Aggressive Bolshevism.

A report from Stockholm that Brit,
fsh naval squadron in a sea fight in
the Baltic had captured Nicolai Lenin
and Naval Minister Easkolninov of the
bolshevik government appears now to
have been incorrect. But Lenin, it
now develops, had a very narrow es-
cape in another quarter, when the
Czecho-Slovak forces under Gen. Gaida
took the city of Perm, in the Ural noun
tains. the other day. Lenin was direct
ing the operations from an armored
train. Though several members of his
party were taken prisoner he managed
to make his escape. 1t is difficult to
see how he could have been encoun-
tered in naval engagement in the
Baltic so quickly after his flight from
Perm, which is about thousand miles
from Petrograd.
IF Lenin were captured much prog
fess would be made toward the restora-
tion of order in Russia. He is I'M
doubtedly the evil genius of the stu
alton in that unhappy land, and as
long as he remains in power there will
be friction. He is too far involved
now to adjust to the new situation ere
ated by allied victory and doubtless
intends to go through to a finish. He
cannot possibly hope to gain any reeog-
milton whatever from the allies.
If the bolsheviki persist in aggres-
sive action against Poland military in
fervention by the allies will become
necessary. Foreign Minister Pichon at
Paris the other day stated that inter
yention was contemplated only as a
defense measure at present to prevent
the spread of bolshevism. But the boil
i shevists themselves appear to be bent
upon forcing the issue by maintaining
m active campaign against the peoples
who are seeking autonomous establish
ment Their operations are not only
Of . military character, however, but
are conducted along the line of dan
ferrous propaganda. Bolshevist agents
have appeared in Czeeho-Slovakia,
where they have been coldly received.
They are busy in Poland. A distinct
bolshevist element has appeared also
in Rumania The greatest menace at
this time is at Wilma, where military
force of the Lenin government is ac-
tive, apparently with German approval
and cooperation.
Allied operations at this time are
confined to movements in the Baltic,
where landings have been effected at
Riga and Libau. It is possible that an
sxpeditionary force may be sent
southwark from the coast to check the
movement against Wilma, and pro-
gram Of active military Intervention
~may quickly develop in consequence of
the emergency created by the bolshe-
visit program Of aggression.

when removed from the struggle for

 (Signed) GEORGE M. CONAN.
 The Miracle Man" is to be the of fering of the Edler Stock company at the Elks theater beginning Monday October 6. As this is a most unusual bill for any stock company to present, so the Edler company is making un- usual arrangements for the produc- tion here. It is play full of sensa- tions and Is the story of the rise of underworld men and women to heights through the efforts of wonderful per- sonage.
 A man has been accomplishing won- derful cures in a little Maine village, doing it free of charge for the good or the cause. A band of crooks in New York, three men and a woman, de- termine to turn this simple man and his wonderful work to their own self ish and illegal use. The girl is sent to the Maine village pretending to be the old mans grand niece. The three other crooks are to follow later. The crooks are to pretend to be afflicted with various diseases and to become cured through the efforts of the man. But the girl is turned to the side of the old man and so are the three men crooks. The story as unfolded in the dramatization of "The Miracle Man is an intensely interesting one and will be presented in a thoroughly capable manner by the Edler company

All the characters are human and vital and the story is full of strong situations.
