THE WORK OF THE soLsAEvlkl

A glaring instance of the tail wag- ging the dog is furnished by the bol- shevik dissolution by force of the
 constituent assembly nt Petrograd. Elected by the people to represent them in drawing up constitution for the country the members of the as- sembiy were found to be against the bolsheviki by . large majority. That was enough. The bolsheviki saw the necessity of taking drastic action and they did so before those who opposed them had chance to perfect an or gan,zation to overthrow them. Not Dnly did they bring to an abrupt end lhe session of the assembly but they took advantage of their presence in Petrograd to put out of the way some of the prominent leaders of the oppo- sitiop, that such advantage as they possessed might be further increased
 This is only bound to add to the chaotic conditions of Russia. It can be attributed to the fact the minority vas organized while the majority was

Meantime in their essay in inter- national politics the Russian extref1- fHts are no nearer success.

Who will not loan or give,
And is so pcnurious, II seems,

or the air TO all so free,
That "Uncle Sam" does not tax,
But awaits patiently to see
If the purse strings will relax
To help and give to cause so just
The "d0ughboys" are defending,
Over the seas, in God they trust,
A victory to gain in the ending.
Then do not be II Stacker boy,
But come out true and bold,
And hand out all your alloy,
For "Uncle Sam" to hold.
To feed and keep his soldiers warm,
Guns and shells close at hand,
That the Huns may take alarm,
And go back to their Rhinc-land.
"Unclc Sam" has good scent,
When searching out your money,
He can smell an old copper cent
Just as the moth does the honey.
So shell out your old coppers,
Your nickcls and your dimes,
1t takes these to make the dollars,
Your "Unclc Sam" will not decline.
Your gold in vaults or buried in
tombs,
When your will is probated,

For "Unclc Sam" will have it segre-

Then do not still refuse,
And "Uncle Sans" ire awake,
His patience still abuse
For your Poney he will take.
And if that will not suffice
Your life is in his hands,
Which you may have to sacrifice;
On the seas or or in foreign land.
And 'Uncle Sam" may not put you
where
David of old did put Uriah
In the front ranks or in the air,
Where you will receive the cnemie.

Then think not you can escape,
His piercing and searching eyes,
He sees afar and will note tie plac,
Where your hidden treasure lies.
All, be man of courage,
And take a friends advice,
Your "Uncle Sam" do not discourag,
But generously make the sacrifice.
For "Uncle Sam" is slow 70 anger,
AS you arc we'll aware;
But if you raise his "dander,"
He will surely pull your hair.
Then do not be astonishcd,
When his inspector comes around
For you have been admoniGhed
He will take your last gold crown.
