BOLSHEvIkI ON WANE
American Out of Russia Reports Their
Power Diminishing.

Stockholm, Feb. THE power Of
the Bolsheviki in Russia slowly is
waning is the conclusion of al Amer
lean who reached Stockholm today
from Petrograd, where he had resided
for IS months, This man left Petro-
grad February Z.
$50 long as there were masses OF
soldiers in Petrograd and Moscow"
,said this man, "The Bolsheviki's OPP
ponents have felt that am attempt to
establish an ordered government was
impossible. As matter Of fact. many
of these soldiers are not Bolsheviki,
but their mere presence was a deter
rent. Now they are gradually depart
ing for farms and villages, and it will
be impossible ever to recall them.
This is especially true Of Moscow,
where the opponents of Nikolai Lenine
and Leon Trtsky are beginning to
pluck up courage. Another factor
against the Bolshevifi is their cam
paign against the church. The recent
procession in Perograd headed by
priests was an imposing affair and the
Bolsheviki did not think it prudent to
attempt by force to prevent it. Prob
ably a majority Of the educated Rus
slams favor separation of church and
state, but do not like the idea of con-
fscation of church properties by such
people as those opposing the present
government.
"The Jews are growing uneasy over
the symptoms of recrudescence of
anti-Jewish agitation. Anti-semitism
is deeply ingrained in large masses of
the Russian Orthodox Catholics, whose
sentiments are further embittered by
the fact that the present government,
under which the people have suffered
much humiliation and hardship, is
made up principally Of Jews. A prom
inent jew said to me last week:
When the reaction comes, they will
take it out on u.s.
The American said that the princi-
pal grave situation with regard to
food was in respect to bread, which
contains straw and is almost uneat-
able. He said it was feared that the
peace between Ukraine and the central
powers would make still worse the
food outlook.
Two weeks were occupied by the
American in crossing Finland. I'm
able to proceed northward from Tam
merfors he went to Bjoernborg. There
were large numbers of the Red Guard
in Tammerfors. From Bjoernborg
the American journeyed to Krisinstad,
where white guard outposts were en-
countered Kristenstad, he said, was
full of white guard, who were con-
stantly drilling and seemed well dis
ciplined and organized.
The white guard leaders said they
could easily clean up the country if
they had arms and ammunition. The
Germans were doing all they could to
assist them They already had sent
three boat-loads Of arms and ammuni-
ton from Lebau and had promised
them more. They also had sent back
to Finland a regiment Of Finnish rife
men who had been fighting on the Ger
man side. The officers asserted that
an attack on Tmmerfors could not be
for three or four weeks.
The American saw no indication of
a food shortage in Northern Finland. |
Peasants who had flocked to the ban
her Of Gen. Mannerheim, the white
guard leader, were furnishing him
with considerable stores of provisions, I
he added.

FIRST POSTAGE STAMPS IN 1888

Postage stamps are very modern.
The first one appeared in 1889. It's
invention was due to James Chalmers,
a printer of Dundee, who Gied in 1858.
According to a decree on December
Fl, 1889, England adopted the adhe-
sive stamp, and issued the first stamps
for public use on May 6, 1910. A year
later they were introduced in the
United States, and soon afterwards in
Bavaria, Belgium and France,

