and speeches and essays innumer-
able have extolled the Bolsheviki up
on this ground. The facts are, how
ever, that they are entitled to no
such credit, and that the so-called
Bolsheviki idealism Is not of Boil
sheviki nor even Of Russian origin.
The program of mo annexations, no
indemnities. and the self-determina-
ton OF peoples did not emanate from
the brain OF Lenine, Trotzky, or any
of their followers. They lack the
constructive minds necessary for the
formulation of such a program; their
minds are destructive, disordered.
and chaotic. Trotzky's book is a
most distressing literary exhibition OF
these qualities. The socalled Boil

adopted by the workmen's council in

Cannot Support Extension.
IBy J. w. T. Mason, United Press
War Expert
NEW YORK, June 3.-The fatal
lure Of Paris is enticing Won linden
burg into an extravagant extension
of his front that will prove far be-
yond the means of the German army
to support when Americas major Of
fensive starts for the Rhine.
The front between scissors and
Chateau Thierry. which is the near
est line to Paris, has begun to bulge
at its middle, like the stomach OF
glutton. Won Hindenburg's own
blood gluttonly is now being forced
to feed itself only at. this one sector
of the front. The other areas are
held secondary to the deep necessity
for reaching the environs of Paris.
Each mile by which Won linden
burg extends the new salient toward
Paris means the German general
staff must find six thousand more
men for its protection. Each mile,
therefore Of Won Hindenburg's new
advance means six thousand men
must be taken from the German re-
serves and placed permanently along
the battle front where they can no
longer serve for surprise attacks
such as were used in Picardy. Fland-
ers and Aisne offensives- The Ger
man front has now been extended
about thirty miles since the begin
ming of the Aisne attack. This means
10000 Germans have been perman-
emily transferred from the reserves
to the trenches
If the German casualties last week
be placed at 100, 900, the total deple-
ton of Won Hindenburg's reserves
must be placed at 100000.
With this number removed from
participating in future surprise OPP
erations, Won Hindenburg's power
for developing new offensives by
sudden shock operations has been
seriously impaired. A few more
miles Of German advance toward
Paris, therefore, contains no element
OF alarm for General Foch. AS long
as Won Hindenburg is permanently
halted at reasonable distance from
the French capital, it is he and not
General Foch who should do the wor-
rying in the future.
The strong resistance now being
developed by the French is not to
be regarded as q major counter at
tack but as normal defensive fight
ing.
Only as a desperate resort to save
vital positions would an allied major
counter attack be justified while
America is unable fully to participate.
When that time comes, counter at
tack" will be too meagre words to de-
scribe the allies operations.

CORRESPONDENT

Il IBy Carl II. CTOdl, OuiLSd 1888 S'AA
Corresondent.l
WASHINGTON, June S.-Hinden
burg is making new effort to have
I the Teuton navies back his lane
work, according to advices here TO
day.
He is urging that, regardless of the
cost, they attempt to cripple the
British sea power. Only by TINS
means, according to the argument ne
is reported to be making anew, can
the entente be actually crushed.
This is similar to the argument ne
used during the other drives. The
navy department here was advised
then of the struggle Hindenburg was
having with Won Capelle, at that time.
Responsible officials here believed
that Hindenburg would prevail. They
pointed out he did not care about
loss of ships, particularly If there
was ghost of chance OF the sea
offensive being successful and thus
browning his CORY efforts on the land.
That he may prevail eventually,
was the view of some here today.
The statement of Rear Admiral
Gleayes in New York last night that
Britain actually had been advised a
few days ago that the German ships
were coming out, drew much discuss
ion here early today.
That American ships would get a
place of honor in warding off such
q blow as he claimed, is certain.
With the possibility of an Inn
portant sea action ahead, military
men today took stock of the general
situation with a somewhat more OPP
tomistic spirit than they have had
for several days past.
The resistance to the Huns west
ward smash is stiffening as evil
denced by overnight reports Of sue
cessfu1 counter attacks; and the fact
that the Germans over Sunday failed
to make any considerable advances.

Truth About the eoIsheviki.

John SpargO, IN Harpers Maga-
zine: We have been far too toler-
ant in our judgments of the Boil
sheyiki. We have endowed them
with a glamour wholly without justi'
fication. Even the president OF the
United States has contributed to this
by paying to them tribute wholly
undeserved. For the president, the
excuse of political expediency may
perhaps be wisely invoked. 1t is
time, however. that the plain truth
was spoken concerning them.
Take. for example, the widespread
belief that, whatever their failings.
Lenine and Trotzky and their fol-
lowers are entitled to the credit OF
having first promulgated great con-
Istructive peace program. Sermons
