England, and in France. He alsS named this country as one of the tar gets they were aiming at.
 T wish to state that it is through the use of arms that men and women are compelled to work at any labor that the Bo1sheMst authorities assign them to do. Great numbers of these people are old or frai1, persons utterly unfit for such work as they are forced to do at the point of bayonets or guns. They are lawyers, office men, and other persons whose work in ornla1 time was of what we may term a mental nature. The women suffer the same fate. They are forced into the heaviest sort of manual labor. Many are used to dig graves, and 1 have heard of many who were relatives and friends who met the dis pleasure of the Bolsheviki. ..
 "In Petrograd one day I saw one of these gangs at work in the street break ing with pick axes the frozen snow. In this gang was young woman of evident gentle breeding and of fraii physique. 1 offered to help her, but she declined to be an object of charity. She told me everything her family possessed had been appropriated by the Bolshevild and she had to dig ice out of the streets or perish. It was the only kind of work that the Bo1sheyiki would permit her to do. This is the case of great numbers of others of the same class"
 Germany's connection with the BoI- sheviki was placed square1y by Mir Simmons in his testimony when he said:
 All of the terrorism that reigns in Russia, I believe to have been insti- gated officially in Germany. I am con- vinced that Lenine and TrotzlSy were put Ill power by Germany. The fact that 1 am now tc disclose l am certain has never appeared III the public prints. My informant Is the man who acted for von Bethmann-H Holiweg the former Imperial Chancellor. His story was told under oath in the office of the American Con sul General in Moscow.
 ''In 1914 when the war started, this man was in Germany. He IS a Russian and Socialist. The Germans would not permit him to leave the country. He IS conservative Socialist, one who advocates evolution instead of revoiu- Berlin, he was approached by an agent of the German Government, who toid him that the Imperial Chancellor de- sired to, see him.
 When he saw the Chancellor he was informed that the Imperial Government was desirous that he go to Switzerland and make study of and later report to the chancellor regarding the various Socialist groups then making their headquarters in that country. The Ger man Government, he was informed, particularly desired reliable inforfnation regarding the most radical of those groups He was told that Germany stood ready to place 5,0O0O00 marks to the credit of the proper group, which group was to send its agents into Russia for propaganda work"

K. E. Simmons, an agent of the De partment of Commerce, was a victim of Bolshevist methods. He saw things first hand and was able to get reports from many parts of the country. Although connected with the American Embassy he was cast into prison for two weeks and was liberated only through the in- tervention of the Swedish consul gen eral MT. Simmons returned to this country with great mass of evidence about the Bolshevists. Among other things he said: =.-
 The Bolshevist revolution has as its object the putting into power of a few over the many. The worst feature of their program, and this feature is al- ways emphasized, is that of the spirit of class hatred. In every corner of Russia these people are preaching the religion of class hatred. Tn Petrograd I witnessed on one occasion the undressing of a refined woman by several soldiers of the Red Guard It was in the Nevsky Prospekt at about 6 80 p. m. I heard the scream of the woman. who had been taken into a side street. and saw the soldiers steal the clothes from her body The forcib1e dlsroblng was accompanied on the par1 of the soldiers with insulting language.
 
 women subjected to these indignities were women not of the aristocracy, but of the middle class.
 "Bo1shevism is directed against every decent man, woman and child who will not bow down to the dictates of Trotzky and Lenine. In other words, they are now fighting the very class that in the beginning they said they were strugg1- ing to put on top and in control, They are fighting day and night now to put on top not the proletariat as we know it but the very scum of humanity.
 And they are working with all the devi1ishness they have to spread their doctrines throughout the world. As late as. November IS last Lenine said in Moscow, and 1 have copy of :he state ment with me, that they had sympath- izers with great organizations behind them in Scandinavia, i'll Germany, in

A remarkable illustration of the benefits to be derived from the prac- tice of swimming was furnished in New York, when William J. Duffy, a man sixty-five years young, swan the 12 miles from the Brooklyn bridge to Coney Island in 3 hours 32 minutes. Duffy, who is deputy collector of internal revenue, was in bygone days prominent in several branches of ath- 1etics, but in late years swimming has been his chief hobby. He undertook the recent test just to show some of his cronies he is as good as ever. They were chafing him good natured-

THE HYPERION.

By special arrangement with the big the Hyperion Players will present the coming week The Little Teacher" the brilliant New York success, the past season and shown for the first time in stock at New Haven's home of the drama, the coming week. George M. Conan has predicted that this play will make more than a ha1f million dollars and the dramatic reviewers have hkened 1t to Way Down East" in the matter of popular appeal to the theater-going public.
 Emily West is d New York girl who goes to Goshen Hollow Vermont, to preside over the destinies of the little | red school house there. In New Eng land village, as i'll other small com munities, people are apt to have warped and ungenerous ideas, which take a young girl like Emily West to regener- ate them. The spinsters of the town in particular were certain that there was something quite wrong with Emily S friendship for a lumber jack ,and they have spruce and progressive packer III one Neal Broadway, member of the school board, who makes the mistake of trying to turn his authority to ac- count in his wooing.
 The drama of the play comes when Emily presumably illegally takes away from drunken parents two abused children. This divides the town in a measure, but hardly on a ffty-hfty basis for all Emily has to back her is the lumber jack and the children them selves. With the sentiment running strong against Emily it is hard to see how she can win out, but she does, and in rather surprising way. The play calls for an extra large cast, every one roles and bunch of New Haven's cleverest juvenile actors playing the kid" roles. Madeline Carroll, local girl, has a prominent role and the "kiddies" who will appear include

ships of the navy. This band has made a great name for itself ever since it's arrival on home shores. In New York, the sailor musicians became a sensation after their first show in big Broad way house, and it was only by some fast and clever booking work that the band was obtained for New Haven with every New York vaudeville mana ger figuring in the bidding for the ser vices Of these musicians.
 Another session of the swinging s.iazz' idea comes in the act in Ed. Slim, Blanche Klaiss and Phil Sake. This trio Of instrumenta1ists and singers surely get away to a great hit with vaudeville audiences.

Conquered Desert SANE.

The British adopted giant "snow-
shoe" to conquer the sands Of the
Egyptian desert. according to MAJ.
John Balm of the British army, who
served in the near East. The scheme.
which was based on the same theory
that caused the Indian to adopt the
snowshoe, was discovered while the
army was marching to Palestine. The
fine sands impeded both the infantry
and horses. so that days march
never resulted In much more than a
two or three mile advance.
"Finally some inventive genius tried
laying rather close-meshed chicken
wire on the sands" said Major Balm.
'.The Tommies were thus given some
thing that didn't yield so readily as the
soft sands, and the horses got better
footing. Immediately we found that
much greater progress was made, and
our advances soon amounted to nine
and ten miles day."

WEATHER STRIPPING
WILL SAVE YOU COAL

. Following are a few suggestions by
the United States Fuel Administration
on weather stripping" Of houses, to
save coal:
1t is best to put weather stripping on
all doors and windows because, there
Is a heat loss through every one, no
matter how tight they might be. By
all mean strip those which are loose,
or which have large crevices.
All doors and windows which have
a northern exposure should be care
fully stripped. Windows thus exposed
would be much better protected if dou-
BILE windows are provided, because
there is a certain amount of heat loss
through the glass.
