RUSSIAN SOCIALISM IS A TYRANNY
WORSE THAN ROMANOFFS CREATED.

SOCIALISM is making bloody failure in Russia Muir
= der, and robbery common occurrences The
Boshevid leaders, Lenine and Trot and their suoceis
saughterng hundreds Of bouTgeose, burning telr
iOmes Tobbing them Of all they possess BOuTgeose are
middle class folks land owners factory propetoTs shop
keepers professional men and their faHes army ana navy
officers The in Russia is not confined to people OF
the middle class but also to those Of wealth and e-O
anybody IN fact who has little money and little prop
srty; 10 anybody not N the rabble.
The BoshevH deny being paid agents Of Germany and
ieclare they exponens Of pure socialism They
all in Russia who not Bolshevih Of openly OF
secretly aiding the CzehoSovak campaign and the entente
allies and Of seeking TO overthrow the socialist rule IN Rus
order restore the monarchy with all its evils.
Ksrensy did believe in shedding Russian blood except
battle for the defence Of the country against German and
Austrian invasion.
The Bolshev have taken very different policy They
ere engaging IN wholesale slaughter of Russians BY
slams partly n order to uphold niquitous peace made
favor Of Germany and Austria Irotzky has declared that
Moscow viii be reduced to ruins necessary to crush out
any opposition. In PerogTad many dozen great
hres have been raging various parts of the city.
In both Moscow and Petrograd, firing squads have been
busy day and night shooting those accused being
antBolshevi These people murdered accusation
They receive trial II most instances according
liable advices from diplomatic and other sources.
But whether Lenine and Trotzky personally
German agents. It appears that Russia is safe for
Germans than If is for the entente allies and safe
allies than it is for the Russians Socialism has
gone mad and turned into the violent anarchy
anarchy, however, under violent and desperate leadership
So unsafe for Germans is Russia that count Mrbsch Ger
ambassador murdered by Of the revolutionary
sociaistc factions now his successor Dr. Karl Helf
feoh has rushed back Berlin inform his government
he stay in Moscow where his life is constantly in
danger If Lenne and TTozky want to protect Germans
they unable to DO 1t, evidently.
Russians who utterly Tabd have been forced TO
adopt Of self defence against being murdered and
cessation Of raPine and slaughter It remains to be seen
whether they IN the meantime, 1t appears that
the only hope for the salvation Of Russia lies the aid
which the allied and Czecho-SioTsk military forces can
bring Where they are they have restored order They
are carrying peace and justice into the territories where
they arc advancing
News Of every fresh landing Of American and other allied
forces IN Russia IS good because it brings the
day when anarchy VIII be Overhrown and the forces
Of Russia brought into power This does not necessarily
restoration Of the Romanoffs a setting up Of
monarchy presided by any other family The western

democracy But It shall be whatever form Of government
the majority Of the Russian people If monarchy
let them have It; if republic well and good One of the
war aims OF the entente allies TO provide Tor the peoples
Of the earth the opportunity choose for themselves the
kind Of government they prefer.
As sidsght On the Russian Chaos It IS interesting to
note that Eugene Y. Deb Socialist leader in the United
States Socialist candidate for presidents opponent Of war
and Of CONSUMPTION, would-be stumbling block in Amer
icas path toward victory German desposm, remarked
Wednesday his trial at Cleveland that he N syn
patty with the Russian Bolshevid. How any not
insane ymPathze with such bloody runOus program
as the Bolhey have lnaugrated IS past comprehension
and Debs puts horrible stigma upon socialism in the United
States By his assertion An additional stigma might
for he has already disgraced his following and his
country BY his left hand assistance 10 the enemy.
Socialism has failed IN Russia because Socialism
government BY all the people and for the benefit Of al the
people equally, materially and politically. Under the rule
Of Socialism Russia has become despotism than
before. Socialism and despotism completely opposed
therefore when socialism turned into despotism socialism
disappeared The rule Of the Boshevk leaders constitutes
vanous dictatorship The present rulers Of Russia
are tgTTanica than the Romanoffs They
more cruel and boodrsty than the worst Of Nicholas
heads Of government dared be- The administration Of
Russia the wanton unjust mercess IN the modern
history Of the world Nicholas was good compared
Trotzky Peter the Great positive saint Catherine II
vas wise, lenient and loving ruler compared with
-euine
The wonder is that all the Socialists Of the world
Tepudiaed the BolsheT whose has baekened
socialism for centuries 70 come
