formed, As q matter Of fact new Ma
tional Guard units will probably not be
drafted In the federal service, but Will

The bolsheviki danger IN Russia is
like a cancer" he continued, IF it is
not operated on in time it is bound to
grow until it reaches the vital organs
and kills the patient. The danger has
now come very close to the organs of
the new republic.
The operation must be performed
Immediately, and Gen. kalendines is the
man to perform it. In this he Will have
