shevist Propaganda.
 Washington.-Calling for the patri. etic support of all true Americans in its fight to protect their homes, re- ngion and property from the spread Ing menace of Bolshevism, the United States Department of Justice has is- sued a warning against the insidious propaganda of the Reds" during the new year. It reads:
 "It would be extremely helpful to the cause of good government, the main- tenance of law and order and the pres. srvation of peace and happiness in our country If the people on this New Years day would resolve to study, un- derstand and appreciate the so-called Red movement They can counter act 1t most effectively by teaching Its purpose through the press, the church, the schools, patriotic organizations and labor unions, all of which are within the range of It's insidious attacks.
 "Red" Theories Criminal.
 "The Red movement does not mean an attitude of protest against alleged defects in our present political and economic organization of society. It does not represent the radlcalism of progress. It represents a specific doc trine-namely, the introduction of die tatorships the world over by force and violence. It Is not a movement of lib- srty-loving persons, but distinctly criminal and dishonest movement. Lenine himself made the statement at the Third Soviet Conference, Among one hundred so-called Bolshevists there ls one real Bolshevik, thirty-nine crim- lnals and sixty fools It advocates the destruction of all ownership in proper ty, the destruction of all religion and belief In God It is a movement or ganized against Democracy and in fa- vor of the power of the few built by force. Bolshevism, syndicalism, the Soviet Government, sabotage, etc, are only names for old theories of violence and criminality.

 Enough their adherents in this coun- try are advocating and fomenting strikes, Lenine and Trotzky forbid strikes, and trade unions are being broken up and completely subordinated to the will of the few demagogues in control in Russia. This Bolshevist ex- pertinent on the living body of the Russian people has not proven in any sense of the word an experiment in Democracy. The Bolshevist leaders frankly repudiate democratic princi- pies as we understand them. It has been a gamble which meant for Rus sia, and, indeed, for the whole of hu- manity, enormous losses in lives as well as In material resources. The Bolshevists have run up a colossal bill which the Russian workmen and peas ants will have to pay.
 "Reds" Menace America.
 Having lived at the expense of the Russian people for two years, these spectators in human lives and other peoples earnings are trying to move to new fields to the east and to the west, hoping to take advantage of the economic distress and confusion of mind in which humanity finds itself after the terrific strain of five years of war.
 Its sympathizers in this country are composed chiefly of criminals, mis- taken idealists, social bigots and many unfortunate men and women suffering with varying forms of hyperesthesia. They are enemies of the government, cf the church and of the home and ad. vocate principles which mean the aboli- ton of all three of these safeguards of civilization.
 Would Rob Everybody.
 Twenty million people in this coun- try own Liberty Bonds. These the Reds propose to take away; 9,830, 900 people in the United States own farms and 8,S3s,O 900 more own homes. which they would forfeit; 100000 odd peo- pie have savings accounts In savings banks and 1s,OOO,OOO people have de- posits in our national banks, at which they aim. There are hundreds of thou sands of churches and religious insti- tutions, all of which they would abol- fish. In other words, 10000, 900 hard working and saving people who own property, love liberty and worship God are asked to abandon all the ideals of religion, liberty and government, which are the outcome of the struggles of their fathers and their own develop mont, and to place themselves, their homes, their family and their religious faith in the keeping and their property under the domination of small group of Lenines and Trotzkys.
 Protection Promlsed.
 'This department, as far as existing laws allow, intends during the forth coming year to keep up an unhinching, persistent, aggressive warfare against any movement, no matter how cloaked or dissembled. having for its purpose either tho promulgation of these ideas or the eIcitation of sympathy for those who spread them.
