Exploiting fhe BoIsheviks
BY AUSTER, in The New Europe

voice In this country was raised ir
defence OF the Bolsheviki. II had beer
universally admitted that the Constl,
tuent Assembly was TO be the crown
ing work OF the revolution and every
political party in England accepted II
as the final solution. Since the disso-
luton Of the Constituent Assembly the
Bolsheviki have proceeded from one
extreme 10 another.
The principle OF majority rule was
thrown 10 the winds, the Red Terror re-
ceiyed the blessing OF the soviet gov
ernment, wholesale robbery was recog-
nized under the name OF communism
and conscription accompanied by the
death penalty and the most rigorous
discipline was reintroduced. In a word,
all the liberties that had been the pride
OF the early revolution were revoked
and all opposition was stifed by mill
tary force.
In the face Of facts such as these how
is II that public opinion in this country,
instead Of hardening against the Boil
shevlkl, has shown increasing signs OF
wavering?

time were the foremost supporters Of
the early revolution and the principle Of
the Constituent Assembly now seek TO
defend those who trampled those same
principles under foot, while the oppo-
nents OF the Bolshevikl, who have never
wavered in their allegiance to the lib
critics Of the early revolution, they
lightly dismissed as reactionariess
To find the right answer 10 this ques-
ton would be TO explain the success OF
Bolshevik propaganda abroad Any one
who has ATTEMPTED 10 follow German
propaganda during the war and Bolshe-
vlk propaganda since the armistice, can
not fail TO be impressed by the SINH
larlty Of their methods. This is not sur
prlsing, considering how closely Ger
man and Bolshevik agents have worked
together.
The appeal made by the Bolsheviki
since the armlstice has been directed to
the same class OF people who lent the
most ready ear 10 German propaganda
The Germans, having proclaimed war
and having seized what they wanted by
force, then came forward as the true
paciflsts whose desire was TO savel
Europe from further bloodshed. The
Bolsheviki have adopted a precisely
similar policy. Knowing well that in !
his country they will find more favor
IS advocates Of pacifsm than as advo-
'ates OF the class war. they have set
heir caps at those very people who. il
hey experienced it in their own coun-
ry, would be the first TO recoil from
he violence Of the proletariat dictator
hip.

when he declared that America wanted
what he wanted No channel OF com
munication with the Senate was open
TO them, and as they wished very much
TO please American and 10 cooperate
with her, the only possible way to pro-
ceed was to agree to what the Presi-
dent asked
But they knew IL was doubtful
whether they were pleasing America.
When ii developed that America wish
ed changes they were quite willing TO
accept them. As sensible men they
assess the covenant for about what it
is worth. They see some good in IL,
and also see that the proposed reserva-
tlons do not destroy this good.
So they gladly coincide with respect
TO the proposed reservations. What
they. seek is to have this country's
name al the bottom Of any sort Of
agreement; and II this is achieved other
things seem inconsequential.

For many weeks past a bitter con-
troversy has ragged round the name OF
Admiral K0iehak With many people
II appears TO have become a matter Of
conscience TO attack Kolchak merely
because the other side attacks the Boil
shevikl, and FOR each charge brought
against the Bolshevik we find similar
charges brought against Kilchak
Against the accounts OF the Red Ter
ror are set bloOd-curdling stories Of
the White Terror. II the Bolsheyiki
dissolved the Constituent Assembly in
January, 1918 we are reminded that
the remnants OF the same assembly
were arrested by Kalchak in November
OF the same year.
Controversy on such a basis is quite
unreal, and, so long as we are content
with mere abuse, we shall never ar
rive at a practical policy toward Rus
STA or do anything to alleviate the suf-
fcrings Of the Russian people. II there
is a sincere desire in this country 10
help Russia the only thing that INIT
ters Is 10 decide whether IL Is the
forces grouped around the Bolsheviki
or the forces grouped around Kolchak
that offer the best prospects for the
future Of Russia.
When the revolution Of March. 1917,
broke out in Petrograd public opinion
in this country was unanimous in ac-
claiming H. II there were msgiyngs
in some quarters It was due to anx-
iety about the war, but there was on
ell sides n sincere feeling OF 10y that
the Russian people should, after many
years Of struggle havo xvon tho eorna
political liberties that Western Europe
enjoyed. No hint was given In the
British press that the liberties pro
claimed by the provisional govern
ment. were not all that could be de-
sired, and nobody In this country
dreamed Of denOunclng the government
OF either Prince Lvov OF Kerensky as
counter revolutionary or reactonary.
II was not until the Bolshevlki ap-
peared upon The scene that these words
gained currancy and I'm spite OF the
fact That the provisional government

summer OF 1917, were applied to the |

Special Sessions
(From the National sufrragist)

