every other department This
meant that every team had four
games. As a matter of fact more
games were played than this, but
are not reckoned In these summer-

The records are not correct in all
instances, but they are fairly ac.
curate.
The scores for all the games were
as follows:

A total of sixty-six different men
played in the games. Some of these
of course played more than others.
The batting averages do not mention
all of the men, for some played in
so few innings.
