THE BOLSHEVIST MENACE In
EUROPE.

Russia has suffered vastly more
from Bolshevism than from war. Will
Austria and Germany now have to go
through similar experiences? viii
all Of Continental Europe be swept
by the same devastating and blight
ing influence? viii England, too,
have her hands full in keeping down
the unrest of her laboring people? ?
Bolshevism. Wy which is meant a rev.
olutionary uprising OF the proletariat
against the propeTtied class. is world
wide in its threat. In limited meas
ure we have it in this country. The
/. w. w. and the revolutionary So
cialists are its exponents. Whatever
may be the conditions in other lands,
there is no real occasion here for
such propa sanda. The recent cleo
ton. in which but one Socialist was
elected to Congress, was a rebuke to
this radical, revolutionary element
and a demonstration of the sound.
ness of the peoples Judgment. But
conditions are different in Europe.
Germany played with fire when she
took up Lenine and Trotzky as her
pail agents, and famed the flames Of
Bolsheyism to bring about Russia s
destruction as an empire and a fight
ing force. She knew the danger If
Bolshevism spread. and she knew it
would spread. Germany reasoned,
doubtless, that she would have least
to fear because of her army, the dis
ciplined life of the people, the
strength OF her government and the
ease with which every insurrectory
manifestation could be put down. Had
Germany come out OF the war VIC
torious her calculations might have
proved correct, but as matters now
stand she helped release a force that
may work her own undoing, too. The
most recent dispatches, which tell
Of the seizure of the German navy
by q Workmen's and Soldiers Coun-
Gil justify this fear The Russian
revolution began in the fleet in pre-
cisely this way. The Russian revo-.
lutionists opened the door to chaos
and anarchy in abolishing, the mill
tary salute. The German revolution
lists have done the same thing.
Among all the belligerents there are
large elements that are sympathetic
to Bolshevism.-Chariton Bates Stray

BY HAROLD T.. BECHTOL.

London, Dec. S.-With a splinter
ing crash the huge liner-one of
the biggest-n the world-tore into
the United State Destroyer Shaw,
and through her. Thirty feet of the
destroyer's nose was sliced off.
Fire started Oil on the destroy
er's deck blazed furiously. Emer-
gency ammunition lying near the
four-inch gun was "kr- booming
at intervals.
And through the blazing oil, dis
regarding the explosions. knowing
that the magazine right under the
flames might let go any second.
scampered the destroyer's naval
crew-cool Americans who never
thought of quitting.
They picked up ammunition that
was as likely as not to go up in
their hands. and tossed 1t into the
sea. Their clothing often caught
fire from walking through the
flames. They beat it out and went
on working.
They did the job. The fire was
put out; the magazine didn't go off.
And minus a nose the Shaw limped
Into a British port backwards.
A lot of these young Americans
we're pretty badly damaged. So was
the Shaw. But they got her in.
Details are Told.
Admiral Sims staff now permits
publication of the whole story of the
Shaw collision. All the acts of hero
ism cannot be told; that would take
a book. And the men mentioned here
are no bravs~ than a lot of others on
that destroyer.
But these stories will give an idea

DESTROYER SHAW'S SACRIFICE
TOLD FOR THE FIRST TIME

of the kind of a scene that was en-
acted out there miles from land, after
that collision.
In the first place the Shaw sacri-
feed herself rather \ than take a
chance on ramming the liner. The
steering apparatus became jammed.
The commander saw his destroyer was
headed across the troopship's bow. II
he spceded up he might make it. But
he Was very likely not to make it and
ram the liner-pOssibly sending a lot
of soldiers to the bottom of the
ocean.
The other thing to do was to slow
down. That way he couldn't damage
the liner but he would probably be
cut in two. This all happened in a
few seconds and the steering gear
was jammed in such a way that the
destroyer wasn't travelling in a
straight line.
So the problem wasn't easy. But
the commander sized it up quickly
and slowed down. He succeeded in
maneuvering so skiIlfuIIy that only
the front end of the destroyer was
struck.
Thought of Liner.
His first thought was for tire liner.
He megaphoned up; from what was
left of his vessel:
Any damage to you. eir?"
Il don't think so. sir; I'm investi-
gating," replied the skipper of the
liner.
Then the oil on deck caught fire.
Flood the forward magazine"' was
the order.
That had TO be done from the chart
house, which was surrounded by fierce
flames and itself on fire Lieat. Comdr.
Van l.. Kirkman and Lieut. Edward
d. Riley and Ensign Ross Dierdorff
jumped into the flames. Kirkman got
the wrench on the flood cock but
the collision had jammed the mech
anism. She wouldn't turn.
1t had to be done. That meant
going through more fire and getting
more burns. But it was done. Three
others who assisted were Lieut..
Comdr H. G. Shonerd, Ensign T. C.
Briggs ond Carpenter G. R. Lytton.
The shells kept on deck alongside
the 4-inch gun were also popping all
this while. That wouldn't do. One
of them might set off the magazine.
The captain gave the order and these
four men walked over into the flames.
