BOLSHEVIKI BLOW
STAGGERS RUSSIA

OF all industry in Russia, the reduc-
ton is even more stratling Before
the war Russia produced annually
100000, 600 puds OF coal and $780,.
100000 puds of iron. Present Russia
can produce only 5oO,OO0,OOO puds of
coal and 7O,OOo,oO0 puds of iron.
Wipes Out Development.
These figures mean that Russia's
industrial development OF the past
twenty years is practically wiped out
as a result of the 4th year of the
war-the sabotage of the Russian
peace program and the policy of the
bolsheviki
The big question now is whether
Russia can withstand such blood
letting. In opposing the forces of
imperialism she faces her severest
battle for political and economic in
dependence. Only the speediest re-
organization of the nations physical
and human material can prevent Rus
sia's falling into the status of China
or Turkey.
The task is too big for the bG-she.
wiki. Only the united efforts of the
whole democracy of the country by
means Of real constituent assembly
can save her.
The 4th year of the war saw Rus
sia's great revolution and Russia's
great fall. 4
Will the fifth year be the year Of
her awakening?

New York Players Can Run Fast

Jim Thorpe Doubts If Any Man Can

There is no such thing as a ten-sec-

there Is not man in the major leagues
who can run 100 yards in a baseball
uniform in less than 1Is seconds.
"There are men on the New York
club who can so from the plate to
first at a rate Of speed averaging less
than IL seconds, but they could not
keep 1t up for 100 yards. Perritt tho
pitcher has a record OF ten fiat on
the cinder path, but he could not do
the distance in IL in his baseball
clothes.
"One hundred in IL seconds is fast
travelling. 1t takes training to do
that, When I was at my fastest, and
in the best of shape I could never

Same goes for football, even more
so, as football togs weigh more than

hind in the 900, but in football uni-

CANT0MMENTS WILL

If anyone doubts that base
ball is the American national
game, the doubter should take
look at the plans made by the
commissions on training camp

departments. Every one of1the,
million and half men under
training in this country will in

time or another during the pres
ent season. h9fe
1t is estimated that approx
mately $4,000 balls will be used

games in the course of the sea-
son. This figure is arrived at
by estimating that there are
over 400 companies in training
in the various camps, and multi

is the number Of baseballs
the training camp commission
is planning to furnish each unit,
in addition TO gloves and bats.
Many more of course will be
supplied the men themselves,
and these will bring the number
nearer 10000, it is believed.

really out Of the war in 1916, when
moro than million soldiers deserted

censorship prevented the truth from
becoming known to the world at tN 4t

The tremendous shaking up of the
already disorganized national fabric
caused by the revolution, in addition
to the many complications both in
ternal and external from which the
revolution found itself unabio to es-
cape-when peace was most needed
in order to solve these numerous
problems and repair the terrible con-
sequences of war-opened the road
to bolshevikism and threw Russia
into the clutches Of German Impe
rialism, whose seal was finally set
with the Brest-Litovsk treaty.
So far as military operations in
the year -917-1S are concerned, there
were hardly any worth the name

drive towards Haliez, which really

army now appeared complete. The
failure of the offensive proved to

and Korniloff's subsequent advance J
upon Petrograd served to pour oil on
the bolshevikist flames, Shortly bel
fore the latter circumstance, Riga
had been taken, and Korniloff had
been accused of deliberately sur
rendering it in order to arouse anti !
bolshevil1 resentment and halt the
growth of bolshevik propaganda |
These events, plus the German at

Russians with considerable losses
parried, finished their military opera
