Bolshevik Regime
Being Routed
in Russia

LONDON, Oct. 16.-Today's devel-
opments from Russia are of an ex-
tremely discouraging character for the
bolsheviki regime. General Denikene
whose forces are advancing on a front
of about 450 miles through Central
Russia, has in the center captured
Orel, only 238 miles from Moscow
and the most important railroad CEN
ter south of the capital. The north
western army of General Yudenitch,
also operating on a broad front, is
reported to have smashed through the
bolshcvist lines west and southwest
of Petrograd, and to be within fifty
to seventy-fve miles or Petrograd all
along the front. Meanwhile, Kolchak's
Siberian armies are improving their
advantage along the Tobol river and
now are within a few miles of the
boundaries of European Russia, from
which they were driven by the recent
successful bolshevik offensive.

Declares Moral
Tone Lapsing

BALTIMORE, Oct. 16.-The mora
tone, the sacrifcial spirit of all the
people which was distinctly elevated
during the war, has suffered reac.
ton, declared former President Taft
in his address as president of the
Unitarian general conference here
yesterday, and we are back again
in the old region OF the 'doldrums
where progress to better things seems
as slow as it was before the war"
eve should not be discouraged
however," Mr.. Taft said. 1T is the
frailty of human nature. 1t is to
be found in its inability to maintain
for long periods its adherence to the
highest ideals. Real progress in the
world is through course of action
and reaction. This reaction will be
succeedej again by an onward and
Upward movement, and we shall find
the world better because of its sacri-
fees and lessons they taught y

Troops Ready to
Answer All Riot
Calls, Says Baker

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 16.--
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker,
addressing the delegates to the con-
vention of the Ohio Federation of
Women's Clubs, last night said the
administration in Washington is de-
termined that federal laws be enforc-
ed and federal agencies left unob-
structed and that federal troops will
respond instantly to the call of any
governor to suppress riots and dis
order in any state.
After referring to the disturbed
conditions in various countries of the
world, Secretary Baker said:
"In our own country since the ar
mistice there has been growing agita-
ton and unrest, manifesting itself
some times in race riots and mob
disorder, but for the most part evil
denced by widespread industrial con-
troversies. Our newspapers are daily
filled with accounts oftviolent agita-
ton by so-called bolshsvists and rad
icals, counselling violence and urging
action in behalf of what they call So
cial revolution.
'The administration in Washing
ton is determined that every federal
agency shall be maintained in the full
performance of its functions. We
have an army of tried soldiers, of
true Americans. They have seen GOO
much disorder in the world ounder-
value law and order in their own
court try, Thcy will:seeato it that fed
eral laws are enforced and federal
agencies left unobstructed, and they
will respond instantly to the call of
any governor to suppress riots and
disorder in any part of the country.
They are not partisans in any dis
pute except one, and that is the dis
pute between those who want order
and those who try to Great, disorder
in America. AS between these two
contestants, they are on the side of
order"

Queen Wants to
Know More About
American Women
BY, Don E. Chamberlain


UNITED Press Staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, Oct. l6.-What dc
American women eat and dress, and
what do they do to amuse their hus-
bands?
That is one of the things Queen
Elizabeth of Belgium, wants to find
out on her tour of the United States
The cheerfulness, versatility, then
taste in dress and the way in which
they make their sweethearts and hus-
bands idolize them is source of Won
der to the queen, who wants to obtain
the secret to pass onto her own peo-
pie.
Just how the queen IS going to OBJ
tain this information is not worked
out as yet. But visits to factories,
department stores, other places where
girls are employed will be one of the
chief items on the royal program, and
from this side of it the queen ex-
poets to obtain much of the secret.
Then there will be opportunities to
visit the real American home, and
the queen will utilize the chances of
studying the home life wherever pos
sible.
Girls schools-both converts and
co-educational colleges-will also be
visited by the queen.
The queens interest in the Ameri-
can woman's life must not be taken
to mean she thinks the Belgian wo-
men are dissatisfied On the contrary
the queen issproud of the home life
of the Belgians, Pat where there's
room for improvement, she wants to
give them chance to develop it.
