Greens" Also to
Be ReckOned as
Menace to Russia

London, Nov. II. (By the Asso-
ciated Press)-The greens" of Rus
STA, often incorrectly referred to as
the green army" constitute a force
that must be seriously reckoned with,
IN the opinion Of Russian experts at
the British foreign office. Their opin-
ION is based upon a report of one of
their secret agents, who for months
mas been in a position to closely
study conditions in Bolshevik Russia.
The majority of the greens" are
deserters from the Bolshevik armies
but in their ranks may be found rep
resentatives Of nearly every political
element in the country excepting Boil
snevlkl. They have no governmental
plans, should they gain the upper
hand: their one idea being to kill Pol
snevlki and Jews. They take no pris-
oners and care for none of the en-
emv's wounded, the agents say.
1t is estimated that in the spring
OF 1919. fifty per cent of the Bolshe-
vlk soldiers deserted. Augmented by
otner indictments thew organized
themselves in guerilla bands living
OF the country and obtaining ammu-
nitlon from raids on Bolshevik stores.
reports to the foreign office show
tnat the peasants are so hostile to
the Bolsheviki that they assist the
greens" in every way they can.

Mr.. Horton, who was in
a condition to grasp eager
ly at any possible relief.
was profuse with his thanks
and asked the h o BIO his
ma me. ooh, I'm just a
hobo" answered the tramp,
and without another word
walked back into the woods
and into oblivion.
Mr.. Horton began taking
his new-found medicine i'm
mediately. To be perfectly
frank, he had but little con-
fdence in it. He had taken
medicines of all sorts with
out result. But he decided
to give it a trial anyway.
Within three days a decided
improvement was noticed.
Pain and other irritating
conditions had been reliev-
ed. Two months later he
was a well man. And from
that time on, he was never
troubled with the disease
which had made his life a
living d a III for three
years.
Naturally the report Of
the remarkable cure spread.
Folks from all over his Sec
ton of Louisiana came to
Mr.. Horton to t Ike hi S
treatment. And relief was
given in every instance.
Then Mr.. Horton decided
that a remedy of the value
of this one should be given
to the world. With a few
friends he formed a COM
pany, and manufacture on
a larger scale commenced.

Mr.. Horton told him.
He never knew just why
he had made this tramp his
confdant. Possibly it was
a kind providence interced-
ing in his behalf. At a ny
rate, he finished his story.
The tramp was silent for a
moment. 81 can cure you,"
he said, finally. I'm fact,
I can cure anyone who has
your trouble"
Without further ado, he
walked into the piney
woods at the side of tn e
track, and emerged, pres
entity, with a handful of
what looked to be weeds.
Aided by Mr.. Horton, the
tramp brewed a liquid from
the herbs, explaining what
