WHAT THE BOLSHEyIKI OF RUSSIA
REALLY IS FROM A MAN WHO KNOWS

"A
 Bolshevik means Anarchy and Anarchy means mob rule.
 The Russian people will never amount to a tinker's darn until some nation steps in and actually dominates every branch of the and places yoke back again upon the necks of the people until they have been educated to the meaning law and order
 Russia is now land of grafters out for the money; starvation is facing the millions of people and the situa tiOn is worse in that country than is known in this
 The above is the substance of short talk the edi tor had with V Obrket fur buyer. Mr. Obiket came to Seward from Los Angeles the Admiral Evans and three days before he north his father returned from six months business trip Russia "the land of vermin filth and anarchy Obrket senior went to Russia via Sweden and returned via Siberia and China.
