PARIS, June 8.-Though the bolshe-
vik> government is built from the
masses, 1t has a power to dictate over
the individual uneQualled even by
czar1sm. There is no disorder. no an
archy and no uprising anywhere with
in the territories controlled by the
soviets. Opposition is unheard of, in
fact is impossible, owing to the strict
political control Hence the Russians
meekly follow the bolshevih, though
the great majority longs for the day
when bolshevism no longer is the
only means of preventing reaction to
czarism, which the people really fear
will result II the bolshevfN armies
are defeated.
Passing from town to town on my
way to Moscow from the front and
talking with soldiers and civilians
who overcrowded the jerk-water
trains. I had more than an ordinary
opportunity to learn the viewpoint OF
the people and see bolshevism oper-
ating outside the capital.
1.-THE bolshevik government is bet
ter than Nicholas regime" with the
universal shrug of the shoulders, was
as much as most people dared to say
though occasionally more intelligent
man would watch his opportunity as
soon as he learned I was an American
tc admit frankly bolshevik oppression,
always winding up with the opinion
that the present situation could not
last.
Later, In Moscow, several promf-
nent communists admitted-not pub
licly--that it was impossible to real
ize the entire bolshevfk platform IN
practice. They cited concessions,
such as the labor scale by which sew
enteen different grades of wages are
paid individual workers and bonuses
as high as 5000 rrIbles month offered
to induce trained professionals to d.
rect bolshev1stic enterprises. Some
bolshevild even boasted the soviet
government is swinging toward con-
servatism. Several pointed out 1t Is
practically a constitutional parlia-
mentary form Of government, through
the central soviet congress which is
elected by the local soviets. The cen
tral soviet chooses the central execu-
tive body, which names the cabinet.
At present war time measures place
the country under control OF a SUI
preme council of six, including Pre-
mier Lenine, War Minister Trotsky.
Foreign Minister Tcbytcherin, who
have powers of dictatorship. The ma
jority of office holders are profession
ais and agitators, who forbid opposi-
ton, under the pretext that the coun-
try is at war, antilbolshevfk publica-
tions as well as meetings are not Per
mitted.
The most vital problem, in the eyes
of the bolsheviki is obtaining recog-
milton from the United States and
other outside powers, of which their
leaders are hopeful. They have of
fered concessions, such as assuming
full responsibility for Russia's debt,
guaranteeing not to conduct propa-
ganda outside Russia, in fact, almost

police officers began to arrive. A
search for tho perpetrator Of the out
rage was begun.
Fifty feet from. the steps a portion
OF mans leg was found. Further
search revealed other fragments Of
human form, CHASTITY evidence that
whoever had aimed to kill Palmer
had come to the terrible end he had
designed for his victim.
Remnants Of the anarchists suit
case in which he is believed TO have
carried his death machine to the
Palmer home were next found buried
under leaves and limbs Blown from
trees by the force Of tho explosion.
This gave the first direct clue that
the p!otter was an anarchist. II con-
tained a pamphlet signed "an anar-

following: "Just wait and resign to
your fate since privilege and riches
have turned your heads. Long live

Reports of bomb outrages almost
at the same hour as the one here in
Cleveland, New York, Newtonville,

doubt in the minds of officials here
that the plot was widespread.

How Gen. Diaz Forced
Austriafis Out Of War

General Diaz, commander of the
Italian forces, on the Pave at the
time of their great victory, was sue
cessful in accomplishing a feat that
no other allied commander has been
credited with, said Mr.. Charles
Epson Clark of the American
academy in Rome, in lecture given
at the Fontenelle hotel ball room
Friday.
In the third great battle of the
Piave, fought between the Piave
river and the Asiago plateau, he
captured the enemy's army, their
big guns and material, and cut their
lines of communication rendering it
impossible for them to continue the
war, thus resulting not only in the
destruction of an army, but in the
destruction of the Austrian empire.
Mr.. Clark spent the entire sum-
mer with the Italian armies, visiting
various sectors, including the Piave
front, along the Alps. Albania, Sa-
lonika and Macedonia.
To illustrate his lecture, which
was given under the auspices of the
Omaha Society of Fine Arts, stere-
opticon views of the fighting, the re-
lief work, and various other phases
of the war were shown.
