International Bolshevism.

To the Editor of The Star:
The fight with the Huns is over and
kaiserism crushed, but the war goes on,
war against internal enemies-the boil
shevism-L. w. W., who as agents of the
kaiser want to usurp power over the
whole world.
that enemy Down with Lenin. Trotsky
and consorts! The entire world is a
proof of what is going on. The kaiser's
agents are ringing the alarm bells and
publishing in the American press that
pogroms of the Jews are taking place in
Poland and Rumania. This is false;
they are not pogroms, but justice exer-
ciSed upon Prussian spies.
The people know their enemies; they
are all aware of those who replenished
the kaiser's treasures, devastated the
land, spied for the Prussians and deliv-
cred to the Huns thousands of Poles;
Serbs, Czechs, Belgians, RumanianS and
others. This can be proved. The Huns
have loSt-they do not want any Prus
sian spies, the bolsheviks in their own
country are forcing them to go outside
of their boundaries.
Germanism has fallen-bolshevism is
left in Poland and a Furnishing arm is
reaching out for it. In some parts JUS

is shown in dispatches, and few Jews

less, we can rest assured that "pogroms"
are not to be feared in Poland. If there
is any movement against the Jews, it
may be only in places not controlled yet
by the Polish government, where a mob
acting on first impulse take the upper
hand.
The Prussian spies must take their
punishment for all their wrongs; justice
must have its turn. The Prussian spies,
Jewish bolsheviks and others, protected
by the Germans, have for five years tor
mented the population. The Germans
are done with-the spies will have to be
tried also.
Jews that have lived and worked hon.
estly will stay untouched. The traitors
must atone their guilt. The noble
mon with the bolshevik bands. should
try to extinguish the fame. for con-
f1agration thus started may be burden
some as to consequences. Bolsheviks
who menace the whole world ought to
be unmasked and delivered to the proper
authorities instead of organizing an
armed force to fight the Poles who have
given domicile to the Jewish refugees
while other nations have expelled them.
The national polish department pro-
ish pogroms are not true. 1t is only a
fight between bolsheviks who want to
bring anarchism into Poland. POLAND"
they declared, 'sis at war with bolshe-
viSm and with various forms OF anarchy.
It. is also still at war with the Ukrain-
ians, who, under the leadership Of Ger

with Germany, did send an army against
Poland Unfortunately. perhaps the
bolshevik emissaries sent from Russia
into Poland have in many cases been
Jews, racialiy, though we appreciate
they have long ceased to follow the re-
ligious observances Of the faith. When
it happens that a people are protecting
their country and its frontiers from in
vading, marauding or looting forces. it
is impossible to segregate the enemy on
religious lines in order that the patriotic
forces be used only against the Chris
tians.
