Against Communism.

Today thesmajority of Russians are
against communistic control of the
government, but they are more hostile
toward Gen. Denikine and the return
of the monarchy and the landlords.
The Russians, however, prefer the So
Wet form of government.
Gen. Denikine and the entente are
the best allies of the bolsheviki. and
are keeping them in power. Wherever
Cen Denikine's Cossacks and wild
tribesmen pass bolshevism gains n
new lease of life. If Gen. Deniline
were to defeat the red army this fall
it would not end the Russian prob
lem, but would introduce veritable
chaos, for bolshevism is certain to
come back with a vengeance. If given
peace the Russian people would quick
ly place more moderate elements in
stead of communists in the soviets
The Russian masses cry out. but
nobody needs their voice. In settling
the Russian problem the world for
got the Russian people. Its suffering
defies description. France wants its
pound of fiesh-debts contracted by
the cars. Lenin wants a social mil
lennium on earth. Between the two
a great country is being bled white.

AT WAR INQUIRY
Former Chancellor of Ger
many Asked Regarding
Peace Offer of 1916.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN. October 31.-Forme
Chancellor Won Bethmann Hollweg
was a witness today before the sub
committee of the national assembly
Investigating what had been the pos
sibilities of peace-making during the
course of the war. He was asked sew
eral searching questions by the COM
mittee.
Questions Propounded.
The committee requested answers
from DR.. Won Bethmann Hollweg, who
was chancellor when the war began
and held ONCE until July Il, 1917, to
the following questions:
First. Why did the central powers
make their peace offer on December
IL. 1916. when action by President
Wilson for peace had been suggested
by Germany, and a certain prospect
of such action was held out. at the
latest. for the end of December?
Second. Why were concrete peace
conditions not communicated to Presi-
dent Wilson?
Third. Why, instead of pursuing the
idea of action toward paoee by Presi-
dent Wilson, did Gerni.-.y assent to
ruthless submarine warfare if she
knew it would lead to war with the
United States?

ENTHUSIASM RIFE
AS A RESULT OF
DRUGGISTS OFFER
Scores Manifest Interest in
Free Distribution of Tru-
tona at Thistlethwaite's
Saturday Morning.

Great interest has been aroused in
Richmond by the announcement in
the Palladium that thirty-sfx bottles of
Trutona, the perfect tonic, that is now
being so widely used throughout the
country, are to be given free to thirty
six residents Of this city at the drug
store Of Glenn Thistlethwaite, begin
ming Saturday morning at $50 o'clock.
Judging from the interest aroused
in the announcement it is believed
that the thirty-six bottles of medicine
allotted to Richmond will be given
away in very short time. Numerous
inquiries have been received at This
tlethwaites drug stores by persons
who will avail themselves Of the op-
portunity Of receiving absolutely free
Of charge a one dollar bottle of Tru-
tona.
The Trutona expert will be in Rich
mond especially for the purpose Of
seeing to 1t that the free medicine is
given men and women who are suf-
fering from ailments that Trutona is
designed to overcome. Trutona is not
a cure-all, but the work Of one Of the
leading chemists in the Middle West
Thousands Of persons have testified
to the beneficial results they have de-
rived from Trutonas use for the treat
ment Of stomach, bowel and liver
troubles, catarrhal affections, nervous
ness, poor appetite and the like. It
is an excellent tonic and system puri-
fier and its use at this season Of the
year Is especially recommended

its appreciation of the generous policy
OF noninterference, Of pondiction,
which the general stan, A. e. F., has
held to from the start In its dealings
with US. It lent us about $4,000 francs
to start on-all long since paid back
and then let US severely alone.
Only one request, which was couch

came to US, in sixteen and one-half
months, from the high command. That
was when the Cine. adopted two

difference to our buck. At the con-
clusion Of their little talk. the lieuten-
ant-colonel's boss took his charge
gently by the hand, led him out behind
the headquarters caserne. and quietly
told him that boche named Guten-
berg discovered the art of printing In
sixteen samething-or-other; that it had
later been perfected by bleedtn'
Tommy named Caxtou; that q wild
Irishmau named Edmund Burke, whose
speech he must have read some time
in high school, once uttered some poig-
nant remarks about the fourth estate.
and that, to conclude with, this was
the year Of nineteen of the twentieth
century, together with some elucidat-
, ing remarks on the law Of grayitation
and the square Of the hypotenuse. The
story must have got around (yet we've
never printed 1t until now, for after
that we were able to work our own
sweet win practically unruffled.
"Fired out Of Army"
We could tell another story, too, II
we wanted to-and we do. A certain
high civilian dignitary Of our govern
ment, newly arrived in France, de-
cided to send out call through our
columns to any and all Of the bright
young men In the A. E. F. who, after
being demobilized, would like to work
| for his department. A buck private
was sent down to interview him, sized
the story up for what Ii was worth
and prepared to say good-by.
Now. see here" said the great man
In substance, 'if you don't play that
up Just as told you to, and don't put
it on the front page, I'll see General
Pershing In Chaumont Saturday and
I'll have you contaminated and fired
out Of the army"-that being the great
mans idea of condign punishment.
The buck grinned, said Eyes, sir
like nice little boy, and went away
He wrote three paragraphs on his in
terview. which was later cut down te
two by an elderly, ferocious and type
thrifty New England copy reader
and buried away ON Page 2.
Yet one more: One day We learned
that the A. P. M. was out hot after the
AWOL'S, and went round to his office
to CONFIRM 1t. He didn't want us tc
print the story at all, especially as tc
what would happen to them If they
didn't pull the prodigal son stuff. We
finally wheedled him into releasing the
yarn, and forthwith printed 1t.
Within FIVE days after publication Of
that story, 80 per cent of the AWOL's
in the A. E. r. had returned to theil
outfits.
How did we do it? That brings III
to another phase of our work-how we
got the paper, once it was made, ou1
| to all the army. For that we had 10;

MISS NAPIER TO WED.

interest in Columbia and Throughout
Richland county WIFI be that Of Miss
Dorothy Napier, who has been for the
last five years the efficient home DEM
pnstration agent in this county to
y. Rhett Clark, who heads the farm
demonstration work in :Richland. - Z
Miss Napier has resigned her posi-
tion: to take effect November /, and
is at present spending her vacation
at her heme in Greenwood.
Sincere regret. will be felt In the
rural, districts hereabout that Miss Ma
pier is to discontinue the work which
she has so successfully developed and
to which she has given so much OF
her capabiiity, energy and inspiring
personality.
When she entered this field as the
first home demonstration agent in
February, 1914, she had seven canning
clubs for girls with total enrolment
of 60 members.
Now she has to have two assist
arts, one in the city and one in the
county, to such an extent has the club
work grown. There are $50 girls en-
gagged in canning clubs,s 159 in bread
clubs, 100 in poultry clubs, 560 wo-
men and girls in the home demon
stration work Besides this Miss Ma
pier has introduced into nine schools
we'll equipped kitchens and has or
gsnized- two sewing clubs
The personal regard and confidence
which Miss Napier has won from the
country people was evidenced by the
cooperation which they gave her as
county chairman in three of the Lib
erty loan drives and two Of the Red
Cross roll calls.
It is gratifying to her many friends
in Columbia that she will continue to
live here after her marriage.-The
