RUIN OF RUSSIA
IS LAID At DOOR
Of BoLSnEv|STS
Story of Economic Chaos in
Russia Related by Propag-
anda Witness.
nv Associated press,


WASHINGTON, Feb. IA story OF
economic chaos, oppression and ty-
ranny in Russia, under the Bolshevik
rule. was unfolded today before the
senate judiciary subcommittee at the
beginning of its inquiry into Bolshivik.
!. w. w. and other propaganda in the
United States. The witness was DR..
William c. Huntington, former COM
mercial attache OF the American EN-
bassy in Petrograd. who related in
detail his experiences before being
compelled by intolerable conditions to
leave Russia last fall.
Prof. Samuel N. Harper Of the Uni.
versity of Chicago, a student of Rus
sian affairs, also was before the COM
mittee, explaining the development of
the Bolshevik theory Of government.
He said there had been much misrep-
resentation of Russia In the American
press, but declared enough evidence
had come through to demonstrate that
Bolshevism had been failure in most
ways.
Only small part of the hearing to-
day was devoted to Bolshevik propa-
ganda in this country. DR.. Hunting
ton said the Bolshevik leaders con-
stantly endeavored to spread their
doctrine through other countries and
that he had been a few evidences of
these efforts In the United States. He
mentioned an article by Premier LIE.
nine OF the BOlshevik government re.
Gently published in the Liberator, an
American magazine, and said he had
seen several articles in the New York
Times written by Arthur r. Ransom,
an English writer, who he described
as an internationalist and a sympa.
thizer with the Bolshevik regime.

BRIDGE SPONSORS DENY CLAIM THAT
POSTPONEmENT WOULD SAVE MONEY

big delinquent tax payers who should
be gone after.
"As to the statement that the small
farmer and the workingmen will bear
the burden of the taxes, this seems
somewhat ridiculous in the light of
the taxes paid by the big farmer and
the manufacturer.
mr.. Weidner denies that he is lead
ing a fight against the South Side
bridge, but he seems to be the only
person making any fight and he can
not advance either facts or figures to
substantiate his claims"

MEXICO CITY. Feb. 12.-Four hun
dred thirty-six thousand, two hundred
deaths were caused in Mexico during
1918 by the influenza, according to
data published by Ell Universal. This

states were unable to furnish figures
on the mortality. In others. 1t Is
added, the epidemic still prevails. In
Morelos, in particular. few families
escaped illness. In fact, the influenza
is credited with having destroyed the

Threatening Form of Suicide.

(NeW Ork ImeS(
 It would be easier to feel or rather to maintain. sympathy with the an
 tagonism to the immediate banish- menc of beer and light wine that was expressed by the dem monstration in Washington by the American Fedora ton of Labor if it were not for one argument that was used by the or Eanization's spokeSmen, including Mir. Gompers himself. The argument that the national lawmakers were sup posed to heed most was that, if the country were made completely dry" thsr inevitable result would be a spread of Bolshcrism in q great class where it does not exist
 This prophecy may be true, and, if lfe, it is q reason of sort for not putting an end to mild intoXicants on July 1 or at any other date. But it is a reason that thinking and intelli- gent men should be more than re- luctant to proffcr, for of what inn 9 aginable advantage will it be to "labor" or to anybody else, if 10 the discomforts and inConvenienCes appre- hended from lack Of 3 valued allevia- ton of thirst there be added the inn measurably more disastrous conse- quences that inevitably would follow d descent into Bolsheyism
 To say that if deprived of beer one will accept the doctrines and initiate the practices of Lenine and Trotzky is to threaten to act as does the ill- trained child, who, when what he wants is refused, throws himself on the floor and kicks and screams in q sort of voluntary insanity. Children som etimes gain their ends that way, but only when the parents are con- sdera bly, less wise and strong than is the Am erican governm ment as vet Bolshevism would cost the workers and everybody else--if there is any { considerable body of workers in the United States-vastly more than their beer, and not for long would it give them even that.

