LONDON, Jan. spond-

sian Bolsheviki have a well-equip
ped and disciplined army OF one mill
lion men and will have doubled its
size and effectiveness in another six
or seven months, says the Rev. Cy-
prus Richard Mitchell, American

But the BoIsheviki have no right
in Poland. Should the allies take
control from the Bolsheviki and hand
it over to non-Bolshevik Russia, 1
these other parties could keep peace
among themselves for more than a
few months The thing that makes
the Russian situation so difficult is
the fact that. the Russian peasant

fulfill his usual obligations or carry

refuses to espouse the cause OF
either the Bolshevik or the non-Bol

to inspire me to believe that this is
true all over Russia.

The witnesses did not deal gently

that he had many times promised to

lives as parasite on the roots of the

roots and feed on their tissues which
results in decay. 1t can live on dead
organic matter in the soil, but in the
absence of tobacco plants 1t gradually
dies out, though this may require from
nVc to ten years or more. The disease
spreads much in the same way as
other diseases of plants and animals.
