that he himself hoped some day to fly

Sabotage Is
Best Weapon
For Business
1t Overthrew Nicholas and
1t Is Being Used To
Gust Bolsheviki.

Moscow. Russia, Oct. 2s.-CCorres-
ponce of The Associated Press)-
Sabotage is the favorite weapon Of
the Russian. He uses it more eff
fectively than the rifle and under
stands it better. It was sabotage
which overthrow emperor Nicholas
The Kerensky provisional govern
ment succumbed to sabotage In
neither case was there an extensive
military character to the movement
which gave Russia a new government
And now the weapon which the
Bolshevfki and their supporters OF
the eXereme left used on previous
governments has been turned against
them In the food situation. on the
railways. in various government bu-
reaus, in public service organiza-
tons Of all sorts. among bankers,
business and professional men, and
even among peasants the government
encounters hindrance and obstruc-
ton of 2 type which cannot be pun
ished and stamped out.
Trotsky, Lenine and other Bolshe-
Wiki speakers and agitatOrs have
made the most of the sabotage dt-
rected against them by loudly pro-
claiming in all sections Of Russia that
the disorder they inherited from the
herenSkt regime ana the OpNDSANlp4A
directed against them by enemies
within the government. as well as
outside. has prevented the soviet re-
public from lettering the food stu
alton and getting commerce and IN
dustry hack into normal channels
This view was accepted by the
laboring masses very generally for
some time, but after eight months OF
the Bolshiviki rejublic it is apparent
that the laboring men are no longer
willing to accept abuse of various
antiBolshevik factions as a complete
excuse for the deplorable lack OF
food.
The loss OF the Ukraine grain sup
ply and the cutting off Of the Siber-
ian wheat stores by the Czecho-
Slovaks stand forth so plainly that
the dullest workman reads the hand
writing on the wall. Without grain
fields he understands there cannot be
gram. And the promises Of bread
through grain crusades made by
armed forces do not impress him
when he realizes that the portion OF
Russia remaining within the jurisdic-
ton of the soviet republic does not
contain enough grain to feed the re-
public,s population, even II every
bushel were under government con-
troll and carefully distributed.

living quarters which the Germans
were forced to abandon when the

One Of the most unique Of these Of

In the lower floor was an elaborate
sitting room, containing richly up
holstered furniture, a piano, oil paint

were found many maps. plans and a

At one side was a wine cellar we'll

this was a shoemaker's hut where

Germans had women in their trenches
Higher up in the woods was a vege-

view OF the country for miles around
Everything was confusion Uni

all kinds OF military paraphernalia
were heaped about everywhere, indi-
eating that the Germans had fled in

That the Germans expected to oc-
