Thousands Put to Death.

Thousands of sympathizers with
the allies have been put to death by
the red army and many more are
awaiting certain execution. Also from
tactical point of view success of the
red army increases her self-confidence
and therefore her military power, and
increases her authority in the eyes
OF the population. The uneducated
population of Russia, being in the ma
Jorlty, cannot understand the reason
OF the small numbers of allied troops.
and this is taken by them to show a
weakness of tine allies against Ger
many. 1 would like to know how long
the allies will test the sympathy of
Russia and how long we must wait
for the much-needed assistance. You
cannot realize how many officers have
been killed by bolsheviki for their
sympathy with the allies during my
stay in Russia since October, 1917.
and not long ago you may have read
! in your papers that families of eighty
seven officers were executed because
these officers had joined the army of
the allies.
War is over against Germany and
her supporters only on one front
There is no telling what may hap
! pen on the eastern frontier il the
much-needed assistance is not forth
coming. For all Russia did in the
early days of the war she should get
return help and not be left to fight
alone. II you don't help Russia with
your armies as she did for you, you
should support by money. ammuni-
tion and foodstuffs these Russians
who are engaged in fighting bolsheY-
| ism-the ally of Germany. AS soon
as order is restored in Russia, she
will repay her loan to the allies. II
looks to me as though the price of
this support should be included in in

FRANCE LOST HEAVILY
IN FORESTS BY WAR
Belgium Deprived Of Trees, While
Great Britain and Italy
Made Sacrifices.

One and a half million acres of for

In Belgium practically all of the tim
cut down by the German army and
used for fuel wood, .or sent back to
Germany. In Great Britain about
$4,000 acres of forest We're cut down
for wartime needs. Italy also made
great sacrifices for war work.
Provided Germany is made to pay
indemnities for these losses from her
own public forests, it is estimated,
there would be required to do the
lob 100 millions of labor days. To
c:ean up this work in a years time
would require 100000 men. Were the
work prorated over a five-year period,
81, 700 woodsmen would be sufficient.

On Guard Against France.

4 hundred years ago. when Europe
liouidated the Napoleonic wars. its
greatest concern was to erect cub
stantial barriers against a return of
France. To do this. she put Prussia
on guard on the Rhine, transferred
Belgium to Holland, sacrificed all the
considerations OF humanity and JUS
tice in the east to preserve an ALI
ance between Austria. Prussia and
Russia which should be capable of
coping with France. The result of
this policy was at last revealed in the
recent war. The subject nationalities
supplied Germany and Austria with
the capacity for attacking western
civilization.

say that the terror in Russia was suf-

Mr.. Sisson's documents bearing out
this statement were published by the
committee on public information, and
bolshevism was condemned by Presi-

his address to the neutral govern

popular that they are frequently
quoted by agricultural and home

He has discovered many unexpected

He has done all this pioneer work
with no thought of personal profit or

lifetime friend.
Defines Attitude of Public.
When asked about the attitude of
the public toward some of his timely
discoveries, he said. with a knowing
smile and a bright CLEAN in his eyes:
"Discoveries: you know know: must must. pass ss
least-each one of which is important
and quite natural.
The first thing is the knocking
stage. Any new article that is offered
to the public must meet certain hos
tile critics who say: This thing is no
good: the man who puts This claim
forward is very foolish; we don't want
this newfangled thing; the old things
are good enough for u.s. Any new ar
ticle must meet successfully all the
hostile tests. 1t must prove its su
periority.
Then follows a stage of total apathy
when everybody apparently conspires
to remain silent Those who know
the facts concerning the discovery
and know nothing against it just keep
quiet or say. Let this new thing die

know the facts lose their~interest in
opposing the discovery.
There always comes to really val
liable and significant discovery, how
ever. that Interesting third stage

seems fated to lose as a result of her

The transformation of Austria Hun
gary has been almost as sweeping.
Austria proper. cropping her way un-
der shadowy republican govern
ment. seems now trying to become
republican Germany. The government
that has risen on the ruins of mon-
archy in Hungary is also republican
in form. Bohemia and Moravia are
now parts of the Czechoslovak repub-
lie and Galicia, formerly Austrian
lican Poles and republican Ukrain-
ians.
But at this point the case of Aus
tria Hungary diverges from that Of
Germany. Strange as it may seem
in this day of crashing thrones, there
are some European Kingdoms which
are actually on the road to increas-
ing their territory. Pennsylvania and
Bukovina. formerly under Austro-
Hungarian rule. will doubtless go to
the kingdom Of Rumania. and. no
matter how the eItalian-Jugoslav quar-
rel is decided. the former Austro-
Hungarian territories in dispute will

the king of the new Jugoslavic state

sovereign. Similarly. Bosnia and
Herzegovina will, in all proba bility,
go to the Jugoslavic monarchy, and

part of Jugoslavia or of the king
