People Used Violence

The agItation started at lmola
where the people who went to market
IN the morning, cXasperated at the high
prices asked for the so-called prime
necessaries Of life, lost their patience.
helped themselves to what they wanted
and threatened to resort to violence
against the protiteers. AS was to be
expected. there was a great deal of ex-
eitement, which spread like wildfre.
Work was stopped everywhere A
strike of protest against the high cost
OF living was proclaimed by the labor
organizations and the men came out
and started lootng. Next day prices
were reduced by half. Other cities,
Bologna, Ancona and Florence, fol-
lowed the example set by lmola. When
the local authorities lost their heads
and displayed weakness, the people.
besides looting the shops and markets
with a certain amount Of Ciscrmna-
tion, assumed threatening attitude
and resorted to rioting. Wholesale
looting followed, with acts of vandal-
Ism, violence and armed resistance to
the police, and troops were summoned
to keep order.
The rioting lasted three days at
Florence. When it subsidized there it
started at Genoa. Turin, Naples and
southern Italy, especially at laramie,
where machine guns had to be used as
the people attempted to burn down
public buildings in Sicily In small
out of the way places republics and
soviets were proclaimed.
at was decided that as a provisional
measure, a general reduction of all
actual sale prices by so per cent
should go Immediately into effect, the
reduction applying to restaurant prices
as we'll. The prices will be fixed def
initely by mixed committee, whose
jurisdiction will be extended not only
to foodstuffs, but also to al! other i'm
portant necessaries.
This committee is to be constituted
as sort of tribunal of arbitration.
There will be no appeal from it's deci-
sions."
The most interesting feature of
this committee was it's composition
lhe committee consists of six repre-
sentatives of the working classes desip-
mated by the two Chambers of Labor.
Tour citizens representing the other
classes, and the Mayor of Rome. The
citizen representatives must not be
merchants or storekeepers"
The reduction of prices was to be
put into effect and supervised by
vigilance committees, one for
each district of Rome. These com.
mlttees were to be composed of the
two aldermen of the district, one
representative of the city admins
tration, one expert and one repre-
sentative of the Chamber of Labor.
A detachment of police was as
signed to each committee to carry
out its orders Immediately.
The so per cent price cut was an
nounced in a proclamation issued bv
the Prefect of Rome. The proclama-
ton emphasized that on the price
fixing commission the merchants
were not to be represented. 1t was
stated that the reduction applied not
only to foodstuffs, but to, clothing
and footwear as WELL

4 Neu Chapter
ENEE Hungarian Soviet Re-.
public has collapsed. In four
or FIVE instances this report

The downfall of Soviet rule in
Hungary is regarded by American
editorial opinion as the opening Of
a new chapter in Central European
history. The Boston Herald" COM
ments:
The removal of the communist ter
ror from Hungary is the cutting OF
cancer from the heart of Europe. Now
there is a greatly improved prospect
of health and peace Czecho- Slovakia,
Rumania, Croatia-Slavonia and Serbia
were all in danger from the Magyar
red ruin in the midst of them. Even
Austria feared contagion or attack from
the Kun or Cohen regime, and was
glad when the Allied and associated
powers imposed d blockade to bring
her former partner TO submission.
Count Michael Karolyi has yct 10 eX-
plain why he flung the relns OF govern
ment to Bolshevlst hands and fed. His
action was blunder that has cost his
country many lives and much suffering.
Lenlne's agent could not govern. He
could but rage and ravage, rob and
Kill, shouting the catchword prole-
tariat' and trampling on democracy
The Philadelphia Record head
lines its editorial "Bolshevism on
the Wane,' and says:
The collapse of Bella Kun's COM
munist regime at Budapest probably
marks the beginning of the end of the
Bolshevist threats to Europe. To be
sure, Lenine and Trotzky still hold
sway in Russia, but their capacity for
mischief is limited so long a J. IS con-
Lenine has been quoted more than onca
as saying that the ultra Socialist move
ment engineered by him would be =
failure unless it could be communicat-
ed to adjoining nations and thence
spread throughout Europe. To this
end he made every effort to turn the
German revolution into d Bolshevist
affair and gave all possible encourage
ment to the Spartacans under Karl
Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg.
When they were suppressed he turned
his propaganda on Hungary. where 1t
proved more successful for time be-
cause OF the general decentralization OF
the Magyars under their factionaI
quarrels.
"Now that Budapest is getting rid OF
the Bella Kun mistits, it seems safe TO
assert that Bolshevism will fare very
poorly in Rumania, Austria, Czecho-
Slovakia and other countries whose IN
ternal disorders seem TO afford II an
opening"
The Des Moines Register" c.s-
Germs an 'ironical aspect Of the
situation," inasmuch as by forcing
the collapse Of Soviet rule 'the Al
lies have placed themselves with re-
lation to Hungary exactly where
they were prior to the middle OF last
March, when the Hungarian Ma
tionalst leader, Michael harolyl,
was in power. The paper con-
tinues:
1t is very likely thai but for the
Allies mistakes tows-d karolyi ne
would never have been forced 20 quill
the Soviet experiment in Hungary
would never have been made, and
lot of fighting and lot of terrorism
and a lot OF anxiety 10 the worid
would have been spared
That at any rate was karolyls
claim. and Karolyi had earned tns
right to be called an enemy OF the
Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs ana

The Last of the Caribbees

Barbados, where live an average of
1900 people to the square mile, is
the only distinctly English land among
all the Indies. To most of the isl
ands Great Britain rs little more
than a stepmother, as discoverers from
other countries reached them first. But
Barbados is and always has been Eng

mental alta chments to any of her Ind
ian possessions, they would tie he%

lngton visited there on the on,y ocean
voyage he ever took St. Vincent and
Grenada complete the string of Brit
ish Islands in the Caribbee group.

Price Might Be Great

If Great Britaln's price for all these
islands We're to be fixed at the rate
per acre paid for the Danish West
Indies it would amount to far more
than the American purse could afford
about $1,000, ,00O 900. But in the
course Of the war the United States
loaned nearly twice that sum to Great
Britain, and, perhaps, could consider
real estate consideration in return
for part.
Undoubtedly the islands belong geo
graphically to the American continent.
For the past several decades the Brit
ish possessions have belonged to the
United States economically, for the
bulk of their trade has been with
America and only small part of it
with the mother country. Linguistical-
ly there is no choice. pathetically,
assuming that the wishes of the IN
habitants are to be taken into con-
s!deration, there is little doubt that
the islanders would vote TO join them
selves to the United States The ex-
ample of Porto Rico before their eyes,
where poor people prospered with
American aid, is too striking to pass
unobserved. Moreover, they realize
that they are no longer the favorites
of England. Their cities have fallen
INTO decay. In some regions there are
even taxes on mprovemenrs-seem

under British rule are not prosperous

The ri3ls of resolution that recently have inspired earnest and impressive but locally scattered manifestations of disapproval for demonstrations of disloyalty or erroneous concepts of civic obligation are gathered into one mighty stream.

Suppose you loved someone very

obstacle between you ana complete
happiness was a lack of a marriage
license? Then it would follow logic
ally that you would talk TO each other
about it and when you both had
agreed on the subject, probably one
Of you would lean over and the other
would come halt way at least and
well, you know how it would happen.
And then think of someone opening
the door suddenly and accusing you
of not being exactly on the level!
That's one of the unusual situations
in Dorothy Gish's new Paramount
picture, Poppy Polly which will
come TO the IL" theater TO-DAY and to-

is the matron Of the reform school
