gled with the half dozen or so vari-
cites of uniform, men who wear no
uniforms at all: They fight, as did
the .francs-tireurs in the Franco
Prussian war and the first minute
men of the American revolution, for
the protection Of their firesides.
They are peasants. bearded or
beardless, with nothing to distinguish
them from the thousands of other
peasants living around them but their
guns and cartridge belts. They are
the irregular Or partisan troops,
and the sentiments they are showing
and fighting for in this wilderness Of
snow and pine trees loom up so patri-
otically that the government Of
Northern Russia is beginning to look
to build a Russian state that will be
free from Bolshevism.
These peasants have known the
ravages of Bolshevik troops in their
villages. They have een friends ex-
ecuted for ti-Bolshevik activities.
They hail the Allies as In
nearly every attack the regular troops
make against the enemy one finds
these armed partisans, crack shots,
of the Americans, British, French and
trained, uniformed Russians to scout
a path or taxi pot-shots at the enemy.
The point Of view of these peasants
is this: 1.-THE army has not yet been
organized; we are robbed and ILL
treated by the Bolsheviki; therefore
we have to defend ourselves" The
peasants in the Kholmogory district,
along the Dwina river, have been
fighting for four months. Military
authorities say they do their work as
cheerfully and efficiently as regular
soldiers. The Red Guards are help.
less against the revolted population.
The appearance Of peasants fight.
ing voluntarily against Trotzky's
forces has a demoralizing effect upon
the Bolsheviki as it disabuses the
minds of some of them of the theory
that they are being opposed only by
"imperialfsts."
The government Of the north for a
long time did nothing to help the
partisans. but. now hat their useful.

families are pr%ovfsioned as III they

Political Parties at Sea.

Chaos reigns in national politics.
1t appears that both parties, while
not admitted, are skeptical of vic
tory at the polls next year. A state
of confusion exists in the ranks,
Democratic and Republican, and it
is probable that organized labor will
put still another party in the field.
Thus far there is no towering per-
|sonality in either party available for
leadership, we mean successful lead
ership. The following utterance cred
tied to a member of the Democratic
national committee accurately de-
picts the situation:
Democracy is in devil of fix
just now: if we renominate Wilson
it will mean disaster at the polls and
if VIC don't we face chaos in the con-
vention. There's one consolation,
however. The Republicans are worse
off than we are"
Well, if we are to have Repub-
lican president, let US all pray that
Mr.. Taft will be the man We have a
strong suspicion however, that he is
too staunch friend of the South to
meet with general favor among the
rank and file of the Republican par
