SO Bradley's. friendship for little
blue eyed Anna ripened into love. and
when he told the vestry he had chosen
for his better half one of the girls who
constituted the toiling class within the
shadow of st. PauTs there was con-
sternation at first, and then-well. at
least it was picturesque. and Anna
looked very devout with her blue eyes
fixed on Bradley as she sat on Sundays
now to listen to him preach.
Then the engagement was an
nounced. and when Bradley asked
from the vestry instead of an increase
in salary permission to carry out his
plans for establishing an institutional
church of course they granted it
And even after they were married
Anna never finished telling Bradley
what before he<had never let her tell
that the day when she crouched there
by the church window she hadn't had
a thought concerning the beautiful
music She was simply trying to see
where her gray kitty went when he
stole away at dusk-church mice, of
course, it was that lured him. She
was trying to see il she could catch
him when he came out But she d1d
not tell Bradley. Bradley wanted to
think that it had been because her
starved little soul craved the beauty of
the music, the inspiration of old st.
PauIs. And Anna, being a tactful
daughter of Eve. let him think on.

THE COMING WAR.

1t is reported by cable that the Boil
shevik rulers of Russia are preparing
to invade Poland with a huge army
next spring. A. ]. Sack, director of
the Russian information bureau for
the United States. holds that Peace
can never come, neither to Europe nor
the world, with Russia disintegrated
and starved. And unless peace come
and come soon, a new war will in
evitabIy come, probably more severe
and disastrous than the Great War
we have just come thru"
If Bolshevism succeed in Russia
and the anti -Bolshevist armies fail
in their mission. and the Red army,
almost half a million strong, be re-
leased from the interior Russian
fronts, and turn its attention to the
t'buffer" states, it will turn into dust
those states. including Poland, and
might overrun Germany and Austria,
where the ground for Bolshevism is
sufficiently prepared by the still con-
tinued economic degradation. 1t may
flow farther in the European direc-
ton, on the one hand, and in the Ash
attic direction, on the other, and no
one can predict whore it will stop.
The new war in which Bolshevism
plans to take the offensive part, sim
liar to that of German militarism in
the last war. may spell a definite cri-
sis for modern democratic civilization
In Europe AS Russia's experience has
shown, Bolshevism. while possessing
an enormous destructive power, does
not display, TO any degree, construc-
tive ability. Russia's starvation is due
not to the so-calIed allied blockade, as
the Bolsheviki and parlor-B -Bolshevil1i
insist. but to the criminal inefficiency
of the Bolshevist regime and to the
civil war they brought upon Russia in
their endeavor to replace the autoc-
racy OF the old regime by new, and
even more tyrannic autocracy. Under
normal conditions Russia would be
able not only to feed herself, but to
feed other countries as well.
Everywhere where Bolshevism
marches it leaves behind dead cities,
destroyed villages. murder and starva-
ton. Bolshevism has destroyed Rus
sia and threatens to destroy the world.
Bolshevist overtures for peace repre-
sent an endeavor. on the one hand. to
gain a breathing space, as Lenine once
put it, and, on the other, to legalize
the centers of their propaganda and
their supporters in the countries
which Bolshevism plans to conquer.
Bolshevism and modern democracy
can no more stay together than flame
and water. If Bolshevisrn rule Russia,
it, viii rule Europe. If the world
would destroy Bolshevism. it must de-
stroy it immediately in Russia,