The Sawyer and His Blocks.
(NeW I York Tim es.)


 Re-enters Mr. William Hohenzoll- ern, after too long an absence. On May 1 1 the number of trees by cour- tesy. of saplings and finger-thick bOughs in fact, sawed up to that date by the sometime ilustrious Roman emperor and present Hercules was three thousand. His belief in mystic nun hers and omens is disclosed by his asslduity in saving exactly seventy seven treelings in a day. Every time the output reaches a thousand, blocks are reverently cut and packed. sent to the faithful in Germany. by them to be treasured piously and bequeathed as rich. legacy unto their issue. Blocks to the Germans; a homeopa- thic gift
 Meanwhile in Germany the mercy, sweetness, majesty. and glories of the sometime King and Kaiser are sung in carefully organized choruses. The school teachers, Governm employ es, utter their 1onsings for the return of the patron of the three Ks. Last Monday, in Munich evidently not vet utterly peerless, seven thousand Ba- Varian officers-again mark the sac red and perfect number seven are said to have bet and to have adopted this resolution: The Kaiser was OUT ideal of honor. Every body 10 his ideal. The German notion of honor is peculiar.
 And here is another old friend, pr. TTyander. som etime Chief Court Preacher, who deserves 10 he more fa- nous than Dr. Dryasdust The Kaiser loved peace. invented it. SO to speak, fought and bled in the film, and is now saving. for peace. Tn a touching passa ge much of which is purely Tyr ical. Dr. Dryander shows us an Eng fish Quaker NJ. r. talking 10 and talked to by the Kaiser before the war. Som ehodT says that the form CT of an alliance of France, Eng land, and Germany would be the greatest man in history" a place that belongs to Mir. HOhenzollern anyway by his own admission. Here let the divine Dryander sing and soar:
 For that we should need new Saviour" replied the Kaiser. Here the Quaker Baker had a heavenly in spiration hN God. You are the man. he cried ecstatiCally and in Quaker fashion. He three times touched the kaiSer's chest and arms. The Kaiser $ eyes became moist.
 Moist is too dry a word. At this m oment let each rious German heart, all awasl,, try and bail itself out.

Own Your Own Homo.
Providence Journal)

nation-wid campaign of home building under the direction of the departm ent of labor should apnea1 alike to employers and vOrkmen The country has reason for being deeply interested m the movement, for 1t is certain 10 increase appreciation of American citizenship. The man who ise paying for a house and lot has neither time nor inclin alton for pro noting sccial disturhances or partici- pating in BaisheVist plotting. The owner of 8 home has peculiar sense of responsibility and as a rule can be depended upon in a contest with agi- tatOrs who would have nothing to lose but possibly much to gain by widespread public disorders
 In commenting the home building movement the Chairman of the United States Shipping Board forcefully says:
 "N NotIing is so important to the flu ture of our country as the question of homes for our people. One of the reasons the French were SO cOura ge- ous and fought so hard was to protect their homes. There are S.oo00OO persons who own their own homes in France. and l am certain there will be very little Bolshevism in that great country, TOT thlS reason. Elm
 CTS should encourage their employ ees to own their own homes. X man who owns his own home is a better citizen. his family Is better provided for, and he is better workman when he carries on his shoulders the re sponsihlity of a home. In my companies we have for years urged men to buy their homes, and we arc now arranging to help finance them though outside sources, we assumin E a certain responsibility.
 The saving that it is cheaper to pay rent than own a house holds good only in the case of persons whose business requires them 10 move from place to place at frequent intervals. It should not be Conside tered by those who expect to be identified perm = nently with q city or town for when a mortgage has been paid off in a few years tie property owner has only one charge that mus, be met--the local tax. This of course is trlf1ing in com parson with rent, and the feeling of ccntei7 tn ert and stability that goes with the possession of real estate more than offsets the loss of interest on the investment Indeed, it is probable that in the ma ajority of cases the price of home would not have been saved

