of
Bolsheviks Is
Inevitable
By J. w. T. Mason

Written for The United Press.)
NEW YORK, April 3.-Recogni-
ton of the bolshevikl administration
at Moscow as the de facto govern
ment of Russia, is rapidly becoming
inevitable, according to accumulative
indications of the new point of view
of the Russian situation being taken
by the peace conference.
The Paris delegates are putting per-
sonal and national resentment aside.
They are beginning to examine the
accomplishments of the bolsheviki
from the standpoint of international
law which governs the recognition of
sovereignty in revolutionary re-
gime. While the bolsheviki have been
i npower they have established suf-
fcient democstic order to permit sue
cessful military operations to be con-
Quoted simultaneously in the ex-
treme nothern and southern areas
of their country. In the north, Brit
1sh and American troops are On the
defensive and intend to retire to their
transports and return home as soon
as the ice breaks In the south, the
French have met with severe military
'etbacks and are practically entrap-
ped along the Black sea. In eastern
Siberia the rebels against the Mos
cow government have been unable
to set up a stable government, nor
can they penetrate into western Rus
sian territory.
In the west the bolsheviki have con
centrated their doctrines and have
formed what amounts to an alliance
With the Hungarian government.
eManwhile, no other Russian fac
,ions have been able to make progress
against the bolsheviki nor is any
Group outside Moscow in a position
claim its possession of sovereign
power.
Under these conditions it would be
no more than a normal procedure
lnder international law for the peace
conference to extend formal recog-
milton to the Lenine- Trotzky govern
Mont Such recognitoE would imply
neither approval nor disapproval of
the communist republic which the
bolsheviki are attempting. All the
world recognized the Romanoff gov
eminent of Russia when it was in
power despite the awful cruelties per-
petrated on millions of innocent per-
sons in the name of the czar.
If the peace conference perman-
lntly adjourns leaving Russia in the
position of an outlawed nation, the
benefit to Germany may be very
GREAT. Once the peace treaty is sign
ed the alliance of the entente nations
and America is dissolved Thereaf-
ter German relations with Russia can
be directly established without super
vision of the allies.

.117th Won't Stop
At Morristown


WASHINGTON, April 4.-The war
department yesterday announced that
parade of the 117th Infantry reg
iment would not be permittd at Nor
ristown. The reason assigned for the
refusal was that the routing and
schedule of the troops had already
been made. A stop over at Morris
town would so delay the troops that
the whole program would be disar-
ranged and interfere with the demon
stration at Knoxville. Only one day,
it was stated, could be allowed for a
parade in East Tennessee, and this
day was assigned to Knoxville.

BIG linen DEAL IS
MADE BY bRITISHER
(By Associated Press)


LONDON. July 9.-Leonard ]. Mar
tin, a young English business man
who deals in agricultural machinery,
has bought for $2o,0oo.oo0 from the
British government about 10000, 900
yards of linen which was intended for
making airplanes. He knew nothing
about linen but bought for specula-
ton.
Today his name and picture are
featured in every British paper and
editorial writer's are pointing out that
the enterprising young man doesn't
have to go to countries to find golden
business opportunities. Martin is 81
years old and began his career he
says, with a capital of about $500.
Il bought over the heads Of every
body else" he said in discussing the
big deal, simply by offering higher
price than anybody else would pay.
This is a one man deal. / am fascin-
ated by the possibilities of the thing.
I have never seen a proposition with
so much scope in the markets OF the
world"
The stock Of material Martin now
controls represents three years normal
supply. He is reckoning on profit of
about 100000. OF that amount ST..
100000 would go to the British treas
ury in excess profits and another
$1,250,000 in supertax.

UNITED STATES WILL NOW TRY
EXPERIMENT OF PROHIBITION
astonishing Action an ndvduastc People With Strong Sense
OF Personal Liberty Is Brought About by Lessons of the Great
War-Addtional Legislation Planned to Enforce New
= LaW-WI 'Wets' Observation-Disclosures Details

The United States of America has
entered upon the tremendous social ex-
pertinent Of national prohibition Of
the manufacture, sale and use of alco-
holic drinks. There will be abundant
time to give the experiment a fair test
since the prohibition Is by constitu-
tional amendment. To all appearances
this mandate by the American people
against the use of alcohol is intended
to be absolute and final. We have
written 1t into organic law--into mag
ma charta-in the form of the eight
zenith amendment to the Constitution
of the United States.
The experiment is tremendous de-
parture from previous tendencies Of
the American people. We are an indi-
viduallstic people, with strong sense
of personal liberty. Yet here we have
set out to regulate personal habit, not
by statute, but by constitutional
amendment.
And the manner of the passing of
this constitutional amendment is quite
as remarkable as the amendment ITSELF
Action on the seventeen previous
amendments to the Constitution has
taken between nine months and forty
three months, an average of about two
years. The resolution providing for
this eighteenth amendment was passed
by congress December II, 1917 On
January 16, 1919, its ratification by
the states is accomplished.
What has brought about this ratifi-
cation so quickly? Obviously the Ma
tional Prohibition party has had prac-
tically nothing to do with it's accoms
pllshment. The answer evidently Is
that the war has brought it about.
Prohibition is both an economic ques-
ton and a moral question. The war
set the American people to looking at
prohibition from both viewpoints. We
got accustomed to the thought that
grain was better eaten as food than
swallowed as liquor, inasmuch as We
were told that food you'd win the

in the U. S. service.
His wife preceded him to that
other world about 10 years ago. The
eldest girl, Fife died in childhood,
and Willis died in the Spanish AM
erican war in 1901.
Mr.. McMartin was fine old
gentleman, he had many friends in
and about Castalia, as evidenced
by the large concourse- of people that
gathered in Castalia to attend the
funeral services. Beautiful floral
Iwreaths, and boquets decorated the
casket and rostrum, and the room
was beautifully decorated with AM
Ierican flags The services were in
charge of Rev. N. F. Hicks, pastor of
the United Brethren church Of Cas-
Italia. A double quartette furnished
the music, and Miss Alma Uhiey pre-
sided at the piano.

the exercises and he was laid to
rest with military honors.
