The manner and form in which
the dances of the War Camp Com
munity Service in Washington are
conducted was described yesterday
in a statement by Mrs. Genevieve
Turner Holman. director of social
recreation.
Tickets for all dances are given
out through the Government Rec
reation League to the welfare
workers and social secretaries of
the government departments. who
have made requests for them in
advance" she said. Each worker
or secretary is given fifteen tickets
for each dance. on which she
writes the name and address of the
girl to whom it is presented. She
is requested to send with these
fifteen girls chaperon. The
tickets are carefully inspected at
the door.
IF the chaperon should not ap-
pear with her girls. the social Sec
retary is notified the following day
and is not given tickets to dances
after that time. unless she was de-
tanned by unavoidable circum-
stances. Thus a chaperon is re-
sponsible for their arrival at the
hall, their conduct on the floor and
for their return home"

REDS VIOLENCE
DEFEATS CAUSE
DR.. Huntington Tells Sons
Of Revolution Bolshe-
Msm Must Fail.

Inside information on the working
out Of Bolshevism and the aims Of
the party in power were given to
Sons of the American Revolution by
DR.. William c. Huntington, former
commercial attache OF the United
States embassy at Petrograd, at a
meeting in Rauscher's last night.
The end justifies the means" is the
motto which has carried Bolshevism
thus far. DIR. Huntington stated. "And
its the means we object to-" he said.
They look to government by the
proletariat, which may be all right II
the proletariat can govern, but the
violent means which the >Bolsheviks
are taking to this end is the cause Of
the Russian catastrophe"
Comments on Revelation.
A few of his statements were:
Russian streets did not flow with
blood because most Of the murders
were committed in cellars and at
night.
The French Revolution is being re-
enacted. Red Guards may be seen
JOY riding in automobiles with fair
ladies.
Upper classes. to some degree, join
ed the Bolshevik move because they
needed food. and the Bolsheviks con-
trolled it.

force OF arms, as a herd of sheep Is
kept lin control by a lone shepherd

abounds.
The reds have posted bulletins for
English soldiers. calling them "com-
rades." asking. why fight for capi-
talists when they should be fighting
for themselves and their homes?"
500 Die for One.
When a single Bolshevik had been
assassinated. 500 non-suspecting in
dividuals were lined up and shot as
a reprisal.
Russia is circulating 10000, 900. 900
rubles on nothing more than the
people of Russia as security. The
government is having some trouble
In putting out enoughs money be-
cause of the shortage Of dies and
paper.
There is no medicine; hospitals
are overcrowded; a burial Is some
thing difficult to arrange: famine Is
gripping the land; 1t comes slowly:
1t is a great asset of Bolshevism.
In solving the Russian problem the
land must go to the peasants. Some
are willing to pay for it. How 1t is
to be paid for Is another problem. but
the land must go to the peasants.
Gloom is everywhere. There is no
ioy In living Theaters stumble
through an existence. Amusement Is
feigned. 1t is almost depressing to
breathe.
DIR. Huntin yton declared that he was
willing to exhibit documents and de-
crees of the Bolsheviks, ordering vio-
lence. to contradict statements being
made to the contrary. He closed his
address with the statement that the
present Russian government has failed
economically and legislatively. The
cause. he said. was that the people
were not qualified to govern them
selves properly.
