RIVER PLAYS HIDE-AND-SEEK
Switzerland Stream Appears In Three
Places and Is Gone Over.
night.

Geneva, Switzerland.-Anxiety Is
felt by the inhabitants Of several vii
lagos In the Engadine district because
of the vagaries of an Alpine stream
which has appeared in three different
places during six weeks and as prompt
ly vanished. The stream, after cut
ting beds near villages, disappeared
overnight.
In one instance the torrent passed
quite close to the tourist resort Of
Bergun, causing the resort to become
deserted. Swiss engineers have traced
the source of the stream to Lake
Raveisch, but failed In their expert
ments with colored water to follow it
to its discharge.
Inhabitants recollecting the tragedy
Of 1892 at the health resort of Ger
vais when a similar stream collecting
under a mountain caused a terrible
landslide, destroying the village and
killing and drowning several scores Of
persons, have appealed to the can
tonal government for assistance.

NEW YORK, July i5.-The Russian
Bolsheyik political machine has becbme
as oppressive as the old Gear regime
organization. The political structure
built by the Bolsheviks has been clever
" designed. 1t is intended not only TO
maintain order. but also TO stifle politi-
cal opposition.
The government rests upon the local
Soviet as a basis The local Sovieis are
elected by the workmen and peasants

corresponds 10 The American middle
class are included among the bour-
geoisie
The local Soviets elect delegates 10
the national or Al-Russian Soviet Con-
gress, meeting in Moscow at least three
lines a year. one delegate IS elected
from every one hundred and twenty
thousand Inhabitants OF the country
and one from every twenty-five thou
sand in the cities. Soviet Is simply
the Russian word for council or as
sembly.
. The workman thus has several times
as much representation IN the central
-. Soviet Congress as the peasant on the
land This is provided by the constitu-
stlon II might be added that the work
man is far more communisiic I'm his
ideas than the peasant Bolshevik sup
