a EoIShevik Weakness.

Napoleon once said that three things
were necessary to carry on war
money, more money and yet more
money. For modern warfare, the
prime necessity is munitions, more
munitions ana yet more munitions.
This is where the bolahevik forces
will break down, provided that the
allies do their duty and exercise a
strict surveillance over all the sources
of supply to the enemy The army
of the Hungarian Bolsheviki has no
longer the Shoda works. the Krtpp
of Austria. to draw upon. as these are
now safely in the hands of the Czecho-
Slovaks. The allied army of occupa-
ton on the Rhine is encamped ten
miles from Krupp's works at Essen.
and could seize them in a single after
noon. The Russian Bolsheviki, il is
true. posses the great Puttiloff NUM-
ton works at Petrograd, but the nee
essary raw materials are lacking to
turn out munitions in any great guam
tity. Besides. the population of the
capital is in a starving condition and
chaos reigns. 1t is very unlikely that
Lenine could trust the people of Pet
rograd to manufacture munitions on
a large scale for fear that they might
be used against their taskmasters.
As the allies possess the mastery of
the sea and are in a position to turn
out munitions for themselves in prac-
tically unlimited quantities, the mil
itary menace of bolshevism is not
very great. There are no objects in
the world so completely useless as
rifles without cartridges and guns
without shells. If then, the allies
show vigilance and bring all the press
ure it is in their power to exert on
neutral nations to prevent their fur
nishing munitions, the bolsheviki will
soon cease to be military danger

Chateau ThierrY.

Already Americ an feet turn toward
Chateau-Thierry. Already the bat
tered city on the Marine is become a
shrine for pilgrims. 1t is all smiles
these days amid the new prosperity
these visitors bring. Guides lead the
wav through the memory crowded
streets. and in the windows, through
which less than a year ago machine
guns spat their fire, souvenirs are on
sale.
IT. seems probable that Chateau
Thierry Will always be the great
American shrine in Europe-the Get

Gus and yet altogether natural thing
that this should be so. and the reason
lies somewba at deeper than the mere
fact Chateau Thierry is nearer to
Paris of all our memory towns.
1t is true that only few hundred
Americans ever fought in its streets.
and, though there is associated with
it all the lighting that the spring and
summer saw between scissors and
Reims, it is true that our greatest ef-
fort. our most unstinted suffering,
our most grievous losses, were spent
on quite another and later battle

Mae Francis, is a singer as well as a
clever dancer.
