Causing Uneasiness.

Petrograd, March 27.-via London
The work of agitators whose efforts
are designed to hinder the successful
accomplishment of the revolution is
becoming apparent with the subsistence
OF activity on the part of the military
which forced the supporters Of the old
regime to keep in hiding during the
early days of the upheaval
The indications Of such work in Pet
rograd. which are indefinite in form,
are confused with the possible designs
of horde of criminal prisoners, who
were released from the jails, with no.
Iitical Offenders. One definite instance
has been recorded, however. Yester-
day n motor car speeding along the
streets scattered proclamations calling
on the people to undertake wholesale
massacre OF the intelligent classes.
On other occasions during the night
time Similar cars have been running
about without lights. Their occupants
are said to have fired on the militia.
The militia is thoroughly alive to the
danger of such counter manifestations
and the commandant has issued strict
orders for vigilance.
Strange chalk markings on the rear
doors Of apartments throughout the
city are causing much uneasiness and
In the absence of other explanations
they are being linked with the gen.
eral mass of rumors and reports of eff
forts being made for a counter revo-
luton. From Kharkoy, Kiev and points
along the Volga come reports of efforts
on the part of old secret police to stir
up opposition to the new government.
The situation in south Russian cities
has been complicated by the whole
sale escape of desperate criminals,
who are assisting in the disorganiza
ton fomented by enemies of the gov
eminent.
AS an instance, while so military
prisoners at kharkov were being re-
leased, 200 Convicts made a dash for
liberty. At Zhitomir. the convicts mu-
tinted and a battle between them and
the guards took place. At the Vintsa
prison in the Kiev district 500 des-
perate criminals escaped making their
Wayrtoward Kiev, hunted by the new
militia. Many of the men returned
voluntarily, however. unwilling to
complicate the task of the new gov
eminent.

Until Colorado was discovered" as
the ideal vacatfon-land, thousands of
Americans went abroad every year In
search of new thrills. Now they go to
Colorado and get moro variety Of
scenery and pleasure In a single day
than they formerly did in a week.
An almost endless procession of
trips, jaunts, out-of-door excursions
and amusements are to be had daily
at practically little or no extra cost
Just to mention a few Of the more
noted places Of interest is sufficient
to convey some idea of the wonders
Of this fairy-land: Rocky Mountain
National Park (Estes); Pixies Peak
Region; the Garden of the Gods; Col
orado Springs and lovely Denver,
with their wonderful systems of mag
nificent mountain parks.
It Is surprising how little 1t costs
to see all these wonderful sights. to
say nothing Of the myriad of other
to Colorado. Without doubt, a Colo
RADIO vacation is the most economical
and beneficial you can possibly make.
Write for our special illustrated lit
erature, showing the latest views of
you all the details about the trip,
where to go, what to see and just how
little you need to pay. We will gladly

paid no heed to this proposal from
Munich. but II this years harvest
should be as bad as that Of last year
the government may be compelled to
accept the Munich plan after all.
Socialists Are Elected.
During the last year there have been
elections held In Germany for seats in
the Reichstag to fill those vacated by
death. illness or the retirement Of
members because Of age. When the
election was held In Potsdam, the
Kaisers home, a Socialist was elected
to take the place of DR.. Kari Lieb-
knecht, who was sentenced to two
years imprisonment Socialists also
carried elections in Cologne and in
Essen, where the great Krupp NUM-
ton factories are located.
The government has been watching
this advance in socialism very care
fully It has tried to keep abreast Of
the times by establishing state social
ism In Germany during the war. The
present method of controlling and dis
tributing food is purely socialistic. At
present the ~. e. G." which is the
official bureau for purchasing and con-
trolling the sale of food, is absolutely
socialistic In its nature No German
firm and no private citizens can buy
food wholesale or retail in any neutral
country in Europe and bring it into
Germany without having the supply
confiscated by this organization. The
result Is that no German firm today
buys food in neutral countries. Every
thing available In Holland, Denmark,
Norway, Sweden, Switzerland or Hun
gary. is purchased by an agent of the
~. E. G." and shipped into Germany in
freight cars owned by this organiza-
ton. Travellers in neutral European
countries will see on the railway sid
ings white freight cars with the fol-
lowing sign in big black letters:
central MISUNDERSTANDING, Deut-
schland"-the so-called a. E. G."
Before this bureau was organized
German merchants had been going to
these countries and bidding against
each other for the available food. The
result was that prices became almost
prohibitive. Now the government
sends one man to buy the supplies and
offers certain fixed price.
This same organization controls the
sale OF all food within Germany. A
Bavarian wholesale grover, for In
stance, cannot send food to Berlin or

