when affairs called away his COM

once to the beautiful, gay capital; a

BOLSHEVISM IN AMERICA

For a month the ordinary activities of life in wlnni.
peg have been either suspended or materially interrupted
oy the strike which has been in progress there. Not only
have private industries been hampered in their legirnate
operations because Of quarrel in which they had no part
but the entire public service Of the city has been denora-
lized. The handling Of the mails has been performed,
after a fashion, by volunteers who took the places Of the
regular employees Of the public who left their work with.
out warning and without cause. Firemen have quit work,
leaving the city to burn. if the fates go willed it, Police
men have returned temporarily on their beats only. as a
concession by the strike committees. Self constituted
COMMITTEES have undertaken to say to the people OF the
city what work should be done, and what should not be
done; who should be fed and who should 70 hungry: and
what action should be taken by the regularly constituted
authorities. of the community in the performance of the
duties for which they were elected by the people at large.
A few days ago, following a similar series Of outrages
a little earlier. explosive bombs were used in various pa-
ces> In the United States for the purpose Of wreckins
buildings and destroying the lives Of persons who have
been more or less directly connected in an Official way
with the attempted detection and punishment Of murders
and professional anarchists. The avowed purpose Of these
outrages il to terroftIe the government Of the country and
It's agents. and to substitute Tor the orderly procedure OF

LABOR PROBLEM
Harder Allies Press Down on Rus
sian Bolsheviks More Doctrine
Spreads.

Paris, Feb. 5.-The greatest ard
most difficult problems before he
Peace Conference are thos of Rus
STA and labor. The two seem TO tie
allied closely.
Despite reports received here by
way of Geneva that the Bolsheliki
now have 100000 men under arms
and soon will have 100000 more,
the fear felt here is not of Russian
arms, but of spread of Russian
ideas.
By :biockading Russia, shutting eff
the supply of munitions, the Fol
xshevik army would be quickly rem
sdered powerless for purposes of
armed aggression. But the difficulty
is that the harder the allies press
down on Russia, the more widespread
may become Russia's propaganda in
other parts of the world.
Labor unrest is now world vide,
according to reports pouring into
Paris. In England and France The
situation is becoming disquiesing.
In the Central countries it is bad.
Putting down Bolshevism in Rus
STA wouldn't save the situation.
Labor elsewhere would also have to
be considered, dealt with and rea-
sonably satisfied.
That Soviet is in charge CT The
labor situation in Belfast doesn't
mean that the labor elements of
Belfast are Bolshevistic: On The
contrary, members of President
Wilson's party who made a stady
of Belfast labor conditions recently,
found that the labor classes OF that
city are not even Socialistic, but
they have grievances which he
presen. system of government has
failed to adjust.
