SAGE DEFINES B0LsHEvISM.
Is Social ana Spiritual Unrest, OUT
growth of War, He Says.


George n. Sage Of the National Se-
curity League gave brief talk on Boil
shevism yesterday in the lobby OF the
West Side Y. ". c. A., 31s West Fifty
seventh street.
Mr. Sage said that Bolshevism was q
hard thing to define, but that primarily
II was a spirit of social. economic and
spiritual unrest arising as a result Of
the great war
War infrequently was a good thing,
said Mr.. Sage, to awaken and unity a
nation. He thought that as a result of
this war a new form of government
might arise which would manage the
socialistic principles of a more equal
distribution of wealth more successfully
than the present form OF government,
but that the American people felt to-
day that their republican-democratic
form OF administration was the best.
He deplored a spirit of anarchy which
he claimed was akin to autocracy in
that It did away with government by the
people and imposed a rule of force by
a few.
Mr.. Sage admitted the frailties Of the
present system of government, but OPP
posed any tendency to tear 1t apart
instead of trying to build It up SO that
it would administer successfully to aris-
ing conditions and eventually be per-
feet and 100 per cent. American.

Of making "cpnverts'' among other

The perpetrators thought that these
aliens might be particularly susceptible
to their writings because OF the fact that
they would be handed to them by their

themselves no ties connecting them with

fidence of members Of an extreme radi-
cal cult In this city and who learned
through them that for a considerable
length OF time they had been smuggling
their literature to the aliens. despite
careful guard which the authorities were
exercising.
The agent was at first baffed in his
attempts to learn how the campaign was
being carried on. but finally ascertained
that ana rchistic and rabid papers issued

folded into copies OF ordinary daily
