Principles Lead to Chaos.
The world has had an example of
the utter chaos which the principles
OF Lenin and Trotsky and their type
can work. 1t is these principles
which today are being spread among
the more unenlightened elements of
various European countries. From
these mischiefmakers, sitting smugly
in power in Moscow. there have gone
forth emissaries throughout the civ
3lized world to preach the gospel Of
sedition and anarchical methods in gov

In those regions of Europe about

visits have found fruitful fields. Here
many peoples mistake liberty for
license. and unless quick, sharp
check is taken upon the situation it
may get without bounds in an amaz-
ingly short period.
While combating the evil effects of
bolShevik preachments in those re-
gions most susceptible to sugar.
coated but nevertheless poisonous
guile, there is every indication that
the allied nations intend to press
home the final eXterminatinS blow
against the fountainhead of influences
which have ruined Russia and now
seek to wreck the hopes of the entire
world-at least plunge it into a state
that would takesdecades to rectify.
Allies Surrounding Bolsheviki.
Allied forces are edging toward the
central part of Russia from the re-
gions of Archangel; allied forces in
Siberia and those of loyal Russians
who now have taken complete control
of the Omsk government through the
dictatorship of Admiral Alexander
Kolchak form a northeastern wall
over which the bolsheviki cannot
hope to pass. In Ukraine, which mas
been under the domination of the Ger
mans since last May through the seat

the forces Of the rejuvenated Russia
have wrested Kiev from the enemy
and forced the surrender of those in

may be seen that the allies also now
