WI PHO is Yudenitch? And what is
Wy the Russian .,,n n0F sas t.ssn
the center of the Russian stage?
Yudenitch is an able soldier VINO
servea with distinction in the imperial
Russian army during the early years
NJ the great war His most notable
exploit was the capture of Erzerum.
In the great Caucasian Armenian cam
paign Yudenitch was one of the ablest
lieutenants of Grand Duke Nicholas ana
his victory at Erzerum was one OF the
finest achievements of the war. After
the rise Of the bolsheviki. Yudenitch
went into eclipse and into hiding. to
emerge only when he saw his oppor-
tunity to strike strong blow for the
redemption of his country.
Yudenitch found this opportunity
with the establishment at Pskov of a
government of Constitutional Demo-
Gratis under the leadership of Stephen
Lanozoff, bourgeois" business man
and patriot. Yudenitch became Liano-
zoffs military leader, and his recent
activities in the Petrograd region in
dictate that he is the man for the posi-
ton.
The Pskov government has no con-
nection with the north Russian govern
ment which has it's seat at Archangel.
Neither is it related to the Siberian
government of Kolchak or the south
Russian regime of Denikine. But, like
all the other anti bolshevist establish
ments in Russia-with the single ex-
ception of Bermondt's pro-German
forces in the Baltic provinces-it is
animated by the single inspiration of
hatred for bolshevism. 1t is merely a
link in the iron chain which is sur
rounding Moscow, but it has recently
become very important link.
1t is peculiarly appropriate that this
movement for Russian liberation has
it's origin at Pskov. Pskov is a name
synonymous with Russian liberty.
Pskov was one of the earliest republics
in Europe From 1s4s to 1910 Pskov was
a free city. 1t was finally conquered
by the Moscow czars, but it retained
it's traditions Of democracy during the
succeeding centuries of re-Romanoff
and Romanoff rule, and it utterly de-
clined to accept bolshevism as gospel
of Russian salvation.
While the Lianozoff government is
substantially Constitutionalist. it is
liberal in that the cabinet includes rep
resentatives of several other Russian
parties and is accepted even by the
radical Socialists as worthy of allie
glance during the common struggle
against Leninism. Pskov's democracy
has always been Of the conservative
kind. and Iianozoff and Yudenitch are

Steel Workers Strike
Practically Ended

a T Gary, Ind, the storm center
6N of the steel workers strike,
many of the men who "walked out"
returned to work yesterday.
The United States Steel corporation
stood firm in its open shop policy.
The employees are we'll paid-better
lpaid than ever beforehand as Chair
man E. H. Gary said in his testimony
before the Senate investigating com
mittee, there is no excuse for this
lstrike." And great majority of the
workmen, no doubt, agreed with
Judge Gary.
But there were anarchists not a
few among the thousands employed
lat Gary. The turbulent element was
numerous enough, however, to start
riots.
The war department was quick to
take the matter in hand. Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood was sent to Gary with
ia large force of regulars to take
command. One of the early orders
was that when eve shoot we will
shoot to KILL" There was very little
disorder after that and today Gary
is as tranquil as any industrial city
in the union.
A significant thing about the labor
unrest of the present time is the
solidarity of public sentiment against
any tendency toward revolutionary
methods. If labor unions expect to
win the respect of patriotic Ameri-
cans they must cut loose absolutely
and for good and all from l. w. w.
leaders. No matter how many "red"
unionists there may be in this coun-
try, patriots are in an overwhelming
majority. The American republic
will never be overthrow by an
Iarchists.

Able sermon by DIR. weIls

Every parent who has a son should
have heard the fine sermon that DR.. p.
B. Wells preached Sunday morning at
Highlands Methodist church." said Gov.
Nathan L. Miller His subject was The
American Boy and his picture of the
typical inqusitive, daring. adventursome,
patriotic American boy between the ages
of IL and 16, was classic never to be
forgotten. His peroration on the duty
of the state the home and the church to
our future citizens of America was very
finely drawn and at the same time he
injected great deal of humor into the
subject, which is quite natural since moth
ing admits of a more humorous side
than boy.
CDR. Wells. in speaking of the average
boys pockets, said that if they were
searched you'd find just about the fol-
lowing combination Three marbles, two
nails, one knife, one broken pencil, one
rubber band, one slingshot, one small
piece of lead. two buckshot, two cart
ridges, one rabbit foot, five pieces OF
chalk. one watchspring. one package of
chewing gum, one torn baseball glove,
one small notebook, three soiled handkcr-
chiefs and four pennies.

made to DR.. Wells to repeat his able ser
mon downtown somewhere SO that every
body could hear it,"

BernstorH Assumes Air

C7NHE recent revelations of Count

dropped his title, by the way, and
styles himself plain Johann Helm

himself in the best possible light be-
fore the American people, and Incl
dentally before anyone else who feels
resentment against all things Ger

Won Bernstorff's statement that
there was never the slightest evidence
to convict him of having taken part
in the plots of Won Papen and Boy-Ed
in America could easily be proved or
disproved if the state department or
President Wilson cared to reveal gov
eminent secrets. The former Ger

was consulting with him day after
day, though Colonel House, at the
very time when he was supposed to
have been fomenting plots against
the American government as we'll as

sufficient to do great deal toward
clearing up the counts record in this
country.