No man or woman who has acquired

duty of buying War Savings Stamps
To leave the Stamps plan Of lending

success in North Carolina by raising
It's $4S,s66,3s0 by December 81. Sec
rotary McAdoo has said TILT raising
the States War Savings allotment IS
the last ca of tie Government for
war finances this year and should De
the peoples most immediate duty. he
urges the people to redeem their War
savings pledges by Christmas and 10
keep on buying stamps until the
States entire quota Is raised.
There are three reasons why North
Carolina mYet raise her War saving
allotment this year regardless OF the
:>raing of peace and the end OF the
war. The first is because the money
called for in the War Savings allot-
ment has already been spent. Last
June the people gave the Government
their word that it could depend on
them for the purchase Of their quota
Of War Savings Certificates. Inc
Government took their wcrd as their
ping the soldiers with needed guns,
ammunition and supplies, which act
brought the war to speedier close
than would have been possible had
this money not been spent. By Civ
ing their pledge the people not only
helped to win the war, earlier than
would have been the case otherwise
hut saved millions Of dollars and
thousands Of lives.
Now the Government comes to the
citizens OF the State with the request
that they make good their word and
redeem their War Savings PLEDGES. A
patriotic American citizens t.l.y ca1
do nothing less. This is a debt @
honor they will be glad to meet. L
for no other reason, they would re
deem their pledges in appreciation o
the services and sacrifices tn = boy
have made at the front. They wonl'

Another reason for selling the

EIGHT REASONS Why WAR saw.
INGS STAMPS IS BEST INVEST.
k;ENT.

There are eight socd reasons why
money invested in War Savings
Stamps in Decembc.- is the best in
vestment that a person can make.
Stamps cost in December 1923 and
are redeemable in 1928, four years
hence, worth $500 The eight rea-
sons are:
1. Money invested in War Savings
Stamps bears over III per cent COM
pound Interest. No cher Government
security pays as great a rate of in
terest.
2. It is non taxable. Only when
money is invested in Government se-
curities is it free from taxes.
3. 1t is not subject to judgment
creditors or to execution of any kind.
4. It is redeema >le at any time. r.
a person who has invested his money
in War Savings Stamps finds himself
overtaken by adversely, sickness or
other emergency, he can, by giving
ten days notice to the postoffice where
his stamps are registered, get back
the amount Of money he originally in
vested with about per cent interest.
s. It is redeema5le in installments.
II person needs a part Of the money
ne has Invested in stamps before the
date OF maturity, he can cash in the
stamps in install1n ents at different
times.
g. It enables the small investor al
soon as he has 1923 to become owner
OF Government bond and a partner of
the Government This is a privilege
the average citizen of the State has
never before had. At the beginning
OF the war only one person in 800
owned Government bonds. Now at
the close of the war one person in
every i've owns a Government bond.
Are you bond-holder by owning q
Liberty Bond or War Savings Ger
tificate?
Z. Money invested in War Savings
Stamps is an investment made when
money has q reduced purchasing
power to be paid back when it will
have large purchasing power. To-
day dollar has the purchasing DOW
er of only sixty cents on a pre-war
basis whereas, in 1923, or after the
> war, dollar will have at least the
purchasing power of 100 cents.
: 8. Registration Of Stamps at post
offices insures' absolute safety. After
=, a person registers his Stamps at the
. post office they are redeemable upon
demand even If the Stamps them.

STATES REPUTATION AT

ings Campaign. Thus far tho
State has succeeded in its four
Liberty Loans, ia its Red Cross,
Y. M. c. A. and United War
Fund Campaigns, and If it's rec
ord Is to remain 100 per cent
perfect, it must make a success
Of it's War Savings Campaign
by December 81.
The record made by the boys
at the front has been a COM
pIete success. They have made
a perfect score in efficiency, in
courage, in patriotism and in
whatever else was necessary to
win the war and bring peace to
the world. They have nobIy re-
sponded to every call Of their
Government, to every demand
for justice, to every cry Of
wronged and suffering human
ity. Can the people at home
afford to have their record Of
war activities besmirched with
the failure Of the War Savings
Campaign-t,e greatest war ef-
fort Of the year?
If the States fine war record
is to be saved, if the makers Of
history are to chronicle per-
feet score as the citizens re-
Spouse to every war call Of the
Government then they must
make the War Savings Cam
paiun a success by December 81.
If the States envlous record Of
the past is to remain untarnIsh-
cd in the future and If its eiti-
zens are to continue to boast
with pride Of its accomplish
ments in war as we'll az IN

effort Of the year must be sue

must raise its full War Savings
quota by December 81. North
Carolina has never failed, and
will not fail this time.
