COBLENZ.-C in Coblenz

their stores of silverware and jewelry
which have been in hiding most of
the time since the Americans came to
Germany.
Preceding the American army of
occupation were wild reports regard
ing the khaki clad soldiers and most
of the civilians, expecting their
homes to be plundered, hurridly
placed thir valuables in safety de-
posit vaults in the banks or in their
backyards.
Now that the Germans have
learned to trust the Americans they
are telling how and where their
treasure has been hidden all these
months.

The Orofino forestry office reported
having received 35 men Tuesday and
stated the labor situation continues
satisfactory. The men going into the
fires are doing good work and very
few are quitting their jobs without
legitimate excuses. The fact is prac-
tically all of the men are staying on
the job and effective work is the re-
suit.
The Clearwater reserve has a bad
fire on Goose creek, near the Mon
tana line, and while the organization
of the crews is handled out of the
Orofino office, the men are taken into
the fire from the Montana side. This
fire has burned over about 1000 acres,
some of which was green timber.
Danger Period Ahead.
The danger period for the national
forests in Idaho is during August In
a normal season, the crews for fight
ing fires are just being organized the
latter part of July and quite frequent
ly no fires have been reported prior
to the first Of August. This season
the fires have been burning for the
past three weeks, hundreds of men
are employed in the national forests
of Idaho and the season for the real
forest fires has not arrived
There is an advantage, however, in
the fact that the forestry officers have
been fortunate in securing good men
and have built up organizations that
can cope with any situation possible
to control by human hands. The
August is the month of cleo

the state and the forestry officials

CHICAGO RIOTS
SITUATION BETTER
WINDY CITY COMPARATIVELY
QUIET FOR FIRST TIME
SINCE LAST SUNDAY

CHICAGO.-By Associated Press.
Chicago is comparatively quiet and
calm today for the first time since
Sunday. Public officials expressed
the belief that the use of five regi-
ments of state troops has effectually
quelled the race riots which resulted
in 80 deaths and injury of more than
1000 persons.
Dozens of arrests were made OF
both whites and blacks charged with
carrying concealed weapons. There
has been sporadic fighting but no mob
attacks are reported. State militia
men are patrolling the danger dis
tricts on the south side.
Last Night Was Better.
Chicago streets last
night were patrolled by soldiers called
out by Governor Lowden at the re-
quest of Mayor Thompson for the pro-
lection of life and property threatened
by the race war which for four days
has terrorized the city.
The state troops established a
barred zone about three miles square
embracing most of the colored resi-
Dental districts on the south side.
In this zone they search every
person whom they meet for weapons.
No one could pass in or out without
military permission. The district ex-
tended roughly from Twenty
street to Fifty-fifth street, north and
south, and from Michigan boulevard
to Wentworth avenue, east and west.
This happened when riots in the
colored district itself had somewhat
subsided, but when there was an
alarming spread of disturbances out
side. New York Central railroad
officials reported all theeir trains |
being fired on.
Declares Situation "Ominous."
Adjutant General Frank S. Dick |
son, after an early evening trip
through the threatened district, de-
clared that the situation was 'omi-
nous"
Hundreds of negroes appealed for |
protection. Negro leaders declared /
that many members of their race
faced starvation because drivers of
supply wagons feared to enter some
portions of the black belt.
Late tonight mobs of whites and
negroes were reported roaming over
various localities of the south side
and at Fifty eighth street and Racine
avenue negroes were said to have
clashed with troops. Negroes also
were reported to have driven all
whites from the streets in the vicin-
ity of Sixty-third and Loomis streets,
while fires were burning in two diff
ferent neighbofhoods, one in white
and the other in a
colored colony. A woman was re-
ported slain in the riot at Forty
seventh street and Indiana avenue.
Policeman Shot Through Abdomen
Arthur johnson, policeman, was
shot through the abdomen tonight
while policemen were rushing in a
patrol wagon to the scene of riot.
One hundred and twelve fire alarms
we're sounded tonight from the south
side, most of them from negro set
dement's. Incendiarism by whites was
charged by the police in many cases,
at one place where half
lozen houses were destroyed. There,
iremen reported, white rioters threw
bricks in an effort to prevent them
rom extinguishing the fire.
Early in the night the policemen on
lot duty began to appeal for am ;
nunition. Policemen furnish their =,
,wn cartridges, but many of them
lave exhausted their supplies.

The Voice of Americanism
tFrom the New York Tribune.)

Massachusetts, stands by the ancient
American faith. Her people were chal-
lenged by the forces Of syndicalism and
soyietism TO say whether or not they
still adhered to the old ideas Of the
rights and powers OF government based
on the will Of the majority. They have
given a crashing answer.
The Boston police strike raised clear,
issue between the forces which are try
ing TO sustain the American conception
OF the state and those which are trying
to destroy It. The policemen joined
labor federation and presently, by de
serting their posts in a body, showed
that they put their associated private
interests above their duty as public
servants. Governor Coolidge decided
TO treat them as deserters. He has re-
fused TO reinstate them or to promise
them reinstatement later. His oppO-
nent, Mr.. Long, favored taking them
back after the election.
All the power Of labor demagOgues
and Of the anti-American propagandists
was exerted to elect Long and defeat
Coolidge. The labor radicals realized
that their theory of group organization
TO cOerce unOrganized majOrities and
the government which ought to be, but
not always has been the agent Of those
majorities, was squarely challenged.
The policemen had been inspired with
a feeling Of group antagonism toward
the State, similar to the feeling Of
workers. in ordinary industry toward
private employers. II the authority Of

