ABOUT BOLSHEVISM
Editor, The Evening Caledonian,

Editor, The Evening Caledonian,
Dear SIR
When reading the letter by the To-
cal pastor printed in your columns
last week, / noted that he falls into
the same rut that many people and
newspapers do when they class the
anarchists, the I. w. W., and the
Rolsheviki, with the Socialists. AS
/ understood true Socialists, they
believe in government ownership ana
control, while all the other orders
named are opposed to all kinds OF
government. So I call them the Two
Extremes.
I have no use for any class Of
people that try to raise the Red Flag
in this country. And it is not the
flag of the socialists. would like
to see Congress "get onto its job
and put through a. law that woulc
call out a shooting squad and max
target of any man or party of men
| that insisted on carrying a red flag
excepting of course a college flag like
. Harvard's, which is not solid red.
The red flag represents the arna-
chists and l. w. WIS, but not the
! true socialists. The papers cannot
print more than they should against
| the anarchists and the I. w. w. or
ders in this country. They might
wake up some Senator or Represen-

the times and that would be worth
something. I would take the chance
Of "antagonizing the socialists For

enough for them. believe that trade
unions, properly controlled, are all
right and proper. But the anarchists
or the I. w. WIS are NOT trade

NAVAL POWER is
TO BE STRONG
MIR. Daniels Says America Must Give
as Much as Any Other Nation
to Peace League Force

Annapolis, Md, Feb. 5-Three
hundred and fifty-one men of the
Naval Reserve Force JAM 81 complet-
led fifteen week course at the Naval
Academy and received temporary
commissions as ensigns from the
hands of Secretary Daniels. Secretary
Daniels and Rear Admiral Edward
w. Eberle, Superintendent of the
Academy, made addresses.
"Take with you the spirit of the
Naval Academy, take with you the
logged determination of the Navy,
and you will render good service to
the nation, whether at sea or on
Shore" Rear Admiral Eberle told the
class.
1t was announced that Rear Admi-
raj Eberle, Superintendent of the
Academy since September 20, 1915,
had been ordered to the command of
the Fifth Division of the battleship
fleet, with the Utah as his flagship.
He will be succeeded by Rear Admir-
al A. HI. Scales, now commanding the
Department of the Great Lakes. Ad-
miral Eberle asked for sea duty when
the United States entered the war,
but Secretary Daniels announced
that his work at the Naval Academy
made it necessary for him to stay
there.
"Not in your day, the naval Secre-
tary told the young officers, twill
there be any reduction of naval pow
er. We are now on the last stretch
of building the three year program of
naval construction which was auth
orized three years ago."
Secretary Daniels said the types of
vessels to be constructed under the
new three-year building programme
would keep our navy abreast Of any
navy in the world
"We shall not build against any
nation" Mr. Daniels added, because
we have faith that the league of
peace will bring about such friend
ship and understanding among ma
tions as will ultimately cause reduc-
ton in armament and a consequent
decrease of expenditures for naval

The general athletic awakening Is
perhaps the most important effect that
our occupation of the Philippines has
had upon the far East. just as the ole
Olympic games, begun by one village
grew to be thu great recurrin-- event al
which all the Hellenic peoples could
meet in peaceful competition, so this
modern athletic movement starting
from Bagnio has spread to other fan
eastern peoples, and has given then
not only ground for friendly meeting

ATTORNEY GENERAL
 GIVES HIS OPINION
 ON SENATE BILL 90

Attorney General Wiley E. Jones has issued his opinion on the construction of Senate Bill 90. on the request of the state auditor. The bill is one restrict ing the expenditure of state funds. and it had been feared that its provisions might very seriously embarrass the ad ministration of @. number of state de- partments, particularly those operating under so-called continuing appropri ations.
 The attorney general, in the matter of continuing appropriations, says that, Senate bill 90 does not seem to affect statutory annual appropriations. nor does it affect any other appropri ations that expire June 90, 1919.'
 The biggest department of the state that it was at first feared would be curtailed by this bill is the tax com mission, but it issued a statement based upon the opinion of Attorney Will H. Ryan, to the effect that it did not believe its work would be affected, and this is further strengthened by the opinion of the attorney general
 From the language used it will be seen that the expenditures are limited to the amount specifically appropri- ated,' says the opinion. It states that this interpretation was evidently in tended by the legislature when they passed supplementary appropriation to the school funds of $125,000, which is equivalent to the annual income Of the schools from state land rentals.
 In the matter of highway department funds the opinion states, T would state also that the road fund designated by law as such is separate from the gen eral fund and is not q part thereof as it is raised bv taxation for the specific
