rest caused by the growing of the
cock had impaired their health. An
other witness stated that two young

CRUSH HUN GOVERNMENT,
ONLY WAY, SAYS CAPTAIN
Washington Relatives Of American
Ohhcer Receive Letter He Sent
From France.

The only way to deal with the German
government Is to crush it out. writes
Capt. J. L. Stoddard of the American
expeditionary force to relatives at Zlal
Florida avenue. Last fall Capt. Stod-
dard narrowly escaped death during
German air raid on a French town.
Here Is what he says Of the Huns:
II suppose you have seen in the pa
pers the latest exploit of the Huns IN
bombing hospitals. Those bombed were
a good many miles from here. but were
quite near where we were at first.
II am sure that they meant to bomb
them in each instance. The night was
perfect, the area we'll known. and they
used machine guns, so that their eX-
cuse that they were trying for the rail-
road track does not work.
"I hope the American air service Will
make them realize that they are outside
Of all consideration as civilized race.
The only way is to absolutely crush them
nothing else will work.
''I did not entirely believe the stories
of Hun atrocities at first, but now I know
the reality is worse than anything that
7 have seen described. And things arc
always followed by cynical. lying ex-
cuses.

blame the Russians. We should, on
the contrary. show them every SYM
pathy. They have been wounded unto
death by foes from within and with
out. and we should be ready to give
them all the help in our power to
assist them in their speedy recovery.
How Russia Helps Allies.
For though the Russians have been
defeated. they are still fighting for US
in the region of ideas. by the spread
ing Of their socialistic principles.
which nothing can now prevent from
penetrating the innermost depths of
central Europe. We must not forget
that this war is not entirely mill
tary issue-that it is merely the
means to the end. 1t is first and fore
most q moral issue. Democracy Is on
trial. and I would even go SO far as to
we win on the field of battle If we do
not also win in the region of ideas.
We are fighting for the great moral
principles so admirably set forth by
President Wilson. and in the fulfill
ment Of those principles we must also
help Russia, who by her revolution
has cleared the air and made the war
truly one of democratic liberty against
autocratic militarism. True Russians
will not be grateful to Germany for
what she is doing to their country to-
day. AS, President Wilson says. the
treatment accorded to Russia by her
sister nations in the months to come
will be the accepted test of their good
will, Of their comprehension of her
needs.

Special Correspondence of The Evening
Star and Chicago Dnily News.
PEKING. China, April 10.-One of
the greatest Russian socialists of the
born in 1914 and died in 1876. Bakunin
looked upon the Russian people as
the born people of the social revo-
luton. He quoted the Importance
Of the mir" the village community
that owns land in common. Accord
ing to Russian popular ideas, the
whole land belongs to the people
alone-that is. to the whole mass Of
real workers who till it with their
hands: and it is just this idea which.
according to him, contains in itself
all social revolutions of the past and
future. He also held that the Slavs,
in particular the Great Russians,
were the least warlike of peoples.
and that they aimed at no conquests.
but set their sole and passionate
desire upon the free and collective
exploitation of the soil. The Rus
slams. he argued. are socialist by in
stinct and revolutionary by nature.
and. therefore, the Russians Will
initiate the confederation Of the
world. If he were living here ne
would doubtless say his prophecy Is
being fulfilled.
Lenine Prominent in 1908.
We will now consider his sue
cessors, the two leaders of bolshevism,
Ienine and Trotzky. Ulianot Lenine
seven years ago; in 1900 he left Rus
STA and joined Plehanov in Switzer-
land and worked with him with the
object of establishing western social
democracy in Russia. At the soclallst
conference at Stockholm in 1908 a
difference of ideas was revealed oe-
tween the group of Russian socialists
and two parties were formed-the
bolsheviki and mensheviki. The Tor
mer had a majority at the conference
and the latter a minority.
The tactics advocated by the MAJOR
fly under Lenine were those which ne
has pursued consistently ever since.
The essence of his tactics may be
summed up in the words pure reVo-
1uttunary action without any compro..
mise with the bourgeois parties.
Neither in 1905 nor in 1917 has he ever
wavered under any conditions in the
appIica tiori of his rules Of conduct.
In 1906 Lenine returned to Russia to
take part in the revolution. True to
his theories, he persuaded his follow
ers to boycott the elections for the
first duma. with the result that there
werA no social democrats in the first
dunra of May. 1906. But the time was
not.xipe for such extreme tactics and
he again left Russia in 1917. He then
burst into notoriety by his return to
Russia across Germany after the rev.
olution in 1917.

Favors Land Distribution.

II is doubtful whether Lenine him
self dreams of complete victory. He
may well feel that the days of his
triumph are already numbered, but he
means to SOW the seed that others
may reap. He IS intent on bequeath-
ing to Russia before he dies legacy
from which she is never to shake her
of reaction bursts he Is determined
to put the peasants in possession OF
the land and to cripple the power of
capitalism in Russia by giving the
workmen rights that no government
will in the future dare to wrest from
them.

in this part of Russia formerly had

might be. and the Prussian officials
amused themselves by often giving

Trotzky Favors Class War.

In many ways Trotzky is more hu-

doctrines. He regards the war as not
one of nation against nation. but of

created, he will achieve salvation OF
the poor and oppressed not by con-

by that sense of the ridiculous which
leads most men along the path of
compromise. Lenine is untouched by
any sense Of humor. He cares moth

who are opposed to him. In the pur-
suit of his goal he will leave no stone
