The Bolsheviki now attempting to
gain a foothold in the United States
are not producers of anything-un-
less 1t is hell. They are the dis
turbing element among organized
labor. They have bright visions Of
changing the government for the
better. but one has only to look al
the chaotic situation in that part Of
Russia where they are now in power
to perceive the final results Of theil
teachings. The path they point out
leads to murder. arson and degrade

During the past few weeks the
United States courts have beer

We have come to feel that the war
is about over, Austria, Bulgaria and
Turkey are out of It and Germany is
begging for peace terms. The kaiser

II will be a period Of comparative
inactivity. Such times are the most
trying on the morals and morale OF
soldiers. The Y. NJ. G. A. and allied
interests will be needed more than
ever. We should oversubscribe the
amounts asked. To slacken our ef-
forts would be TO invite disaster for
the organizations which our govern

cannot now pause to argue the wis

NATION WHOLLY UNPREPARED

seen the shock of peace and had pre-
pared against it. Among such was
Great Britain. The following cable
from London carried in the morning
papers of November 18th, indicates in
general way the thoroughness with
which Great Britain had prepared for
peace problems.
London, Nov. l0--The government
tonight issued statement that the
minister of reconstruction will an
nouce the governments general re-

In the meantime, elaborate instruc-
tons have been given for the slowing
down of munition production and the
replacement of the workmen with a
scheme Of donations for unemploy-
ment, to remain in force for six
months.
In contrast TO this was the condition,
bordering on panic, which prevailed in
the United States on November 7th
when it was prematurcly and erron-
cously announced that an armistice
had ben signed. David Lawrence, the
well known pro-administration news
paper correspondent at Washington,
writing in the New York Post in

said:

ICY" The idea that any policy of re-
construction to meet the unparalleled
and tremendous problems which con-
front this nation can be mapped out
in few days, is quite as ludicrous as
the opinion, held in similar circles
prior to the war, that preparedness
for war was not needed because in
event war was forced upon us, an
army of a million men would spring
up over night fully prepared and
equipped.
How England Will DemobiIize
The British government has indulg-
ed in no such decisions. For example,
it is prepared even to the last detail
for rehabilitation of its vast army of
six million men. Its plans for de-
mobilization are so perfected that at
dress rehearsal" given recently, an
entire unit Of the British army along
the front in France, was demobilized
in an increditably short time. At the
end of the process each man of the
unit found himself in his native town,
or at the place of his initial enlist
ment, mustered out Of service and paid

pensation he received as soldier and
covering period Of six months from
the date Of his being mustered out Of
service.
1t is not alone in this phase of re-
construction that the British govern
ment has made complete plans. 1t has
formulated and has already issued
elaborate instructions TO all industries
and working classes governing the
slowing down of war work, the substi-

ELLEN TERRY 70 YEARS OLD.

London, Feb. 27.-Many were the messages of greeting and other re- memberances received by Ellen Terry today to remind her of her 7Oth birth day anniversary. Miss Terry, for many years the most eminent actress of the English-speaking stage, has lately told her own story of her rise to fame. Not until nineteen years af- ter her debut on the stage, at the age of eight, did she gain what she has been pleased to cali her first real success, and then she instinctively felt that her portrayal of Portla had made her famous. That was in 1875. Sew eral years later she played Ophelia to Sir Henry Irving's Hamlet at the Lon don Lyceum. In 1883 she and Sir Henry made their first tour of Amer ica, and thereafter Miss Terry's was a household name on both sides of the Atlantic.
 A new story concerning Miss Terry
 has recently come to light. Many wears ago she was appearing at an
 old Dublin theatre, and towards the
 end of the play was supposed to com init suicide by jumping into the river
 One night when she reached the usua , eminence of rock to jump off, she found, to her dismay, that no mattress had been placed in the "river" for hel i to fall on,: So down she came ion thu bare boards with hard sthud. Hel /, confusion gwasssintense, built was in I creased tenfold when, a voice from thu gallery sang out in rich brogue? ;"Och, be jabers, the waters frozen
