RUSSIAN NDOLSHEV|KI
NOT SUCCESSFUL IN
ATTEMPT ALLIANCE
Essential Factor In Anarchis-
tic Theory Has Made Little
impression On Germans.
BY ]. W. 7. Mason

(Writtcn for the United Press)
New York, Dee. l0,--The efforts OF
the leaders of the Russian bolsheyiki
to strengthen themselves at home by
forming an effective alliance with the
extremist factions in Germany are not
proving successful. The Germans are
adopting some Of the outward forms
of the bolsheyik governmental system
Ianl the administration Of Germany by
the bolshevik method of local soviets
ls now in operation. But the essential
factor IN the bolshevik theory, that
the workingmen should possess all po.
liical power and should abolish tho
Imildlc and upper classes, has made no
marked impression upon the Germans.
Silent Conflict Exits
There is now proceeding a silent but
persistent conflict between the boil
sheyik idea of class war and the Ger
man idea Of ordeIlness rs to which
shall dominate the other 'lhe soviet
principle of extensive self government
in local administrative areas has prob
ably been accepted by tho Germans for
good. But, having gone THIS far, the
Germans are now planning to dominate
reformed Russia.
1t is highly probable thar If the boil
sheviki do not in the end throw. Ger.
many into turmoil the Germans will
impress an orderly influence upon the
Russians. THIS viii mean the inevitable
spread of German influence in Russia
and may well lead to SO sttong an at
lance as viii threaten Europe with a
NEW German menace.
Russia Now Isolated
Russia is now isolated by the rest Of
the world. The Russians undoubtedly
believe they have a grievance against
the western democracies.
They imagine they are icing punish
cd because their own ideas of demoe-
racy are far in advance 81 western
ideas. Whether they are right or wrong
! il cannot be advantageous to Amcri
ca and the allies to permit Russia TO
linger in that belief and be slowly
starved into the arms of Germany. In.
stead Of helping the Germans and thus
giving Germany an opportunity 70
help Russia, to her own advantage, the
western governments ought to Offer
material assistance to the bolsheyiki
( by whatever method the Russian GOV.
ernment suggests. In the long run this
/ is no more than policy of self in
tercst.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason
TALK ON PRIVATION.

Are claims of sacrifice all fibs? | see around me men
and DANES who have must fat upon their ribs and costly
rags upon their frames. Their silks and feathers still they
flaunt, and wear fine lids upon their domes, and talk of
how the wolf of want is bowling by their humble homes.
We eat as much as in the times when peace was here, with
all its charms, before the Prussian's beastly crimes led
Uncle Sam to take up arms. And when we've slowed
away a steak, and packed some pie and pudding down,
we think we've made some tyrant quake because the
bread we ate was brown. The clothes we wear, it seems
to me, are just as gaudy as they were before our boys
went DER the sea to fill the air with German fur. We're
just as keen to blow the mon as though we hadn't any
foes; we take in every brand Of fun from prize fights
down to movie shows. We talk as though our souls were
set on putting Wilhelm on a crutch, but have you seen a
fellow yet who looks as though he'd suffered much?
Wen talk Of sacrifice, no doubt, until the morn of peace
has dawned; and meanwhile every loyal scout should
miss no chance to buy a bond.

PAYMENT IN FULL.

Germany must pay. She must pay for every ship
torpedoed, for every cargo sunk u~nlawfuly, for every
house blown up by a Zeppelin or airplane bomb, for every
building shattered by her "starfe" guns, for every town
burned, for every church and cathedral destroyed, for
every farm house RACED, for every bridge smashed, for
every piece of machinery wrecked, for every piano brok-
en- and picture slashed, for every book and rug and table
cloth torn and defiled, for every orchard cut down.
She must give compensation in full for all her I'M
provoked unlawful and inexcusable arson, pillage and de-
molition of civilian property in every part of the earth
air. She must pay also for the wholesale manning, en-
shaving and numbering Of noncombatants. 1t is the de-
cree Of the allied powers, as a principle precedent to any
peace arrangements.
Nothing definite is said about compensation for pub
lie property, nor re~paration for the slaughter OF defen
siye armies. Those items may come Later.
If the payment required is estimated to cover no
more than the calculable material damage done to civilian
property, and life, it will make an indemnity greater than
any ~belligerent until lately would have dreamed OF sui,
fering or imposing. The calculation OF such damages Will
be a task of many months, possibly OF years. The total
NAV we'll equal the present German national debt. All
that we can be sure of is that it will amount to billions
and billions and billions.
open--- because the militarists led her people upon a course
Of world conquest. They have rebeled, it is true, but only
when the sword Of retribution was at their Threats.
Germans must pay in full, but when it is considered
that they have ridded themselves of the kaiser and all his
retinue Of royalists and privileged classes, OF the vast
standing army and naval establishment they will be the
gamers in the long run. In a few years a regenerated
Germany may pay the staggering bills that the Hohen-
zolerns were responsible for; become prosperous and con-
tented if her people retain and cherish the principles OF
true democracy.

Silverton, Nov. 12.-Last Thursday
when the report reached mere about
noon that Germany had surrendered,
ISilverton was up and ready to celebrate
the victory. In less than an hour the
streets were lined with people. Every
business house was closed for the day.
All mills ceased operation in honor of
the occasion. Bells rang, whistles sound

could make a noise was put into oper-
alton. When it was learned that the re-
port of Germany's signing the armis-
tice was false the enthusiasm sub sid
ed somewhat, yet no nj seemed down
hearted. 1t seemed certain that victory
was not far off. Yesterday morning all
were assured Of the long looked for
peace. Bells sounded long before day
light; men, women and children began
pouring into the streets ut an early
hour, and soon a real celebration was
on. The mills closed down at eight a.
m. but the business houses remained
open until noon. The business men held
