FATE OF THE RED TERROR
Bo,a...cvism viii Most Probably Go the
Way That Was Travelled by
French Revolution.

1t is ten-to-one shot that Russian
boshevism will blow up and blow out
rs suddenly as French terrorism van
ished a century and quarter ago.
Up to date the Russian revolution
travels precisely tie old track laid
down by the French revolution, writes
"Girard" in the Philadelphia Press.
First Mirabcau and his solid type of
rcvolutionists started the thing and
put the sllids under King Louis.
Then along came such blood-lettins
terrorists as Danton, Murat and
Robespierre, with their merciless gull
lotine working day and night behead-
ing kings and queens and mobiles.
Then appeared the master, Napo-
leon, who quickly made France one
of the best ordered, best organized
and most prosperous lands on earth.
Russia's NIrabeau phase passed with
the peaceful and practically bloodless
dethroning of the car. Thep fol
lowed the terrorists, Lenine and Trot-
zky.
frances reign of terror lasted only
a couple of years.
1t does not seem possible that
among Russia's 1S0000,000 people
there is not a Bonaparte to catch the
wild horses and put a bride on them
After it was over it seemed an in
credibly easy thing to turn out King
ouiC and C7or Nicholas
1t will be just as easy for Russia
TO upset her present masters as to
unSeat the RomanOffs.
1t is a poor sort of revolution that
can't revolve all the way round and
keep the heels of both the car and
the bolsheviki off our neck.

Their faces were tired and deeply
lined; in them were the traces Of
suffering and of anger. These men
asked no favors, but they forgave
nothing. In their eyes shone de-
termined resolution to win, and then
to punish. When the party reached
the covered passage leading to post s,
the guide told M. Clemenceau that for
the remaining distance he would have
to crawl upon his stomach, and In
that fashion the premier advanced
until he met sentry. There for an

The soldier never doubted that his
