BOISHEvIKI GAIN HEADWAY
IN RUSSIA SAYS REPORTS

Washington. Jan. S.-Advices to
the state department today announce
that returning Russian prisoners OF
war on coming out OF Austrla-Hun-
gary and Germany are being offered
800 rubles monthly, clothing and
food to join the Bolshevik Red
army. According to this informa-
tion few OF the prisoners accept this
offer and popular feeling in Russia
is strongly against the Bolshevlki.
Nevertheless, the power of the Boil
sheviki is reported on the increase
since the recapture of Kazan and
Samara from the Czechs. Their
forces are now said to be concen-
trating on the Ukrainian front.
One prisoner declared that when
typhus struck the Russian prison
camps in Germany his comrades died
at the rate OF 500 a day. 1t was re.
ported that 100000 died in prison

WARSAW, February "a

WARSAW, February "a.
TROTZKY has become the worlds
greatest publisher, says writer
IA in the Russian paper "Watshav-
skaya Reich" this morning, and
warns the world not to take Trotzky's
ability as publisher lightly, not to ig
more it, but to go into competition with
him.
"Tens of thousands Of pools Ia pood
is 80 American pounds) of Bolshevist
literature in all languages and dialects
have recently been printed by the Boil
shevists," says the writer, "and they are
now discharging this literature upon the
world. This last weapon of Bolshevism,
the printed word, which at first was not
taken seriously, has proved most pow
erful factor. If the Bolsheviks still hold
themselves In power in Russia it is due
in large measure to the enormous
quantities Of glowing propaganda litcra-
ture that they spread. All those who
stand guard over true democracy had
better begin at once to meet the enemy
with his own weapon. Let them deny
the printed lies of the Bolsheviks with
printed truth.
"A student Of the Moscow Polytechnic
who had just arrived in Warsaw, with
whom / had an extended talk, corrobo-
rated the above statement with regard to
the effectiveness with which the Boil
sheviks are using the printing press to
gain popularity for Bolshevism
90 The Bolsheviks, said this student,
are succeeding in impressing the people
with tho belief that Bolshevism is the
best system Of society that the world

paper called 'Vperiod' (Forward) which
was just beginning to appear. As a
matter of fact people are afraid to pro-
test. 1t is far more dangerous to
protest against the government than it
was under the Gar, for, as you may
already know, the Bolsheviki have abol-
lshed all courts and dispensed with all
lawyers.
Men in Russia are now judged not in
accordance with law, for they derde the
old law, but in accordance with con-
science 'po soviesty,' it is called in
Russian. The soviet government ap-
points a judge. Most often the Judge
is working man. He is, of course,
faithful Bolshevik or he would not get the
appointment. Any one can accuse the
defendant or speak in his favor and then
judge and jury decide the case according
to the impression the accused and his
defenders have made upon them. As
there are no appeals and no legal tech
nlcalities to invoke, it goes without say
Ing that a rebel against the Bolshevik
government has every chance to be shot
five minutes after the verdict is pro-
nounced against him. Men therefore do

"The Bolshevist government is at pres
ent concerned almost exclusively with
the question of building up large army
Everything else is made to wait while
the army is being built up. Trotzky is
seldom in Moscow, but spends most of
his time at the front.
"The Bolshevik army, military men in
Russia now admit, is much better disci-
pinned than the army under the Gar
had ever been. And this is hardly to be
wondered at. The Russian army is to-
day the most privileged class in the coun
try; it is much more privileged than the
army had ever been under the Cars
"The army has everything of the best
and in sufficient quantities. Because of
the need of supplying everything to the
army the civil life of Moscow has sunk
to low level. Streetcars run only to
seven o'clock in the evening and then
there are SO few of them that most men
prefer to walk rather than wait for
car.
