ROUTING BoLsHEvIsM IN RUSSIA.

We have long wanted some means OF knowing
| the truth about conditions in bolshevlk RUSSIA.
Nothing could be more diverse than what we
have been told about those conditions by var
ous publicists, some of them our own citizens.
For instance, the published evidence given the
senate committee by Ambassador Francis and
Raymond Robins differs completely as to al
legged facts and in deductions made from those
facts.
Now for the first time comes report from
an American agency that has earned pubic
confidence for the information it made public
The American relief administration is in touch
with bolshevik Russia at Riga, and Mr. Hoover
has published the report sent in by Captain
Howell who is in charge OF the relief work be-
ing done with Riga as headquarters. The de-
tails of this report cannot be given here: but
they substantiate to the full the claims made
by the anti-bolshevist publicity given out by the
Russians and by those who have visited Russia.
The people are starving by thousands. "One
hundred and eighty-seven thousand here, = says
the relief administration report, ''are receiving
one meal day from eighty kitchens establish
ed by our expedition It is estimated that be-
tween ten and fifteen thousand people are ser
iously i'll from starvation. Encouraged by the
arrival of American food, the inhabitants are
gradually recognizing the city government,
many volunteering for service with the anti
bolshevists.''
The whole report is a picture of people
cowed into submission to tyranny worse than
any known under czarism; of people without
money, food, supplies, means of earning; with
out hope Mr. Hoover from the first has said
that he could meet bolshevism and rout it with
a square meal and the hope of earning living.
This report seems to justify his belief.

VAGUE PROGRESS.

Three weeks ago this nation was alertly in
terested in the prosecution of the campaign
against the bomb plotters Now mild state
ment would be that interest is abating. From
time to time come reports from Washington.
New York City, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
that the investigation sis making progress =
and that officials expect 10 show gratifying re-
suits in the near future. Secrecy is of course
necessary to the work the department OF justice
is doing, even more secrecy Of a sort than IS
maintained The people must trust that the
vague progress report is evidence Of something
that is really counting for future protection.
But the point most to be noted is that IN pro
portion as no concrete facts are given the pub
lie of the running down Of anarchlc agents. the
public loses interest In the whole matter. A
logical attitude would be that Of growing inter
est and focusing of public viii because there is
no definite assurance that the nucleus OF the
menace has been found. There have been some
court decisions making possible deportat1ons
that were contested and these are encouraging.
One major difficulty for the secret service has
been to make a case'' that would stand the
technical scrutiny Of the courts, even where no
reasonable doubt existed Of the defendants I'M
desirability as resident of this country Attor-
ney General Palmer seems likely to get the
money he asks for 10 finance the government $
campaign against anarchy and the nation has
every right to watch for It's moneys worth III

is NOT SURPRISING.

burlington Gazette: The sinking OF
part of the interned German fleet at
Scapa Flow Saturday by German
sailors is not surprising The Ger
mans had nothing to gain by the act
and it was distinct violation of the
arnistice, but they no doubt thought
they were performing a wonderfully
heroic act
BY the terms of the armfstice, the
crews of the boats were permitted TO
remain on board and no British guards
were allowed on the boats. In other
words, the Germans were placed upon
their honor" and proved in this case,
as in many others, that they pos
sessed no such thing as honor.
The sinking of the boats will serve
tc put the allied peoples on their
guard against trusting the Germans
t. freely in the events that follow the
signing of the peace treaty.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

