P. H. S. TIES MIDDLE TOWNSHIP.

The P~leasantville High School Foot
ball team opened its season last Sat
urday, playing Middle Township High
School at Cape May Court House. The
game was a tie, the final score being
0 to 0. Pleasantville finished with a
slight advantage as when the game
ended she had the ball near her goal
line with but a few yards to go. Both
teams, however, played good ball and
Coach Drumm of P. H. S. expressed
himself well satisfied with the work
of the team as a whole and the play
ing of each individual as well. 1t must
be remembered that this is Pleasant
ville's first game of the season, and
when we consider that it was played
away from home in the bargain it can
easily be see that they have done
very creditably indeed. P. H. S. plays
a return game with Middle Township
on Nov. 8 at Pleasantville, and it is
hoped that as many of the town peo-
pie as possible come u to see what
our team can do on home soil. The
lineup for Saturdays game follows:

Fifteen THOUSAND DOLLARS
AWARDED TO AUAo VICTIMS

Timothy O'Leary, former assistant
superintendent of police, of Philadel-
phia, must pay $3.50 for running
down with his automobile George A.
Wilson, Jr, of Port Republic, accord
ing to a decision of the New Jersey
Supreme Court. The boy will get
$12, 900 and his father will get $4,000.
The court decided the verdict CIV
ing the father $4,000 was not Excess
sive, because the boy, although only
sixteen years old, earned $35 a week
and would have continued to make
substantial contributions to the family
income until he is twenty-one.
The boys injuries in the accident
have made him a cripple. His thigh
was broken. One of his legs now is
two inches shorter than the other and
he is suffering from curvature of the
spine.

By GRANT M. OVERTON.

I'VE take it we do no injustice to
w John Reed when we call him .
Bolshevist. And we do no more than JUS
tice to his new book, Ten Days That Shook
the World, -when we say that it is the most
interesting, informative and important
book about present day Russia that has
yet appeared in this country. For it is;
and much of its interest and importance
comes from the fact that the volume is
Bolshevist's view of Bolshevism, or. at
least of the coup by which the Bolsheyih
triumphed in Russia.
The len days of his title were the last
ten Of October, 1917, by the old Russian
calendar, which Jagged thirteen days be-
hind that of the Western World-for Us
they were November Ala, 1917. In that
time the Bolsheviki got control Of Petro-
grad and secured the adhesion Of soviets,
or local councils, here and there al over
Russia; they also gained the support OF
the armies and the fleet. At the beginning
of the ten days the Bolsheviki were q
group of propagandists housed in the
Smolny Institute; at the end of them they
were the political instrument in which the
Russian people had lodged their sover-
eighty, in so far as that sovereignty had
any embodiment at all After sixteen
months the Boishevists still have "the
power" as Russians would say.
John Reed il vivid reporter, always.
He is never neutral and be is never dull.
Some people say he is never truthful; but
as nobody agrees what Truth is, this gen.
eraI accusation is without point. Tn
doubtedly his book will stir up hundred
contradictions On specific facts; he might
be proved wrong on every one Of them and
yet have drawn an essentially truthful pic
ture of the Bolshevist coup. As if to
fortify himself against these inevitable at
taeks, he has documented his book rather
heavily. There are appendices in fine
print TO all twelve chapters. Careful notes
and explanations preface the straightaway
story. Facsimiles vary the photographs.
Reed gives in a general way his sources,
other than his own notebook; they are
mostly newspaper files and official bulle-
tins. Mr.. Iiveright, the publisher, says on
the jacket that Ten Days That .ShoOk the
World will be used as source book by
historians, and so hanked and fortified is
it that we think it will.
: Still, it is not as source book for his
torians that We are here concerned with it,
but as new book and a piece Of news,
and news Of the first consequence at that.
To avoid misconceptions we had better
say at the outset what the book is not 1t
+. is not an exposition of Bolshevism; it
tells what the Bolshevists-and others
said and did and the reader VIII have to
form his own conclusions as to their mo-
tives and purposes. The book is not an
argument, but a reporters narrative. 1t
is not unbiased, but the authors SYM
pathies are well leashed and in plain sight
at all times. Political explanations are
confined to the predatory pages. The
spectator is always in Petrograd and news
of what took place elsewhere is fragmen-
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-03-30

