HOW BOLSHEvIKI
SOCIALISTS USED THEIR
POWER IN RUSSIA

1t does not seem to be understood,
either in America or in England.
that there have been more men,
women and children murdered in the
present Russian revolution during
the last six months than in all the
years OF the reign of terror in France,
says "Ex-Attache" in an article re-
Gently published. The horrors of the
French revolution at the close OF the
eighteenth century pale beside those
of the revolution in Russia now in
progress. They have been far worse
and more varied.
In the revolt of the Baltic feet the
admiral and most OF the officers were
thrust down holes in the ice. after
being subjected to the most excruti-
ating torture. A general had his
hands cut Off and, after being carried
round the town. was hacked to pieces
In the presence of his wife and little
children. Another general was stoned
to death In his carriage in the streets
of Moscow. and another was literally
torn to fragments by the mob In the
suburbs Of the old metropolis.
Officers, helpless civilians and
landed proprietors have been muir
dered by the wholesale under circum-
stances of indescribable atrocity,
banks have been looted, debts repu-
dated, foreign property seized and
confiscated, houses and shops plum
dered OF their contents, churches and
cathedrals desecrated and looted
monasteries and converts defiled,
lands appropriated, the owners mas
sacred, with their castles and manor
houses burned to the ground or
blown up; the foreign envoys at
Petrograd subjected to every indig-
nifty. robbed Of their possessions and
Of their archives, some Of them even
thrown into prison, and finally as
climax the bolsheviki leaders, now
definitely proved to have been all
along in the pay Of the kaiser, have
betrayed their entire country into
the hands of the Germans, decreeing
the rehabilitation OF the army and
opening the way for the advance OF
the kaiser's troops on Petrograd,
Moscow and Kiev.
All the arms, all the supplies, fur |
nished by the United States and the |
allies have been turned over by the
holsheviki, almost intact, TO our fees, |,
the Germans, and the bolsheviki |
have never lost any occasion OF ex-
pressing in the most unmeasured
terms their bitter hatred of the
United States as the land above all
others Of that arrogant and tyran-
nical capital which they execrate |
loore than anything else in the
world.

-
German leaders lie outrageously
whenever II suits their convenience
but where nothing In particular II to
De lost they may sometimes tell the
truth. For instance, when General
Won Ludendorff, second in command
OF the German armies, recently made
some observations OF the nature OF
the present day warfare, he did not
go far wrong. .Fs
Modern wars are not won by
armies but thru the decay and col
lapse OF nations" said the general.
1t was the collapse and decay OF
Russia that brought about the con-
quest Of that country--not SO much
Its decline in potential military or
economic resources. With q rational
government Russia could have fought
on indefinitely and very effectively.
Bolshevism was the morphine in
jection-the wild dope dream that
caused Russia's democracy to be-
come paralyxed and give way to I'm
potent dissipation. People who de-
fend Bolshevism and offer maudlin
pity for the leaders OF that move
ment are as sensible as those who
would advocate that the head of the
family should take an injection of
some narcotic when thugs threatened
to break into his house and assault
his family. They are so obsessed
with the beautiful Utopian dreams
that they utterly ignore the harsh
challenge OF the impending peril.
Let us go to sleep into some kind
OF dream-peace and maybe things
will come out all right" Is the gist
OF their argument.
1t Is the stern duty of America to
realize that this Is war of the peo-
pie. Every man must fight in some
way. There must be unity OF pur-
pose and an intense determination
not to be led aside by dreams or di-
versions or aimless academic discus
sions until after the one big lob is
over--the crude, bloody. straight lob
Of winning the war.
1t Is not question OF whether Boil
shevism. socialism or any other kind
OF undemocratic ism have redeeming
points. The important thing about
them now is that they lost the war
for Russia. They diverted the peo-
pie from the one big task of winning
the war, just as Germany desired and
planned. II Russia had stuck to
Kerensky's democracy for which we
are fighting to preserve in the world,
Russia would still be great help.
Americans who allow thiA poison to
be injected into their veins are play
ing straight into the hands OF Ger
many.
I'VE are all of us in the fight as a
part of the indispensable reserves" !"
says the Outlook. I'VE have got 10
think and talk and act just as we
would IL we were at the front our
selves. The soldier who talks about
a drawn battle is not fit to fight.
Neither is a citizen"
BY the same token It must be said
that the soldier who talks about un-
tried Utopian isms and tries to apply
them during the war is not fit 10
fight. This was illustrated in ap-
palling measure in the Bolshevised
Russian army. Neither is q citizen
fit to do his duty II he allows himself
to become doped with fantastic and
undemocratic doctrines at this time.

To those who had not been to the
Red Cross shop it was wonderful
sight to step in during the past two
weeks and see the rooms filled, in
most cases, with white robed women
making these dressings which are SO
urgently needed, SO many hundreds
of them daily. Earnestly and diligent
ly they applied themselves to the max
ing of gauze congresses, strips, rolls
and sponges, and various types of
bandages. In the shop at the high
school, as well as at the central shop,
one found most of the workers wore
serious faces, for one cannot witness
the making and shipping of thousands
of dressings without realizing the
enormity of the suffering over there
When ready for shipment they are
wrapped in bundles ready for steri-
lization and packed in great boxes
and sent to headquarters at Detroit.
