Baltic Is Seething
With Bolshevisn1

BERLIN, Oct. 21.--General Won
der Goltz, late commander of the
German troops in the Baltic prov
inces, stated in an interview in the
Boersen Zeitung that he favored the
undertaking of Col. Bermondt be-
cause the Baltic states were strongly
infected with bolshevism, which was
likely to spread through East Prus-
sia if the government did not cut off
its access.
General Won der Goltz, who left
Col. Bermondt Wednesday of last
week, said that half the German
troops had then left for Germany,
but that the other half of the men
had renounced their German citizen
ship and became Russians. The gen
eral asserted that the objects of Col.
Bermondt were similar to those of
General Denikene, aiming at the for
nation of federated state in Russia
excluding Finland and Poland.

Elections Come
High in Germany

BERLIN, (By MailD--Democracy
comes fairly high in Germany. While
she has no campaign expense laws like
America, she is already learning that
elections are costly as evidenced by
a compilation os the costs for the ma
tional assembly and Prussian land
assembly elections some months back.
The expense against the government
was more than 100000 marks
while to the parties involved the ex-
pense was more than 100000
marks.
These expenses are likely to be
vastly increased when the elections
for the Reichstag occur SO far, nc
definite dates have been set for these
but the present regime is striving hard
to get the elections postponed to next
spring on the theory that elections
this fall or winter would only make
for fresh unrest.
Both the right and left are massini
funds, however, so as to make &
strong campaign against the moder
ate regime, and the new tests viii
furnish one of the bitterest cam
paigns ever waged in Europe.

new riddle of the Sphinx. The ques-

the masses of men and women who la
Dor with their hands to be secured
out of the production of their toll
what they will feel to be and will be
in fact a fair return? Until we can
answer that question we shall have no
peace, and if we fail to answer it we
shall have a revolution.

a policy that treats all men as broth
ers, all equally entitled to the fruits
of their labor, all equally entitled tc
raise themselves as high as possible
each in his own place, without doing
wrong to any of the rest, 1t is the
spirit of justice and fraternity that
must be our guide. And where are
we to look for leadership if not ir
