BOlNheyiSm OF Communism.

Brunswick, Germany, Sept. 1S.-
August Merges, a German communist
leader who has just returned from
Moscow, says that "bolshevism as
DraCtiCed in Russia is not Simon pure
unadulterated communism. The cost
of living there is excessively high: pa
per money is wiped out with paper
money and people generally have the
blues"
MergeS, n little hunchbacked Jour
neyman tailor, who staged the COM
munist revolt in Brunswick in 1919,
warns his comrades against settling in
Russia.
Politics in Russia are controlled bH
the communist party, which counts
100000 members, several hundred
thousands Of whom are office seekers
and political hangers-on who are not
to be trusted" Merges declared in an
address on his Russian discoveries.
He declared that the Russian system
was not suited to Germany, because
OF its rigid Capitalization combined
with tedious bureaucracy, and it's
imitation of Capitalistic methods. He
told the Moscow reds, he said, that the
German communists did not propose
TO take orders from them.

The Eight-Hour Law.

Stockholm, Sept. ga government

government has just recommended
that the law be suspended and revised.
II advocates that the length of the
working day should be made depend
snt upon a mutual agreement between
employers and employees and that
some provision be made for longer
working hours under certain Circum-
stances.
The committee was unanimous i'm
finding that the expectation that the
measure would encourage industry on
the part OF the workers has not been
realized. II reports that in no single
line of work have the employees shown
any greater efficiency or energy. that
there has been a COnsidera Bile decline
i'm production. II says that several big
plans are on the verge of closing down
because they can not be made to earn
profits owing To heavy charges for i'm e.

higher payrolls ana the high cost of

the law heavy fines on employers were

The Day Of AtOnenent.

September 22nd is observed as Yom
kippur. the Day Of Atonement, by the
Jews throughout the world. This Is
the greatest fast Of the Jewish year
From sunset of the 21st till sunset of
the 22nd the observant Jew neither
eats nor drinks, but devotes the day
to fervent worship. Yom Kippur is
distinctive among Jewish holidays for
II Is not associated with nature or
with history. 1t is a day for the
searching Of the heart to find peace
with God.
The fast originated in Biblical times,
and is described in the sixteenth chap
ter of the book of Leviticus. In those
days the people tasted and afflicted
themselves while the high priest made
atonement for the entire house OF
Israel. This ato'.ement was made in
ancient fashion by sacrifices and es-
pecially by the symbolic rite of driv-
ing the scapegoat into the wilderness
70 bear away the sins of the people.
Now prayers take the place of sac
ritices. In modern Judaism prayer is
the right form of approaching God
Jews devote the Day OF Atonement to
prayers FOR the forgiVing Of their
sins. They avoid all ordinary and sor-
did interests on this Sabbath of Sab
baths The fasting is abrogated, how
ever, for childrei. old people and the
sick, or in times of famine and pesti-
lence, or such contingencies as are in
cident to the deprivations of war.
The aim of Yom Kippur is atone
ment through prayer ana repentance.
These contain no element of media
ton through either a redeemer or
sacrifice. The only true repentance
comes through change of heart and
an effort to do better. Each human
being stands before his Maker seek
ing in honesty to make his record
clean.
A feature Of Yom Kippur is the
memorial service. Men and women
| think of their dear departed and Of the
great and good who served mankind
Especially in time of stress, when
| many brave men are offering up their
| lives, fervor animates these prayers by
which their memory is honored and
their ideals are preserved.

Collection OF the tax not only in

heavy taxes levied By the country In
which they are located aud are thus
taxed twice without representation
either I'm the government OF that coun-

that when the relative high cost OF liv-

by foreign residence are considered.
incomes abroad that appear large are
not really so In comparison with those
paid I'm the United States. and the col
