Meanwhile, true to their program Of
freeing the proletariat of the entire
world, the Lenine-Trotzky crowd are
Increasingly active in lands far apart.
4 In China they are said to be organiz-
1 ing q great movement and spending
immense sums Of money, Of which
they seem to have unlimited supplies.
Another uprising in India is being
planned. In western Canada their in
nuenee Is apparent in the action taken
by the labor unions. Nearly all local
unions there have voted to secede
from the American Federation of La.
Dor and to follow the ]. w. w. plan Of
organizing by industries instead of by
crafts. Their new body is to be
known as the One Big Union. The
delegates to the meeting that took this
action adopted resolution commit

dictatorship Of the proletariat," and
also voted for a referendum to call a
general strike on June for a 3O-hour

American Federation Of Labor, will

Seemingly, Lenine and TrOtsky have
given up any idea II coming to terms
with the rest Of the world, and are GO
ing ahead with their plan Of forcing
Do.snevlsm on all peoples. Dispatches
from Moscow say the soviet govern
ment has appointed a Swiss named
Moor to be international commissar"
with unlimited financial and political
powers, with a view to promoting a
worldwide communist revolution. In
the Archangel region the bolshevists
continue their attacks on the allied
forces and, though suffering severe
losses, have compelled them to move
northward from Vistavka. Informa-
tion from the part of Russia controlled
by the bolsheviki is that though their
army is increasing and is well drilled
and well fed, the rest of the people
are starving to death. Production OF
all kinds has ceased and transporta-
ton is so utterly demoralized that what
grain they have cannot be distributed.
In a word, the soviet government has
demonstrated it's absolute incapacity
and lack of administrative ability, ex-
cept in the matter of raising con-
script army. In this Trotzky is large
ly following the old system of the em.

The internal condition of Germany
is described as almost hopeless. There
has been continuous fighting in Berlin
and other centers. and while the Spar
tacans have generally got the worst
of it, they are persistent and very des-
perate. In the suburbs Of the capital
the battles were especially bloody,

troops used artillery and mine throw
ers there and after some days sue

Many prisoners We're taken and were
summarily executed. The reds devot-
ed a great deal OF their attention to
plundering the shops Politically, the
majority socialists are not meeting
with great success or inspiring much
enthusiasm in the people. Hugo Haase
and the minority socialists are grow
ing stronger, and some observers say
the only salvation from the cemmun-
ism or chaos they would bring about
is in the new democratic party which
is getting into action. The fact that
the chief Of this party is Count Won
Bernstorff will not give it much stand
ing with the allies. 1t is to be noted,
too, that Doctor Albert, former leader
Of plots and propaganda in the United
States, has been given cabinet posi-
ton under Scheidemann. One can al
most discern, already, the finish Of the
so-called German revolution against
autocracy. Even now, it Is reported,
the people are virtually ignoring the

Unpleasant stories are coming from
Fadivostok to the effect that the anti
holshevik Russians there are bitterly
attacking the middle-of- -the-road policy
that ia heing followed by the American
expedition. and are accusing the
Yankees of being the friends. of the
bolsheviki. The antagonism Is fos-
tered by several newspapers which are
said to have been subsidized by some
Japanese agencies. The Americans in
Siberia are scheduled for return in the
spring. just why the Yankee troops
should fight the bolsheyiki in north
Russia and not in Siberia is not dis
cernible at this distance.
Directly connected with the strained
relations in Siberia Is the row in Tien
Tsin, where japanese troops and police
made what is declared to have been
an unprovoked attack on American
Oficials and soldiers. Washington
may demand an apology and repara-
tion from Tokyo.

SON OF DEAD LEADER
 IS UNWELCOME PUPIL

bERLIN.-The Prussian minister of education has decided that Will liam Liebknecht committed a men tai but not moral trangression' of the law when he aided the Spar tacan forces in defending the Nor- waerts building after their office was captured by the revolutionlsts. Young Liebknecht is son of Karl Liebknecht. the Spartacan leader, who was killed in a conflict with government forces. Parents ot other youths had objected to per hitting the Liebknecht boy to re- turn to school, owing to his share in the Spartacan outbreaks. The minister of education asked these parents to withdraw their objections on the ground that the boy worship ped his father and had been for a long time subject to Spartacan in- fluences.

 Public education was superin- tended by a commissariat and by special body composed of repre- Sentatives of educational sections of labor organizations. Many new schools were being opened. Science and art were being adapted to the understanding of the masses. A great deal of ardor and tempera- ment were shown, but very little system.

VLADIVOSTOCK.-The funda- mental principle of the Bolsheviki that the soviets as organs of revo- lutionary dictatorship must be the strict expression of class govern ment is undergoing marked changes according to a number of tla Mos COW All-Russian Central Cooperative association. He summarized the situation when he left Moscow as follows:
 Russians of the intelligent class were being induced to work in the soviets and in other organizations fors a restoration of the normal course of life. The anarchist terror which had prevailed since October
 had been stopped and arbitrary executions, in some cases, had given way to preliminary legal investiga- tionS and trials.
 The intelligentzia and some of the officers, under the influence of hunger and want, had relinquished the tactics of sabotage Others who were inclined to do likewise were vacillating on account of doubts as to the durability of the soviets and because they feared the con- sequences under a new regime. The economic policy was esser- tially the same as before. Nation alization of ammunition factories and of financial institutions was continued. Former administrators of factories participated in the man. agement as members of factory committees. Small enterprises had i been left in the hands of theiI owners who worked in contact with factory committees of their dis tricts. Many factories and mill: were closed. Life was sustained b! drawing upon wealth previously accumulated.
 It was then reported that the soviet army would be increased tc three million men by spring. Il was being transformed into a dis ; ciplined army. Army committee: had been abolished and former officers were being attracted tc service The system of election ot
 officers was being supplanted by ap pointments by chiefs who had ful charge of directing operations

A rumor is current about town, says the Valdez Miner, that one of the large motion picture concerns will come North for the purpose of securing views of Alaska, and that Valdez had been selected as the favorite site. A large force of actors, mechanics, brunettes and peroxide blondes is said to be part of the en tourage.

The crude productions emanating from Cali fornia studios and labeled Made in Alaska would not deceive a Bryan Democrat. They are so raw they hurt like frostbite.
