WARSAW, Feb. 7 (delayed) THAT
Bolshevism is in It's critical stage. either
turning to imperialism, with perhaps
Leon Trotzky. Minister OF War and Ma
raine. as the new Emperor, or slipping
back to the idea OF the old Nihlism. with
a sort OF orderly disorder. Is the impress
sion given by many refugees Of all ma
tionalties who have arrived here from
Russia. The Associated Press corre-
spondent has talked to number OF
these people as to what might happen In
Russia II there is no outside Interior
ence. One was a Bolshevist soldier who
deserted while his contingent was en-
gagged in raiding the country west or
Mnsk.
Our chief characteristic" he satd'
sis that we are tired-tired of foo'inS.
tired OF killing, tired Of fighting ana
tired of wandering from pillar TO post.
There " no doubt that Leon Trotzky Is
attempting to obtain order and to whip
the troops into shape. He Is known
to be terribly ambitious and possibly he
Is dreaming OF becoming Gear, knowing
that Bolshevism has failed"

Hopes to Begin Payments.


I'VE look forward. therefore. to an
immediate future in which we must
regularly meet great interest charges in
America and elsewhere abroad, to pro-
, vide which we vii, have only the re-

IF our national debts were due only
to our own people the problem would not
be 50 difflcult, because we would not
then have to consider the sending out
Of the country Of great sums at disad-
vantageous rates of exchange. The
, money collected from the French people
| for interest on the national loans would
be distributed among the French people,
| unequally perhaps. but nevertheless the
interest payments would remain in the
country to be used partly for reconstruc-
| ton and as capital for the development

Even as to the military trlunrphs over
| Germany there Is a situation not alto

Impressed by Leaders, Deaths.

The deaths at Berlin of Or. Karl Lieb-

sovtets SIN in PetroGrad.

Recent rumorS that the Soviet Govern
ment troops have evacuated Petrograd
are unconhrmed. There was a general
belief in Petrograd during January that
the Allies were about to occupy the city.
l. was even stated that the Entente
Powers had Issued proclamation to
that effect. and many persons said they
were able to cite quotations from the
document. Bolshevist chiefs have been
80 alarmed that a trainload OF supplies
was recently turned back while on the
road from Moscow to Petrograd IN the
belief that the Allies were in the lat
ter city.
Trotzky Is reported to have changed
from his fiashy clothes and red necktie"
TO a uniform He Is said to be riding
here and there on the train formerly
at the disposal OF the Emperor. and he
Is said to be using the former imperial
automobile.
One evidence that the long expected
abandonment OF Petrograd may be under
way Is the removal TO Moscow of the few
pictures remaining Rt the Hermitage.
The galleries which have always been
open to the public at the Hermitage have
been closed. the building itself Is dis
mantled and Is being occupied by work
men.

Austria Curtails Rail
Traffic to Save Coal
(By Associated Press)

VIENNA, August 22.-In addition
to the cancellation of all express
trains, a further curtailment of rail-
way traffic is expected unless the coal
situation improves, according to state
ments made by government officials.
Czecho-Slovakia, it is said, has thus
far supplied less than 25 per cent of
the coal which was promised recently
At the same time it is reported the
Prague government has entered pro-
test to the peace congress in Paris
against the cancellation of express
train schedules, demanding that eco
nomic pressure be brought to bear
on Austria to compel a resumption Of
service.

RAILROAD PROBLEM
IS ONE OF CREDIT,
L0VETT DECLARES
(Bv Associated P-ess)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The rail
road problem is solely a question of
railroad credit, Robert S. Lovett, pres
ident of the Union Pacific railroad
told the house interstate commerce
committee today.
The question before congress he
added is simply to find how to get the
capital necessary to provide trans
portation facilities, the country de-
mands "and legislation that does
not accomplish that object is futile" "
New capital cannot be driven into
railroads., but must be induced to en-
ter" Mr.. Lovett declared. The in
vestor must depend upon the net earn
ings under the regulations which this
congress is going to prescribe and
decide whether he will risk his money
in railroads and put it in some other
business.
"If you have decided against govern
ment ownership then it inevitably fol
lows that system of regulation must be
such as to attract investors to rail-
roads, or you won't get the neces-
sary road facilities.'
