THE TEMPER OF LOYALISTS
(Chicago Tribune.)

New York, soldiers and sailors who, a few months ago, were and shortly will agair be civilians in all walks of life, rained some hardened knuckles on the skulls of the bol shevik crew This was their manner of re plying to the lying, poisonous propaganda of so-called proletarian socialism.
 The voice of the proletariat is something to consider in Russia, where some 90 pei cent of the population lives in ignorance and has always lived under oppression. The meager and filthy exotics of this country propose to arouse a like sentiment But they have failed to take note of free thinking, intelligent populace which in an age of progress and education and broad suffrage Is as far removed from the un- thinkable stamp of oppression as is liberty from slavery.
 Prattling of the proletariat in America is as wide of the point as referring to Cover nor Lowden as a peasant because he chooses to live on farm in civil life. Peas antry in America, indeedl Our exotics should try to talk their bolshevism among the farmers of this neighborhood who set their blows so grinly that a billion bushels increase was their response to the govern ment's request
 But this is incidental The shameful fraud of the internationalists -bolshev-. ists and un-American-is their throaty croak. We won the war" In effect this means: The American proletariat won the war; the proletariat of Europe won the war" It is unspeakable, and the Ameri- cans who did win the war, the soldiers and sailors who left their shops and blows and offices to don the American uniform, showed the croakers that the temper of the country will be aroused.
 The American proletariat did not win the war because there IS no American prole- tariat There is a nation of intelligent, re- sourceful, and patriotic men and women who will rise to anger when the Lenines and Trotzkys attempt to brand them with the hateful mark of downtrodden ignor- ance The proletariat did not win the war for England, France and Belgium or Italy or Slovakia or Serbia or any other ot the peoples that engaged. There are no such classes in those countries patriotic enough and loyal enough to bear arms for a decent cause.
 This has been a war of people-of all the people And only the bolshevists re- mained away as wolves skulking in the offing, their jawls drooling in prospect of a feast as they circled about two mighty deer locked in a death struggle. Russia and Germany have fallen wounded in the conflict; and the wolves that took no hon. orabIe, part but only lurked in the shadows and spread the contagion of discomfort now rush forth to seize upon the sick body polite. Such as the bolshevist.
 Is the bolshevist a democratic person, and does he cry out for government by the people? Not so. In Russia we saw the temperate Kerensky government thrown aside and terrorism set up in its place. Russian streets have run with blood, and just lately we read of 500 officers slain to emphasize the bolshevik authority. We thought this could not happen in Germany because we have been told that Germans are complacent, obedient to the state, in- dustrious and orderly In the transition from autocracy to alleged democracy there was quiet and order. But those who placed their trust in sanity failed to take note of the thirst of the wolves that circled in the shadows. And now the soviets are in wide control.
 There can be no mistaking the clause from the agreement between the soldiers and sailors council and the government:
 Second-Their aim is to defend and develop what has been accomplished by
