EUROPEAN REDS"
INVADE UNITED STATES
RADICAL EMISSNRIES ARRIVING
IN LARGE NUMBERS. THEIR
PROPAGANDA NO SECRET.

The radicals of Europe have decid-
ed to invade the United States and
are eXerting every effort to make this
country the field of future effort in
behalf of the social revolution" In
creasing evidence has been obtained
by department of justice agents, it
has been learned, that bolshevists
syndicatists and other radical rep
resentatives are seeking various
methods of entering the United
States. And many of them, it is said,
have succeeded in getting in.
Situation Demands Attention.
Although guarded in their intima-
tions department of justice officials
make no secret of the fact that the
United States is facing a serious sit
uation in the fight which must be
waged against the flood of propagan-
da and agitation resulting from such
an Invasion"
That revolutionary doctrine al
ready is being spread systematically
and by wholesale throughout the
United States has been revealed by
the National Association of Manu-
facturers, which has made public an
exhibit of "red" literature and re-
ports on ''red" activities, prepared
originally for presentation to the
senate propaganda hearing. Accord
ing to a report made by an investi-
gator of one of the governments in
telligence agencies and included in
the exhibit more than 5000 "dele-
gates" of the |. w. w. bearing Gre
dentials from the headquarters of
the organization in Chicago have
been enrolled to disseminate |. W.
W. doctrine.
Financed by Russian "Reds."
The report states that large sum
of money has been brought to this
country from Russia to finance the
bolshevik propaganda campaign. The
money was brought by two trusted
agents of the Russian bolshevik
Ternsloff and Mussiloff, who made the
trip disguised as Russian Jews fleeing
from threatened death and entering
the United States by way of Siberia
Japan and Pacific coast port.
Propaganda activities of the boil
shevists in the East, according to the
report, is shown in the fact that num-
bers of lecturers had been arriving
in Philadelphia, Pittsburg, New York
and Boston from l. W. w. headquar-
tiers in Chicago and from the Pacific
northwest.
The report declares that newspa-
pers for spreading bolshevist propa-
ganda are now published in many
parts of the country in the English
Russian, Yiddish, Italian, Polish
Hungarian and Spanish languages
special efforts being made to organ
ize bolshevist groups among work
ers in the metal trades, iron workers
ship workers, miners and similar
trades

"HE'S A JOLLY GOOD FELL
LOW" WORLDS OLDEST TUNE
Is Claimed That Air Was Sung in
Babylon. Still Sung by Arabs.

Asked to name the oldest tune in
the world, few could give the cor
rect answer. 1t is that to which we
now sing the words, ''For he's a
jolly good fellow" and the air, which
can be traced in distant Asia and
Africa, as we'll as in most European
countries. has an interesting history.
It's origin is lost in antiquity, but
it is supposed to have been learned
from the ancient Babylonians by the
Egyptians, who popularized it in At
RIGA and Asia Minor. 1t is still sung
by the Arabs.
The Crusaders caught the tune
from the Saracen enemies and sung
it under the walls of Jerusalem, which
today, perhaps, vibrate to the same
notes, chanted by our victorious
troops. The air was ultimately car
ried into Europe, where it survived
in various forms among the folk
songs of the different nations.

ANOTHER INFLUENZA
EPIDEMIC PREDICTED
Method of Treatment Found, Doctor
Tells Medical Association. Came
Here Through the Navy.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Another cpl
demic of influenza, greater in proper
ton than that which prevailed last
year, is almost certain to spread over
the country this year, DR.. Charles II.
Duncan, of this city, today told the
Allied Medical Association of Ameri-
ca, in convention here.
Doctor Duncan declared that the
influenza germ was imported to this
country through the navy and later
scattered through the army camps,
and thence to the civilian population.
He said he disagreed with state
ments that nothing had been done
that will provide a successful means
of combating influenza"
"On the other hand" he added,
1--WE have a method and that method
is in use by some of the members of
this organization who have treated
many cases and have not lost one"
Doctor Duncan plans to present a
paper at tomorrow's session explain
ing this method.

DOG MEAT IS Sc A

OMSK, Siberia.-Horse meat sold

potatoes at rubles a pound in Mos
COW last February, according to an
American, Mr.. Dillon, who has just

ary 9 and arrived at Omsk, after
many difficulties, on April 2.
A box of matches, if obtainable at

A ruble before the war was normally
worth so cents. Its value now is prob
lematical, owing to the vast amount
of paper money which has been print
ed by the bolshevik government.
Barely Live on Big Wages.
Bolshevik workmen in Moscow who
can find employment receive $50 to
1900 rubles a month, and, Mr.. Dill
lon said, are barely able to live,
though receiving special concessions
in foodstuff prices in bolshevik stores.
Non-bolsheviki, who cannot buy in
such stores at any price, are in des-
perate straits. There have been many
cases of starvation and many suicides.
There is much sickness, resulting
from malnutrition and unsanitary
conditions. Chambers is common and
results from eating infected horse
meat.
The city was full of unemployed
workmen when Mr.. Dillon left, There
were $4,000 idle metal workers and
a great number of idle textile work
ers. People were burning furniture
to heat their homes because of a
shortage of firewood.
