IS WORLD MENACE:
 ACTION URGED

AMSTERDAM.-The five card inal points of Bolshevism are, ac- cording to M. Oudendyk, formerly Dutch minister in Petrograd, as follows:
 One-High wages.
 Two-Don't work.
 Three-Take other peoples property.
 Four-No punishment.
 Five-No taxation.
 ''I wish, said MT. Oudendyk, "to give a solemn warning to the work ing classes of all nations against the high-falutin notions which have seen in Russia. Bolshevism, l say without eXaggeration, is the end of civilization. I have known Russia intimately for twenty years under the old regime and under the new conditions. Never nave the working classes of Russia suf fered as they are doing at the pres ent moment notwithstanding all that the present so-called ruling classes in that country choose to tell the world
 "The bulk of the workmen ,n Russia are today far nnl way worse off than they ever have been and the state of unemployment is s/nply terrible. When 1 left Petrograd the situation was one of utter star vation and most people hardly knew how they would exist through the following day. Wherever Bolshe- vism rules, the nation has been beaten to pulp and is utterly help less. The future to me seems hope less. One thing is certain, that, left as she is now, Russia will be in a state of utter and complete ruin.
 Factories are at standstill and are being ruined and, without the aid of foreign capital, they can never be revived. have never seen or dreamt of the possibility of such corruption, tyranny, and the absence of all semblance of freedom as there is in Russia at the present moment.
 "Most of the workmen now be- gin to see that the regime of Bol- 'hevism cannot possibly last. The whole world must stand shoulder to shoulder so that out of the ruins something may arise, but personally know not what"

HIGH PRICES IN BELGIUM

Conditions in Belgium generally are very hard reports an Associated Press correspondent, writing from Belgium The prices of food have reached a distressing height. Coffee costs the equivalent of about S5 a pound; meat and butter, $2.50; sugar, $.62; eggs, 40 cents each. Mems suits of poor quality cost from $10O to $12O, Mems shoes are about the same as clothing. A moderate meal in d restaurant costs the equivalent of about $5.
 The streets of Brussels and other cities are filled with promenading crowds from morning to night be- cause scarcely anybody does any work. The shops, many of which indeed are closed, sell next to noth- ing for two reasons; in the first place, because they have very little to sell, and secondly because the prices are so high that the public cannot possibly afford to pay them. The people have been very much disappointed about prices. They always hoped that as soon as the war was over and the armistce was signed the necessaries of life would be procurable at normal prices. Their anticipation has been far from realized. In fact, people have to pay nowadays quite as much as when the Germans were in Brus- sels.
 The number of places of amusc ment, dancing houses and the like has increased to a great extent.
 Another grave economic diff cuty arises out of what is called the unemployment fund. This was created during the war to aid work men, employers and others to en- able them to subsist without having to be dependent upon the Germans. In the first instance this fund work ed advantageously, but after while a different state of things arose A workman who was being fed yratuitously by the relief organiza- tions received from the unemploy- ment fund regular pay of about 100 franc a month for doing nothing, and numbers of these workmen, well content with their lot, refuse to re- turn to work.
 The railways, telephones and tele- graphs in Belgium have been for practical purposes destroyed. The Belgians are doing their best to restore them, but it will take a long time before the -bellum condition is reestablished. Out of pure mischief the Germans de- stroyed all that they could. For in- stance, the rails on the line between Adenkerke to Bruges and Ghent were cut into pieces three or four yards in length and this was done in the most systematic manner, a special machine being brought up to sever the rails one by one. The line is now being gradually re- stored, but one can still see the short lengths of rail ranged in heaps along the track.
 Communication between one town and another is most difficult. In places where the lines are to some extent, hut only temporary, re-es- l. blishe' one or two trains are run in the d.y, but they go very slowly, taking many hours over journeys which formerly lasted from half al hour to an hour. Until the communication routes are restored tna re-, provisioning of Blegium will Dc very difficult and prices cannot go down.