FORMING AN AUTOMOBILE, CLUE

Plans now under way for the re- Britain as it once existed should m eet with a ready response from each owner of q machine in the city. The social and business possibilities of well acter are to be reckoned with and united front of automobile owners such as would be presented by g club here can do much in legislative bodies toward obtaining better roads for the district and securing proper legislation for autoists as 8. whole.
 The New Britain club has been practically non existent for several years. In previous times it was not very active. But at that time there were not the same number of ma chimes by half. in the city and the owner of car was an exception rather than the rule. With the large number of automobile that there are now in New Britain 8 szeabc
 
 surcd. There arc bound to be enough people interested, in any affair planned, to make 3 good attendance sure even if the majority of club mem bcr5 is lacking in enthusiasm for that particular event. That is pro- vided tho machine owner is also 3 club member and we assume that all autoists may easily join the club and will do SO.
 While the annual dues have not vet been fixed it is certain that the 1 autoist will get full return from his money if in nothing but the local 1 benefits such as the betternent of 1 road conditions. A com bine of all drivers in the city will make 8 power | full organization and it's opportunity

CITATION FOR EMPLOYERS.

The Herald is in receipt of letter From Arthur Woods, assistant to seeretary of War Baker stating that 2 thesWar Departmen ent is planning to ssfesue citation to firms and indi- Riduals in the United States who have taken back the service men who left hhem to go to war. At that rate, we HeeI that every firm in New Britain will be eligible for one of these docu
 ments, as a local case has not yet come to our attention where man was refused the job he had at the outbreak of hostilities upon his return to the city. Several have not received ssthe positions. they hoped for, but all have been sven an opportunity to return to their old work as far as we ., know.
 In the letter. the use of the United States Employment Service is offered, though it states that the cooperation of firms and employers generally has E. been so great that between 70 and so 4 tpeF cent. OL dfl IHGh iCtulhth u ohl s1 service have been offered their old jobs without any solicitation, Tn New Britain, it. is safe to say, the percent ,s age is much greater than that In St return for this cooperation. the War and Navy departments are issuing a
 citation which they will gladly for-
 ward to any firm asking for them pro { re-enp1oy any soldier or sailor who left work with it to serve in the war.
 All that is necessary is to apply for
 the documen making the statement outlined above, to Arthur Woods, care

\ Badly Battered Dove.
(NeV York HeraldO

t\eW Orh Hera10)
 For nearly six monahs some two thousand representatives of a score or more of nations have been gathered together in Paris trying 10 bring about the peace of the world, yet more wars are being Waged today than al any one time in history. Last year there was one big war, the active partici- pants against Germany and her CO., partners in crime being united under one command. Today there are at least seven wars rag ging.
 Beginning in the east, Admiral kolchak was making very good prog ress toward the Volga until Paris gave him quasi recognition, aFince which time reports have come of his having suffered defeats. In the south. the Ukrainians are in stats of civil war between the Bolsheviki and loyal fac tions.' The Poles and Rumanians also are fighting against the BolsheViki who have crossed the CialiCian fronter, trying to, effect a junction with the Hungarian Reds The latter, organized by Bela Runs Soviet are moving on the Czecho-Slovaks after orders from Paris held up operations gainst Bela Kun. Further west, the Serbians are endeavoring to anticipate peace conference awards by. driving g the .Austrians from Carntha.
 f. On the north, two campaigns are { being carried on actively. The Es- thonians. who seem to be the most successful fighters in that quarter, had |ynearly driven the Bolsheviki out Of their country when they were attacked from the rear by the German garrison at Riga in violation of the arnnjstiCe and in spite of the fact that British varships were in the harbor. The f Films are advancing on Petroyrad around Lake Ladoga and so far seem to be progressing fairly well.
 l Some day we will have peace, Jus now, however. there is much evidence 1 that human nature has not changed l perceptibly.