The entire energy OF the Woman's
Party is centered upon the ratification
OF the suffrage amendment and eleven
States have now responded with an
Overwhelming Affirmative vote.
Although this is encouraging and
there is no doubt OF the two-thirds
majority being ultimately obtained, II
! is nevertheless necessary that the goal
be reached by September OF this year,
| II women are 10 register In September
so that they can participate in the
] elections held In many States this No
vember. for governors, members OF the
| legislatures and mayors.
No legislatures, excepting those OF
! Georgia and Alabama, will be in regu-
lar session before that time and the
only means Of accomplishing the desired
end lies in the calling together OF the
legislative bodies in special sessions TO
vote upon the resolution.
The chief executive Of a number Of
States. New York, Kansas, Iowa and
Missouri, have already called their leg
lslatures into special sessions to con-
slider the suffrage amendment. The
Arkansas and Nebraska legislatures
have been called for July. and Indiana
and Colorado have been called, but the
date Of meeting not yet set.
Although there is a certain amount Of
extra work and expense attached TO the
calling together Of legislative bodies out
OF their regular order, it is inlnitesi-
NAL compared with the magnitude OF
the matter they are asked to pass
upon.
When the prohibition. income tax and
direct election Of senator's amendments
were passed by Congress, extra ses-
sions of the legislative body were called
to ratify them in many States; among
others. North Dakota. South Dakota,
Texas. Delaware, Minnesota and Illinois
Evening journal., 1919-07-23

I Nor is it wholly for federal amend
ments that governors have assembled
their law making bodies at times other
than their regular meeting. Special
sessions have been called innumerabls
times for minor matters. In 1918 Ten
nessee held two extra sessions to regu-
late the liquor traffic OF the State. In
1917 Montana called a special session to
bond the state for agricultural pur-
poses. In 1915 Mississippi assembled
her legislature in order to pass an ap-
preparation bill for money to meet GER
tain deficiencies in State expenses. Min
nesota had a special legislature in 1912
to pass a state primary law; Delaware.
in 1906, TO settle a difficulty over the
election OF a United states senator;
Michigan, In 1919, for good roads legis-
lation and public utilities bill; Wis
consin, in 1918, for certain war meas
ures; Alabama. in 1907 and in 1900. on
bills relating to prohibition and rail-
road rates; and Virginia has Just
called a special session to pass bills per-
tanning to good roads. 4
It is evident from these few instances,
that the calling in extra session OF the
legislative bodies OF the States, has
many precedents. II is not unreason-
able, therefore, that women should ex-
pect speedy assembling of legisla-
tures to consider the suffrage amend
ment in States where months VIII pass
before legislatures will convene in their
regular order. , ,..
Now that the highest legislative body
Of the country, the Congress Of the
United States, has passed the suffrage
resolution, it is not too much to. ex-
pect that governors OF the Various
States will speedily provide opportu-
nifty for the legislatures of their States
10 pass upon 10.

AMBULANC|ERS
N HOT PLACES
Memphians at St. Mihiel,
Chateau Thierry, Chalons
and in Argonne Forest.

The Memphis ambulance company,
composed almost entirely Of local boys,
saw 10 months of active service and
participated in four Of the largest bat
ties of the war, besides other small ac-
tons, according to Private David T.
Patrick, Jr., Of 2043 Felix avenue who
has returned.
Patrick left Memphis with the com
pany and remained with them until he
was wounded by shrapnel on Oct. Is,
while serving In a hospital in the Ar
gonne forest, He has been discharged
and is the first Memphian from that
company to return.
The itinerary Of the ambulance COM
pany, which has therefore, been shrouded
In military mystery, began in February,
1918, when they were moved into the
battle area In Lorraine. Early in April
the division took over the sector which
they held for 10 days. Here they were
stationed near Badonvillers.
On June Il they were relieved by the
nth division OF New Workers., and went
to historic Chalons, where the Germans
were driving through. On July Is they
participated In the battle of Cham
payne. which Patrick characterizes as a
furious one. On July % they moved
near Chateau Thierry and entered the
drive there.
Then followed the st. Mihiel drive,
when they served wounded Yanks who
drove toward Metz. on Oct. 2 they
moved to the Argonne forest and after
spending three days in a dugout went
into the front line. Patrick remained
with the company until he was wound
ed and left for a hospital.
The same shell which exploded In the
building occupied by the ambulance
company seriously wounded Patrick's
companion. a youth from Detroit.
In going over the ambulaHge compa-
ny left New York on Oct, Is, 1917, but
when four days on the seas were forced
to turn back on account of engine trou-
Bile. They departed again on Nov. IA,
and went through Belfast, Liverpool,
| Winchester, leaving the last place on
Dec. 10, for France.
