Supreme Effort of the SoViets--
Came Within Seven Days OF
Success in East.

Muskegon, Mich, July 26.-"Just as
we learned how to win the war from
Germany, so are we learning from that
country how to curb radicals In the
United States" declared Maj. Gen.

Guard, 32d division, A. f. f., now Of
the general staff, az dinner follow

Gen. Ham declared the switchmen's
"outlay" strike to be the supreme eff
fort of the 100000 radicals in the
United States. He said it came with
Ing seven days Of success in New
York. It was only that the workers
themselves learned they were being
fooled that the strike, backed by

Gen. Haan intimated the government
was prepared for civil war.
Army Ready for Use.

Gen. Ham.
ut was my business to work out
these plans for the use Of the army.
Our officers were busy In Germany OBJ
tanning information as how the civil
strife was curbed there. Information
of the four great efforts Of the rad
Icals had been obtained weeks in adj
vance.
1.-THE switchmens strike was the
supreme effort. The others were the
police, coal and steel strikes. The
order was given that there should be
no riOting by the strikers. The people
were to do the riotlng and then the
strikers planned to step in and gain
control of the situation.
"UniOn leaders had become disheaft-
ened, but decided to remain with t&e
unions to drive out the radicals. Seven
days more and the radicals would
have controlled New York through the
switchmen's strike. 1t shows some
thing Of the power of the problem we
face. and l believe the best way to
meet this Is by such training as given
at Camp Roosevelt.

In the United States. 1t comes from
poor leadership in civil life. The work

wrong the men simply say to hell

Camp Roosevelt was called the best
boys camp in American by the visit
ing officers. Besides Gen. Ham, they
are Col. Harry A. Smith, Col. Frank
J. Morrow, and Capt Roy w. Winton.
The Chicago r. O. L. G. also was
