...Czar's Imperial Russian Army has good reason to detest "Reds." Last week George sweltered in Manhattan, parsed verbs, declined nouns and pronouns. He already speaks fluently French, Russian, German, Greek, Italian, Turkish- no English. He has 18 days in which to learn English before his passport expires. He will then be handed a U. S.

S. General Coss is an enemy of President Calles and a onetime supporter of Huerta. One of his former subordinates was recently deported by the U.
