1t is no paradox perhaps to predict
that bolshevism dead may prove to
be more powerful and dangerous
than bolshevism living. A sort of
Messianic dream and glowing, pene-

not easy to extinguish it. Merely. to
kill men is not to kill such a faith
and hope, which Is hardy and has its
roots deep down in human nature.
Merely to replace bolshevism by a
military dictatorship in Russia will
be simply to invite speedy counter

the bolshevist legend. Martyrs are

possible policy will be to nourish the

Withdrawal Caused Panic.


The Lithuanian army I found in
process of retirement. 1t was only
slight withdrawal, but, slight as it
was, it had caused a virtual panic
over the whole countryside. The
peasants refused to take me anywhere
near the fighting lines for fear that
their horses and carts would be requi-
sitioned by the Lithuanian forces or,
still worse, would be confscated by
the bolsheviki. Such WORKOUT and
emaciated horses as are left to the
peasantry after the reckless requisi-
tionings of the Russian army, then
three years of German occupation.
and more recently bolshevist inroads.
are so scarce and at this time of year
SO needful that the mere thought of
losing his horse set a peasant trem-
bling. No money could induce any
Of them to undertake the adventure.
So great, in fact. was the panic Great
ed by the reports of the 'bolshevist adj
vance that the small land-owning
class and even the peasants had driv-
en- their horses and cattle many miles
away to the rear.
Under these circumstances 1t was
in vain that urged the peasant driver
Of my little springless cart to push
on. The only way was to go afoot,
but my permit allowed me to cross
no fighting was going on. AS, how
ever, the activity Of both the boil
sheviki and the Lithuanian forces was
evidently increasing at this point,
there was nothing fer us but to re-
turn to Kovno and reconsider the
situation.
Was any other route available? Here
1t was pointed out to me that while
1t was still possible to push through
to Moscow by travelling good deal
on foot, the prospects OF getting back
were extremely slight. In q very few
big changes that no arrangements one
made now would hold good. The Dol
shevist position is very desperate. and
it was clear that ere long the from
tier might be Theoretically sealed.
Obviously newspaper correspond
munications with his paper. This is
especially necessary today, when 1t Is
all important for the outside world to
know what is happening In Russia l
thought 1t therefore impracticable TO
enter Russia under such circum.
my journey I encountered SO many
Russians, Lithuanians and others.
many Of whom had only just LETT
Russia and could speak intimately
about the situation there and OF the
aspirations and designs of the anti
quickly to construct a vivid picture
Of conditions in Russia and what we
may expect in the near future.
Ny journey through the. villages
and small towns of Lthuania. where
bolshevist rule had been established
for four months, and which had only
recently been, occupied by the Lthua-
nian forces, was also very instructive.
The peasants told me their simple
artless stories as I passed from VII.
lage to village. and I confess that
what they told me was glimpse
into the abyss. In long conversations:
and after careful interrogations OF
Lithuanian peasants. l was able to
understand how and why the boil
sheviki. who. by all the evidence. had
ness and hope, had made themselves
disliked and feared. But the more
people encountered the more be- g.

fact, I found that a certain faint

He then ordered a white eand green

hoisted from the roof. This was i'm
possible, because the men sent to

KOvNO. Lithuania, May 81 (De-
layed).-I have just returned from a
trip into the interior Of Lithuania,
that is, into what was formerly the
Russian government district of Kovno.
It had been my intention to push
through to Moscow and report upon
the conditions in soviet Russia, but l
did not succeed in getting through.
Only a couple of weeks before, this
route to Moscow had been open, but
when I arrived I found it very hard
to reach the bolshevist lines, the diff
culties being mainly technical-the
absence of transport facilities.
On both sides Of the front the rail-
roads are destroyed. horses are very
scarce, and one had to walk miles
through a devastated country-a sort
Of no mans land. A pass from the
German foreign Office and the Lith-
uanian general staff enabled me to
reach the most eastern point Of the
Lithuanian lines, and / might have
succeeded in penetrating into Russia
but for a sudden bolshevist advance
on that particular part of the Lfth-
uanfan front

Lifc's Struggle.

Yesterday ! watched struggle be-
tween a spider and a wasp that taught
me lesson no written, printed or
spoken words could have done. The
wasp was caught in the web by It's
two main legs. o. how II struggled
TO liberatc itself. II fluttcred its
wings and swung round and round
many times, uttcring, cries of distress
weakened. the spider ran down throw
ing out new webs to strengthen II.
The wasp would try 10 sting the spider,
but the wary fellow kept just out Of
reach. At times the wasp stopped
struggling and seemed ready to give
up. Then the spider ran down, throw
ing out new webs and would try 10 get
in lis death sting. The wasp, at once
realizing its danger, would renew its
struggle. II would whirl and pull, then
would reach up above and take hold Of
the thread, holding il and chewing Il
hard and fast. Then again, the
spider would run down, throwing out
new webs. After twenty or thirty
minutes of the desperate struggle, the
wasp Broke loose and with an eXultant
buzz flew away to freedom. Then !
said, "Thank God" thought once
would end II by killing both, then
came the thought, "No, this is Gods
work. I'll see how il ends" Once
thought to libcrate the wasp, but
something held me back and impelled
me to watch, and | am SO glad ! did
for that sight has given me stronger
determination to win lfe's battle. II
has given me renewed hope and cour-
age. How do we know that wasp did
not pray for life while it worked? We
know this, God'gavc il the knowledge
and power and il used both. How
many of US are caught in webs? Some
in webs of sin, many in webs of sor-
row and encouragement, No matter
what kind of web is holding US, let
us do as that wasp did, struggle until
we are free. While working and strug-
Cling for freedom, ask God for
strength and guidance. "God helps

THE HOUSE FLY,

One of mans most dangerous enc
mics Is the fly. This insect Is the
filthest and dirtiest of all. Some in
sects destroy fruits and crops, but the
fly destroys human lives. Formerly
people did not think the fly was dan
gerous, only that II was torment to
baldheaded men, but now il is regard
ed as a carrier Of disease. In the
Suanish- American war the fly caused
more deaths on the American side
than the bullets.
There are four steps in the trans
formation from the egg to the adult
fly, the egg, the maggot, the pupa
and the fly. Early in the spring the
flies deposit their eggs in the manure
piles, stables and other things, The
eggs hatch and mature in from eight
to fourteen days. This is kept up un-
til frost in the fall.
The eggs are white, very small and
shaped like grains of wheat, The
maggot is hatched in three or five
days. The pest stays in the pupa
stage for about the same length OF
time. Then the full grown fly energies.
The descendants of this insect num-
ber 5,59S, ,720, 900 between q and Sep
tember 10. When the fly leaves the
privy-vault, spittoon or manure pile
he goes to the house, takes bath in
the milk and wipes his feet off on any
thing he can find, especially food,
The fly should be killed by all means
This pest may be prevented in the
following ways: Screen the privy-
vault; cover the manure bin; burn all
waste and garbage and screen your
house.
