AMERIcANIsM vs. eEReERIsM.

The fact that Victor Berger has been refused a seat in congress has apparently caused him to be regarded by those of hts following as martyr, for not only was his name selected for the primary in a manner not in accord with his partys rules but he has this week won the socialist nomination for congressman from the fifth district in Wisconsin for the special election tc be held on the fsth.
 It is fully understood of course that Berger was denied his seat in congress because of his defiance of the nations laws during the period of the war and not because he is a so. cialist. He was considered to be ar unfit person to sit in the body of na- tionsl law makers and participate il the making of laws for others to obey when he had showed himself to be ss openly given to lawlessness.
 There was nothing surprising in th' action of the socialists, however, il renominating him for the same ofiic' that he was not permitted to fin. n his followers his experience sinpl, increased their dstsrminstieu to sp dorse his attitude by reeiecting htH and 1t remains for that district e show whether 1t stands for law abiding citizen to represent 1t in th halls of congress or whether 1t oe Iieves that # cap brlnE the ep,MtsT 2 see the way 1t does.

Be is interested in the situation of his Z employees and in tbe effect that il has upon his mill and the cost of produc- ton. The result is- that he has given warning to the merchants of Law Fence that if they do not start right In 10 lower prices and thus reduce the cost of livtag there he will. though he Is not anxious 10 do so, establish a big department store from which goods can be obtained at cost.

 There are only three to five per cent real believers in Bolshevism in Russia, and they. by using drastic measures, are able to swing the great masses over to their side.''
 M.

 He criticised the Allies, military aid

 supplies regularly and in sufficient
 quantities.
 "The Finnish troops could them

Ameri- cans here call him the Million Dollar General. He is the idol of the Cossack country and the leader of 'Skouro s Wolvess' whose daring and fearless cavalry warfare has made possible many of the Volunteer Army's big ad- vances.
 This dashing 22-year-old Cossacl1 general turns all his money over to his wife. a beautiful young Caucasian girl who resides here. And she in turn has offered her fortune and services to the American Red Cross. Mrs. Skouro came to the American relief head quarters shortly after the Red Cross unit arrived and was enrolled as a volunteer worker being placed in charge of civilian relief work in a large district behind the Denikine
 Her husband is one of the most powerful officers in Denikine's army Like the famous military leaders of History he rides at the head of his cred about him the most adventurous spirits of the Cessack country. They live only to fight and eat-and do very little eating.