tary and at second hand. Only the ten
days, specifically, are covered they are
done in detail-and the background and
the aftermath are reserved for a second
book, KorniIou to Brest-LitOrsk, soon to
be published. All We have here is the i'm
mediate crisis
The Bolsheviki came to "the power"
through the magic of three simple words
operating on the imagination Of the masses
of the Russian people with their "vast and
simple desires" The three words we're:
"Peacel Bread! Landw The widest
things had been hoped for from the revo-
luton which deposed the Gar, and not one
of the things hoped for had been realized,
not even the perfectly reasonable expecta-
tons. The war went YEARLY on, but the
armies were as starved and unequipped as
under the Gar; the price of food went
higher and higher and bread became
scarcer and scarcer; the land remained in
the hands of the few. Kerensky and the
changing succession of men grouped with
him in the Government could not get from
Russia's allies clear statement Of demo
cratic war aims; they joined themselves
with first one faction and then another In
the effort to keep "the power; the land
was not made over to the peasants; nbth-
ing effective was done to check profLeer-
ing; there was no reform at home; the
Constituent Assembly, which was to set up
a permanent political structure, was Iebst-
poned, and postponed again, and post
poned vet again; everywhere there was in
efficiency and muddle Soon the conserva-
tiVes were talking Of the need Of "stIong
man" and of the preferabiity Of German
administration to self-rule that meant dis
order
All this while, through the summer of
1917, discomfort was growing everywhere;
in city and country alike. At election after
election throughout Russia the Bolshevists
gained majoritics in local councils 1.-THE
soviets). Who were the Bolshevistsf
The Russian Social Democratic Labor
party consisted originally of old fashioned
MARKHAM Socialists. AT party congress
in 1903 they split, on the question of tao
ties, into two factions-the majority (bol-
shinstvo) and the minority (menshinstvo).
The BOlsheviki were the members of the
majority" Each faction became a party
itself and each called itself the Russian
Social Democratic Labor party" tAfter
the revolution of 1905, which failt :, the
Bolsheyiki became in the minority, and
they remained so until September, 1917.
The Bolsheviki now call themselves
the Communist party, TO emphasize, Reed
says, their complete severance from the
other Socialist factions in Russia and the
main body Of Socialists in all other coun-
tries. What did they stand for at the time

The aim is a social and an economic
revolution; political overturn is but q
means to this general end. The foe is the

Socialism by forcibly taking over industry,

pressed the desire chiefly of the factory
workers but also of large section Of the
poor peasants.

all rule. Through delegates they deal with
the larger councils and central committees.
The property owning classes are to be
rigidly excluded from any share in Gov
eminent. Private property in land Is ut
an end. The factories are to be run by the
workers, through committees, and are so
run. The trade unions have central ex-
ecutive committee in Petrograd.
Obviously, such Government can con-
tinue only so long as it is supported, OF
submitted to, by the mass of the people.
1t must, for some time at least, be largely
managed and directed by handful of men
and women who can give the people what
they want-or let them take it. The ire
sistible conclusion that must be drawn
from Reeds narrative is that q majority
of the Russian people are so far salts
fed with what Lenine and Trotzky and
the others are doing and propose doing.
Or, if there is dissatisfaction, it is neither
widespread enough nor definite enough to
assert itself with any effect. The concep-
ton Of the Bolshevists as \ small group
holding Russia with mailed fist will not
stand examination. If Lenine and Trotzky
are dictators they are not more so than
say-Carranza. Equally the idea that the
Bolshevists were pro-German and that
their leaders were German agents must
give way TO fact And the fact is pretty
plain, from what Reed says and from the
face Of things, that the Bolshevist leaders
are concerned almost wholly with the sue
cess and propagation Of their social and
economic ideas. If they can spread them
in Germany, well and good. If the seizure
Of political power in Hungary will enable
them to carry out their social and eco
monte programme there, then seize the
political power. Give the land to the
people, the factories to the workers; and
keep the property owning class out Of
"the power" That is the short and sim
pie aim.
1t will be protested that all this Is NOT
an account Of John Reeds book, and il
isn't But it would be useless to try to
summarize his record Of events, and even
impossible. His is a story that can hardly
be condensed; if it were, the reader would
find the condensation perfectly meaning
less. There is but one way to get Reeds
story and that is to take his book, first
reading carefully, even memorizing, the
opening Notes and Explanations, difficult
dozen pages made as lucid as the matter
can be. After that it's simply case OF
reading straight ahead, as you would q
news story in the daily paper.