WORLDS LARGEST
ARENA BUILT OF
SOUTHERN PINE
Mills Of the South Furnish
Lumber of Willard Dempsey

1t takes a. sawmill and miles of
lumber to stage championship prize
fight this year.
At the site of the Willard Demp-
sey, arena, in the suburbs of Toledo,
Ohio, where two claimants for a
worlds fistic title, will battle July
4, big construction job is under way.
Eighty thousand people are expect
ed to witness this contest and to ac-
commodate this immense crowd the
largest stand ever built for a prize
fight is rapidly taking shape.
A million and three-quarters feet
Of Southern Pine lumber is required
for the erection of the stadium, which
is mile in circumference and 600 feet
across, with maximum height of
35 feet from the bleacher seats to the
ficient to build a board walk three
ground. This lumber would be suf-
flcient to build board walk three
feet wide and 100 miles long. To
transport it to Toledo from the pine
forests of the South, 81 heavily load
ca freight cars were required. A
small sawmill has ben set up in the
"a foot ring to cut the lumber into
lengths. Hundreds of carpenters
and other workmen are engaged on
the job.
This is the second of the great ar
enas erected in this country in recent
years for a prize fight, the first hav-
ing been built at Reno, Nevada. The
Keno stand was also built of South
ern pine, which is wood especially
adapted to construction undertakings
OF this character, because it is com
paratively cheap and possesses the
strength to stand up under heavy
weight: A prize fight stand, no less
than the fighters, must be able to
"take punishment "

Ammunition
MAKE ESCAPE:
Ex-American Soldier COnfesses
to Part in the Mexican
Plot.

Nogales, Ariz., June 21.-Three
men, one an American and the other
ed with an extensive plot to smuggle
ed whit an extensive plot to smuggle
ammunition into Mexico, on which
charge Joseph Littman, ex-soldier.
was arrested last night, escaped to-
day into Mexico.
Littman, who recently was employ
ed in the Nogales postoffice. was ar
rested while attempting to run an
automobile load of ammunition intJ
Mexico. The cargo consisted of 1G,-
900 rounds of 1880 cartridges, 1000
rounds of $500 cartridges and 1000
rounds of As calibre pistol cartridges.
Other ammunition was found in Lift
mans room, according to government
agents.
Littman declared today in a state
ment to department of justice agents
that the ammunition taken from his
automobile was destined for the MeXi-
can federal army and that he had
been smuggling ammunition to the
Carranza forces for the last two
months, according to a government
announcement
Officials here said that they doubt
ed the truth of his statement, since
the ammunition said to have been
found in his room was of various cali
bers and the rifles used by the Car
rama forces are reported to be 80 per-
cent Mausers.
One of the men believed to have
been associated with Littman in the
smuggling plot, who escaped into
Mexico today, is said to be prom
inent Villa leader.

Of woods near the outskirts of the

less body of a white woman, two
miles north of this city in an old pas

to be that of Henrietta Edwards, also

THE COUNTRY SUNDAY SCHOOL

IL Cne sunday OcnOOl mas Deen al
lowed to die down there should be no
further delay in reorganizing it.
In our concern for the mental de-
velopment of our children, we should
not forget the need for moral train
ing also. In the writer's neighbor-
hood a boy was to have graduated at
the high school last month-a bright
boy in books-spent the commence
ment period in Jail, having entered
store at night and killed it's owner
only few weeks before. Proper
moral training had not accompanied
his mental training.
Every father and mother should
ask himself or herself if the Sunday
School is not needed to support the
training given in the home and pub
lie school. And even if a boy learned
nothing useful in Sunday School, it
might still be worth while for him to
go, simply because the Sunday School
offers an opportunity for him to meet
other boys and girls in the right en-
vlronment and under wholesome in
fluences. The average boy who has
nothing to do from sunup to shutdown
every Sunday is pretty likely to get
into mischief.
The moral and spiritual benefits of
the country Sunday School, therefore,
should alone insure efforts to utilize
and strengthen it, while the social
and intellectual advantages which it
also offers should not be improperly
considered. The Bible is one of the
worlds supreme pieces of literature,
and to study it Sunday after Sunday
will contribute not little to any
bodys mental growth and equipment.