| Davenport Times: The Scapa Flow
incident savors strongly of the mock
( heroic. 1t Is difficult to view the
proceeding in any other light. The
German officers and crews allowed by
the British TO remain on the ships
acted in spirit of pure cussedness.
just to show that they regard the ar
mistice agreement as nothing put "a
scrap of paper"
Ottumwa Courier: The destruction
Of surrendered German warships by
their crews in British waters Is the
newest dramatic incident illustrating
the nature OF the blond beast. The
| fact that this bit of sabotage comes
just at the moment when the German
government is pleading with the al
! lies for easier peace terms is indlca-
tive of the German nature which, after
ell, must come to the surface Just as
fate must operate.
Carroll Herald: We don't look for
rluch difference in the result of cleo
lions In Iowa because the women will
yate. The relative strength Of the
leading parties will be the same,
though 1t probably will be harder for
crooked politicians to get by and
reach official preferment.
| Marshalltown Times Republican,:
If we expect. or hope that some day
and somehow roads will grow like
sooseberries we are doomed to dis
appointment Well have to pay for
them If We have them.
| Charter Oak Times: Wherever cleo
lions have been held Except In Story
county, the good roads proposition
has carried You see, all those whose
| land is mile or two from the roads
want the paving because it will cost
them nothing and those near the line
want it because 1t will increase the
value of the land so much The only
fellow who votes against 1t is the one
| in town too poor to buy car, and
there are not many of him.
Manson Journal: Jim Pierce de-
clares that the returned soldiers who
are calling upon him for an explana-
ton of his conduct during the war are
only playing politics. Well, what has
Pierce been doing all the past forty
OF more years? Politics Is great
game.
Humboldt Republican,: In his last
Homestead Uncle Jim raved at some
length. He accused LATE Young OF
sticking the boys on and declared that
the rotten, grating politicians of the
state are trying to kill the farmers
and himself. That is the humorous
part of it. He places the farmers
first, see? Says the soldiers are after
the farmers and Pierce. He is doing
his best to pull the farmers in front
OF himself as a breastwork.
Manson Democrat: There is nc
blue sky" or "watered stock" in Iowa
land. The man who has invested his
money in it is getting big returns.
while the holders of the various PRO
notion stocks are either holding the
sack or getting ready to. And that
reminds us again that Iowa land does
not grow oranges. grapefruit or Eng
lish walnuts; 1t has no champagne
springs OF rock candy mountains, but
| 1t does grow the things that all the
peoples Of the world must have to eat
liz they wish to live-bread and meat.
Do you get the point?

NOBODY TALKS TURKEY TO US

We know what other nations are getting out
of the war and neither envy them nor object.
We know that Great Britain gets vast terri
tories to which she is well entitled as the nation
which can rule them best. We know that
France, Italy, Greece get territories which be-
long to them by right and should in fact We
know what is conceded to Japan. We know
that Holland which preserved neutrality and
grew rich without risk, retains her East Indian
islands, vast and populous which on the whole
she governs well. But who can point to any
thing America gets, to a square league of land
anywhere upon the globe which has been Offered
to US?

THE "REAcTlonARY" eoMPERs.

Ottumwa Courier: Samuel Com
Iers, denounced by socialists VIII
have crept into the American Fedora
ton of Labor because, according t
their lights, he is too conservative
gave his critics strong answer in hi
recent address, when he said:
The difficulty is, my friends,
that there are some people who
won't understand the real facts of
life, and that it isn't declarations
which count, but the exercise of
normal activities. / want the
stars in the heavens My aspira-
items know no limit for my fellow
men, but / am vain enough to be-
lieve tina. I have some common
sense and understanding Of the
operations of the human mind. l
am not going to give UP voluntar-
ily the labor movement with its
achievements of today to look for
the chimerical tomorrow. I think
the greatest, the most radical, the
most idealistic and the most fan
tastical declaration which any
body of men has made has been
by the bolshiviki of Russia. And
they have lost, not only the meat
from the bone but the bone itself,
and have not even the shadow.
They went out for the maximum
for the masses, for land, bread
and peace, and they haven't got
their land, or bread or peace. We
prefer to go on in this normal
way of trying to make the condi-
tons of life and labor better to-
day than they We're yesterday;
and better tomorrow and tomor-
row and tomorrow's tomorrow
than each day that has gone be-
fore.
Gompers is too slow and reaction
ary' for the socialists. He is too slow
also, for the bolshevists. He is /;
practical fellow, with admirable aim:
and definite program for attaining

House, though strong and stout,
was out of condition and though
he made good showing in the
first round, his wind was not in
shape to stay, much longer. There
were claims of fouling on each
side, on account of agreements on
a clean breakaway and referee
Neale Bennett Jr., and the judges
Nathan Glover, Charley Nelson,

Anderson had fouled House by
hitting him in the breakaway.
Many of the spectators did not
agree with the decision, but it
