BoIshevism Is Not New
Excepting in the Name

There is nothing new in bolshevism
excepting the name, writes Gustavus
Myers, in the Review. The essentials
of 1t, he says, were spread broadcast
in the United States 30 years ago.
Industrial communism, free and easy
marriage and divorce, children the
property of the state, abolition Of re-
ligious instruction, ETC., were all pro-
posed here during the years 1S26-34.
The bolshevism of that time, like that
Of today, became an acute public ques-
ton with astonishing suddenness, but
the approaches were gradual and could
be traced to the French revolution and
the anti-religious campaign headed by
Thomas Paine. Then came Robert
Dale Owen, with his gospel Of perfect
social and industrial equity.

Silk Keeling Discovered
in China Year 1900 B. C.

In the garden of Hoang-Ti, emperor
Of China in 100 B. c., Sizing Chi, the
empress, gathered the cocoons Of the
silkworm and discovered a way to reel
the silk. From this she learned to
weave marvellous, shimmering fabrics
of silk. For many years the secret Of
the source Of silk was guarded with
the death penalty by the emperors Of
China. However, this mysterious cloth
was exported to many countries. And
even to this day Si-Ling-Chi is wor-
shipped in China as the Goddess of
the Silkworms."

The message was signed by the city
commission. by n A. Barrett, presi-
dent.
1t had been the original intention
or the city commission to invite Cen
eral Pershing to Birmingham. and the
officials merely were waiting for what
they considered the psychological mo-
nent to present the formal invita- =
ton

the Geographic story in The Age-Her-
aid of yesterday morning that General
Pershing had declined the invitation of
civic associations to visit Birmingham.
iptimating that he could only accept
these proffers when extended by
municipal governments.
In this connection it was indicated,
southern cities had been negligent in
taking official action.
The hope prevailed at the meeting
of the commissioners that General Per-
shing would not deem the invitation
belated. but would accept.