didn't try to dodge or compromise. He
ran on the platform that the police
strike was wrong from every point OF
view. He denounced the efforts Of those
who tried to use the strike as a means
OF breaking down the States authority.
He appealed to the people to support
him in resisting the illegimate pressure
OF labor organizations. which had
transferred their activities from the
economic to the political field
That appeal has had an extraordinary
result Governor Coolidge has apparent

ality ever given to a candidate for gov

labor union and radical elements, by a

and this in an industrial State where
manual workers are in an enormous
majority.
The same thing, we believe, would
have happened in any other State. The
people generally have looked on in
differently. while the labor radicals

nority activity and far-reaching eco
nomic pretensions. The radicals have

BoIshevism and fh2 Ukraine

/ TO live their vwn national life in free
dom, and therefore hoped for social
revolution throughout the whole world
But within a month OF the occupation
Of Ukraine by the Moscow armies, the
Party Of the Left recognized its mis-
take, and set TO work among the peo-
pie, together with all other parties, 10
stir up revolt against the Red tyranny.
At the present time the populations Of
Kiev and Odessa, as well as OF that half
OF the Republic which has already
shaken off the Bolshevik yoke. in re-
sponse to the appeal OF the intellectuals,
recognize only the authority OF the Di-
rectOrate OF the Ukralnisn Republic.
One may say today that the partisans
Of Bolshevism are not more numerous
in Ukraine than in France or Italy. II
would be enough for the Ukrainian
Government to receive material aid
from the Entente and the national army
would drive out the Russian Bolsheviks
from its whole territory and thus put
an end TO Bolsheyism throughout what
was formerly Southern Russia. The pO-
litical leaders have. 1t is true, pledged
themselves to certain Indispensable so
cal and agrarian reforms
and the enemies Of the Ukraine have
seized upon these as a proof that the
Ukrainlan Government was in agree
ment with Lenin and Trotsky; they
have spoken of an alliance with the ad-
herents of Bella Kun, and Of "Ukrainian
BOlshevism." As aaginst these state
ments one must remember that II the
Bolsheviks occupied Roumania or Po-
land they would assuredly dignity the
anarchy they produced by the name OF
the "ROumanian" or Polish" Soviet
Government People who talk in this
strain, moreover consider as "BOlshe-
viks" not merely all Socialists, English
Radicals, and American Democrats.
II BOlshevism were gaining ground in
Ukraine, how can one explain the pres
ent occupation Of that country by Red
bands from Moscow, and the serious
resistance offered to them by the peO-
pie and national army? The truth is
that the Ukrainian army, thrown en-
tirely upon its own resources, is giving
a magnificent example Of devotion to
the cause Of order and justice which
has triumphed with the Entente. Il is
the enemies Of Petlura's soldiers who
are the true. aiders and abettors Of the
Bolsheviks, and not those soldiers
themselves. who are lighting for the
emancipation Of their country from
Soviet tyranny.

THE Temps OF 25 July publishes an
interesting letter from an occasional
correspondent in Bucarest, which we
reproduce)
The Ukraine is not at present Bolshe-
vik Past Ond present history
both go to prove this
When on 25 October, 1917, the Rus
sian Bolsheyiks came into power in
Great Russia, the Provisional Parlia-
ment OF the Ukraine (the Central
Radal, composed OF si3 deputies elect
cd by the whole population Of the
Ukraine Republic, refused by an unanl-
nous vote OF its members and Of It's
government, 10 recognize the BOlshevlk
Government. This brought upon the
new Republic a formal declaration OF
war on the part Of the Moscow Com
missaries. After defeating the Red
bands the Republic further emanci-
pated itself from Soviet Imperialism
The people chose their representatives,
for the Constituent Assembly; 230 dep
uties IN ALL or these there were IT'S
Ukrainian Anti-Bolshevists. 30 deputies
Of other natiOnalities, Jews, and Anti
Bolshevist Russians, and only % par
tisans Of the Bolshevlst idea.
During the German occupation It
might have been expected that the rule
OF the Hetman, established by the Kali
ser's armies after the dissolution Of the
Ukraine Parliament, would have driven
this cruelty oppressed people into Boil
shevism; but this was not the case. On
the contrary. the masses OF the people
focked TO the National Socialist and
Democrat parties, as they had done at
the time Of the upheaval. The Bolshe-
yiks had 2J0 Ukrainian deputies and 65
anti-Bolsheyiks against them, and only
30 seats were secured by the friends of
Lenin.
The reason for this failure OF the
Soviet idea in Ukraine is that s. per
cent. Of the population consists OF
peasants, who are hostile TO all BOlshe-
vik methods and do not wish to see the
power pass into the hands Of the pro-
letariat OF the cities; Of the remainder,
10 per cent. are landed prOprietors, in
tellectuals, business men. members OF
the liberal professions and skilled arti-
sans.

ties, such as the Social Democrats tthe

Revolutionaries Party Of the Left,