enough for the country to hold out, the
Munich Socialists wrote to the Chan
cellor suggesting that all food in Ger
many, even that in possession of pri-
vate families, be confiscated. The
poor know that people with money
have been able to buy food in large
quantities both inside and outside of
Germany and store it for the 'siege."
The people know, also, that those who
live on big estates and farms keep
back all the food they need for them
selves and only sell what they have to-.
So the Munich Socialists recommend
ed to the government that food be
taken away from all persons in Ger
many. A further proposal was that
the government organize soup kitchens
and restaurants throughout Germany
and compel every one, high and low,
rich and poor. to eat the same kind of
food in government cafes. This was
bitterly opposed, Of course, by every
one in Germany who had food or who

to any city outside of Bavaria unless
he sells It to the II. e. G." BY making
the penalty 30 high-in some cases It
amounts to imprisonment-few people
try to get around these government
restrictions.
Socialist Schemes Succeed.
This 10 one of the ways by which
state socialism has been established in
Germany during hostilities. Because
the government was successful In the
food department, similar bureaus were
organized to care for other common
needs. A government department to
buy, sell and conserve all edible fats
was organized. Another bureau to con-
troll the OIL market and another to pur-
chase old clothes and still another to
havev charge OF wool and cotton were
founded.
On the whole these socialistic
schemes have been 80 successful that
many Socialists and officials are look
ing forward to the period after the war
when these ideas can be extended. It
has been suggested already that the
government take over what remains OF
the German steamship companies and
oStaOllSQ government mOuOYOly Ii
merchant ships. 1t has been suggested
that the government import all raw
materials and export all manufactured
articles. It has been suggested that
the government bring the soldiers
back from the front In companies and
in regiments and run the factories
like the army has been run. But while
the government may desire to do this,
the voters will probably have some
thing else to say.
The Socialists are the reformers OF
Germany, and inasmuch as they have
been able to make such progress dur
ing the war, when they have been
prevented from doing SO many things
they planned, it is almost certain when
peace comes the Socialists will play
the leading role in reorganization.
The growth of the Socialists has by
no means been in vain. II they sue
coed In accomplishing the reforms
which they expect, there will be a uni
versal peace party in Germany In the
future to take the place of the univers-
al war party of the past. The Social

The thousands of German boys being taken

death awaits them if captured by the allies. So,
although mere children, they fight bravely.
However, when taken back of the lines they find
a paradise compared to life in the German
trenches. They are we'll fed and cared for, re-

GOVERNOR TO BE CONGRATULATED.

Our worthy governor has been labelled as
"muddled" by the Milwaukee Free Press. The
Free Press processes to believe that Mr.. Philip
is lacking in common sense because he forbade
disloyal meetings designed to foment discord
and to stir up smouldering enmity against the
flag.
The governor is to be congratulated. Con-
graduated, indeed, because he is old-fashioned
enough to see an issue clearly when it arises
and to know that he cannot serve God and Nam
mon-America and Kaiser Bill!
Yes, perhaps, our good governor is mud
died." If so, we would like to see some of his
sturdy Americanisn, muddled and old-fashion-
ed as it may seem to the Free Press, injected
into the small and vigorous brain pan of the
editor of that paper.
In the meantime Mr.. Philip can rest as
sured of the support of vast thousands of good
Americans in Wisconsin, men and women who
feel proud that their governor at least has not
shamed them before the country. Our congrat-
ulations, Governor! We love you for the enc
mics you have made
