As for Kerensk y----

In the talk to-day his head was
"bloody. but unbowed" AS he listened
he bit nervously at MS finger nails,
surveying, occasionally, with his eyes
squinted and at very close range, the
devastation to his fingers. His hair
WINS cropped short and stood up bristly
and dark, with white scalp showing
through. He wore his usual wing COL
lar, with a bow tie. His business suit
was gray. His shirt was quietly striped
and the cuffs were stiff. He wouldn't
have looked like foreigner anywhere.
Ee would pass, indeed, for an
ordinary man except when he squnts
his eyes. They are Oriental in shape
then. His cyelids have no curv-
ing lines; thelr edges run parallel.
They remind one Of machine gun Sits.

And then will come White Bolshevism /:
the White Terror, the rule Of the
reactionaries."
"And is the world going to see more
horrors in Russia?"
"Not for long. Every revolution in
history has gone like the Russian revo-

swinging back just now toward re-
action. 1t is swinging very rapidly
too.
No Terror TAINTED
"By next winter" he continued, "the
masses of people will have observed
the working of White Bolshevism, with
it's terror, and they will learn, from the
ineffectiveness Of its efforts, that ter
rorism Of no sort is wanted in Russia,
neither Red nor White. And at that

and will be willing to take a sane

and they openly express the fear that
the victorious reactionary armies may
go too far in their zeal toward punish
ing the former Bolsheviki and thus
create another reign of mass terror in
Russia. They seem to see no way of
avoiding this, except by using moral
suasion with the reactionary military
leaders.

it finally overcame him, that 1 was

this sentence the atti-
H tude Of the American
press may be summed
up in regard to the statement of
Premier Paderewski, of Poland,
denying the reports charging
plumber and massacre of Jews and
demanding an impartial investiga-
ton.
Comments point out that with
all the good will and sympathy in
the world for Poland and the Polish
people it is impossible to disregard
the impressive bulk of evidence in
support of those charges, and that
the interest Of humanity and the
good name of the Polish republic
demand alike that religious and
racial persecution be stopped with
out moments delav.
Thus "The Philadelphia Public
Ledger" insists that "the people of
the world are entitled to the truth
and the whole truth as to the posi-
ton accorded to the Jews in East
ern Europe" and suggests that
there is apparently no better way
of eliciting the truth on the subject
than by IN inquiry conducted by
dlslnteres ad neutrals." 1.-THE
Springf Republican" admits that
stories OF .he maltreatment of Jews
in Poland may be exaggerated, but

in the following extract from his
Balkan Note Book" which is here
reprinted from "The Survey"
Colonel Folks writes:
"Salonica, which has had a continu-
Gus history Of 1000 years. mostly Of
fighting and war. is an island of dirt
surrounded by an ocean Of army hos
pitfalls. 1t is unlike anything that ever
was before or ever can be again. The
native population is composed entirely
of foreigners, Spanish, Jews, Turks
and Greeks predominating. No two
civilians are dressed alike, and each
costume is different from anything that
ever was before or ever can be again.
They vary from a few primeval rags to
such a brilliant collection of fiery
colors as is only to be found in an old
fashioned flower garden.
THE military element of the popula-
ton is made up of soldiers from Great
Britain, France, Italy, Serbia. Greece,
Russia, Senegal, Madagascar, Tunis,
Morocco, India and of the American
Red Cross. Huge army hospitals, in
terminable rows of barracks-wonder-
fully trimmed and orderly looking
stretch away as far as the eye can
see on the Macedonian plains. Tent
colonies house Bulgarian prisoners.
St. Paul visited Salonica in A. D. SO
to proclaim the principles Of Chris
tianity, and the Allied armies visited
it in l916'1S to proclaim the principles
Of justice and human liberty
ats official guide book writer says
that Salonica was visited by the plague
once every twenty-five years, begin
ming 1850, and by cholera five times
since 1880, the last time in 1913.
The anopheles mosquito, fed up for
centuries on Turks, Greeks and Jews,

The mosquito that filled them with

thousands upon thousands home to

out the world. But here energies a
fact (or at least a theory which at
once startles and soothes. It is
called "White Bolshevism," and is
no less, according to William G..
Shepherd, than a prediction from
the lips Of Kerensky. Mr.. Shepherd,

paper Of an interview with the one

"My first question:" he says,
