Horrors of Bolshevism

From LeSlie B.
 Whatever may be said about. the theoretic beauties of socialistic state, the achievements of bolshevism colsti- titute d record beyond all dispute. Bol- shevism has done it's best to turn Rus sia into a madhouse and graveyard. Fugitives struggling into Switzerland describe life in Russia as nightmare in a lunatic asylum" Dogs and men and women fight for the flesh of a starving horse that drops in the streets. Famine and fear have combined to pro- duce an epidemic of insanity. Asy- lums are overcrowded, and luna aItics stalk through the streets. Funerals have been "nationalized,' bodies of. the dead being carted away and dumped in to a common grave at the cost of the state, no religious ceremony being per mitted In some of the towns women have been "nationaliZed" for the gar risons. While the people are being swept away by starvation and disease, bolshevist leaders live in luxury and fill the nights with indescriable ord ies. David K. Francis, American ambaE Esa- dor to Russia, has confirmed before the Senate propaganda committee the horrors of bolshevism, as revealed by travellers and refugees.
 To those who fancy America is inn mune from bolshevism there should be a warning in the report of the Seh hate committee of the discovery of D ots through the mails. The I. W. w. and the radical socialists have been D an ming to overthrow the American gov-
