KAISERISM HAS BEEN DEFEATED
NOW BOLSHEVISM is THE ENEMY

NTHILE the people Of the allied countries are znxiou
that their leaders let Germany off with no easy peac
there IS no disposition to be cruelty harsh All that Is de
sired is that Germany be adequately punished for III
crimes the people Of Germany have committed under i'm
peral direction The punishment must be administers
vita Such an even hand that the Germans
recognize its justice. Thus while Germany must nav r
the last farhing the allies must aid Germany in an eco
none sense so that the country may fall into total
zrchy. Food viii do it.
Many most readers have recognized ere this tina
great danger confronts all Europe It is the overthrow
the whole governmental social and economic order and tn
triumph Of rampant ignorant rabbIe of BosheviI Rad

chaos has engulfed Germany and Austria Look at tn,

brace has spread to Holland demanded the alb

elements Of it in England that the far-seeng London
Times than ago warned its conservative read
ing clientele that day coming when the British gov

ward the middle and upper classes Indifferent toward the
war and almost openly hostile to the government Doubt
less the statement exaggerated though the Times is
usually most accurate, because far the world

blaze possibly would have swept the country had British
fortunes in the sunk much lower than they did at the
height Of the German offensive last spring.
Socialism has strong hold in France, but despite the
tempeTamenta nature Of the French people, BOlshevism
has made little any Roadway there Perhaps it is be-
TONS Perhaps is because France remembers the bloody
time Of anarchy following the fall of the NapOleOnc
regime.
But the fact remains that Bolshevk doctrine has over
TUNED the greater part Of Europe and threatens the
calamity to the remainder If it is not checked That the
leaders the allied countries realize this is shown bv the
the allied lines and refused permission surrender.

propaganda and the liberal minded American army
commanders are sending them away the bsyonets point
The spread Of Bolshevsm in Europe easily accounted
for Compress spring strongly and then release a1d it
strongly IN the opposite direction The Russians
and the Germans and the Acknowledgements the
springs Those peoples have been pressed down strongly
by their autOras that when the pressure suddenly
moved BY the weakening OF the autocrac power the re
action in the opposite direction is violent Push pendu

swings the opposite extreme The peoples that
have gone mad with socialism have merely changed from

Now there IS less danger Of successful BosheTs the
liberal the government in which it seeks undertake
revolution. The less the pendulum pushed in dec
tion the less It swings back the other way While there
are in the most democratic countries elements which
nolerant Of any orderly restraint whatever they make
little headEay because most Of their fellow citizens desire
only slight changes in the government, being otherwise
satisfied That is the the Industrial Workers Of
the World who are the American Bolshev and fur
nshed many Boshsvi leaders to- Russia, have made no
headvay with their demands for nationwide Strikes their
mine and overturn the government of the United States
The American people almost completely satisfied with
their government and back mp loyalty One reason they
satisfied is that the of the American people Is
intelligent enough to recognize and appreciate good gov
srnrnent In some other countries Europe for instance
lower classes which not intelligent enough to
recognize appreciate good government and there Boil
hevism presents its where it has not already &C

The discussion leads to this It is quite important

stamped ont as that kaiserism be eliminated. If ex

That is why he put out his sensational proposal that
compromise peace effected between the central powers
md the allies so that order might be restored while the
governments still strong.
Perhaps It was selfish Of Lansdowne. Maybe the mar

account and his broad and stately mansions
Certainly his proposal lily received by any but the pac
fists and strangely by the very Bolshevh whom he most
aed and dreaded They wanted peace too The rest OF
he peoples commended snely that the must be fought
through until the eternal principles Of night were COM
letsv triumphant However Lansdowne at least must be
eded with certain clarity Of vision and what he feared
sweeping Europe The allies must do their utmost to
eliminate it. This can not be done by cutting It off above
