made.

tivity all along the front are recorded

San Francisco. Jan. 30.--Profes-
sor Edward Ross, head of the sociol-

Wisconsin, who went to Russia six
months ago to study the Bolsheviki
for the American Institute of Social
Service of New York, said here Mon
day that the Bolsheviki movement is
not being promoted by German in
terests. as has been commonly re-
ported.
Liberty, world peace and indus
trial socialism are the inspiring mo-
tives back of the Bolsheviki Profes-
sor Ross said. Their platform ap-
parently is sound and the chief de-
terrent to its success has been the
refusal of many educated Russian to
take an active part in its work.
Professor Ross, who has Just re-
turned to America. said that if the
Bolsheviki regime is overthrown,
Russia probably will be consumed by
years of civil strife with the possi-
bility that the czar may return to
power

Knowing that the government

practically. 1t means much heavier
burden for those able to invest To
the last Liberty loan there were ap-
proximately $4,000 subscribers. II
this number should not he increased
for the coming drive. the prospective
quota means an averass investment
OF 81 900 apiece. II is an in
sible expectation.
"The way out Is to double
number OF subscribers. to comb
state with a fine tooth comb, to
ganize the state both by industI
and intensively The banks MT
measure each firms ability to invest
and tell them that is the amount as
signed.
The intensive organization must
get down to units OF 10 people per
local leader and must include card
index registration showing what each
person subscribed in the first and
second Liberty loans, what he is
willing to subscribe in the third and,
IL he is not willing. what Is his rea-
son and what HIS nationality.
Even a mans ownership of au-
tomobiles and the recentness OF his
investment in pleasure cars will be
considered Everything is to be given
publicity Names of subscribers and
possibly names OF non-subscribers

headings"
