THE BoLsHEv1K1 IN KANSAS

THE BoLSHEvIKI IN KANSAS
The Bolsheviki have invaded
Kansas.
The American counterpart of the
movement which paralyzed Russia
and released 100000 German sol
diers for use on the western front is
busy here.
Only last week President Wilson
received official information that
Nicolas Lenine, head Of the Russian'
Bolshevists, had undertaken to
spread his doctrines in the United
States and is being financed by mil
lions in German money, according
to Washington dispatches.
Last fall Wichita had it's first
taste of Bolshevism when the fed
erdl authorities here raided the
headquarters of newly established
|. w. w. in the Butler county oil
fields. seizing a great quantity of
discriminating literature 1t was
proven that the plan was to gain
lob control at the oil fields, in
cite class hatred apd Industrial
disturbance and hinder or stop the
production of fuel oil, which is one
of the prime war essentials.
The I. w. w. doctrines are. al
most precisely the same as those of
the Russian Bolsheviki. The pur-
pose is to set up such great dis
turbance and unrest that the pros
ecutiOn of the war will be hinder
ed and the United States forced to
accept an inconclusive peace. Glass
hatred is the keynote of the pro-
paganda, and it is being played up
In every. possible manner
The partners Of the l. W. W. are
the Nonpartisan League and the
radical socialists.
With the avOwed purpose of gain
ing lob control in the wheat fields
as in the oil fields, an agreement
was affected last summer between
the I. w. w, and the Non-P Partisan
League Arthur LeSueur, general
attorney for the 1. w. w. and one Of
the heads of the socialist college at
Fort Scott, is also executive secre-
tary Of the Non Partisan League He
said to the I. w. w. at that time:
|- IF we can come to some under
standing with the Non-Partisan
League OF North Dakota it will
mean the balance Of power will be
shifted from the state government
to the Industrial Workers Of the
World and the Non-Partisan Lea

known, though some of the cats are
being used for experimental work in
the government laboratories.
The municipal dog shelter in Balti-
more is furnishing, on an average, rs
dogs a week, and an effort is being
made to secure as many cats.
All dogs at the dog shelter on Co
vington street were requisitioned by
the bureau of mines at Washington
six weeks ago when 112 dogs were to
ken. Since then all that have been
collected in the city have been turned
over to the government agents.
The bureau of mines in asking for
them asserted that they would pay
all expenses Of shipping, which great
ly lessons the burden here as the dogs
do not have to be killed as heretofore.
Licensed dogs which are picked up
are held for Is days before being sent
away, but strays are shipped as soon
as received. Sick or MANNED animals
are not wanted and they are killed.
Before the government asked for
these animals, only dogs were taken
by the "dogs catchers" throughout Bal
timore Now, however, the felines are
more desired by the government than
are the dogs. Kittens are not desired
but especially are the nice fat tabbies
wanted. So if any housewife desires
TO be really patriotic all she has to do
is to put kitty in sack and call the
"dog catcher"
