return to Russia from this country, where
he had been lecturing on his fathers theo-

that he thought would please the Bolsheviki,
but he very soon found that to please them
was impossible His paper was suppressed,
his friends and employees were arrested
or sought safety in fight, and he was
branded as an anti-revolutionary and had
to go into hiding. Finally he got on
Swedish steamer and was able to join his
family in Sweden. When he got there
he gave his opinion of the Bolsheviki.
"The Socialist experiment is running
Russia" he said. THE country is being
reduced to Wilderness, thanks to Boshe-

of the greatest amount Of suffering the
world has ever known There are doubt

MOvE:MEN STIRS
UP MUCH RES EMINENT
Little Patriots Are Grieved
Because They Cannot Give
AS Much AS Companions.

Hammond is thoroughly stirred UP
over the entrance of war fund drive in
the city schools by way of what is
known as the Victory Boys and Girls
movement. a national organization. -
There is much resentment among par
ents with from two to FIVE children in
school by reason of the fact that in
some schools teachers gave the childI en-
to understand that they were not pa
triotic unless they pledged SIS apiece for
the Victory Boys and Girls. Many
families gave their children a dollar
apiece TO contribute and a number
did pledge themselves to give IS. this
aroused a feeling Of chagrin on part
of the children who could not con-
tribute that much. Many of them came
home in tears and there are some
mighty indignant parents in the town.
There were three classes OF pledges and
three kinds Of buttons and cards and
as it is a mighty hard thing to make
children understand why there were
preferred cards and buttons. plenty Of
heart wounds were given as a child
whose father Is poor man can have
Just es much pride as a child whose
father is able to give more. 1t is believ-
ed by those in a position to know that a
great deal of harm has been done by the
Victory Girls and Boys movement into
the public schools and they declare that
the solicitations should have been made
outside of the scnool.

HUNGRY
War Expert Says 1t Is a
Question Only of How
Little Food Should Be
Given by the World.
BY ]. w. T. MASON.

UNITED PRESS WAR EXPERT.
NEW YORK. Nov. 20.-The demo-
cratic movement in Germany may be
seriously impeded and perhaps fatally
handicapped If America and the allies
mands of the German people.
The world cannot deliberately let Ger
many starve. but without permitting
famine to exist the democratic nations
should compel the German people to
know what partial hunger means for a
long time to come. The Germans at
home have not had the full taste OF war.
Their territory has not been invaded ex-
cept for a small part of east Prussia
and they know the personal meaning of
the conflict chiefly because of food de-
privations.
The German nailitarists are carefully
watching for an opportunity to return
to power. The fact that Alsace-Lor-
raine and Prussian Poland are to be ia
ken from the German empire is not pre-
venting the militarists from counting
upon the future territorial expansion of
Germany through the annexation OF
Austria. The German people have not
shown any spirit of conversion to paci-
fsm. except such as had been forced on
them. The new government at Berlin
has not removed a single high militarist
from his post of authority.
If. under this condition, the German
nation is fattened by plentiful supplies
of food. there is good reason to believe
the militaristic spirit will be revived and
the German people viii again become a
world menace. Hunger Is a good tonic
for German democracy. Hunger for
many months ought to be enforced upon
the German people. Not starvation. but
hunger Enough food should be with
held from the Germans to cause them to
taste a little of the suffering they have
brought upon the rest of the world. 1t
on ght not to be a question Of how much
food should be sent to Germany, but
how little.
