revenue bureau, Nearly 500 inspect

be added to the force of 2.2S3 reve

for enforcement will be in working
order before the date when absolute
prohibition becomes effective.
This force of special agents will be
distributed among the districts where
law violation is threatened to the
largest extent and special attention
will be paid to cities where revenue
officials look for most persistent eff

to cooperate with local police, and TO
leave the greater part of the enforce

Manufacture to local police.
Although heretofore, liquor viola
tions have been found by revenue
agents mainly among moonshiners Of
southern mountains, however, prohl-
bition is expected to stimulate Illicit
distillation enormously in cities. One
aspect of liquor law violations has
grown out of the hundreds of recipes
for home manufacture of beer, wines
and even distilled liquors, now being
circulated in all parts of the country
Booklets and printed pamphlets of
these recipes have reached revenue
officials from scores of cities. 1t was
explained today that to make liquor
according to these recipes will con-
stitute clear violations of the law. al
though it was admitted it would be
difficult to prevent the manufacture
in most cases.

regula ton of the revenue bureau, be-

tax of $40 on each still or worm sold.

BOLSHEv|k ARMY
IS NUMEROUS BUT
POORLY EQUIPPED
Out of Total Of 100000 Men
Only 250,000 Are Combat
ants and Artillery Is Also
Very Scarce,
rsr MORNING .ouRrAL SPECIAL LEASED w,ssI

Berne, April 9.-The armies under
the command of the Bolshevik gov
ernment in Russia comprise approxi-
mately 100000 men but only about
250,000 of them are actual combat
ants, according to Information re-
ceived here from sources usually con
sideced reliable.
These forces are divided into fif-
teen armies of 1900 combatants
each Twelve of them are described
as completely organized Each army
consists of two or three divisions and
each division of two. three or four
regiments. The number of officers
and men in each regiment varies
from a few hundred to 1000,
The First army is under command
of Gen. Michael Touhatchevski, who,
until the Bolshevik revolution took
place, was a simple lieutenant in an
infantry regiment. His military edu-
cation is far from complete, but his
general staff is composed entirely of
officers who formerly belonged to the
Russian general staff so that they
compensate for the deficiencies of
their commander-in-c chief,
The Second army is headed by a
well organized general Slall WillCn III
cludes three eolonels who formerly
belonged to the Russian general staff
The commander-in- chief of the
Third army Is an individual who. up
to the time of the Bolshevik revolu-
tion, was sergeant in one of the
regiments of Siberian infantry. He
also is supported by general staff
composed of former Russian staff Of
ficers.
The fact that SO many officers of
the former Russian army have con-
sented to serve with the Bolsheviki
is one of the worst features of the
situation in Russia. Without them the
Bolsheviki would have been unable
to organize such military forces as
are now at their disposal. and their
dictatorship, based solely on violence
would have bee14 enaed long ago.
The artillery equipment of the Boil
shevik armies is declared to be very
incomplete. A division has, on an
average, from five to eight guns. Mu-
nitions are said to be scarce and their
supply is deficient. Munitions for the
infantry also are running short.
The chief of the central general
staff OF the Bolsheyik forces is Lett
named Watsetia.
