WHY OUR MEN WERE KILLED.

Governor Allen of Kansas, who
spent many months in France in Red
Cross and Y. NJ. C. A. work. tells why
the American losses during the last
days of the fighting were so heavy,
The Thirty-fifth division, composed
largely of Kansas and Missouri men,
lost more than seven thousand fight
ers in the Argonne, because they were
not supported by artillery and be-
cause they were not protected by
American airplanes.
What was true of the Thirty fifth
was also true of other divisions. nota-
bly, the Wild Cat" division. made up
of men from the mountains of the
south. That division lost nearly eight
thousand men out of about seventeen
thousand on the fighting front.
The war department admits replace
ments of over ten thousand men in
the Thirty fifth.
The Germans had supremacy in the
air and the American artillery could
not be brought IN. because horses
were lacking and we did not have a
supply of tractors for our guns, as
the French and British had for theirs.

fact that we are detached and dlsln-

to say about Frances foreign policy
than France likes to admit. Bolshe-

"FEED THE BRUTE"

The president has sent message to
congress urging the appropriation of
one hundred million dollars for the
purchase of food for the peoples of
Europe menaced by Bolshevism. He

to hunger.
Congress is going to meet the pres

and the manner of expenditures,

suit of this investigation, according to
a member of the council who is a
member of the committee. Charges
and counter charges are expected as a
result and the people of Clovis may
see something Sensational soon. The
report of the committee is to be pub

Petitions are being circulated and
will be presented to the city council
requesting the paving of the south end
of Main street: Grand avenue for two

not taking this Russian stuff quite as
readily as we might.
III we try to keep Fellow the surface
and then reason on what we see, we
find that the Bolshevism in Russia is
a good deal like the old absolute man
archy of the Car; only instead of the
wealthy landowners and mobiles rum
ming everything, the soldiers and
workmen of the cities are doing it,
There are three kinds of govern
ment: plusocracy, democracy, Bolshe-
vism. In the first the rich have the
power. and exploit the poor, In the
last the poor have the power and ex-
plot the rich We believe in damoc-
racy, government of the people, for
the people, by the people--not one
class or another class. but all the peo-
pie together.
Here in this country we have some
BolsheVists, only we call them l. w.
WIS. They are recruited from the
ranks of those who through laziness,
or shiftlessness. or mental incapac-
ity or disease, or hard luck have Civ
en- up all hone of succeeding under
present conditions They are used to
hunger and cold They have nothing
to lose by complete overthrow of
government. In fact. they feel sure
that under a new regime they'd be
better off.
Now when times are good and there
is plenty of work there are not many
Bolshevists. But any man who is cold
and hungry and discouraged for a
long enough time is likely TO become
one. In Russia, times have been bad
for a long while. Our magazines have
printed stories about how this noble
lady or that countess suffered. Why,
the peasants not only took away most
of their land but they actually ex-
pected these ladies to work the same
as thev did, and eat the same kind of
food. This was dreadful from the
point of view of the ladies, but there
is something reasonable about the
peasants attitude also.
However that is, there are n good
many Rolshevists in Russia, and their
government has been much more
stable than anybody supposed possi-
bic. To he sure they have committed
outrages, much as the cars govern
ment did There seem to be more
murders but fewer exiles TO Siberia.
Both kinds of government are fun
