From its inccptioM the bolshevik
government depended upon travelling
commissars who were shipped all over
the republic in special trains and pro-
vided with armed forces which dubbed
city and village governments into line.
When commissars fell under local in
nuence and become less drastic in
their methods the bolshevik authorities
at SmoIny Institute withdrew them
and sent others who would be more
brutal in their methods.
These methods worked for a time
but decreased in effectiveness In direct
proportion to the distance from Mos

turned to the villages carrying arms
and ammunition the peasants began
TO initiate anti bolshevik methods.

MARvELs OF SURGERY IN war
Surgeons With Allies Fighters Repair
Seemingly Hopeless Cases Of
Shattered Bone.

The marvels OF surgery which have
resulted from the stimulus Of war
work have COMPOUNDED the prophets.
News OF the bravery Of our fighting
men is not more inspiring than the
accounts which come in constantly of
the achievements of the scientists Of
the entente In the field Of surgery
and medicine, says Portland Oregorffan.
There landed In an eastern port the
other day Canadian soldier who Is
only one Of the thousands who can
thank their stars that constructive sci
ence Is keeping pace with destructive
enterprise. He had been In the thick
Of the fighting Mt Ypres In 1915, shrap-
mel had shattered the bones Of both
ankles and both wrists. For long
time he lay in a London hospital, be-
lieving that his case was hopeless and
that he would be a cripple for life.
Then cnme surgeons who undertook
the delicate task of literally ''settlng
him on his feet" Eventually he
emerged two INCHES or so shorter
than when he enlisted, walking
straight, with agile step, and with full
command Of his arms and hands.
In principle the repair Of this SOL
der was not a wholly new thing:
bone surgery had made material ad-
vances In the decade before the war
began. An interesting feature Of the
case, however. is that it was, pnrt OF
the routine of military hospital. that
the surgeons who performed the bigh-
" intricate operation and made COM
plete restoration Of man who 20
years ago would have been doomed
to a life Of hopeless helplessness makes
no claim to especial merit, and that
the whole accomplishment was treated
az . matter! Of course. The soldier
Is 20 far recovered that he expects
presently to return joyfully to the fir
ing line: the surgeons turn without
more ado to the next case, which may
be seemingly quite as hopeless but
wholly different In matters Of technlc
and detail.

$4,000 ITALIANS DIE IN WAR.
Losses in Killed and Disease Total
Half Million,

Paris, Dec. 2I.-Five hundred thou
sand Italians lost their lives in the
war. OF this number 100000 were
killed in action
This statement was made to the cor
respondent today by Salvatore Bar
zilai former member IF the Italian
cabinet. who accompanied King Victor
Emmanuel to Paris in explaining
ltaly's sacrifices and her claim to ter
ritories previously held by the enemy.
Signor Barzilai said:
"On the eve Of the peace conference
where Italy must claim the territories
due her for reasons Of nationality, it is
we'll the world should know the sacri-
fees sustained by her. s.All Italians
trust America as an Impartial Judge.
Italy lost 100000 dead. To those
actually killed in battle must be added
100000 who died Of disease, particu-
larry malaria contracted in Albania
Macedonia and along the Piave. The
1tlians severely wounded numbered
3000 while 100000 of the 5,O0O,0OU

ing restitution Of the regions along the
eastern Adriatic which Austria OPP
pressed for century and attempted
to dcnationaliza and also places her in
the vanguard Of the movement-to pre-
vent future wars. Having once OBJ
tanned what you might call the doors
to her own house, Italy adheres to a
league of nations, having as corol-
larry freedom Of the seas.
"A league Of nations must have as Z
fundamental nucleus the entente coun-
tries and America, to which the others
may join later A central body, con-
stituting the supreme court Of the
league, must have legislative power
limited to international affairs, judi
ell power. for the application Of its
rules, and executive power to enforce
its decision, such court going so far as
financial and economic boycott Of
any country resisting its decisions, 1t
must also have at its disposal an in
ternational force to prevent any coun-
try from breaking the peace. All
this implies the abolition of secfet
treaties and secret diplomacy and the
abolition Of ornaments"
