letter from Arc hbishop Platon. preate OF the
Holy Orthodox Russian church. metropolitan of
Kherson and Odessa addressed to all Christians Of
whatever sect throughout the United states, de-
olares that bolshevism is not socialism;
"AH that has occurred in Russia has nothing
10 do with either socialism or communism or
with any other demo cratic forms of social
structure in nations bolshevism is organized
terror and the complete negation of orderly
revolution"
This makes interesting distinction for those
who have confused socialism with boshevism, and
believed AN socialists anarchists.
There are socialists who have upheld
the bolsheyst methods. but among those who be

many people who have been working. as have the

ARMISTICE DAY.

An Alabama post Of the American Legion urges

the world.
ThoughtfuI people realized on Nov u. 1918 that
the end had not yer come There long, difficult
days ahead with their fun quota Of anguish and suf-
ferng Everybody realizes todly that this period of
social physical economic and moral reconstruction
in which the whole world is struggling for
peace and safety and happiness is fun Of problems
Just as perplexng and dangers just as real as those

The signing OF the peace treaty and its retihca-

armisticc was sudden and definite. II sent thrill
around tho world and renewed the courage of war
weary peoples in practically every corner Of the
earth II was a day on which the hopes and longings
Of men and women from both east and west were

Simple Operations
Fitted Together

The business of Swift & Company is
the fitting together of many simple
operations.
No one thing in packing business is
particularly difficult for men trained to
do it; but no one thing is enough.
Thousands of other operations, pro-
perly performed, are necessary for the COM
pleted processes. And some one must
fit together all these thousands of simple
operations.
The success with which a packing
business performs its function of supplying
the best possible meat products to the con-
sumner with the greatest possible benefit
to both him and the producer depends upon
the energy, brains, experience, and faith
fuleffort of the men trained in the business.
Swift & Company turns the producers
live stock into meat for the consumer at
profit of only fraction of cent pound,
because it fits these operations together
with the least waste, overlapping, and
friction.
Do you believe government direction
could do it better2

REGULARS SHEL.VE:
Ma |ONAL GUARD
OFFICERS, CHARGE
Representative GaIIivan Says
Men Were Removed for No
Other Reason but 10 Make
Room for Regulars,

Washington, Feb - Rciteruting
in the house today charges that ma
tional guard officers We're removed
from their commands after practical
ly continuous fighting service to make
room for regulars, Representative
Gallivan of Massa achusetts democrat,
read letter signed by forty wounded
officers saying investigation would
prove that medical officers had been
ordered to report as unfit who might
replace the regulars first assigned for
duty.
The letter also asserted that ma
tional guard officers and reserves
were sent into the thick of the fight
ing while the regular army men were
held back. Asked by Representative
Hamilton of Michigan who was re-
sponsible for the removal of the ma
tional guard officers after months of
service on the front line. Mr.. Gallivan
said it was due to "the Leavenworth
clique by its, influence with the high
command" The high command"
he explained, was the general staff in
Washington.
Referring to Mai Gen Leonard
Wood the letter read hv the Massa-
chusetts representative said:
When General Wood visited the
front he was treated more like a Ger
man spy than an officer of the United
States. We have the word of several
colonies 4httt hfrJH hfla FaH 70, filsa.
He was ordered back from his visit
here without being allowed to visit
the Italian front. or returning through
England as he was invited to do by
Lloyd George.
General Wood was the Idol of the
army, officers and men alike. and
was one of the most efficient officers,
yet he was kept on q corner all the
time. Who did it?''
we can prove also that scores Of
men were sacrificed because officers
in command were anxious for promo
ton" the letter also declared We
know of Il national guard colonel re-
lieved of command after a successful
advance and Sent back to the service
of supply because of jealousy"
The letter concluded by saying the
officers signing ii were of various
political affiliations. Eight said they
were national army Officers, four ma
tional guard officers and the remain
der reserves. Their names were not
made public by Mr. Gallivan.

sympathy for the ex-Kaiser in his
exile is openly expressed by the ultra
conservative press. The Lokal- An
zeiger says:
Lonely and broken, the Kaiser,
an involuntary exile, steps over the
Threshold into old age. Behind Wil-
helm lies a rich life ending in the
dreadful four years of war, durinv
which his tortured soul fell from
proud posts to bitter disappointment
when each victorious JOY was drown
ed in a flood Of calumny.
Before him lies dark and joyless
future. over his head the hatred of
the whole world susfends Damocfes
sword judgment. the necessity for
which is proclaimed by authorities
called up by his accusers to make the
intended miscarriage of justice ap-
pear to the world as a deed Of right
eousness.
Victors May Cut Thread.
ut is possible that the victors.
who, on account of Germany's COM
plete breakdown. can force any in
justice, may cut the thread of the
hanging sword on the sixtieth birth
day of their most hated enemy 1t is
wholly within the law of humanity to
express to his man in his misery that
he is remembered in love and yenera-
tion. 1t must be expressed to him
that in the thirty years when he wore
the crown with all the rich blessings
he brought to Germany, the people
cannot be deprived of this brightness
by the judgment of the entire world.
"The only consolation we can give
him is to tell him that millions of
German hearts feel deeply that this
awful accusation made against him
only wells the guilt of his accusers
and to justify his punishment-al-
though the people are equally guilty
and to tell him that this judgment
cannot stand before the tribunal of
world history"
Congratulations to Ex-Kaiser
Courage to print this kind of thing
comes from long lists of congratula-
tions sent to the former Kaiser 1t
also represents that small but bitter
portion of the people who will not
admit yet that they are defeated, and
whoe utteranees constantly tend to
prove the necessity for firm armistice
conditions for which the whole Ger
man people, suffer.
Their political unimportance is
shown by sundays vote for the Prus-
sian Assembly, in which the Demo-
cratic, Social Democratic and Inde-
pendent Socialist vote has completely
showed under the reactionary which
talks in words such as / have quoted

bumptious arrogance is expressed,

terfte IS bound to hold defeated Ger
