Word Means Wildness.

Bolshevism, he told his audience in
inca / OF his experience in Russia,
Is an exaggerated form Of American
socialism, lacking its intelligence and
Its direction. Bolshevism. he added,
was a name given to the organization,
meaning wildness, and it Is no mis-
ome
THE achievements OF the ~Bolshevists,
he said, had proved remarkable in revo-
lutionizing Russia. When Kerensky fell
a victim to his i%nordinate ambition, the
Bolshevists began to say among them
selves: why should the president Of
a bank receive more pay than the man
who fires the bank furnace? Why
should the president of the railroad re-
ceive more pay and work SHORTER hours
thar the man who mends the road
bed? What these people own Is the re-
suit Of our labor, so we shall divide It
among ourselves II we do not want it
or can not use It, we shall destroy t."
So the Bolsheviki changed the order
of things, The street car conductors
year and the mayor OF the city $4,000
a year. The plain laborers are the ones,
he said. who principally patroniZed the
street cars in Petrograd n the bur
den fell upon them to pay the in
Work Only Few Hours.
So. he continued to relate, they
counseled among themselves AGAIN
and said; we have been working Il
or II hours a day for small wage so
we shall hereafter work eight or six
hours II It is difficult work. That was
the official rule but the actual time
given to work was only three to four
hours.
According to the speaker the print
ing presses that produce Russian cur
rency are the only things that work
yoyNlarly and thew work overtime He
told OF a friend who sold an alarm
clock that he bought in the United
states for 81 to a peasant for 500 In
addition to being a dollar clock, II didn't
run.
The result, according to the sneake~.
ia that scarcely ANYBODY in Russia
works any more, Money is carried
around in bundles, There is verv little
food to he bought and mighty little

The price the consumer in Chicago

MEAT INDUSTRY MAY
SOON BE TAKEN OVER

Philadelphia, Jan. 5.-That the fed
eral government intends shortly to
take over the meat industry of the
United States-one of the principal
necessities of war time-appears more
and more evident as the federal trade
commissions probe of the "meat
trust continues.
This view obtained tonight strongly
at the conclusion of three DAYS in
vestigation into the local meat situa-
tion here.
Before leaving for Washington. en-
route for st. Paul, where the investf-
cation Is to be resumed next wednes-
day, Francis ]. Heney, special prose-
cutor for the commission, said anyone
could see the turn the investigation has
taken"
Evidence taken here during three
days consecutive grilling Of witnesses
tended to substantiate the evidence
taken elsewhere-that a big coterte or
Chlcago meat packers share virtually a
monopoly OF the meat business of ths
country; that the independent pack
ers have been squeezed" until thew
are on the verge of going out of bust
ness; that prices are regulated at the
dictation of the trust moguls" and
that these packers are holding vast
stores of hides while leather and shoe
prices are soaring.

MEXICAN TROOPS
AFTER THE INDIANS

Nogales, Ariz., Jan. 5.-MeXlcos
greatest man hunt is well under prep
aration tonight. Picked troops of the
state of Sonora are being modified to
give chase to the 700 Yaqui Indians
who last Wednesday swept down upon
a Southern Pacific train near Payahaya
and perpetrated one of the bloodiest
massacres Mexico has known. One
hundred and seven persons were muir
dered, two of whom were Americans,
and "a wounded.
This was the report here tonight said
to have emanated semi officially from
Governor Gales. The report came
with the last trainload of wounded and
suffering survivors.
Mrs. ]. d. Rene, wife of an Ameri-
can physician at Mazatlan, told a
graphic story of the outrage.
"Three times the savages swept
through the train, screaming, murder
ing, robbing and stripping bodies of
living and dead and brutalizing women
and girls there before our very eyes,
she related THE scene was indescrib-
able"
One aged man pleaded on his knees
for the lives of his daughters. He was
struck down dead with a revolver and
his two daughters led away, witnesses
declare.
RlDDLED WITH BULLETS.
H. ]. Poe, Los Angeles travelling
man, was riddled with bullets.
Mrs. Renex, who escaped unscathed,
owes her life to her presence of mind.
At the first shots she threw herself
~ %
crawled and lay upon his body,
feigning death. Indians seized her APP
parently limp form, tore her clothes
off and left her nude, only small
garment shielding her money and
Jewels. Those who escaped employed
the same trick and thus saved them
selves, and the savages slew all who
showed life, continuing the massacre
| two hours.
Everywhere the dead lay, naked.
Many were buried at the scene of the
massacre before the train proceeded.
Passengers insist at least 80 women
and girls were carried into captivity
and the missing and unidentified dead
probably may never be checked, since
dozens Travelled on military passes and
no count was kept Of these.
The American wounded are at EN-
paine. The American dead were
buried at Guayamas.

out. But there are many man who.
while arguing for continuance. believe
that the affair IL slipping out OF their
hands into the hands of the diplomats.
IN ANY EVENT, 1T is NOW
LARGELY UP TO GERMANY.
She must make her choice. II she
believes the allied terms too much for
her. she can fight on. but with the in
evitable result that with fresh Amer
lean resources coming on all the time
the pendulum Of victory will swing
against her in the end, the authorities
say.
Peace without victory was at one
time President Wilson's idea of what
the outcome should be. Subsequently,
he declared there could be no peace
without victory, but in the same
breath said that in accomplishing this.
the allied powers must see that in
justice is done to none.
SUFFICIENT VICTORY.
Lloyd Georges terms, 1t is held,
promise justice, and If they can be
accomplished, along with freeing the
Teuton nation of the kaiser's bloody
control, and the world Of it's menace
then there would be sufficient victory
for the allies and the United States
say the experts.
In diplomatic quarters 1t was re-
garded that Lloyd George himself had
raised an insuperable barrier when he
declared that the sanctity of treaty
must be restored. This, the diplomats
said, could not be done with a regime
in power which held treaties to be
scraps Of paper"
However, some diplomats-one Of
them a prominent allied representa-
tive-said where there Is so much
peace smoke, there must be some fire,
and there is certainly a lot of smoke" "
CLEAR, SPECIFIC STATEMENT.
State department officials protested
to regard Lloyd Georges statements
as standardization of many previous
by Clemenceau, Lloyd George and
President Wilson and they added, they
did not regard it as a peace move, but
instead as clear, specific statement
of war aims. However, they did not
attempt t. help guide newsTape COM
ment, as they sometimes have, and
this may be a significant fact. Gen.
orally they have thrown peace talk
down hard Today they pleaded that
they had no time to digest the speech
and warned the press that it would be
unwise to attempt to deduce much
from the talk until it had been digested
and until sentiment had been crystal
lized.
The rehabilitation process, in-so-
far as Washington was concerned, ap-
peared. however. to be rapid-and
chiefly along the line that the war,
while perhaps with a year or two to
run, was getting down close to the
peace table stage.
The view was held that Lloyd
George had given Germany's allies,
| Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria, q
strong invitation to cut loose from
| their autocratic ally and make a sep
| arate peace. This, 1t was held, would
force Germany to accept the allies
peace terms.
